  • Capitalism is clearly one of the central puzzle pieces of humanity’s downfall.

    If I need to spell it out, growth. Growth is a requirement. And with it everything else has to scale, too.

    And there’s always another ‘solution’ to be sold. Well, let’s get on it then, trying to develop a product to sell solving this crisis.

    The movie ‘don’t look up’ explains this very well, too.

    Then, regarding the far right. Companies thrive on hate. It sells very very well.















  • Fair point.

    My counter is: I don’t think you necessarily do. A historian might have some insight on this.

    I find false hope to be more damaging than not hoping but still trying.

    And as to the why: because there are logical reasons to do so. It’s the right thing. I think we might get into religious understanding here, which is a fascinating thing, you see.


  • Don’t do that, don’t give me hope.

    While this seems like a sarcastic comment and quote we’ve been fooled too many times and lured with false hope and illusions of having an impact while being just held as slaves, more or less.

    Edit: feel free to elaborate on down vote. I am just sick and tired of trying my best for the environment and getting my ass handed to me by mega corporations and additionally being blamed, too.



  • I would say a lot of people in Germany are feeling left out/alone with their problems.

    It’s been like this for at least 10, if not 20 or more years.

    Most stuff is lobby and economy driven and we’re getting nowhere.

    In came the afd offering easy solutions and appealing to the public (never mind their program stating completely otherwise) so I guess it gave people the feeling of someone doing something and caring for them.

    And if not, pissing off the rest of the politicians.

    At least the latter is working.

    I do not support or condone this behaviour but it is not that hard to read.

    And instead of approaching the real current issues (inflation, money issues, buerocracy, environment) directly most parties even try to move further right, to get the afd voters back, which is the worst they could do.
