News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1391]

fix what is broken but destroy it at the expense of values that lie at the heart of our constitution. That is not acceptable and never will be.

You know.....I feel more threatened by a Linke who openly wants to abolish the capitalist system and reinstate socialism aka GDR 2.0....still, this party is not threatened by a Verbot and is totally a coalition possibiltiy for the mainstream parties, if need be also for the CDU.

In discussions about capitalism and socialism you often hear "let the people decide"....

You are not fooling anybody!

I'm bowing out here....Gute Nacht all

It wasn't though. The murder of people trying to escape the GDR was in fact illegal even by the laws of the GDR.

Oh please....then why did it happen again and again with the killers getting rewarded? Ever heard of the "Schießbefehl"???

§ 27 des Grenzgesetzes von 1982

The GDR's "shoot-to-kill" order was an order to border guards to use firearms to secure the border and arrest or kill refugees in the event of attempted escape. Officially, the GDR denied the existence of the shoot-to-kill order, but it became a reality through laws (such as the 1982 Border Law), orders, rewards for killed refugees, and ideological influence on soldiers....

[quote....](2) Die Anwendung der Schußwaffe ist gerechtfertigt, um die unmittelbar bevorstehende Ausführung oder die Fortsetzung einer Straftat zu verhindern, die sich den Umständen nach als ein Verbrechen darstellt. Sie ist auch gerechtfertigt zur Ergreifung von Personen, die eines Verbrechens dringend verdächtig sind....[/quote]
Meaning everybody declared an "enemy of the state" by the gov in East-Berlin....it was easy to become a criminal, wanting to leave was already a crime!

Stop the BS, Tacitus! I don't take THAT one lightly... the last victim, Chris Gueffroy was killed near my 'hood....I could practically hear the shots!

The murderer and their superiors and the responsible gov politicians got only problems AFTER they lost....

Look at the wording Tacitus...it sounds so clear and nice and upstanding....could stand like that also in the german Verfassung, right?

How many years would I serve in a German prison for this post?

....I actually had to google that!

Since in the US/ american fora such pics and opinions are not forbidden a German posting them could still be hunted and punished in Germany if he actually acts as a Nazi extremist, fighting against the german gov actively and violently, threatening the german public security and such....

Difficult juristic thing....but I guess most PF-Germans are to old for that ****....

I'd argue there is difference between calling Biermann or Höcke a fascist.

Of course calling something/somebody as one likes won't help, Tac.....the GDR was also not democratic, and the opposition no western paid-Nazis....no matter the calling from above.

And I don't understand why some people fall for this narrative of the AfD, when the parallels to 1933 are also much more obvious.

That's the thing....for me its the other way around....and I guess thats so for many still-living Ossis....after all the Nazis are all dead now, but many former SED'ler and their victims are still between the living.

That explains to me also the sympathy many Ossis have for the AfD nowadays....for them it's more like the former opposition and the actual Berliner gov (no matter the coalition colours) is again the enemy!
All the name calling and Verbot-threats from the mainstream are for them just not new, rather creepily familiar!

...a popular democratic revolution against a corrupt and failing dictatorship that kept its' people imprisoned...

NOW you call it that! But back then it was of course the other way around with the opposition the big bad devil which wants to destroy everything the good people worked so hard for...

(even today many german Lefties look back with sympathy and sadness...grieving the loss of the GDR....Reichinnek even wants to repeat it!)

whereas the GDR persecuted people even in direct violation of its' own laws, it is certainly too early to say that.

Tacitus...in the GDR it was lawful to murder people who only wanted to leave...to shoot them in the back....that was totally lawful and supported by the gov and the media...it was for a good cause after all!

The GDR collapsed not because it persecuted the opposition, but because it was a failing system

....of course....in the past good years of Germany there was no AfD and the extremists were in the one-digit-percentage after elections.

A failing state and a rising opposition belong together. Thing is what to change and fight? The failing state or the opposition?

By political standards, that is no time at all.

....hence their fast and enormous rising is a clear sign! It seems people have only waited for her.....

this will remain impossible.

....I guess it will start in Sachsen-Anhalt with a coalition with the BSW.....

.....experience of an Ossi who was socialized in these Wende-Times....

I dunno about you, but I remember the gov calling the opposition Nazis too...opposition parties were of course "verboten", so was to listen to the "wrong" media....politicial education was a big part in the school curriculum...clear one-sided messages daily in "Aktuelle Kamera" and the "Neues Deutschland"....no talking with/demonisatzion of other opinions till up to Berufsverbote/jailing/expulsion....and of course it was a good fight for a good cause, the best cause at all, the "DEMOCRATIC" socialism needed to be rescued from its many (often foreign paid) enemies!!!

Sounds familiar?

Most things of what many Westerner now ask for in their fight against the AfD the GDR had already implemented against the opposition...for years....thing is, it didn't work....not in the long run!

And yet, people got even more disgruntled, disappointed, even hostile....their number grew and grew....in the end only the army could have kept Honecker and Co. in power....

Lesson?

The new AfD super star!

Led the AfD in Sachsen-Anhalt to now shocking 39% (leaving all other parties behind for the first time)

Young and charismatic (surely healthy/non-suicidal with big plans)....I'm watching him, should something/anything happen to him too before the election in one year, then we know.....

I see an adult version

...not only adult but also high tech!

These groups owning the high tech to make survival possible and maybe even comfortable will be the new rulers....and they will know how to shut themselves off from the rest...a wall will be the easiest thing to be build first!

Most humans are conformist and do what they're told,.

Within their pack...their group....their nation, yes!

In a nation state without a common nation, only rivaling groups....conforming to what? A leader they no longer accept/listening to because he/she is not one of "them"???

That won't happen.

Why are you so sure?

....and?

What do you think will happen? Back to tribalism (as is my guess)? Or the building of the "Festung Europa", an impenetrable wall around our outer borders?

...do you think that the millions of "natives" will just accept everything/everybody coming? What is your best guess?

Life / Do colored immigrants in Poland function better than in Western countries? [291]

the only question is whether societies respond well or badly.

Our societies, depending on a common nation with a common identity, a nation state and its symbols, won't survive that....you can see the thing cracking already when you watch the news.

Ironic that especially the internationalist Left will be the most to suffer from the end of the age of the nations....because they absolutely needs its rules and workings! They will hardly survive in a tribal world...even when they got what they wanted, no real borders anymore.

In a future world with huge migration movements across the globe it will be back to tribalism....whites, browns, blacks, christians, muslims, european, africans, asians....whatever groups will find themselves and build on each other, with each other...against the other, any other!

Yes, migrational movements have existed since the beginning of mankind, but tribes have too....most people forget that important part, and won't see what will come after a nation state has no real nation anymore...only masses of disagreeing people who give a *** about said nation but only care anymore about their "own"!

Wasn't it the same in East Germany?

Without the resistance (and some help from Gorbatschow) the wall would still stay (and the Wessi-Lefties be still happy)....

The inner civil opposition in these jailed countries had the biggest part of the Commie's losing the Cold War, the "war of the systems", even more than the western weapons and their democratic capitalism!

Much easier said than done,

But at least a tiny life sign....something...anything.....who else should fight for their freedom???

The poor and oppressed masses can't all leave for the West....the world doesn't work like that!

Also doch!

Washington Post reveals explosive report:

Trump's "GREAT" plan for Gaza

bild.de/politik/ausland-und-internationales/brisanter-bericht-enthuellt-das-ist-trumps-great-plan-fuer-gaza-68b53ca25d3e123a945b2046

Washington - Is this the future of Gaza? After US President Donald Trump (79) mooted a "Riviera" for the Palestinian Territory months ago and said that the US could "take over" the enclave, the plans now appear to be clearly taking shape.

BILD has obtained a 38-page document from the Trump administration containing plans for industry, infrastructure, and smart, planned cities with skyscrapers. The Washington Post also reported earlier. It is unclear how deeply Trump is involved in individual details.

The "GREAT" plan ("Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation") envisions Gaza under US trusteeship for at least ten years, "until a reformed and de-radicalized Palestinian authority is ready to take its place."

The area is to be transformed into a tourism and high-tech hub. The two million residents would temporarily emigrate "voluntarily" or move to secure zones.

This is what Trump's "GREAT" plan for Gaza says.

▶︎ No US government funding: The plan would be financed through investments from the private sector and "Arab and other countries," organized as a "multilateral institution."....

.....at least someone (beside Hamas) has a plan....could really get interesting!

...▶︎ Compensation for Palestinians: Property owners are to receive "digital tokens" for redevelopment or housing in new "AI-powered cities." Those who leave will receive $5,000 plus subsidies for rent and food - for up to four years.

▶︎ Administration and security: Israel would transfer powers to the "GREAT" trust, but retain "overriding rights to safeguard its security needs" for the first year. After that, there would be a transition to "local police forces."

A controversial detail: Western companies are explicitly named as partners and investors on several pages of the plan. This includes Ikea on page 21.

In response to a BILD inquiry, Ikea Germany stated: "This information is new and unexpected for us. Inter IKEA Systems B.V., as the global IKEA franchisor and owner of the IKEA brands, is not aware of this initiative and can confirm that we have not authorized the use of the IKEA logo in this context."


Megaprojects of the "GREAT" Plan

The "GREAT" Plan encompasses several major projects designed to transform Gaza into a thriving, green city of the future.

▶︎ Roads (and trams): Construction of a ring road, the "MBS Highway" - named after the Saudi Crown Prince, who is expected to donate a lot of money - as well as a tram and a north-south highway.

▶︎ A new port and airport would be built in the far south, with direct land connections to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.

The large-scale projects are intended to provide Gaza with infrastructure, industry, and quality of life, among other things.

▶︎ Supply: A water desalination plant and a solar field on Egypt's Sinai Peninsula are intended to supply Gaza with water and electricity.

▶︎ "Smart Industry": A megaproject is to be built on Israel's border, featuring an "Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone," American electric car companies, and regional data centers to supply Israel and the Gulf states.

▶︎ Riviera: Trump's prestige project, the "Gaza-Trump Riviera," with beach resorts and artificial islands modeled on Dubai, is to be built on the western shore of the enclave.

▶︎ Large residential complexes: Buildings of up to 20 stories in six to eight "AI-powered cities" are intended to accommodate millions of Palestinians.

Why the hell not?

What a dreadful leader..

Sometimes I get very angry but then....remember....she is an Ossi! She had no idea about West-Germany, its long grown political culture...the CDU was for her not so much different as the SPD or FDP back then...no bondings to the values, the history or the former leader at all...West-Germany was a foreign country for Ossis!

Maybe one shouldn't blame her to much, she led as she understood it, more from the gut than from the brain, with not enough schooled knowledge about a capitalist economy or a long standing democratic society...not so much like a common conservative leader should....but how could she? She just hadn't been born and bred into the same circles...

Maybe the real ones to blame here are the Wessis in the CDU, the party-politicians who nodded to everything, supported every crap she did or didn't do just because it got them and later kept them the power, the influence in Berlin...and not at least the money!

They surely knew better....and together they changed the former conservative CDU into a strange party, something the german lefties praised and cheered for.... but left millions of real conservative Germans politically homeless...but hey, whenever have non-voter really disturbed anyone in elections, right?

....but then came the AfD and offered a real alternative for them...and whooopsie!

And she was right

Alien, even the most left-leaning media doubts that very much today.....as their life was so much easier before, without a rising AfD.

Probably the only one (beside you) who still stubbornly insists it was the right thing to do, is Merkel herself! 😕

PS: The next group of Afghans gets flown in today....and oh wonder, no cheering masses for them....no thrown teddy bears anywhere...one wonders what happened!

To make Germany then look bad or Germany today look good.

....I guess this!

But usually many make also the distinction of "Soviet Russia"....and in Germany it is today often also "Putin's Russia....but you are right, it's rarely "Truman's US/America" and never "the Democrats"!

Didn't you hear? In the CDU the mood is ****, denying Israel the military support is nothing short of a betrayal!

IMHO the conflict about the true conservatives and the Merkelists is coming to the forefront soon....I think that Merz has made one compromise for the SPD to much, that could have been the one step to the left to far!

People have voted for a change to the right, but they get the same leftist politics like before....and hence the AfD is gaining!

100 days Chancellor

The impression is growing that Merz cannot

Following Friday's Israel decision, a number of members of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group are expressing unusually strong criticism. Even more explosive for the Chancellor: the CSU is distancing itself. Foreign policy successes are being pushed into the background....

Wow!

Poll shock for the CDU-SPD coalition on its 100-day anniversary!

According to a Forsa survey for RTL and N-TV, the CDU/CSU and SPD have plummeted to a combined 37 percent. The AfD, on the other hand, is gaining ground and would now be the strongest party with 26 percent. This puts it ahead of the CDU/CSU, which has plummeted to 24 percent.

bild.de/politik/inland/umfrage-schock-merz-zustimmungswerte-stuerzen-ab-689b1abaeb14e20ada75a882

The first time the AfD is the strongest party, has overtaken even the CDU!

After the polls she is moving now to the 30%....a somewhat magical number....that would mean a third of the populace, every third one...(at least in polls)....

But Merz becomes such a disappointment for all conservatives...especially his betrayal of Israel, it could cost him his head!
