    fun fact: this far right extremist party is also the second strongest party in germany, with the strongest being very closely aligned to their values!

      That is not true - they are not currently the second strongest.

      there are some polls where this party is seen as a strong contender for future elections.

        no, not currently. I worded that wrong. They’re gonna be the second strongest party according to polls and general vibe of the country rn. The fascists are coming back, and they’re coming back strong. Attacks against jewish and queer people have risen rapidly. Fuck, even i’ve been the victim of a fascist attack.

      That’s not very accurate, the current chancellor and Germany in general are very left-leaning outside the very catholic regions.

        the german government right now is a horrible neoliberal mess trying to greenwash their actions

        they are not left at all

        if they were, we wouldn’t need Last Generation blocking roads.

        The chancellor’s party is center-left in the typical European social democrat way, he himself is more of a moderate. But the current coalition polls at around 40%, so calling Germany very left-leaning is a very optimistic statement.
