Swedish news media keeps presenting Sahra Wagenknecht as a "left-wing radical". Like today, when Dagens Nyheter published a rather long political portrait of Wagenknecht. Nothing wrong with the text in itself: while it (reasonably) labels BSW as a "left-wing party", it does not present it as "radical" but rather makes clear that most of Wagenknecht's politics is rather centrist.

Nevertheless, Dagens Nyheter added the word "left-wing radical" both in the title AND the lead paragraph.

This really demonstrates a kind of centrist logic, unable to think that pro-Putinism can occur not only at the political "extremes" but in the centre as well.
(This should really be an obvious insight if one just looks back 20 years in German history.)

Russian opposition holds anti-war march in Berlin


The event's participants are calling for Russia's withdrawal from Ukraine, the release of #political #prisoners, and to try Putin as a #WarCriminal, Deutsche Welle reported.

The event, which had been planned in advance, took place the same day as #Russia launched one of its largest strikes on Ukrainian cities and the energy grid, killing and injuring civilians.

While the German police estimated the initial number of participants to be 1,800, the independent news outlet Meduza counted up to 6,000-7,000 people

Internet cable between Helsinki and Rostock has been "cut".

No further information about the incident than that the damage is in the cabling.

Marine cable scattered between Finland and Germany, is cut

According to the news published by Yle in 2022 , it is the only cable that runs exactly the same route as the Russian gas pipelines.

One alarming possibility about the USA potentially becoming an autocracy: extremist acts—many driven by fascist ideologies—could gain significant influence in other nations. Just as the US shapes global societies culturally, scientifically, politically, militarily, and artistically, its descent into authoritarianism might amplify similar movements worldwide, which is a trend since a long time and the far right movement is one of the biggest menaces to the democratic world.

When Hitler rose to power, fascism and tyranny was sparking across Europe. His regime was the most notorious fascist government in history. As nazi Germany became a dominant force that precipitated World War II, how did its relative success embolden fascist movements in other countries? References welcome.

Neo-Nazis marching on the streets of #Berlin undisturbed by police. They were registered as a 'counter-demonstration' & allowed to walk 400m behind a queer-feminist protest on the same route. They even brought their kids out. That's how comfortable neo-Nazis are in #Germany today. /Jüdisches Forum


No military support to Israel, says German “people”…

See how far apart the government and people stand in #Germany. (No singularity in this world btw)

This is the official Berlin city description of No Man’s Land, a movie co-directed by an Israeli Jew and a Palestinian Arab about the Israeli occupation.

German politics is f-ed up, grotesque and insulting on so many levels. Devoid of any self-awareness, and they’re only getting worse.

Let me present the essence of Germanness. The "Bonusheft".
It might be worth thousands in savings for dental work if you can prove an entry for a check-up every year for the last ten years (mine goes back to the late classical aera).

But now, it turns out, it's defunct. But gets serviced anyway. "Better keep it. Who knows what'll happen in two years" is my dentist's advice.

And I fear that the current and upcoming German parliament are not ready to make the necessary decisions. We not only must talk about increasing our defense capabilities, but also invest seriously and tightly controlled into our future defense. And #Europe must stay unified in a time, when both #Trump and #Putin will attempt to divide us and spread distrust among us. #germany


#Germany reduced gas imports from Russia to zero. #France, #Spain, the #Netherlands, #Italy, and #Belgium continue to import LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) in significant amounts from #Russia. Why? (Source: ieefa.org/european-lng-tracker… )


Has anyone read "They Thought They Were Free"? I haven't, but I just saw it mentioned & looks like I should.

"They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45 is a 1955 nonfiction book written by Milton Mayer, published by the University of Chicago Press. It describes the thought process of ordinary citizens during Nazi Germany.

August Heckscher, the chief writer of editorials of the New York Herald Tribune, wrote that the book "suggests how easy it is for human beings in any society to fall prey to a dynamic political movement, provided their lives are sufficiently insecure, frustrated or empty."[1] He stated that the book is simultaneously a discussion on ethics, on "how political tyranny is established", and on issues in Germany and the "German mentality".[1]"

My apologies in advance because I know today has been hard for most people, but it's worth noting that the German coalition government has just collapsed. Talk about bad timing.

Expect Putin to plough money into the AfD to try and engineer a far-right takeover, and for Trump to let him get away with it.

I'm afraid we're living in dark times.
