@zeitonline Widerwärtige Hetze und Relativierung von Faschismus. Das liberale Bürgertum am Limit.

[Jan Friedrich @MrFolderol]

@MariamLau1 Schöne Schuldumkehr: Wenn der Faschismus zurück nach Deutschland kommt, dann ist es Schuld der politischen Linken. Gefährlich, hetzerisch und geschichtsvergessen.

[Anita Zsurzsan 🇵🇸 🕎 @iamjourjean]

Since I engaged with news covering Die Linke, I see way more German political discourse on the tl, an I can tell you with maximum clarity that the Germans are still fucked in the head

[Rakesh Kumar @Rakeshhkumaar]

Imagine if Stalin or Mao had threatened to annihilate an entire nation from the UN podium. Western media would use it forever as proof of communist barbarism. But when an American president does it, they call it foreign policy.

[Jan Friedrich @MrFolderol]

@ChikeDottin @aporia9n In Germany the purchasing power of median households isn't much lower than that of their US counterparts. Difference is US has more wealth at the very top and more destitution at the bottom.

[Jan Friedrich @MrFolderol]

@ChikeDottin @aporia9n Yet it's also part of the country. You won't weasel yourself out of this. The failure of destitution in the US is a thing because the country runs on a defective, inhumane system that yes, creates a lot of wealth for the rich and also a lot of destitution for the poor.

[Jan Friedrich @MrFolderol]

@ChikeDottin @aporia9n It counts because it also has a massive homelessness and destitution problem, like many places in the US.

[Jan Friedrich @MrFolderol]

@ChikeDottin @aporia9n Additionally, you're wrong about Berlin specifically, were wealth actually is slightly lower than the German average.

[Jan Friedrich @MrFolderol]

@ChikeDottin @aporia9n Moving goalposts. After your absurd claim that the places were 40 million Americans live aren't 'representative' of the country's was proven false you now just move on to something else. But you're wrong there too. Nowhere in Germany looks like NYC, LA, also not the countryside.

[Jan Friedrich @MrFolderol]

@ChikeDottin @aporia9n And 30 isn't. And that's a fact. What now?

[Jan Friedrich @MrFolderol]

@aubetony Middle class Europeans aren't travelling is such an absurdly wrong take it's actually pretty funny.

[Jan Friedrich @MrFolderol]

@derspiegel Die gesamte Hauptstadtpresse ist in so einer absurden Blase gefangen. "Von fast allen gelobt." Redet ihr mal mit einfachen Leuten? Oder mit Sozialverbänden? Wirklich niemand dort lobt die Pläne.

[Jan Friedrich @MrFolderol]

@KevInKCMO17 @CarrotsMany @txgermanbre It's not *cherry picked* You just literally didn't show German houses but garden colonies, i.e. places were people who have *houses elsewhere* have an *additional garden* to hang out.

[Jan Friedrich @MrFolderol]

@ChikeDottin @aporia9n And, lastly, it's nice that you think major German cities aren't also super diverse or undergoing demographic changes, as the right-wingers here complain about that all the time. Work migration in the 50s-70s, wars in the 90s, refugees in 2015, Ukrainians in 2022, and so on.

[Jan Friedrich @MrFolderol]

@ChikeDottin @aporia9n Rural areas in Germany and especially suburbs can also be quite affluent, you know. Poverty concentrates in cities in many places, for a multitude of reasons.

@zeitonline Bei der Zeit bekommt man wenigstens noch wahren investigativen Journalismus.

[Jan Friedrich @MrFolderol]

@derspiegel Richtig. Das Leben der Menschen wird grundlegend schlechter.
