They didn‘t try despite the awful stuff she propagated and that‘s what they should be measured by. „But it probably would have failed“ is such a lazy excuse to not even try something so necessary.

What fine? I thought this new law allows it. Or is it one of those instances where training your AI on copyrighted material and distributing it is fine but actually sourcing it isn‘t so you can‘t legally create a model but also nobody can do anything if you have and use it? That sounds legally very messy.

Sorry Bill but it’s too late and not enough. I still want to eat the rich and that includes you.

Although I‘ll admit if all billionaires did this instead of - oh you know - investing in fascism and actively dismembering democracy globally I might feel different about this. But as things stand I am done with billionaires. We cannot coexist. Simple as that.

He‘s not only embarrassingly incompetent as a leader, his party also fails to do the single thing boomers voted them for: Being conservative. They can’t stick to a plan. They‘re unreliable and inconsistent. It‘s a horror show for industry and potential investors because there‘s no way of telling if decisions from today are withdrawn tomorrow afternoon.

The Merkel years were wasted for sure but at least you could plan ahead when the government simply didin‘t get things done.

There are plenty handhelds in all shapes and sizes in that price range for exactly this. How many more do we need?

I‘ll still buy their controller because you can‘t sue Chinese companies either so what‘s the difference? However I‘ll use it for PC gaming. No way I‘m going back to their ecosystem. Those days are gone.

Are you implying they‘re welcoming Xi with open arms or what? This has to be the worst comparison you could have come up with.

So this is it? The internet is done and finished. Killed by bots.

Blatant racism and populism aside this puts a huge workload on the police who are criminally overworked already. Watch this joke of a government build a police state next under the claim this will help the police when it fact it puts even more load on it. And then they will start „simplifying“ the law to „solve“ problems they themselves created. What you end up is the worst of both worlds of police control and normalizing cherry picked justice to the point barely anyone even questions when they target specific groups in an effort to actively discriminate. „They can‘t go after everyone“ they will claim when overlooking far right hate crimes.

Well put. Germany is in an embarrassing state.

But it's also worth mentioning this split was made by party members leaving and not Die Linke throwing them out or anything. Wagenknecht would still be a prominent member and likely face of the party today if she did not decide to leave on her own accord. I say this because some people think they're far right extremists or something which is not the case at all. They're authoritarian left because yes, that exists. Extremism is bad in any shape or form. Even when it comes from the left.

Anyone who is mad enough to visit the US for attending a sports game in this day and age almost deserves that treatment. Like, are you ok?

Well I guess now we can say almost certainly that none of them voted for him the second time around either which was predictable.

And secret deals with Merz make the AfD seem reliable, trustworthy and strong, how? If anything that would strengthen the left.

I don‘t have a crystal ball but I don‘t think that will happen because of the chance it could really enable Merz and split the AfD more than it splits the rest. It could show that Merz has the Bundestag under control after all and that‘s the last thing the AfD needs right now.

Fair point. An unpopular FDP politician is probably a lot easer to control than a Merz though. This was definitely a calculated move. Especially since the AfD is very strong in Thuringia anyway. They are a lot weaker in der Bundestag still so they will likely oppose any candidate the CDU brings forward right now.

First AfD is officially acknowledged of being far right extremist now this? Dare I say we‘re on a roll after a really shitty election?

Nah, they hate compromises and voting for anyone who isn’t in their party is by definition a compromise. Also the bigger the shit show the better for them. Actively sabotaging any process always works in their favor. Especially here. Sudden reelections would be the perfect gift to them now to get around a ban of their party and this makes that a little more likely.

Their partnership runs way too deep to back out from now. Not like they trust each other or anything but they‘re already too dependent on each other politically to cut ties at this point. It was a done deal when Putin invaded and it can‘t be undone that easily.

The Berlin wall? Is that the only thing his advisors could come up with? Speaking of walls, how's the Mexican border going? But let's not digress. The AfD have been close to MAGA for a while now with the infamous Musk interview being just one of several escalations. Notice how their allies' motto is "Make America great again". Not Germany. America. They couldn't give less of a damn about Europe and neither does the AfD. They're just autocrats who seek support from other autocrats to dismantle a nation and democracy as usual.
