Still no idea what the Bauerproteste are about. Every interview is just the same empty rambling about the Regierung needing to talk with the Bauer not about the Bauer. Every YouTube comment is some batshit insane variation of Merkel muss weg, Bauer are the only real Germans left, starve the lazy Green cities to death, etc. If there is a point to the protests, they are really bad at bringing it across.

I guess it's about having to lower nitratwerte and one half of them complains about the nitratwerte being made up by fake new and, the other half complains that they can't turn a profit with their inefficient family farm if they actually have to follow laws and not poison the ground water? How close am I?

1) Bauern are kleinkonservative Handlanger der Reaktion all of whose specific positions derive from their ultimate goals of being in Ruhe gelassen forever and not having to change.

2) Bauer sein isn't just a job, it's ~a way of life~, according to Bauern

It is evil how the politicians are forcing the poor farmers to have to stop using quality fertilizer, forcing them to only use regular fertilizer that has much lower chance of yielding gold star crops. That together with criticisms on filling the animal barns full of kegs for making ancient fruit wine, reducing the space animals have inside, shows the big city folks do not care at all if the last upgrades from Joja Mart get purchased.

I actually and honestly believed that at this point Bauernproteste are just a thing that happens because Bauern consider themselves a specific and almost homogeneous group of people that deserve special treatment and are permanently unhappy with the special treatment they already receive, resulting in them protesting against whatever just because.

It's about a world that's leaving them behind. Urbanization and tech progress are continuing and you're sitting in Postopfen, MeckPomm and watching pigs gently caress. Used to be that you'd have leverage with your local CSU or whatever but even that's been fading and the young people are all eating Mexican Chia and making GBS threads on you for killing the bees.

I don't want to be a dick. I'm sure there are a lot of cool Bauer and a lot of genuinely tragic cases but my general understanding of the situation is that due to state intervention/"handouts" there are massive overcapacities in agriculture and pig/chicken/cow factories and these overcapacities mixed with neo-liberal reforms have created disgusting and destructive practices that need to go and I didn't cry about the local Bäckers, Schuhmacher or plague doctor closing down so it would be inconsistent to cry about Bauer going out of business now.

The "accidental" part was me having had three Kloster Scheyern Export before ordering, thus probably putting the purchase on shaky legal footing. But it was all stuff I had planned to buy earlier this year and then passed on.
Okay, the 30W Heizmatte for my Anzuchthaus was an impulse-purchase, not even going to pretend here.

None of the stuff was in the Black Friday promotions, but I ended up "saving" about 40 bucks on the 133 Euroubles order. Quotation marks because lol @ the majority of the Black Friday promotions and their pricing.

I got two extra Anzuchtlampen at 40W each, two Fassungen with 3,5m Kabel to be able to hang them from the ceiling above my Fensterbank, the above-mentioned Heizmatte for a hands-off approach for my early Keimlinge, 50 Kokos-Quelltabs, and a liter of fertilizer tailored to capsicum annuum.
From https://www.pepperworldhotshop.com I ordered my new seeds, and then - bizarrely enough and entirely by chance - I ran into their Stand at the Food & Life messe in München today.

And that "entirely by chance" is not an exaggeration. A colleague from work hat free tickets for the "Heim & Handwerkmesse", so we decided to go, spent about 15 minutes there because it was boring as all hell, and then peaced out to the Fressen-Messe in the two Hallen next door. There, we proceeded to shovel obscene amounts of Probierhappen from all the cheese and Trockenfleisch stands into our face-holes, and suddenly, I spied with my little eye the Pepperworld Stand out of the corner of my eye, and paid them a visit.

The brother of my colleague thought I was putting on a show because he had been told by his brother that I was a "chili wizard", and then I engaged one of the two fine gentlemen at the Stand in a 20 minute in-depth conversation that went so deep into technicalities that he ended up being convinced I wasn't bullshitting. The Stand Vertreter actually was a fan of the "Peach Ghost Scorpion" (lol) strain I bought the night before, and gave me some pointers on how to grow and treat them. Halfway into our discussion, the guy started being honest about the soul-crushing reality of being a tiny onlineshop amidst a shitton of capitalist powerhouses, and was really happy about running into Messebesucher that don't just waltz by, grab a free sample, bag a flyer and then peace out.

I took along three of their chili sauces for a steal (A STEAL, I TELL YOU) of 17 Euros, wished them well, and then we continued on to a place where we got our names 3D printed in loving chocolate, because it's 2019, and of course we did.

Back in 2016 or so, when he was still Minister of Finance in NRW, he had a form letter attached to every income tax assessment. In it, he thanked you for the [amount] assessed as your income tax, described what it could theoretically fund and how that might sound high, but you should just accept it.

One month later, I got a second income tax assessment, in which they agreed that they illegally assessed my income tax too high by about €3,000. Oddly enough, no letter of Walter Borjans was attached.

So this is my Walter Borjans story. After the SPD didn't manage to kill me off with their "No food for the unemployed" policy, they tried to con me into paying thousands of euros in tax that I didn't own and tried to cover it up with a letter.

SPD delenda est. :colbert:

Ah yes, the noble GroKo which would be so much better if not for the ~German Wählerschaft~ as a whole.

Stop trying to fool yourself. If you're still in the SPD after Schröder, Steinmeier, Sarrazin, Gabriel, Heil et al, you're in the SPD because you're a right-wing piece of poo poo, who wants to hurt poor people and foreigners.

AFAIK they are also the only party with any kind of plan on fighting rising income inequality and child poverty. They give no poo poo about climate change but, let's be honest here, it's not like there is anything to expect from Groko or Grüne either on that issue so das gibt sich alles nichts.

Linke are also in fact the best climate party because of their anti-capitalist (and anti-growth) policies. Parties who support capitalism (and view economic growth as a goal) and the climate at the same time are charlatans and don't actually care seriously care about climate.

Linke are a mixture of the Left Wing of the SPD (in case you were wondering why the SPD doesn't have one anymore) and SEDler in a new mask, though they'll be hopefully die out over time.

Still, they're kind of a mixed thing. From my view point basically the leftist mirror of the AfD, if it weren't for the genuine idealists for a better world diluting the evil in the party. In contrast, the AfD is filled with Hitlerians trying to invade Earth They Live! style, so please never vote for them, not even if you're an accelerationist.

Anyway, either vote Grüne (except for Baden Würtemberg, I think that's the place Crazy Guy McFuckerson is coming from. You know who I mean.) or Linke. Voting for SPD is like voting for the CDU, Linker Flügel Version, CDU is CDU and voting AfD would summon Hitler 4.0 back from Nazi Hell, so that's straight out.

If you somehow can't stand Grüne nor Linke, consider voting for Die Partei, this way at least someone can laugh about your funny voting hijinx, instead of wishing your death. That's always a downer

Or Die Tierschutzpartei. Then you can feel better about yourself while throwing your vote into the toilet and flushing!

2. Ban everybody from south of the Weißwurstäquator of every participating in Federal politics.
3. Disallow political parties from holding shares in newspapers and broadcasters.

Linke is fine for internal matters but utopic for everything regarding foreign policy.
No wars ever is a nice goal but no oversea development regardless of nature is dumb.
Relationship with Russia does not need to be improved as Russia is the one constantly making it worse and every inch given will be used against us. With recent laws regarding the internet in Russia it's probably going to get a lot worse as well.

As for SPD being more left than greens, and jusos especially so - well duh.
That said, it really depends where the local Ortsverein is on the schizophrenic SPD scale that goes from "basically CDU separatists" to "Didn't leave for the Linke, yet"
Here the SPD tends to vote with the CDU while Greens tend to vote with the Linke. YMMV

The state greens are way too black, though I personally believe, and are probably wrong about it, that regardless of policies the fact that the greens took over government from the CDU ist still a good thing and maybe made them more viable to people throughout the country.

Honestly it depends.

Giving weapons and training to the YPG, good.
Guarding turkey with Patriot rocket, unnecessary and bad.
Supporting nato partners on their soil so we can pretend to do something, net gain. Well most of the time as seen above.
Training security forces in irak seems to have been not so good, I think? I'm not well informed who's currently shooting up civilian protests.
Training missions in Afghanistan probably good, the rest is not and should have probably ended more than a decade ago.
UN missions are generally good, no?
Überfall auf Polen? Generally not well regarded. Well, outside "some" parts of the Bundeswehr.
