Ah yes, the famous "class centric politics of the SPD". Does the SPD even use class rhetoric anymore? I think they phased that out a couple of decades ago

The NYT is from the strain of Anglo stupidity that considered Hillary and Obama socialists.

So even at its most "Agenda 2010" the SPD is luxury space communism to them.

Hasn't Lindner run on a dogwhistling, right-leaning platform?

Yeah, Lindner has been up to quite a bit of "hey guys I'm just as scared of brown people as the rest of you" signaling in the last few years. But that's really not a particularly new development. The FPD likes to talk a big game about social policies, but is all too happy to drop that the moment those sweet tax cuts drifts into reach. Last but not least, pandering exclusively to the moneyed elite also implicitly means pandering to their biases and prejudices, and turns out the moneyed elite is bigoted as gently caress. Also, lmao at this part about the FDP "embracing" technology. That mostly boils down to waving your arms and chanting "Digitalisierung" while hoping that various problems will just fix themselves by the power of the free market and blockchain.

Let's not forget that the FDP also still carries some "nationalliberale" DNA. Or the period when Möllemann tried to make hay with even less concealed pandering to the right.

The FDP is a run of the mill conservative party that like to yell FREEDOM when they're not in power. But conservatism looks like a centrist ideology if you're writing for a US newspaper.

I still remember the posters from last election showing Lindner yelling into the void, calling for more policemen. Apparently, the police is the one state program that should not be cut to the bone. I wonder why? :thunk:

Libertarians are literally crazy people who think taxation is violence and any regulation under any circumstances is bad. I guess the FDP is the furthest in that direction of the mainstream German parties, but it's still not even 10% of the way to US libertarianism.

I'm really only hatereading FAZ at this point, but it does provide some hilarious gems on occasion. For example this masterpiece of a commentary about the most important issue, Fasching. It is the pure definition of incoherent screeching. Der Europäer in der Steinzeit waren nicht viele Leute, darum werden bald Dirndl verboten, wenn man darauf hinweist, dass "der Indianer" rassistisch ist! Perfect own on the libtards, let's print this poo poo, Jesus I'm hungover still.

It just occured to me how masterful Wagner is. He makes me mad in two paragraphs while Martenstein et al. would probably need at least two pages to achieve the same.

I blame modern pop culture. There is this pervasive myth that staking a vampire is sufficient to kill them when everyone really should know that decapitating and the burial of the body at crossroads are crucial parts of the process.

With this sort of misinformation going around it really is no surprise that the undead keep walking the earth and writing terrible opinion columns. :drac:

yeah Martenstein makes me genuinely mad because he's such a smug privileged fucker but with Wagner I actually can just laugh at his dumb opinions. it's like the difference between someone bulldozing an orphanage while yelling "furthermore, I am very smart here's a mOdeSt pRopOsaL~~~~" and someone else driving his Porsche off a cliff while inhaling a Stange of Gitanes and hanging off a Mariacron IV drip

Cutting open those 10l Säcke of Erde can be a massive dick, and since the Erde is pretty compressed if you manage to bring home the dumb Sack without wiggling it around too much, I like to scoop out the amount of soil I need spoon-wise, and work my way through the package. Yeah, it's a bit odd, but that's how I roll.

Also, moving day is over, and everyone has settled into their new homes. Two purple cayennes are off-screen, but I don't think they'll need any further artificial light because those fuckers have solid Stämme and five loving levels of Blätter already.
