  • Welcome to the German gerontocracy. The obsolute majority gives a fuck about anything other than living their remaining years as well as possible, conservative politicians have completely abondoned actual topics, positions and discussions for the most rediculous culture war bullshit imaginable and the media is parroting their narratives 24/7.

    Any actual progress is drowned in propaganda to reverse its effect (for example the law change to reduce co2 in the heating sector managed -after months of lies and desinformation- to create a massive boom in gas-heating instead).

    And just yesterday the CDU in opposition (and biggest party by polls) demanded to revert the EU’s ban on combustion engines (that doesn’t exist in the first place but is just a conclusion following co2 reduction goals) and other climate goals (including those implmentd by them years ago) because we can’t strain German people and the economy with “EV madness”…


  • Dir ist doch nicht etwa aufgefallen, dass die von der FDP öffentlich gelobte “Technologieoffenheit” schon im Erstentwurf enthalten war und sie das trotzdem nicht abhalten konnte, das Gesetz noch 3-4 mal zu blockieren um das, was bereits drin stand, nochmal zu fordern? Wie konnte das bloß passieren, wo es doch so subtil war, dass es professionelle Journalisten scheinbar nicht bemerkt haben?




  • Behind closed doors in the actual workings of the EU things are different.

    But there is an universal law that you can always dress unpopular but neccessary EU decisions or compromises as “Germany made us do it” at home and can always get bonus points if you tell the story how you bravely fought Germany to push through a popular EU decision.

    Basically the same propaganda for domestic a audience in slightly modified form that Orban has made an art form in Hungary.





  • Germany actually has a stricter domestic law already than what the EU is doing here.

    But reality of course never matters. As long as Europeans can tell themselves the fairy tale of how they successfully fought those bad Germans for every slightly positive achievement, they are happy. Even if it’s actually too little or meaningless or just virtue-signaling. Or several of those things combined…
