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.
I think she has been chancellor so long, the fact that she’s a woman has been forgotten. I have heard that it was a bigger deal when she just succeded Kohl. But yeah, I think you are mostly right.
What also drives me completely insane is how people still talk about left-green media dominance in germany
