Holocaust? Wasn’t ‘genocide’ drastic enough anymore?

Its news because it happened in a public setting. Neonazis are less afraid than ever to show their true face even on social media.

In comparison to other countries far right positions are far less common. The post-war generation really changed the society. For example the far right AFD has less than 15 % of public votes (compared to ~30 % in other European countries) and racism – while present – is far less common than for example in China, Russia, US or Japan.

Its not perfect, but the fact that people shouting far right phrases making national news, shows that the german society hasn’t shifted as far to the right as other countries.

The funny part is: the authorities warned him a long time ago, for example 2023 {https://www.fr.de/politik/verfassungsschutz-maximilian-krah-afd-sorgen-verfassungsschutz-china-kontakte-tbl-zr-92575131.html) and the warnings go back as far as 2019.

Poor countries you can exploit: Nepal, Kazakhstan, India, Usbekistan, etc.

I personally think the role of the soviet union in WW2 is underappreciated, too! But thats my point: soviet union, not Russia! The majority of victims in WW2 where Ukrainians, Latvians, Estonians, Poles, Belarusians and Lithuanians – the same countries now fighting Russia (except for Belarusia)!

Russia never was the good guy and Putin deserves nothing of the praise for the soviet unions role in WW2. Maybe invite the Poles, Ukrainians or Baltics insteac!

And instead stop advancing AI and other high tech? Or where should the people working in manufacturing come from?

Thats not how embassies work. Embassies aren’t a ‘you get out of jail free’ card. Hitler or Putin couldn’t just hide at an embassy and thats it.

Itt works in a way, that one state offers a second one a piece of land under its protection. That piece of land belongs to the second state as long as the first state allows it. If they want to claim it back, they have to go through a formal process.

Thats why the actions of Ecuador are unheard of: they offered Mexico a piece of their land under their protection. And then they violated it.

Israel attacked an embassy of Iran under Syria’s protection. Thats not off the limits but of course can be seen as an attack from both countries.

Okay… i should have made it more precise: attacking a foreign embassy on your own ground. Basically the idea of an embassy is that its protected by the state, in which is located and its counted as soil of the embassies state.

Here is it explained in more detail: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/02/world/europe/interpreter-israel-syria-embassy.html

Still. Raiding embassies is the worst you can do. Its basically an invasion of a foreign country. Even states like Russia do not do that.

So its fake news because he isnt a member of the green party – and actually never was an advocate of the end of nuclear energy. He was vocal about increasing the run time of nuclear reactors in the public, actually. Also, all german parties – except for the far right – were part of the process and at one point or another confirmed it. There is just no majority in Germany for nuclear power. One of the reasons is the high price (see France, which needs to subsidize their energy prices with billions each year to stay competitive), but also the problem with nuclear waste, which no one wants. Its not like in the US, where we have lot of empty space where no one is bothered.

Still, the public debate is intense, even though nuclear power was only at 5–10 %. Meanwhile in the last year alone renewables producing 4 % of the energy demand were built. And each year lost by debating, more fossil fuels are burned.

Thats straight up wrong.

1. They didn’t retire them early, but decided not to upgrade them. They where 40 years old and needed massive maintenance now.

2. Germany was highly dependent on russian gas with nuclear as well – even more, if you consider that Germany got its Uranium from Russia, too. Also Gas and Nuclear Energy fulfill a completly different function. Nuclear is not really flexible, so its a baseload source. Gas is highly flexible, which is the reason its a peak load source. Nuclear competes with renewables and a bit with coal, but not with gas.

3. No idea where you got this Fakenews, but no politican of the german greens was involved in any scandal with Russia – in fact its the opposite: they have been the most vocal anti-Russia party for years now and warned about dependence on Russia for the last decade already.

Germany has drastically reduced their coal share, too. Just look at this Chart: https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/sites/default/files/medien/384/bilder/3_abb_bruttostromerzeugung-et_2023-11-24.png

In 2023 the share of coal decreased to 26.1 % of all electricity – which is close to other nations like the US with 20 % coal. In fact, per kWh germany produces on average 380 g of CO2, while the US produces 389 g, which is half of Poland’s 690 g CO2 per kWh.

I know its a meme at this point to shit on the german electricity market, but the sucess in the last 5 years is something other countries should admire, especially countries like Poland who claim to heavily invest in nuclear power, while they are in fact do nothing at all – and except for maybe France. They are 2nd to none in terms of CO2 emissions, even though they pay a hefty price for that.

That’s maybe like that in the US, but not in Germany. To this day we have like 50 % contracts that have unlimited calls, 10ish GB of data and a fixed price of ~9 ct per text.

So Russia’s worse than Hitlers’s Germany?

I just checked: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation

Since the end of the cold war (1991), only China, Russia and Norway annexed territory. Norway’s annexed parts didn’t belong to any other state, though. And you can debate if Israel is currently annexing the Gaza strip, but on paper it was Israeli already.

So yes, its Russias and Chinas stance.

Thats only Chinas and Russias stance. Unfortunately the UN has no power at all.

Definitely not ‘unprecedented’. In Germany is a FSB Agent currently in jail for killing a dissident of Russia.

But blocking arms and ressource shipments to Russia is not an Option, because (and that is a quote): ‘We are advocating to going back to diplomacy and value the territorial integrity of every country, but do not intervene into internal affairs of Russia.’

How is the unprovoked attack of Russia on Ukraine something to not intervene, but the war of Israel on Palestine after the attack of Hamas on October 7th is?

That’s just double standards exposed. Either you see yourself as a global power, supporting weaker countries and the right side or you focus on your internal affairs and do not intervene. But only supporting countries if it fits your own strategy is inconsistent.

Edit: Nevermind, its just unions blocking the arms deals, not the government.

Its not run by the US, but by all permanent members. China and Russia are doing the same shit, see Ukraine for example.
