wait, are the greens proposing that? i thought the idea was to replace nuclear with renewables like solar and wind. coal is obviously way worse than nuclear.

Wind and solar are intermittent energy sources and therefore unusable to provide reliable power. It's very nature requires conventional back up power plants to not destroy the power grid. Never mind the problems you have trying to build power lines to get the generated wind power from the North and Baltic Seas to where it is needed in Bavaria.

So what do you think of my proposal?

We won't agree.
I'd allow immigration only for fellow Europeans and instead of that ridiculous basic income stuff nobody ever figured out how to finance, a negative income tax.

Not made easier by Bavarian NIMBYism preventing building the power lines necessary for that.

Somebody recommend me a party to vote for at the next election, here are my criteria:
- must be pro nuclear
- must be in favor of immigration for literally everyone who's cool with gays and women
- must be pro Bürgergeld/basic income/whatever

That's it, I have no other criteria.

I don't think there's a single party in Europe that fits your criteria. "Pro nuclear" excludes all green parties and the "no Muslims", because that's what your second criteria basically says unless you want to introduce some kind of "Gesinnungstest", excludes the left, which is the only place you will find someone in favor of basic income.

Basically the FDP, just that the basic income is probably to low for your taste.

I hope the immigration clause also excludes all the right wing parties because I literally want every individual who'd be willing to shake hands with a gay guy and a woman to be able to enter and work in the country, I don't even care.

That guy (the Offizieller schwuler Händeschüttler", OschwHä) is hopefully gonna shake a lot of hands.

To be honest I don't know enough or truly care about the specifics right now, I just want a basic social net with dignity.

They don't say "we want more coal". They say "we want less nuclear" and then pat their backs while the SPD and CDU build more coal.

Like, this point can hardly be stressed enough - I guess the Greens are basically a decent party for the environment when not looking at the climate, but their policies regarding climate change/energy have now for at least a decade been nothing but destructively ignorant. There are zero interpretations of Green policy where what they've been doing does not inevitably to a worse carbon footprint of Germany. And the more they'd implement their policies, the worse it'd get.

I feel like there's something wrong with equating "for clean energy" and "anti-climate", I just can't put any of my 28 glowing fingers on it

The greens have occasionally have their heart in the right place and advocate for things like conservation and clean energy. Then they find the most boneheaded backwards way to go about it that takes us one step forward and two steps back and congratulate themselves on a job well done, defeating the whole point of their existence.

See: renewable energy, conservation with a fuckton of tiny nature reserves (most of which are totally nonviable) and a fuckload of organic farms (which are not a comprehensive answer to making farming more sustainable and in many cases can be a downright bad idea).

Yeah. gently caress the Greens and their organic bio neoliberalism. Economics wise it's basically the same poo poo the CDU or SPD are doing. See Agenda 2010 and Riesterrente.

(Hamburger Wespen, 1864. Mecklenburg had banned corporal punishment in 1802, but then reintroduced it in 1852. In the 1860s there was some debate to "improve" the punishment. For some good :iceburn:s on how much of a backwater Mecklenburg was back then, read thas article from the same year)

Yeah, I'm sure the other guys also have similar great excuses to yours and can't be bothered to check their autocorrected writings either. You made a mistake while making a post about other people always making mistakes, just own up to it.

Today an Austrian co-worker flipped his poo poo because he had seen a cooking show on the weekend where they put sauce on a breaded schnitzel. He shouted at me and the other German in the room how crazy our people are. It was really entertaining. I think it also speaks a lot about Austrian-German relationships in general.
