"The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, has courted growing anti-immigrant opinion in Germany by claiming the country's attempts to create a multicultural society have "utterly failed".

Speaking to a meeting of young members of her Christian Democratic Union party, Merkel said the idea of people from different cultural backgrounds living happily "side by side" did not work."


This was in 2010. Why did she pretend it was different last year ??

leftists agitate for change then totally lose control of what exactly the change will be and after it turns out to be something they didn't want they make passive aggressive posts about it on twitter

because she's a politician and one of the specific breed of politician that lacks any kind of actual ideology but really, really wants to be the leader

she said that because she thought it was what people wanted to hear and whatever she's saying now is whatever she thinks people want to hear, and she hopes that nobody will actually remember or care that it's not the same thing she said before

you find them everywhere and counterintuitively this new era of everything everyone says being recorded and permanently available for review seems to doing really well for them

I guess it's because in this era everyone will eventually be caught saying something stupid or contradicting things they said earlier and while other politicians will rationalize or attempt to explain what they said, and sound stupid doing it, this kind instead just steadfastly pretends that they never said it and totally ignores and refuses to engage any attempt to call them out on it

it's hilarious that people are going to leavers and saying i told you so about the economy when it's abundantly clear that none of them gave a poo poo about it at all and the leave campaign's bit on the economy boiled down "it'll probably be fine, who cares"

like they're still going to be banging on about "no look at these stock prices and the currency exchange, don't you feel bad" even when Nigel Farage's first act as PM is to defund the NHS and use the money to erect a giant billboard saying "gently caress you" in all the EU languages and point it at brussels

this made me google things which turned up this

quote:


In the fall of 1968, Kissinger, then a key adviser to President Lyndon Johnson’s Vietnam peace talks, informed candidate Richard Nixon that a truce between the U.S.-backed South Vietnamese government and communist North Vietnam was near. Afraid that a breakthrough in the talks would harm Nixon’s political prospects against Democratic nominee Hubert Humphrey, Nixon’s campaign had Anna Chennault, a Nixon liaison to South Vietnam, advise South Vietnam’s government that it would get better terms if it waited on a deal until Nixon was elected. The South Vietnam government obediently backed away from the talks. Nixon was elected soon thereafter and the war continued for four more years.
