But the degree varies. Yesterday, the new nsdap got elected as second strongest party in the federal state hessen. One of their leaders literally said to warm up the gas chambers again.
I think we really need the US to intervene sooner rather than later. Otherwise we’re definitely getting nuked at some point.
Germany is fully embracing fascism again at this point.
The US won't help; we're run by radicalized fascists also.
My wife and I made a deal yesterday night, after the votes came in. If the nazis get a seat on a national level, we‘re leaving to the nordic countries. We‘ll both be fucked because the light there isn’t great and we have issues with depression anyway but it’s better than the fucking gas chamber.
Yeah, we Germans don't realize yet how close we are again. It sure feels like the last days of the Weimar republic sometimes. Mostly because our "normal" politicians fail horribly.
I completely agree. But I would go even farther. We have misunderstood and corrupted democracy to a popularity contest. I
t is legal to infinitely increase politicians salaries, to accept donations from lobbyist groups, to work into their own pocket. We pretty much legalized corruption.
Now the politicians are so out of touch that they don’t see how their country is eroding under them. The streets have holes, there is garbage on the back alleys but not on the main streets. All so it doesn’t look bad when you drive through but shit if you live there.
Even our former health minister, albeit relatively fast in his reaction, made himself and his husband rich with mask deals. He should definitely go to jail for that.
Hah! You wish.
Currently, they'd ~~join in with the nsdap~~ sell fuel and maintenances for the gas chambers.
