  • For those not on the know, here is some more context:

    Angela Merkel was a very prominent figure in german politics, commonly known as “Mutti Merkel” (Mommy Merkel).

    A lot of people do look back on her cancelor period quite fondly and her criticism of Merz collaborating with modern Nazis (AfD) does carry some weight. Merz burned a lot of political capital with his little stunt, demonstrated by one of the most popular CDU politicians turning against him.

    The AfD is also not as popular here as some might think when looking from the outside in and efforts to ban them are underway, they are already classified in parts as an extremist group.

    Source: I lived trough the time period when she was chancelor in Germany and know how people talked about her years later. Take it with a grain of salt, this is a more personal perspective

    They no longer calling? Shame

    Sorry but if one side has actual facts and the other a bunch of lies and racism, cultur war is not a productive use of resources on a planet that is burning.

    The inability of conservative minds to stop hating good things is not aspirational and you calling it such makes you complicit in their goal of destroying humanity.

    Go home. If you still have one worth going back to








  • Some context from someone who lives in germany:

    VW has for quite a while now failed to read the writing on the wall and join in on the growing market for electronic cars. All the while getting subsidies from the german government.

    Now they cant compete anymore and even their regular cars are way to expensive for a lot of germans to buy. And the chinese manufacturers are pushing them even further out of a market they failed to enter by refusing to innovate years ago.

    A lot of this reads over here like hostage taking: They want more subsidies for their failing company model, or they leave the country.


  • I just read the comment section on this very much christian-oriented article.Pretty fun to see these some smoothbrains squirm while getting beaten at their own game.

    At least until you realize that these “pro-lifers” will just let you die for their own satisfaction and are, by all accounts, the enemy of every single women on the planet.







  • I work in IT, there the situation for corpos who want to force RTO is just a nightmare.

    There are a bunch of companies waiting with open arms and better contracts to gather these disgruntled workes with knowledge in the industry. So not only do you loose a lot, your competition grows stronger at the same time.

    On top of that, if you dont need to rent a huge building at high price, massively cutting costs on overhead an maintenance.

    And once the bleeding starts its hard to stop: Others need to pick up more work, get pissed and then also leave for greener pastures.

    All because you are stuck in the past.
