I stopped buying books at Amazon, even they are cheaper. I want to keep Europe‘s economy running and that people have jobs in Europe, so already since last year - Trump was not the principal reason, the well being and work of us Europeans it was - I buy books at our local bookstore.

What do you think will now happen? AfD will just disappear? East Germany will suddenly vote for conservatives or leftist? My point is - and it is funny that people don’t get it and just downvote me instead of engaging in a discussion - that it will very likely resolve nothing (I thought I am far away from the kindergarten in Reddit here, but it seems to be the same). You cannot stop a train just by painting it as “right extremist” - and I did not say that this is not true, but some are thinking presumably that THIS is the solution. It is not!
My point is simple: to bring this party and its poison down, you need to find the core problem and solve it. Otherwise you won’t take away people from the AfD, but you will make them support harder this party. This creates frustration and where this leads … just think about it a moment instead screaming against others. They have already surpassed the CDU thanks to stubborn people like you and others here.
I really don’t know if this was a smart move. It reminds me deeply of the Weimar Republic and the exclusion of the right extremists. Everybody knows how it went. The reason: deep frustration in the society about the politics. It is the same now and the current parties do nothing to calm down the situation. This is so dangerous!
I do not want the same to happen again in Germany that suddenly this will lead to a strengthening of the AfD, which will push the country further to the right while the AfD is playing well the victim card. At the end there will be a Führerin Alice Weidel.
Rheinische Frohnatur halt 😉
We have to start one day anyway and I do not want Russian soldiers say „hello” at the houses of people in the EU (even when Ukraine joins) - without at least not having paid a terrible price for it.
It is interesting to see how users here complain about Germany, when in Switzerland this practice is common since decades. Rarely heard that in Switzerland a foreigner did something atrocious and when, then, well, the Swiss passport is gone for sure with - often - a ban for years to enter the country. Result: little troubles with foreigners and efforts to from their side to be part of the Swiss society. Considering the fact that Switzerland has more foreigners than Germany, I think this procedure added to the success of Switzerland in terms of migration.
Next please!
Don’t forget about Russia. It is already there and leading in its effort to turn some countries into the same political system, making thereby these countries their puppets aka satellites.
He wanted to play Josef Mengele.
These idiots are from far East Germany. Worrisome? Yes. Unexpected? Absolutely not. The AfD is the strongest party in East Germany and thinking for themselves - as they claim so often (“Wir sind das Volk“ - „We are the people“) - is not their strength as they haven’t learned it during communism and forgot to learn it thereafter. Consequently, no consequences are taken and no efforts are made to think things through and improve, deepening that way the feeling that they are the losers which is simply their own fault and which is why they are falling for every right wing German proud shit.
The EU should ask Iran to stop supporting Russia in its war against Ukraine. This would be a deal to reduce or stop sanctions.
Obelix, in case you have been involved in the occupation of the university that time, it is likely that you have been filmed by the police. If this is true, your chances are pretty low. Even when you behaved non-violent. There is a saying in German: mitgehangen, mitgefangen - it is like you would be a wolf in a pack and although you would stay outside the fence and not participate in the killing of sheep, you are done anyway.
Therefore my suggestion: if you are a foreigner and the police gives a final call to leave the place, follow the order of the police. Otherwise another saying applies: Dummheit schützt vor Strafe nicht (ignorance is no excuse).
BTW, the situation will get way darker when the AfD will be in power, and what the CDU has done until now, I have to admit that it does not look good for many people.
The fact that capitalism cannot be blindly blamed for everything is shown by the example of Switzerland, which I would say is THE example of capitalism. Have you ever heard of a war in Switzerland in the last 150 years or that Switzerland is in crisis?
I also do not understand why helmet91 is being downvoted, as the user neither attacked someone directly nor said something generally offensive. However, downvoting helmet91 just shows how heated people are, losing common sense, and suggests that he or she is probably right.
And then they build in a switch-off trigger so that when their allies, the Russians, and they will attack us - according to the so called Trump-Putin agreement - they can switch off all the weapons.
