Here in Germany we’re gonna have a new chancellor soon after a whole 16 years of Merkel.
The Green Party’s candidate, Annalena Baerbock, isn’t great but she’s the only candidate who remotely considers the climate a factor that might be worth keeping in mind, and as you could expect, the conservative CDU, the libertarian FDP and ofc the fascist AfD hate her guts for it, alongside large parts of the media. They’re trying to Corbyn her, pretty much.
And the libs’ analysis of this: “Ah yes, it must be because she is a woman.”
We have had Angela Merkel in office for the past sixteen years. SIXTEEN YEARS.
The fact that maybe she’s getting shat on because she’s trying to minimally go against capital doesn’t even cross their minds. Terminal idpol brain.
In principle I agree, but society looks quite differently on “women” and “old ladies”. Above a certain age, they are excused from having to live up to the beauty standard, and not subject to its sexual pathologies.
