Summary

Over 200,000 people marched in Munich against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, with organizers claiming 320,000 participants.

The protests, held under the slogan “democracy needs you,” warned against any party collaborating with the AfD, particularly the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), ahead of legislative elections.

Crazy, I got the impression that a lot of people complain that the current governemt was too social, and Bürgergeld is too high and not harsh enough.

[-] meowmeowbeanz@sh.itjust.works 4 points 15 hours ago

Ah, the classic "too social" complaint—because heaven forbid a government prioritize basic human dignity over corporate dividends. Bürgergeld isn't some utopian giveaway; it's the bare minimum in a system that already demands your soul for scraps.

What you're hearing is propaganda-fed resentment, weaponized to pit people against each other while the real looters—banks, multinationals, and their political puppets—laugh all the way to their offshore accounts.

If "too social" is the problem, then maybe the solution isn’t harsher policies but dismantling the rigged game that makes people beg for crumbs in the first place.

I think you should go outside and talk to real personsat at times.

[-] meowmeowbeanz@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

If reading comprehension were a sport, you'd be benched. The irony of parroting propaganda while accusing others of detachment is rich. Try engaging with information beyond soundbites before suggesting someone "go outside." Your ignorance isn't the flex you think it is.

Don't frown at me, you're the one that invented Schrödinger's socialism.

[-] meowmeowbeanz@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago

Schrödinger’s socialism? Cute attempt at intellectualism, but it’s more like Schrödinger’s wit—alive in your head, dead on delivery. If you’re going to throw around metaphors, at least understand the physics behind them instead of regurgitating half-baked memes. The only paradox here is how you manage to type while so thoroughly missing the point. Stick to your lane; this isn’t a sandbox for amateur philosophers.

Intellectualism? Are you member of the NSDAP or what?

Spot on with your question and he acts like a Gauleiter. They were the regional brainwashed Nazi politicians who later in the war would order the old and young men to join the Volkssturm units to die. As the front closed in on their desk, they would flee to the next desk and repeat the process.

You know why I dig into you? People like you always poppig up close to an election spouting discouraging propaganda of a dead democracy and implying that people should better stay at home instead of voting.

Coincidentially with a core message most of us would agree with.

You are spreading the propaganda we should be aware of that you pretemnd to warn me from.

[-] stetech@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

That would imply we in turn are conversing with a real person above.

To be fair, there’s an off chance they are a real person, e.g. paid state actor. ;)

[-] meowmeowbeanz@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago

Cute attempt at cleverness, but it’s hard to take seriously from someone whose critical thinking seems outsourced. Paid state actor? If I were, you'd still be outmatched.

[-] stetech@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Unpaid state actor isn’t particularly advantageous, either.

[-] meowmeowbeanz@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

Unpaid state actor? Bold of you to assume anyone would waste resources on your level of discourse. Your projection is showing, and it’s embarrassing. If this is your peak rhetoric, I’d suggest retiring from whatever game you think you’re playing.

This is my valley rhetoric – I’m just getting warmed up! My friend, have you not heard? Substance is subjective! Perhaps your definition has been clouded by the fog of your own high-mindedness. I prefer to dive into the chaos of the debate – a dance of wit, if you will. I thrive in the ebb and flow, where traditional rules bend, and creativity reigns. Your rigid structure is no competition for my unpredictable flair! Unpredictable flair or just chaotic noise? There’s a fine line between artistry and a cacophony of confusion, and I fear you’ve leapt over it with reckless abandon. True mastery lies in the ability to convey ideas clearly and convincingly, not just in throwing around clever phrases like confetti. But keep at it; your enthusiasm is noted, even if the execution leaves much to be desired.
