The left in Germany, and every where else they are the dominant party, are waging a war against sensibility. It sure seems like mental illness.
Flooding your country with middle easterners who have a 6th century mindset and want to conquer you is not a good game plan, Germany.
Angela Merkel was able to conquer Europe without firing a shot. The big question is WHY she sponsored such a a devastating enterprise, and for whom.
for example, relying on solar power in a country where the sun rarely shines.....yeesh
Just astounding. Sending copies to my family that lived in Germany for years. Musk does it again.
All the actors playing the Germans were Jewish.
I don't think anyone else could have gotten away with making the members of a murderous regime appear to be such buffoons.
Today, in a perverse irony, it is the ‘liberal’ left that is the most antisemitic, the most vitriolic, and the least tolerant
...and in my opinion, the same liberal left under Adolph, were the most anti-Semitic, vitriolic, and least tolerant.
IOW does the author have a clue who the National Socialists were in the 30’s and 40’s?
I’ve been to Germany twice and frankly I’m not sure it can be made OK again. I’m not sure it ever was OK. 😉
Is this because you don’t like Germans or because the downtowns of Germany have become like the downtowns of most american cities or London.
As free citizens we believe in direct democracy, the separation of powers, the rule of law, social market economics, subsidiarity, federalism, family values, and German cultural heritage, as democracy and freedom are vested in our cultural values and historical tradition. The recollection of the two revolutions of 1848 and 1989 drive our civil protest and the determination to complete our national unity in freedom, and create a Europe of sovereign and democratic nation states, united in peace, self-determination and good-neighborliness.The AfD are also on the left. And no, Germany has not changed for the better at all; their flip-flops with respect to the USA and Israel reflect that.
— AfD party platform, preamble
Minimum wages and the social market economy are closely connected. Minimum wages adjust the remunerative position of low-income workers as weak market players with respect to the interests of employers as strong market players. They also safeguard low-income workers against wage pressure caused by recent mass-immigration. Minimum wages enable an existence above the poverty line, and at least guarantee a humble pension, which otherwise would have to be paid for by society in the form of state support. Minimum wages thus prevent the privatization of profits while costs are socialized. It is for this reason that the AfD supports the retention of minimum wages.

Go to Germany and then come back and tell me your take on it. 😉
I have been. Last time was 10 years ago. There is a huge divide between country/small town and big city. Small towns were insular but tolerant of strangers. (I am of German extraction so I didn’t stick out as long as I kept my mouth shut.) In this they are like Pennsylvania small towns that have not been over run by foreigners. Big cities in Germany are now no longer German in the way London is no longer English.
Since my last visit was 10 years ago—I can bet the divide between country/small town on the one hand and the big city is even greater than it was 10 years ago—as it is in England and the USA.
The Germans these days are a severely abused people —as are the English. They are abused by foreigners their liberal elites have let into the country. And they are abused by their liberal elites policies. Just as people in blue states in the USA are abused by liberal policies—and abused by foreigners the elites have let into the country.
I can guess that if you’re an American but, say, of Jewish extraction, you’ll feel the bad vibes in German downtowns that come from Muslim hatred for Jews. If you go to German small towns—you may well feel the bad vibes from the local resentment for all things foreign—or you may not be able to tell where your own resentment ends and German resentment begins. Nor well understand either one because they are so impersonal and structural.
I was last there in 1995. I found the city dwellers to be angry and repressed. The food sucked, the dangers would throw your plate down and you couldn’t get a decent wine. In the small towns the people were friendlier, the food sucked and you couldn’t get a decent wine. 😉
True story. My BIL who was stationed with the state dept in Frankfurt and I went into Aldis to grocery shop. Nobody was talking everyone was totally silent. At one point some poor woman had her cart in the way of a man and he never said a word but just erupted and smashed his cart into hers pushing it out of the way and he traveled on down the aisle. The lady never said a word and just moved on. My BIL looked at me and said “welcome to Germany”.
Then we go to the check out line and we’re waiting our turn. Its obvious the check out girl is having problems with her machine. Again its totally quiet in the line. As we get closer my BIL says “ watch she’s getting ready to blow”. Sure enough a minute later this girl who has never said a word erupts and starts smashing her checkout machine with her fist. Everyone just stands there while she obliterated this adding machine. It was one of the most bizarre grocery events ever. We still laugh about occasionally.
Then we left and went to France where people were friendly, the food was great and so was the wine. 😉
agree the food is bland and you don’t go to germany for the wine. (beer maybe.)
I was in Germany just before the big invasions of syrians and other mideasterners.
When I was young in the 1950’s and 60’s my dad was stationed in Germany. A much different world then.
My experience was different. I was in Germany from 95 - about 2003. I got away from the bases and learned as much of the language as I could. I also spent a lot of time with Yugoslav and Hungarian refugees.
Not our problem.
We need to pull out of NATO.
Eventually, we may have to deal with the Islamist UK with nuclear weapons.

Think about what you have just said man.
In line one you say “Not our problem.”
In line 3 you speculate that indeed it may be our problem —but you’re happy to wait until the problem is existential. “Eventually, we may have to deal with the Islamist UK with nuclear weapons.”
Wouldn’t it be better to deal with problem while its still relatively small. And not wait until our best ally becomes our worst enemy.
My point is not that we should stay in Nato. Rather my point is that we should enact the kind of policies that will better enable the english to be english and the germans to be germans. specifically that both country commence massive deportation policies —as is happening now in the USA.
