Einbauschrank posted:Idg the hate. "Wer nicht arbeitet, soll auch nicht essen" is a staple of the left. As is the "Recht auf Arbeit" which was proudly written into the Menschenrechtscharta. It's not even about the BGE in particular, but the messaging as a whole. It's becoming increasingly apparent that the traditional idea of just making sure everybody has a nice full-time job to live off is simply no longer feasible. Even now a massive amount of the employed are in Prekärbeschäftigung, and the trend of increasing efficiency and automation isn't looking to reverse anytime soon. Parties will need to figure out a concept how to handle this issue*. And now here's the SPD, who is supposed to be specifically looking out for those most threatened and worried by this development, and them rolling up with basically CDU-level rhetoric along the lines of "more work is the answer, welfare bad and for lazy moochers" is... not inspiring, to say the least. *Whether that might be a mincome, sozialer Arbeitsmarkt, the FDP's "just teach everyone to code and do startups and trust the ~*~free market~*~, or something else entirely is a separate issue.

Libluini posted:Apparently "staatstragend" is code for "only idiots vote for them", considering how the SPD is bombing in elections so far The problem with the tweet isn't that the blurb by Nahles is factually incorrect, it's that it's incredibly tone-deaf. You rightly point out that a universal basic income would just be another welfare scheme in a sugar coat, with macro-economic uncertainties attached. But right now, welfare schemes carry exceptionally bad stigmata. There are tons of people who can't work due to disability and illness, who are stuck in the health and welfare systems. There are segments of working age population who couldn't work in anything but state-subsidized small time employment in toxic jobs at businesses that wouldn't be competitive without state aid. Others are driven to become 'self-employed' delivery drivers, which is just the same kind of state aid to the parental company except with more poo poo. It's my impression that the state has nothing to offer to these people except derision and contempt. If you're working and can't make rent because you're still treated as a Sozialschmarotzer and Bittsteller. Now I agree that a universal basic income would probably not help these people a terrible lot. Maybe it'll be a bit more for some, but less for others. There's the danger that individual needs and hardships that exceed the BGE will not be covered. Maybe it does save the state a little work (and employment, ha) to process the BGE compared to the current system. But to act as though society right now is an egalitarian utopia where everyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps isn't helping. Maybe it is time we acknowledged people's struggles. Maybe it's also time to realize that increasing spending to a group that uses 99% of their money at the supermarket next door is an easy way to ease their problems while stimulating consumption in meager years (I mean isn't Germany's lack of a consumer market one of her biggest economical weaknesses anyway?). So Nahles reflects on all this, then looks at the history of Social Democracy across Europe and in Germany. She realizes that as a Social Democrat she's in the game to stand up for the disenfranchised and create a healthy economy for everyone. Nah gently caress it she goes all and about it. I mean, really, who is the SPD trying to appeal to anymore?

Lord Stimperor posted:The problem with the tweet isn't that the blurb by Nahles is factually incorrect, it's that it's incredibly tone-deaf. If I had political power, I would just set a basic income at a round, easy to process 1k Euro (of course, every year automatically adjusted for inflation, so it wouldn't stay that way for long). I would set the basic income up in a way so it wouldn't interfere with people getting money from the healthcare system and other sources, if they need it. It can't be set lower without the need to adjust a lot of laws anyway: In Hannover, Wohngeld needs a minimum income of ca. 900+ Euro, so a lower basic income would make you ineligible. Tough, if your basic income can't cover your rent but thanks to the local situation there are no cheaper apartments available. To keep things simple (and because I'm incredibly cynical), only adults over the age of 18 would be eligible for the Grundeinkommen, and only half of it if they choose to sit down at home instead of getting their own place to live. To incentivize people living together instead of alone in some lonely hovel, there will be no reductions if you live in a Wohngemeinschaft. Problems would probably arise by people in debt, as the Lohnpfändungsgrenze would probably need adjustment if the Lohnpfändungsgrenze is not adjusted automatically by inflation, as otherwise the basic income would sooner or later grow over the LPG, causing problems if Pfändung of basic income is allowed. I would probably disallow it, but I don't know if the Lohnpfändungsgrenze covers every source of possible income, or if things like Wohngeld, the new basic income, etc. could be / are already excluded. Now I would obviously get into trouble if it turns out the new system costs as much to run as the old one, as then I would need a source of money to cover this. The solutions I've come up so far: -Turning the rich into sausage to feed the poor, steal all their money for the state: Probably not enough money. -Raise taxes on both the rich, the mediocre and the poor: Enough money, but probably causes Kapitalflucht and Revolution. -Implement a post-scarcity economy really fast: Money isn't needed anymore, but probably causes an American intervention and my decapitation by American soldiers. -Dissolve the Rentensystem, as old people die soon anyway: Enough money, but probably causes my decapitation by a mob of angry senior citizens -Dissolve the army: Gets enough money for about 1 sandwich per month per citizen, tops. Suboptimal. Also generates more costs thanks to everyone having to learn Russian after the inevitable invasion. Probably ends up generating negative money after the Russians steal our entire industry for themselves. Man, this poo poo is hard

While we are making suggestions for post-revolutionary Germany, please put this on the list too - people should literally own the means of production, as the great Carl Marx envisioned. Citizens will own 2% of all companies that have their seat in Germany and be entitled to the same rights as all other stock holders. Dividends are distributed equally among all citizens, everyone has one vote. Foreign companies will pay dividends to German citizens on their German revenue as if 2% was owned by them, they can book that as tax expenses

The progression on this is kinda interesting. First Riso was the Fadenanzi and he was actually a bonafide national socialist. After he got run out of town, GC was the new Fadenanzi but he was just a soulless, amoral materialist and not actually a nazi. Now Einbauschrank is the new Fadenanzi and he is simply some milquetoast 17 year old FDP edge lord. I wonder who is next Also, Cingulate. He was just some milquetoast academic

I loving love Rotkäppchen.

Of course it's not a good wine ffs, that's the whole point.

If you want to see real Nazis, I could go and invite them from the Climate Change thread. There you have guys genuinely thinking we can only be saved by establishing a dictatorship and/or killing billions of people. Also some of the posters are seriously mentally ill. If you remember this weird Nazi-obsession with planting trees, there's basically no difference anymore

Mithaldu posted:What did GC get cut for? In lieu of Oliwanposting, I'm gonna be serious and say I kinda think there really, really is a point in distinguishing between actual Neonazis that are a danger to our democracy and humanity-at-large, and idiots with dumb opinions trolling on some forum. Because the worst the latter do is inconvenience a bunch of other people on said forum, and they can be run out of town relatively easily. Defeating actual Neonazis requires exponentially more effort, and that effort needs to be sustained, almost none of which can be done exclusively on some forum. So blurring the lines between trolls and actual Neonazis (along with everything in between on that spectrum, like racist grandpas, CSU Politiker, AfD Politiker, etc) seems extremely counter-productive to me. I think I made an effort-post to that extent in this very Faden before, but I'd really just prefer if we didn't casually call people Nazis in here unless they are the real deal. Edgelord-Racists? Run them out of town. Trolls posting racist poo poo? Run them out of town. But don't throw around Nazi at a new person every couple of months. (Not addressing you here, mind) Hell, I'm pretty sure Randler was unironically referred to as the Fadennazi more than once.

Frankly, i find the point worth discussing, even if i see it a bit differently than you. What you say has merit on its own, but i worry that it leaves out the effects large amounts of "ironic shitposters" have on the people who truly believe and are easily swayed into actually acting out horrible poo poo. That said, i'm not against addressing various kinds of detriment to humanity in more exact ways, but i fully admit that i'm a little too lazy to do it consistently and am not yet convinced that it's counter-productive, since for most of those the actual end product on the ground is the same, even if the reach of some is weaker and around some corners.

I get what you are saying. But 10 years ago I thought people on 4chan were being edgy and ironic and using Nazi taboos for humor. Similarly I thought people on the internet were making jokes about women in an unfunny but harmless way. They were not making an awkward attention at humor.

Obviously the word Nazi us overused, but that line you don't want to blur doesn't really exist (anymore). We have seen in the last few years that edgy internet Nazis do go out and murder people. That's not a theory anymore, that's what's actually happening.

Driving into the city rn, party with a bunch of old buddies and their (and my) partners. Everyone was putting on a big "woo getting drunk like old times" show and now I got a "uh I might not last until 5 AM can I join you in bailing early and crash at your place instead" call, lol Sekt: I like it, but only for events. Got a lot of it recently because we keep celebrating academic achievements at my institute in Sweden. Coincidentally, I rarely have opportunity to drink because little social life + very expensive alcohol, so it's double welcome. Wife wanted to make sure we have at least one bottle so I'm bringing Freixenet from my mother's basement. I do not have opinions on brands and/or the bouginess thereof.
