While Germany has a far-right party, the AfD, Alternative für Deutschland, which received 10.4% of the vote in 2021, there really is no equivalent to the low-brow MAGA movement in the United States.
Perhaps that’s because the average German is far better educated than most modern-day Americans, or because Germany underwent one of world history’s most catastrophic events in terms of humanitarianism in the 1930s/40s, and the remembrance of it continues to affect the national ethos.
In any case, as shown at left, the vast majority of the German people understand that environmentalism is the only thing that can possibly save our home planet from ruin. There is something to be said for that.
Admiral McRaven made this statement in 2020; God only knows what he’s thinking about this now.
I continue to wonder how it’s possible that people of honor like out top military commanders don’t simply refuse to comply with orders that are so clearly illegal and immoral.
This country has real problems–ones that actually exist. Here, I mean things like poverty, child hunger, environmental collapse, lousy education, and the absence of affordable healthcare.
I tend to vote for the party that is at least attempting to deal with these.
To the author of the meme here, yes!
I’m proud to be a dissenter of this regime of hate and ignorance, and I’ll go to my grave in precisely that fashion.
