Latest German Lunacy

The CDU will again try to create some Frankenstein's monster of a crap coalition with the SPD (red) and Greens, like has been done in the past. It won't last long, because these parties hate each other. Part of the issue they have in Germany is that the Federal President, Steinmeier, who nominates the Chancellor, and is supposed to be politically impartial, has stated that he would never allow for an AfD Chancellor.
 
If BSW could somehow crack the 5% threshold (they're currently at 4.9%) and actually get seats in parliament, my last hope would be for coalition between CDU/AFD/BSW. Deep down CDU voters are just AFD who are too ashamed to vote a "right wing extremist" party, with the exception of those who legitimately vote CDU because they think war with Russia and the US is somehow a good idea.
 
My Russian friends that live in Russia are already discussing what a war with Germany would look like. Many Germans consider Russia militarily weak, because they didn't obliterate the Ukraine. However, they fail to understand that 18% of the Ukraine's population are ethnic Russians. Therefore, is more concerned with liberating them and not bombing their own people to smithereens. A war would Germany would be much quicker and they'd simply force the Germans to capitulate by bombing them.
 
Not really German "lunacy", but since I can't find another thread for German politics or whatever else, I'll put this here. I found it interesting that the East German vs. West German divide in mindset is still reflected even at the local level in Berlin, nearly 35 years after the Berlin Wall came down.

Young women very leftist, young men for the AfD:


The other important news is that the anti-establishment anti-war leftist opposition of Sarah Wagenknecht came incredibly close of the 5% cutoff which would have given her party about 40 seats, instead she got 4.97% and 0 seats. The numbers are kind of suspicious, she was only a few thousand votes away from getting real power.
 
If you look at the number of seats won in parliament for each political party, instead of focusing on the percentages (seats won or lost are the only thing that really counts for true power at the end of the day) the legacy "conservatives" only gained something like a measly 12 seats compared to the last election.

The socialists and greens together however lost almost 120 seats in parliament, of which almost 70 seats went to the right wing AfD.
What this means is that the so called "extreme right wing" is making its biggest gains from ex leftist voters and not from conservatives, which is a tendency I find really fascinating.

The FDP party fell under the 5% hurdle and is also now out of federal politics and its leader Christian Lindner quit.

They were not offering what really counts at the moment and it looks like the voters have seen through it now.

BSW is a left wing party which is tough on migration, for leftists who agree with the AfD on migration but can't bring themselves to be on the right, so a confused party by the sounds of it. Also under 5% and now out.
 
BSW is also anti-war and pro-German industry, Wagenknecht want to reopen Nordstream. How is she on LGBT etc, I wonder if she's actually more socially conservative than the lesbian-led AfD on that ? She's been accused of being transphobic:

Wagenknecht is actually more of traditional leftist than what would be considered leftism today. She sees like more of an old school communist along the lines of the Soviet school of thinking.

Thus, all the migration, social degeneracy and trans mania stuff really doesn't represent what she stands for at all.
 
It's too bad her party just missed the cutoff for several dozen Bundestag seats by 0.03% (around 14,000 votes total IIRC). It almost makes you wonder whether they shaved off some of her votes, are those shenanigans possible under the German voting system?

Exactly. CDU has pretended to adopt a "tough on immigration" stance so that Germans can fool themselves into thinking that they are voting for change.

And to be fair they will probably see a change - for the worse. Same as in Britain.

But next time the jig will surely be up for the uniparty. Same as in Britain.

I really feel for Germany. They're saddled with a guilt complex and their politicians are the worst kind of soyboys. I pray that awareness will continue to spread before it's too late.

I personally don't think Germany will save itself without some kind of major event taking place. Something that would essentially lead to east and West Germany separating again. With the east being the conservative part while the west gradually becomes a sharia state.

I honestly don't think there are enough conservatives in the western part for anything to change before it's too late.
