Yeah, we Germans don't realize yet how close we are again. It sure feels like the last days of the Weimar republic sometimes. Mostly because our "normal" politicians fail horribly.

I completely agree. But I would go even farther. We have misunderstood and corrupted democracy to a popularity contest. I

t is legal to infinitely increase politicians salaries, to accept donations from lobbyist groups, to work into their own pocket. We pretty much legalized corruption.

Now the politicians are so out of touch that they don’t see how their country is eroding under them. The streets have holes, there is garbage on the back alleys but not on the main streets. All so it doesn’t look bad when you drive through but shit if you live there.

Even our former health minister, albeit relatively fast in his reaction, made himself and his husband rich with mask deals. He should definitely go to jail for that.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
