Look at the percentages.

German politics is not first past the post like in UK/US.

The CDU still have to build a majority coalition to govern and that is where the complications start to creep in.

And as the AFD share grows the question of ignoring the will of the people will start to be increasingly raised.

:hubie:
He has vowed not to work with the Nazis
I don't care how many votes they got,they lost

The thread title got people in here posting as if the AfD won and will be running the country
No one is going to work with those clowns

The Republicans here have been the majority in Congress for how long?
No one considered them victors when they lost the elections

Yes, there's concern but including the Nazis in the title is nothing but fear mongering and misinformation
The German Conservatives are not Nazis
You should at least point that out to smooth brain Coli members

I don't fukk with Germany at all,but they're not trying to go back to their past
They had to work extra hard to become a superpower after the wars
No way in hell they're letting East Germany fukk that up.. again
4 years is a long time

i'm not. you said "politics".

How many german political programs have you ever watched, is my point.

If the answer is "next to none" you are not in a strong position to make assertions about german political culture.

Even the way germans approach those sorts of discussions is different.

Same for social culture and history.

The UK and the US have shared language and still I would not take the word of a brit that he was an expert in american political culture without evidence.

Here you are not speaking a word. No examples. No city social clustering.

So tell me then, how are they culturally similar. Spell it out.



The taxi driver's view of germany.

You need a bit more than that.



Long term 2. Mid term - 5. Visited multiple times - all of the big ones.

Worked in german. Bought property in germany. Issued contracts in german.

I speak C1 german and can understand most conversations. I could survive there without speaking a word of english, if i wanted to.

When I first started working in Germany I visited everywhere. Including the wild east. Maybe I have been to 50 cities more than once. I have lost count.

To list them would take too long.

All in more than 10 years. Easily. I am going back to germany in two weeks, to fix my car (german) and sort out some bills.

I have a german bank account, I have taken exams in german, I have a german driving license, a german home ..

Do you have a German PAWG?

Their population and influence in the world are decreasing.
Which is wild, because if they hadn't done all of this...nobody was "out to get them" or anything like that, shyt was supposed to just be more colorful and inclusive, and not as racist lol so whats wild is...the nefarious nature it takes to react so negatively to that. It's some evil shyt fr

So in addition to being reductionist you’re kind of an elitist. Many of the taxi drivers, waiters et al were professionals in the country that they’ve lived. A tax driver with a German bank account, who has taken exams, speaks V1 level German, and has a German apartment can give just as informed opinion of German politics as any one else.

that is what you took from that :mjlol:

bit slow aren't you.

they could be einstein himself driving those taxis but they are still derivative sources of information rather than you being able to observe the politics itself directly. i.e. someone else's interpretation. and a narrow group at that.

i never said anything about the quality of their opinions du depp.

like i am going to found my opinion on american politics based on what new york taxi drivers have told me :mjlol: maybe you need to read other sources, watch politicians speak, observe multiple elections, watch chat shows, speak to work colleagues (at all levels).. in german.

read FAZ, der spiegel, focus ..

lawd ha mercy.

don't @ me anymore.

AFD is so bad that even Le Pen and her far right group have dropped them apparently

They talk about deporting not just illegal immigrants and asylum seekers but German citizens who have shown "insufficient integration". They also like talking race realism stuff. At least Le Pen tries to claim there can be integration into French culture (without going too far).
