Eine Neuwahl würde noch mal entlarven, dass weder SPD noch Union Stabilität bringen. Außerdem muss dann jedem klar sein, dass es weder mit SPD noch Union ein AfD Verbot geben wird. Wer die AfD verhindern will, hat nur die Linke und Grüne als Option, vorausgesetzt die Grünen verbannen Künast und die anderen “Realos”, die ein AfD Verbot weiter verzögern und verschieben wollen in die politische Besenkammer.

Eine instabile Merz-Regierung mit rechtspopulistischer bis rechtsextremer Politik wie im Koalitionsvertrag vereinbart, wird uns mit höchster Wahrscheinlichkeit eine AfD als stärkste Kraft und einzige Koalitionsmöglichkeit in den nächsten vier Jahren bringen.

Eine Neuwahl wäre der letzte Lackmus-Test ob in Deutschland die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung die Demokratie verteidigen will, oder im Spektrum Mitläufer-Steigbügelhalter-Faschisten unterwegs sein will. So oder so wird es aber nicht mehr mit Wahlen reichen. Es braucht Demonstrationen, Streiks und Direkte Aktionen.

Mir fallen noch Piraten, SGP und KP ein. Die PdH kann man ggf. als Links einordnen. Mera25 hat auch nur einen sehr kleinen Stimmanteil in Deutschland, ist aber paneuropäisch organisiert, was sonst nur auf Volt zutrifft. Deswegen ist “Splitterpartei” ggf. nicht der beste Begriff.

I like the idea, but a “required donation” simply is not a donation and probably not legally enforceable.

Just make a law that a “no OS” version must be available for every assembled computer. If manufacturers then want to also offer a pool of linux distros that could come preinstalled, this would be encouraged as the market share of linux distros will grow.

Ist halt ein sehr deutliches politisches Signal. So wie wenn Schröder nach Moskau reist.

Rechts von der CDU, die das Verfassungsgrundrecht auf Asyl zerstören will? Rechts von der CDU, die die totale Überwachung und damit das Ende des Grundrechts auf Privatsphäre und Post/Fernmeldegeheimnis will? Rechts von der CDU, die mit Lügengeschichten gegen Geflüchtete und Migranten hetzt?

Ich glaube da wird es schwer, rechts von der CDU nicht verfassungsfeindlich zu sein, weil die CDU schon in der Parteimitte den Boden der Verfassung verlassen hat.

I assume it is by ignorance of the history, but you should be very careful not to make apologies for Nazi collaborators unless you know for sure that they were coerced. BMW and the Quandts went way beyond what would be explicable by coercion. The reason why you didnt hear more of it is because the UK and US protected Quandt like they protected many other Nazis in order to quickly build up a right wing bulwark against the “communist threat” in Europe. Claiming to have been coerced is the typical excuse and repeating this narrative is helping fascists and their allies to revision history.

deepl:

After the National Socialist takeover and initial difficulties in his relationship with the new rulers (parts of the AFA Board of Directors close to the NSDAP tried unsuccessfully to overthrow Günther Quandt in 1933), Quandt was able to consolidate his position within the German industrial landscape. In 1937, he was appointed military economic leader. AFA’s accumulators were used in submarines and rockets, among other things, and the textile companies supplied uniforms and blankets for the Wehrmacht, as they had done during the German Empire and the Weimar Republic. Other Quandt companies manufactured weapons and ammunition.

Competing companies of Jewish owners expropriated by the Nazi state were taken over by Quandt at favorable terms.

The case of the Société Anonyme des Accumulateurs Tudor battery factory owned by the Luxembourg entrepreneur Léon Laval in Florival near Wavre is well known in this context. Quandt endeavored to incorporate this factory into the AFA. After the conquest of Luxembourg and Belgium by the German occupying forces, Quandt, with the support of the Gestapo, tried to force Laval to sell his shares to Quandt through interrogation. After his steadfast refusal, Laval was first imprisoned in Luxembourg, then in Germany until the end of the war.[3]

Just a few weeks after the capitulation in May 1945, AFA was one of the first companies to receive an operating license from the British occupying power. In 1946, Günther Quandt was arrested by order of the US military government and interned for two years. However, the British withheld incriminating documents about Günther Quandt’s activities in the Third Reich and did not pass them on to the American prosecution authorities. As a result, no charges were brought against him at the Nuremberg war crimes trials, despite initial investigations. As part of the denazification process, Quandt had to stand trial before a Starnberg tribunal for his role in the expropriation of Léon Laval, among other things. Laval had survived imprisonment in the camp and appeared as a joint plaintiff in the proceedings. Despite his involvement in the crimes of the Third Reich, the trial ended in 1948 with Quandt being classified as a “fellow traveler”. The role of Quandt’s armaments company during the war and the use of forced laborers never became part of the proceedings against him. Quandt himself declared that he had been “persecuted by the National Socialist government for years in the most severe manner”, which, according to Quandt biographer Rüdiger Jungbluth, must be regarded as absurd; the Spruchkammer proceedings themselves were a “farce”[1].

See the Thuringen government crisis, where AfD, CDU and FDP voted together to topple the former state minister president in favor of a guy from the FDP that only made it into parliament by a dozen votes.

It has precedent that the AfD will vote to enable an unpopular candidate in order to mock the representative democracy.

Das ist natürlich nicht ausgeschlossen. Die “Bauchschmerzen” der SPD werden damit dennoch nicht besser.

Scholz hat praktisch kein Charisma. Trotzdem hat er eine jahrzehntelange politische Karriere hinter sich. Bevor er Bundeskanzler wurde war er bereits langjähriger erster Bürgermeister von Hamburg.

Scholz Wahl zum Bundeskanzler mag überwiegend an der völligen Inkompetenz von Laschet gelegen haben. Insgesamt ist er aber ein erfahrener Politiker, der weiß was und für wen er es tut. Es ist definitiv eine Kalkulation von Scholz und keine Naivität.

Merz und der SPD-Co-Vorsitzende Lars Klingbeil hatten am Montag betont, dass sie fest mit einer klaren Mehrheit der künftigen Regierungsfraktionen bei der Kanzlerwahl rechneten. Bei Sonderfraktionssitzungen am Morgen hatten sowohl Union als SPD festgestellt, dass alle Abgeordneten anwesend sind.

Versucht alle auf Linie zu trimmen bei der SPD und die ganzen “Bauchschmerzen” waren erstmal umsonst. Was ein trauriger Haufen. Da hat man kein Rückgrat und dafür auch keine Disziplin.

The family that still owns large parts of BMW had multiple members in the NSDAP and other Nazi organisations. They made a fortune with selling military equipment to fuel world war 2 and they kept most of that fortune after the war.

They were absolutely deliberate in what they did and the only thing that coerced them was their greed.

Note for everyone:

There is three bodies that can start an investigation by the constitutional court to ban a party. The federal government. The federal parliament and the state assembly composed of representatives of the state governments.

The federal government, both outgoing and new one already made it clear they have no intentions to start the procedure.

The federal parliament whose majority coalition forms the government also has only shown lackluster motivation.

It is unlikely that the state of Bremen will manage to get a majority in the state assembly as the majority of state governments is run by the reactionary CDU/CSU and the now right wing and often authoritarian and racist SPD. Also states need to agree on a position for their vote in the state assembly to be considered.

In the current political climate this ia good to do, but there is a long way to success as the majority political powers want to keep the AfD around to secure their position and to justify their own racist ans inhumane policies as “moderate” in comparision.

I mean the world can fix a broken US democracy by boycotting the US entirely on all fronts until a democratic country emerges.

This will take a while though as we have seen with South Africa.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_floating_pier

On June 8, 2024, Israel initiated a military action that rescued 4 hostages and killed 274 Palestinians (mostly civilians), according to Gaza Health Authorities. While the United States acknowledged assisting Israel in the operation, it denied that the floating pier was used.[10] A video emerged on social media showing an Israeli Black Hawk helicopter close to the pier picking up IDF soldiers and hostages.[104] The video also shows military equipment, including a US counter-drone system, on the pier.[10]

The Popular Resistance Committees in Gaza released a statement in which it “confirms the participation of American enemy forces stationed on the floating dock” to conduct an attack on the Nuseira refugee camp.[11] Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said IDF didn’t just evacuate using the pier and that it was likely that the IDF entered into Gaza using the pier as well.[105] United States officials told CBS News reporters that the video appearing to show the helicopter taking off from the beach near the pier, showed the helicopter landing south of the facility and not within the cordoned off area adjacent to pier.[104]

Shortly after the rescue operation, it was announced that the United Nations World Food Program would pause all of its work with the pier, until a security review and review of how the IDF may have utilized the pier was completed. During the review, undistributed humanitarian aid remained on the beach, as the UN worked to transfer it to warehouses and local aid teams within Gaza.[106]

Saying “never” for delivering aid was not entirely correct. Apparently it delivered two days of aid worth in over three months accorsung to the US military. However iirc. there was issues with the aid being delivered on land and then blocked from actual distribution by Israel. One of the key groups destined to distribute the aid, Woeld Central Kitchen had one of their clearly markes and coordinated convoy bombed repeatedly by Israel, murdering 7 humanitarian workers.

The Financial Times estimated less than 600 trucks of aid were delivered via the pier, about two days of aid to Gaza before the war, calling the pier a “colossal failure”.[112]

At a press conference on July 11, US President Biden said he was disappointed with the failures in providing aid through the Gaza floating pier.[113]

Hypothetically another major recall could cause more cars to be returned than sold.

Note that plenty of Christians reject these attempts to bring on judgement day just as many Jews reject the forceful invasion of the Holy Land to bring on a promised Jewish state.

Abrahamic faith is pretty clear on the decision of when to call judgement day to be solely in the hands of God and noone except God knows.

The aid pier never delivered aid. Instead it delivered a clandestine military operation hidden inside aid trucks. Which of course is a war crime.

The “aid pier” was a smokescreen and only served for facilitating a war crime.

Dreimal im Monat ist einmal pro Woche bei einem Zyklus von ~4 Wochen.

Es geht um Deutschland als Land und die (dominierende) Kultur. Klar gibt es Menschen auf die das nicht zutrifft und es gibt auch Menschen, die sich aktiv gegen Rassismus und andere Diskriminierung engagieren. Der Großteil ist leider entweder direkt mit dabei oder passiv am Mitlaufen.

Dabei sehe ich noch einmal eine höhere Verantwortung für entsprechende Eliten in Politik, Verwaltung, Medien und Wirtschaft, die sowohl die Macht als auch das Wissen haben, um die Entwicklung zu stoppen und wieder umzukehren. Aber gerade diese nutzen ihre Macht entweder nicht, oder noch schlimmer, um die Entwicklung zum Faschismus voranzutreiben.

Die Methoden und Auswirkungen sind auch konkret bekannt. Zunehmende rechtsextreme Gewalt, fehlende Strafverfolgung, decken von Rechtsextremen in den eigenen Behörden, (ab morgen) Kanzler, die mit rassistischen Lügengeschichten Wahlkampf machen und öffentlich rechtliche Medien, die meinen man müsse jetzt menschenfeindlichen Positionen im Programm Raum geben und selber entsprechende Takes ins Programm aufnehmen…

Und wenns um so Sachen wie Demonstrationen dagegen geht, gibt es mal eine Welle nach einem Aufschrei. Das man Menschenrechte und Demokratie nicht verteidigt indem man einmal oder zweimal auf eine Demo geht, scheint aber nur eine sehr kleine Minderheit so zu sehen. Und selbst das überhaupt zu einer Demo am Samstag Nachmittag gehen, trifft nur auf eine Minderheit zu. Da ist es dann auch nicht verwunderlich, dass bei Rassismus im Freundeskreis, im Verein oder auf Arbeit überwiegend geschwiegen wird.
