That's how today's males think. Quite pathetic when u think bout it. How did we went from hard working family men to today's men. Baffling.

Pretty much, yes. And that was just about the best we could hope for, as sad as it is. A critical mass of Germans still haven't suffered enough to make the jump and genuinely ditch the old, failed status quo.





What are you referring to, specifically? Nobody with an IQ above 70 ever believed his grandiose campaign rhetoric about "closing the border on day one", particularly not when he de facto limited his coalition options to one of the two pro-migration lefty parties before the election had even taken place. Also, it's painfully obvious that Merz, in his heart of hearts, is a neoliberal corporate shill and only cared about migration to the extent that it bothers a lot of his own base voters and fuels the opposition to his right.

He nonetheless played up this issue because talking about migration was a wash for him, and thus still better than talking about his deeply neoliberal economic and welfare policies. Him, and the CDU in general, are still traumatized by the 2005 election, when Merkel wholeheartedly embraced neoliberal economic reforms and almost lost a race she was supposed to win in a landslide.


At the end of the day, Merz was a shitty candidate who ran a subpar campaign, underperformed his polls significantly and got a very disappointing result. In fact, it was the second-worst result in CDU history, barely improving over an abysmal showing in 2021 - and that's in spite of the outgoing government having a disastrous track record and approval ratings. The parties of the "traffic light coalition" combined for less than 33% of the vote this time around, they stood at over 50% in 2021 - yet Merz and his CDU only gained 4.4%; the bulk of the unsatisfied voters went with the populist right AfD or the populist left Die Linke ("The Left").

Likewise, I am sure that Merz will make for a shitty chancellor - and still be a meaningful upgrade over his predecessor. God, sometimes I hate my country...

If Nazis don't want to be called Nazis, does that mean that even Nazis know that Nazis are shit?

By all means, keep calling people who aren't nazis nazis

You are right.
That makes no sense and is just as wrong as the claim that Hitler was right-wing.
Of course he was clearly a communist.

You're snarky but it's in your own best interest to figure out what actually nazis believe in comparison to these general run of the mill conservatives or libertarians (hint: nazi stands for national socialist)

Nope it means you're accusing people who aren't Nazis of being Nazis.
Actual Nazis really, really want to be called Nazis. They want you to know they are Nazis, they want to make it blatant and undeniable. They tattoo Nazi symbols on themselves, they proudly cite Nazi works in their CV, they post videos of themselves saying Heil Hitler, they worship at little Nazi shrines. Some of them even group up and pass out Nazi literature, they'll be unironically passing out copies of Mein Kampf and Protocols of the Elders of Zion to passerby on the street. I've said for a long time that cryptonazi hunting is so utterly insane when actual Nazis have swastikas on their foreheads.

To give an example, the guy who just got a standing ovation in Danish parliament a few days ago puts Mein Kampf, National Socialism/White Power in his VK profile and belonged to the Misanthropic Brigade of Azov, the most hardcore subgroup of Nazis who go around wearing 1488/SS/Luftwaffe/black sun badges and seem to have a friendly competition to see just how many Nazi tattoos they can fit on their bodies, like the guy on the right.



Now for some reason I can't put my finger on, this was not controversial in Denmark. In fact its not even a news story. It was a nice juicy standing ovation for a Nazi. In fact, one who was arrested by Russia as a war criminal in Mariupol and put on trial for executing three civilians in two incidents and sentenced to 29 years in prison before being released in that swap.
