The fossile class and its kleptocrats have won. https://mastodon.social/@timpritlove/112588442263923755

Das hier ist krass.

Schaut mal, wieviele demokratische Parteien Stimmen an den Status "Nichtwähler:in" verloren haben.

Bestätigt mein Bauchgefühl: Viele Demokrat:innen haben nicht mehr gewählt, während Nazis brav waren.

@SheDrivesMobility Die Grünen und die SPD haben kaum etwas geliefert (electoral, politisch oder im Wahlkampf) also ist das sehr plausibel.

Who wants to do climate politics and get hammered for the next decades?

How do you politically profit from everything falling apart and contradictions increasing?

Wales and 20mph speed limits

From The Times today

'However, figures published this week show injuries on the roads fell by a third in the final quarter of last year compared to the same period a year earlier. After a review, the Welsh government agreed to more 30mph exemptions but insisted that most roads should remain at 20mph.’

The hysteria about 20mph was just that - rabble rousing based on no attention to the details. That included Times reporting.

@Wen Right wing fear mongering latching onto a topic they know would get currency. That’s all it ever is.

Teilzeitquote geht hoch, was ja oft problematisiert wird. Aber es ist doch viel mehr ein Zeichen, dass Menschen das 40h/Woche Ding nicht machen wollen und andere Modelle suchen.
Ich und meine Partnerin arbeiten auch beide nur 32 h/Woche, die Zusatzzeit geht in Zeit mit unserem Sohn.

Next Sunday we have European Elections ( ) in Berlin and this time round I—like many around me—have no idea what to vote for.

Here’s a fast and loose treatment of a bunch of the political parties that are on the ballot here.

@cdamian Oh Volt is coming after I put the kids to bed.

The AfD is the German nazi party. They'll say whatever vile things they need to get elected and once they're elected they'll collude with the rich and sell the country out to Putin. They'll also destroy whatever is still working of the institutions.

I'm not entirely clear why the other political parties cede so much of the frustrated electorate to them.

alper,
@alper@rls.social avatar

Die Partei is a joke party and if you vote for them that makes you a bit of a joke (but you knew that already).

alper,
@alper@rls.social avatar

Die Tierschutzpartei is one of many parties (Tierschutz hier!, V-Partei³) for animal lovers.

Unfortunately I don't see them achieve the same success that the PvdD did in the Netherlands who entered parliament as a party to the left of the Greens and became a small but relatively vocal element in Dutch politics.

alper,
@alper@rls.social avatar

The FDP say they are a liberal party but they are not much more than the political expression of egotism and short-sightedness. Everything about this party is a mistake and with some luck they will not make it into the Bundestag come next elections. #europawahl #eu2024

alper,
@alper@rls.social avatar

Volt is a transnational party and that's the only positive thing I can say about them. They sound very sympathetic but because the party is ideologically void ("Let's just make everything nice."), you never know what you're really going to get.

Or at least you know you're not going to get an actual solution that might cut into the careers or inheritances of the Volt kids.

Also as direct disqualifiers: They're against the Palestinians and pro nuclear energy.

The Pirate Party should be a joke party but that position is already covered.

Why do they still exist? I don't think anybody knows, least of all they themselves. #europawahl #eu2024

The ÖDP ranks pretty high for me but as with all the climate parties (Klimaliste) you can pretty much be sure that they will never make it in.

Also environmental parties in Germany can never be trusted when it comes to alternative medicine or Putin. #europawahl #eu2024

@alper@rls.social avatar

I don't really understand whether the Freie Wähler are really a party or not. I feel that it's the kind of party you vote for if you are unhinged and right-wing but you have too much pride left to be able to vote for the AfD.

They're bad news in any case. #europawahl #eu2024

Die Heimat is the nazi alternative to the alternative nazi party. #europawahl #eu2024

@alper@rls.social avatar

Besides the many animal lover parties there's also a bunch of socialist remnant political parties like the Deutsche Kommunistische Partei, Marxistische Leninistische Partei Deutschland and Sozialistische Gleichheitspartei Vierte Internationale. (Which one of these are the Trots?)

Their histories and positions are most probably incredibly convoluted but also nobody is really interested in learning about them anyway. #europawahl #eu2024

@alper@rls.social avatar

Die Basis is the political party that is a platform for the covidiots and anti-vaxxers in Germany. I mean Germany has more than enough of both of those to go around, but in this party they'll be very much in the majority. #europawahl #eu2024

Unlike most people I think the Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht is somewhat sympathetic. If nothing else, you have to give it to a party that actually manages to take votes away from the far right.

Their leader and her personality cult have, after years of political edging, finally broken out and assumed what I feel is the final form of what die Linke always wanted to be but could never admit to itself: populist, nationalist, pro-Putin. #europawahl #eu2024

DAVA is widely known as the Erdogan party which they won't admit to of course. In the Netherlands a similar party DENK had some success politically and something like that may happen here because:

  • Germany's political apparatus deliberately and systematically disenfranchised its entire muslim voter base. Many of them are never going to vote for an establishment political party again.
  • The SPD used to be a reservoir of Arab and Turkish votes but is now taking a hard right. #europawahl #eu2024

The Letzte Generation is not just another environment party like Klimaliste and Tierschutzpartei. They are the political arm of a protest movement that was everywhere in Germany over the past 1-2 years and garnered lots of media attention.

I would vote for them if I thought there was any chance of them getting a seat (you need some 400'000 votes). #europawahl #eu2024

Of all the single-issues political parties in these elections the Life Extension Party (Partei für schulmedizinische Verjüngungsforschung) seems like it may be the most reasonable one.

Their posters (how I first noticed them) are quite well done and they make it explicit they are not in favour of alternative medicine. #europawahl #eu2024

No matter how hard you work, you're a lazy piece of crap compared to how hard "simply" is working in this sentence.

If you suggest an AWS region migration is simple, you should be caught with a net.

@Quinnypig If it’s that simple, then AWS can surely provide a one-click migration tool and generous indemnity in case of any downtime.
