Yeah, but when you consider the cost to police, Straßenreinigung, reputation, people who might want to visit the city for non drunkard reasons, and so on, I'm not sure it's that much of a boon. Munich has plenty of tourists at all times of year.

They wouldn't have to ban the whole fest or anything, it's certainly possible to not have a special hill for puking and sexual assault, most Volksfeste manage it.

Well if they wanted they could go back to the old system. Where no beer is served until something like 13:00. Or re-establish the familiy weekend where rules against public drunkenness are strictly enforced.

I remember as a kid my parents used to take us for lunch to the wiesn once per week when I was young, and it was fine. That was back when every local was still swimming in Gutscheine.
Back then the only tent that looked like the current photos was HB and that is why no sane locals ever went there.

And then a decade later I had a work commute that took the first morning U-Bahn that went by the wiesn. There were people getting in pre drunk at 6 in the morning.

They did this very clever thing where they didn't want people to crowd on the Wiesn and stand outside tents waiting at 8 am when tents only opened at 10... so they decided to now open them at 9.

What absolutely noone could have seen coming was that the idiots and pre-drunks now will wait at 7, which means they get there even before and cross streets etc when it is still dark making it more dangerous when drunk Vorglühers are crossing roads etc.

Nighttime temps around 0°C outside, never turned on a single radiator since spring and I wake up to 20.3°C in my schlafzimmer today. Looks like people above or below me are trying to bake a pizza in the room. It must be 30-40°C in there. And I'm paying something like half of their tropic room experiments💀 Can we all agree to a least stay below 30°C this winter, consider the circumstances and all that?

Everyone always wants to socialize everything, but once you have some slight extra energy costs, because your upstairs neighbour is running a giant bitcoin minning rig, in order to divert attention from his solar lamps for his grass, you don't want to show solidarity anymore.

People who want to mooch Umgebungswärme without paying their fair share are the real villains.

Wer den Krieg in der Ukraine historisch einordne, »oder auch nur Zweifel am Konfrontationskurs des Westens äußert, wird beschimpft und politisch ausgegrenzt«, steht in dem Aufruf. Vergleiche mit 1914 drängen sich demzufolge auf: Als der damalige SPD-Reichstagsabgeordnete und spätere KPD-Gründer Karl Liebknecht im Ersten Weltkrieg gegen die Kriegskredite stimmte und die Parole »Gegen den Zarismus« kritisierte, habe dies nicht bedeutet, dass er ein Freund des russischen Zaren gewesen sei.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Clearly the only moral course of action is to stand shoulder to shoulder next to the champions of Democracy and the principle of national sovereignty, Ursula von der Leyen, Joe Biden, Mohammed bin Salman and Ilham Aliyev. You might say "no war, but class war", but obviously that's not applicable when it's a war in Europe.

Thing is though, if you are really hard hit by the energy price increases and no longer give a gently caress about what happens in Ukraine, why wouldn't you simply protest for state support/price stabilization? Why would you do all that extra RussiaToday expanded universe fanfiction stuff? Like, what value does that secret bioweapon labs, the war of NATO aggression, maidan was a coup, Scholz is Hitler's lovechild, etc. crap add to your fight, except an extra area of attack for criticism/ridicule? I think we will of course see some increase of the redbrown querdenker sauce, but the actual major mass protests will mostly stick to simple and clear demands for financial support.

That won't happen imo. They could already do that and are not, cf the Rotbraune from the article linked above:

quote:

"Krieg in der Ukraine historisch einordnen", "Konfrontationskurs des Westens", "Dämonisierung Russlands", "Beklagt wird, dass es Genossen gebe, die für Waffenlieferungen an die Ukraine einträten"

I.e. Russia is entitled to subjugating their neighbor and the West isn't allowed to cause problems for them in that endeavor or endanger their victory. Ofc that doesn't mean that they like Putin or anything, they just started an initiative inside their party to stan him and his war, completely neutral and peace-loving stuff.

They're gonna happily march with AfD bc this whole energy crisis and nuclear war fear is just a vehicle for them to once again ineffectually try to stick it to the forces of Liberalism.

No, I meant regular Johannis Schmö folks with unbroken brains, the people who will make up the overwhelming majority in the mass protests. They have nothing to gain from engaging with the RT expanded universe and will stay from it. The Linke will not be able to capitalize on this much if they go down that path.

But, yeah, I don't have much hope for the party learning its lessons. Bad decisions will continue until the outcome improves.
