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.
Austerity is fascism generator numero uno, and green means eco in latin…hence, Ecofascism
You know what I don’t really know what I’m talking about because after I read further I discovered that she’s pretty good on immigration policies but this gave me pause when I read it:
Baerbock is regarded as taking a centrist line on defense and pushing for a stronger common EU foreign policy,[31] especially against Russia, Turkey and China.[32] She has proposed a post pacifism foreign policy.[33] calling for a European army under the supervision of the European Parliament
EU army is the next logical step. An ever closer union, remember? Don’t worry, the army won’t be used for imperialism. It’ll be used to bring countries like Hungary and Poland in line. Remember when they were refusing refugees? Imagine an EU battalion airdropping into Warsaw airport, seizing control, and forcibly landing airliners full of refugees into Poland. That’s what an EU army will do.
