Fun fact am Weltfrauentag: in Deutschland kriminalisierte der Bundestag die Vergewaltigung in der Ehe erst 1997. Einige prominente Politiker stimmten dagegen, wollten also, dass Ehemänner ihre Frauen weiter legal vergewaltigen können.

Einer von denen, die gegen die Kriminalisierung stimmten: Friedrich Merz.

Politics in the U.S. have shifted sooo much to the right that now there are only two competing political spectrums:

The far right drawing bills that would allow kids/ teenagers to work longer hours and perform some currently banned tasks, cutting taxes on the super rich (increasing them on the poor), criminalizing abortion (some states even want to implement the death sentence to women who have abortions), criminalizing trans people (by banning drag shows, or anything that 'sexualizes' children, without of course fobidding beauty competitions in little girls in bikinis), banning any books that talk about racism, trans people or homosexuality from schools, etc. There are people even talking about banning women's rights to vote.

Versus the center right, a.k.a. Democrats which are even more right than the CDU, which is Germany's center right party that widely endorses universal health care and many other social issues that the Democratic party rarely even talks about or would even dream in supporting ("Like why should I pay for other's peoples' wellbeing").

The center left, i.e. Bernie Sanders, is out of the panorama, since it is considered far left even by the Democrats in the U.S. of A. Bernie Sanders is by no means, a socialist. He'd be an average SPD member, which is Germany's current ruling center left party.

While the Evangelical right of the U.S. does not represent the majority, they have so much power, that they managed to succeed in drawing all these antisocial legislations. It's not only a democracy question, but the truly worrying thing is that they can be considered the Western Hemisphere's equivalent of the Taliban.

1.2 million people doing a mass protest in Germany against fascism. It was leaked that there was a secret meeting of many politicians from the AfD and CDU where they made plans about deportation of millions of immigrants (even if they have a German passport).

The talks included deporting people who are fully biologically German but who are "too weak" to defend against "leftist propaganda", aka people with a different opinion. As well as shipping these people to North Africa especially if they aren't white.

This doesn't surprise me coming from the country that is engaging in Nazi level subjugation of Palestinian supporters. I predicted Europe will go full far right wing due to Neoliberalism being a failure and capitalist backing fascist to defend capitalism. This time though it's going to be against Muslims, brown, and black people and not just Jewish people.

Two notable defeats handed to the far right in European elections over the weekend. 🇩🇪🇫🇮

In the German state of Thuringia, the candidate of the extremist AfD unexpectedly was upset by the candidate for the moderate center-right CDU in a runoff for district administrator of Saale-Orla. The position of district administrator (Landrat) is roughly equivalent to a county board chair/president in the US.

AfD loses run-off in first vote since mass-deportation story

Christian Herrgott of the conservative CDU beat out far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) candidate Uwe Thrum in a regional run-off election in the eastern German state of Thuringia on Sunday. The vote was viewed by political observers as a barometer for the AfD's popularity at a time when damaging headlines may have dented its alarming nationwide momentum. The vote was the first since Correctiv, an investigative journalism outfit, published a report outlining a November meeting in which AfD politicians and far-right extremists — including Austrian neo-Nazi Martin Sellner of the Identitarian Movement — discussed plans for the mass deportation of foreigners and unassimilated German citizens should they come to power. The story sparked outrage and led to numerous rallies across the country in which more than one million people turned out to demonstrate against right-wing extremism and for democracy. AfD candidate Thrum had led the race safely before the Correctiv report was released — he dominated the general election two weeks ago with 45.7% of the vote compared to Herrgott's 33.3% — but only gained 47.6% of the vote to Herrgott's 52.4% on Sunday. Herrgott, the 39-year-old leader of the CDU state party in Thuringia, has been a state parliamentarian since 2014 and will take up his post as district administrator on February 9.

So Herrgott ran 12.4% behind Thrum in the first round but ended up beating Thrum by 4.8% in the runoff. Presumably voters from other pro-democracy parties united Herrgott to lift him to victory.

In any country, unity among pro-democracy forces is necessary to defeat fascism.

Meanwhile, Finland held the first round of its presidential election on Sunday to replace retiring President Sauli Niinistö.

Former Prime Minister Alexander Stubb of the pro-EU center-right National Coalition Party (NCP) (Kokoomus) came in first place with 27.2% of the vote. Former Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto, a member of the Green League (Vihreät) but running as an independent, came in second place with 25.8%. Stubb and Haavisto move forward to the runoff on February 11th.

Edged out of the runoff was Speaker of Parliament Jussi Halla-aho of the far right Finns Party (Perussuomalaiset) who received 19.0% of the vote and finished third.

Finland’s Stubb and Haavisto head for runoff in presidential election

As neither Stubb nor Haavisto secured the 50 percent needed to win outright in the first round, the two will now go head to head in a second round on February 11. [ ... ] “Of course it’s nice to come first in the first round, but everything starts again tomorrow morning; the election starts again,” Stubb told reporters as the vote count drew to a close. The result marked the latest step in an unlikely comeback for Stubb, an ebullient and at times divisive politician, who walked away from Finnish politics in 2017 after a brief stint as prime minister ended in a parliamentary election defeat. [ ... ] Stubb has said Russia’s attack on Ukraine in 2022 drew him back into the political fray; like his rival Haavisto he has said he will take a hard line against Finland’s giant eastern neighbor. Presidents in Finland take a leading role in foreign policy and serve as the country’s commander-in-chief, meaning the looming shift from widely respected incumbent Sauli Niinistö, who has reached Finland’s limit of two six-year terms, to Stubb or Haavisto is on the radar of international leaders. [ ... ] Haavisto also has a long foreign policy track record. He is often less forceful in debates than Stubb, but is seen as a quietly effective operator. Both candidates represent mainstream political parties in Finland: Stubb as a longtime lawmaker with the center-right National Coalition Party and Haavisto with the center-left Green Party.

Stubb and Haavisto are staunchly pro-Ukraine. Finland fought a war with Stalin's Soviet Union and has few illusions about its eastern neighbor. Even Halla-aho, unlike the leaders of some other far right parties, is not a fan of Putin's Russia.

On a personal note, Haavisto would become Finland's first LGBTQ president if he wins on February 11th.

Finland’s ‘DJ’ candidate hopes to become the country’s first Green and gay president

Finland recently joined NATO. If it also elects a gay president then homophobe Vladimir Putin might get conniptions. 🤯

the links in this text all lead to german websites

so yeah, there is this "march for life" by some idiot pro-lifers in Cologne this saturday. Not a new group, they are also in my city a well-known fundamentalist group. bad. very bad, even. also (but not only) because there are many far-right idiots in these groups

but the worst part, the german conservative party CDU calls for taking part in the march

wtf guys, what the hell is wrong with you. where is the self-proclaimed "brandmauer" against the right-wing? burnt down? apparently.

stop cooperating with right-wingers, meeting republicans such as ron desantis and the afd. in communal politics and in states' and federal politics. we know about the vote with fdp and afd for less taxes in thuringia. and we know about ur meeting called the "full meeting of the true hive mind"

u are killing people. women, lgbtqia+ people, ethnic minorities, disabled people, children, etc

and we will not forgive you for allowing the right-wing to take back power

2023 / 26

Aperçu of the week:

"Ah - does one check what one wishes for?"

(Voltaire)

Bad News of the Week:

It has been one week since the far-right AfD (Alternative für Deutschland / Alternative for Germany) held political office for the first time with the regional administrator in the Sonneberg district of Thuringia. Since then, shock waves have been running through the country. This, is the word, is a breach of the dam and a bad omen for the upcoming state elections in the eastern states, where the AfD is in some cases ahead in the forecasts. There is talk of firewalls that must now be erected against the right, and it is the task of the democratic parties to prevent the AfD from gaining power.

Yet this development was actually seen coming. Many East Germans still feel that they are being treated as second-class citizens, which is not true. And the tendency toward populism and extreme views, especially toward minorities such as migrants or Muslims, is almost traditionally high in the east. Apparently, many are simply no longer reached by the "mainstream parties" that like to be lumped together ("Those up there in Berlin are all the same..."). There is a lesson to be learned from this. Or at least it should.

The conservative CDU and CSU have apparently learned nothing from this. They cannot understand why a fundamental, albeit hardly justified, dissatisfaction with the traffic light coalition of Social Democrats, Greens and Liberals governing at the federal level is not paying into their account. And what is party and parliamentary group chairman Friedrich Merz doing? He is also veering toward populism.

On the leading news portal spiegel.de stood last Monday - as pretty much first reactions - two messages more memorable one above the other. Above, a journalist writes in the commentary "Those who stayed at home are the problem" about the fact that a voter turnout of 60% (in the district council election in Sonneberg) means that 40% apparently did/do not care whether an extreme right-wing party rules their district. And below that you can read "Reaction to AfD triumph: Merz announces tougher course against Greens". Excuse me?

So the conservatives really want to seek your salvation in not fighting against the AfD, but instead even swinging to its course, positioning themselves against a supposed left? Even though the CDU currently governs together with the Greens in six (!) German states? By the way, there are only three other governing constellations, so the Greens are currently their primary political partner. And they are now to be attacked primarily in order to sharpen the own profile. And that should then convince a conservative clientele not to vote for the AfD (anymore).

I'm curious to see what course the respective CDU state associations will take in the next election. So far, we've heard mostly good things about the joint work with the Greens at the state level. This questionable approach already proves one thing to me: Friedrich Merz, who was not politically active at all during the long years of the Merkel government, has not yet arrived in the current reality. Please explain this to him by someone from his party. Otherwise, the far-right will continue to grow stronger.

PS: Yesterday the first AfD mayor in Germany was elected in Raguhn-Jeßnitz / Saxony-Anhalt. Pandora's box seems to be opened...

Good News of the Week:

France is on fire. The 17-year-old Nahel M. with a migrant background is unjustifiably shot by a policeman on Tuesday morning during a traffic control in Nanterre near Paris, the video evidence is clear. Since then, there have been serious riots all over France: hundreds of cars are set on fire, stores are looted, town halls are stormed. 45,000 police officers are on the streets every night, public transport is at a standstill, there are isolated curfews, and dozens of rioters - often frighteningly young - are taken into custody every day.

So far, so bad. But it's the things you don't see in the media for days that are remarkable - remarkably good. A state force that automatically stands protectively in front of one of its police officers? No, a press conference by the prosecutor Pascal Prache of Nanterre says "The legal conditions for the use of the weapon are not met." The policeman remains in custody, under investigation for second-degree murder. And Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne acknowledged already one day after the incident that the police operation "clearly did not comply with the rules of engagement for police."

A grieving family condemning a systemically racist police force and showing solidarity with the protests? No, the mother Mounia M. says "I don't blame the police, I blame one person." And grandmother Nadia M. calls for an end to the violence: "We don't want the rioters to destroy stores, buses and schools. They are using Nahel as an excuse. We want the situation to calm down. I want this to stop." She said people should stop the nonsense, adding that the judiciary will do its job.

A president who uncompromisingly takes a hard line against the riots? No, Emmanuel Macron calls the riots "inexcusable," but the death of Nahel M. "unforgivable" - and so far refuses to declare the state of emergency demanded by many. Participation in the EU summit, a government trip to Germany, countless appointments: canceled, the captain remains on the bridge, his statements are serious but moderate.

Representatives of minorities showing understanding for the outbreak of violence as a logical consequence of oppression and two-class society? No, for example, soccer superstar Kylian Mbappé also wrote on behalf of the national team that they were "shocked by the brutal death of the young Nahel." But just also: "Since this tragic event, we have witnessed the expression of popular anger, the content of which we understand, but the form of which we cannot approve." Violence, he commented, should give way to "other peaceful and constructive expressions."

All of this is good. Because only a differentiated, balanced approach by all French people can fill in the rifts in society. Which have existed not only since the tragic death of this teenager. And bring peace back to the country - including Nahel M.'s family.

Personal happy moment of the week:

We started the new table tennis season. And have already played a few hours in the first week. Especially because my son has recently discovered this hobby for himself at school. Fortunately, I can rely on my muscle memory: I haven't lost a game yet.

I couldn't care less...

...about the US Supreme Court and its landmark decisions. The partisan political influence is so obvious that one is reminded of banana republics.

As I write this...

...I am thinking about Putin. Because a colleague told me about an interesting theory about the short uprising of the Wagner mercenary troops in Russia last weekend: the whole thing was a fake staged by the Kremlin or even Vladimir Putin himself. With three goals. First, to test whether and how the elites stand by him and his position of power. Second, to test whether and how the population stands by his "special military operation" and his leadership. And third, to prepare the ground for declaring a general mobilization after all - since the need for a more broadly based military force has finally become apparent. Seems absurd? Haven't cracks in the system and crumbling control shown instead? Well, who knows? Maybe the history books will one day.

Post Scriptum

My symbolic thinker Aristotle is wearing a green awareness ribbon in the second half of 2023. As a sign of the planet earth threatened by our actions. The protection of which mankind still does not consistently tackle, although it has actually arbitrary reasons for it. After all, nothing less than survival is at stake. In his hand he holds a fictitious issue of Time magazine with the cover "The return of history", in which the graphic artist Patrick Mulder has given a Putin portrait a Hitler beard. As his policies increasingly bear fascist traits and threaten to drag all of Europe into an abyss.

Um mal den verlogenen und heuchlerischen CDU-Schreihälsen den Wind aus den Segeln zu nehmen:

Keine Partei ist korrupter als CDU/CSU und das war auch schon immer so. Abgeordnete/r ist ein Full-Time-Job und wer so viel nebenbei arbeiten kann, vernachlässigt nicht nur die Aufgabe, für die er/sie gewählt wurde, sondern ist in der Regel auch befangen. Bemerkenswert hierbei auch, wie hoch die Balken der kleinen CSU und der kleinen FDP sind. Deutschland ist wegen der CDU das Geldwäscheparadies Europas, weil CDU/CSU (und FDP) immer gegen schärfere Regeln gegen Geldwäsche gestimmt haben, die nirgendwo sonst so lasch sind wie in Deutschland. Warum wohl?

Wieso ist Scheuer nie zurückgetreten? Wieso tritt Amthor nicht zurück? Ein Fall wie Graichen würde in der CDU gar keine Beachtung finden und in der langen Tradition mit so vielen schwerwiegenden, tatsächlichen Korruptionsskandalen untergehen und stur ausgesessen werden. Weil die CDU keinen Anstand hat. Und korrupt ist bis ins Mark.

Really McLovin' my current voting options in Germany:

- Nazis

- Nazis but I don't want to admit it

- Playing 5D Chess with time travel (aka trying to strategically vote to out-play all the Nazis so that they cannot get a majority even with a coalition.)

Stay tuned to find out if we set a new record and get the Nazis elected by '24 instead of '28 this time! :D

Zur CDU Thüringen möchte ich mich nicht weiter äußern.

Sie planten schon 2018 die Koalition mit der AfD bis zur Unterschriftsreife. Verhindert hat das dann Merkel, damals noch Parteivorsitzende. Die Wahl von Thomas Kemmerich zum Ministerpräsidenten wird euch allen noch in Erinnerung geblieben sein. Danach wurde dann Maaßen als Bundestagskandidat aufgestellt.

Die CDU Thüringen arbeitet mit der AfD längst zusammen und ist folgerichtig KEINE demokratische Partei.

#CDU #CDU Thüringen #Nazis sind gefährlich
