Reciting every day in school how great your country is, is peak brainwashing to me. When I learned about that, it was so weird to me.

Only a good guy with a car can stop a bad guy with a car though. Also if everyone in a crowd had a car, stuff like this wouldn’t be possible.

/s for the people in the back

Das ist meine Einstellung. Ich sehe meine persönliche Pflicht zur Änderung als recht gering an und schränke meinen Lebensstil daher auch nicht zu krass ein (wo es nicht zu schwer fällt). Sehe aber meine Verantwortung sehr darin nur Parteien zu wählen die ein sehr starkes Klimaprogramm bieten. Politik kann wirklich was ändern, ich selbst eher nicht.

Europa Universalis V confirmed?

Over all the complaining going on about the old traffic coalition, I forgot how bad CDU-led governments are :(

Ich weiß es nicht, aber ich vermute die CDU hatte keinen Bock drauf oder so?

Yeah, highly recommend not doing that. Over 30 years after the reunion there are still massive problems because of the divide and I feel like a lot more time will pass until this is somewhat balanced.

Any bets that it will take less than 90 days before we get the next tariff circus?

To avoid a kindergarten infinity+1 problem, one side should just explicitly ban all trade at some point and not just do it implicitly by bringing tariffs to the moon. 🤷‍♂️

I hate this timeline

But, you know, Trump is always right! What does backtrack even mean? /s obviously 😵

For real. To me it seems everyone is sleeping on that, but some deep EU reform seems one of the most important things to me (maybe even the most important thing?). We will never be able to get stuff done if hungary can just block everything even remotely good

I’m optimistic that it will happen eventually. The EU generally is moving with stuff like this, even though it is slow as fuck. But well, let’s see, not promising anything…

Ich kann nicht mehr. Die haben ernsthaft diesen Idioten zum Präsidenten gemacht und jetzt würfelt der Zölle, als ob es irgendein Brettspiel wäre (unter anderem auf unbewohnte Inseln!!). Verrückt 🤷‍♂️

Perfect, thanks a lot!

I would like one too! Thanks!

Agree. That is such an america centric view. Why would italians give enough fucks about DOGE to burn a Tesla store about it. Being a Nazi is what is our primary issue with Musk here in Europe.

I’m not your mate, dude!

Remember: Germany is still in the process of forming a government. I hope once that is done we will react a bit faster on the events going on right now. Won’t get my hopes up too much with the CDU in power, but at least in regards to Ukraine they were on the good side so far (arguably more so than the SPD).

Or people not in uniform seemingly. Easiest time ever to actually kidnap people: Get your thugs together, get a van, kidnap your target person from the street, while yelling “shut up, we are the police”. Outcome is essentially the same
