  • Why is Germany so prevalent on Lemmy?

  • Haha I was kind of being a bit tongue in cheek and joking around about the state of the world. I’m sorry if it came off as super serious—I was making a goofy comment.

    The entire world feels like a matchstick—will it snap or set itself on fire?

    I do believe Germany is leading the world right now but that is not a great development. It’s actually a position that reinforces and exposes how fucked we all are. I also think that Germany’s leadership is incredibly tentative and fragile. Germany reminds me of America way too much in the worst ways.

    The state of German politics and the rise of authoritarianism in Germany is something I worry about, genuinely, daily. I follow your elections closely and your politics.

    This is the real reason I started learning German. Because I have no illusions that human decency will continue standing. Most of our shared suffering is because economically we are all being crushed by a few outrageously rich evil entities. We face this together.

    I do appreciate your perspective though and I am aware of what’s going on there with the Ausländer and systemic issues. It’s scary honestly and I’m sorry if my joking made it seem like I was making light of these issues—I never meant it to come across that way.

    As for the crisis with your cost of living, economic opportunity and especially securing affordable housing. I saw one German comedy video put it succinctly: Was wollen Die Parteien eigentlich machen mit meinen hohen Lebenshaltungskosten zu helfen?

    And the “answer“ from every Partie was: Also wir wollen dir helfen indem wir Ausländer abschieben!

    Actually, I’m a lawyer so I appreciate the detail you put in to explain because the Tägliche Nachrichten I can read doesn’t go into detail like you have—so thanks!

  • In America you can refuse to have your biometrics scanned still. This is true for coming into and out internationally. Just politely say no. They cannot force you to scan your face. I always refuse.

  • It’s because I’m specifically learning German and the universe shifted to my will. The universe created feddit.org to give me a clear path to achieve my goal of befriending Germans.

    This only happpened because me, Tischbier, decided to take an interest in Germany.

    You’re welcome.

    (Joking aside, I noticed on Reddit before I left and before I started to learn German, that ich_irl was hitting the front page a lot too. My family decided to learn German together probably in part because of how funny Germans are. I watch German YouTubers now too (Spacefrogs and Staiy). Germany is a pretty big country and I think them the top leader of the free world! I have enjoyed reading the actual Germans takes on this topic. Prost!)

  • Meta whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams says company targeted teens with advertisements based on their ‘emotional state’

  • Yes! SO many people would never ever believe this kind of evil action without hard proof. It absolutely needs to be said and reported on! Any reaction less than this is dismissive and enabling.

  • It’s not always English speaking first here haha don’t feel too badly you meant well

  • I think people are misunderstanding your comment. There’s a saying “look in the mirror” which is used negatively when someone isn’t being self-aware. People are most likely taking your comment as a play of this idiom and it sounds like you are yelling at someone to be self reflective. It’s miscommunication

  • You’re right — the early 80’s ugh. 15% inflation with a gas crisis. 10-15 year panics were the norm in the 1800’s too

  • Ok I’ll go read about him. Thank for the tip.

    I don’t feel very favorable about the DNC. I assume they will purposefully fail

  • Thank you for saying this. I’m a pretty aggressive feminist but I think this desire to paint the losses of Harris and Clinton on sexism alone is dangerously reductive. I strongly feel like until neoliberals categorize women losing as an individual losing and not an entire gender losing we won’t have real success there. Like, when McCain lost no one was like: WOE MEN CANT WIN it’s OVER for white men boohoo!!

    I hate when they do this boohoo shit over women while running the least charismatic rat fucked campaigns. Wearing pink and holding a sign when they need people wearing red white and blue and open carrying the constitution with brimstone fire.

    That being said, I genuinely in my heart think that AOC has a chance. As long as the controlled opposition doesn’t rat fuck her

  • Great point. I’d argue that an extension of individualism is consumption.

    What was the majority positive response to Luigi? Consumption.

  • I’ve got a friend in Quebec that told me that they’d “wish Trump would hurry up already and make Canada the 51st state.” I also know a Canadian trucker that joined the line during that trucker protest over…whatever it was they thought they were protesting.

    I was in Düsseldorf recently and met a UK resident (fluent in German) who was nuts for Musk.

    It’s a problem that has spread to many other countries. In fact, I’d argue that right wing populism is all part of the same swing and it’s only the most cartoonishly evil in America.
