Comment on What was life like for the "average" person living in Nazi Germany

  If you have such a simplified world view, you will be disappointed too. If you can’t see that the project of European integration, mainly driven by France and Germany, was standing up for good, I wonder what else you are thinking. As someone living in a bordering country I appreciate we didn’t have wars within the EU in my life time.

  Of course you can always ask for more, but thats just such a simplified take, its annoying.

  Merz was CEO of Black Rock Germany, we will follow Daddy Trumpys footsteps with eagerness in our delusional eyes

    Why so focused on USA? Not a fan of Merz at all, but thinking he is cozying up to Trump is quite the leap. EPP parties are generally not super into Trumpism. Thats more the Putin-lovers in the real right, that do that

      The CSU, the bavarian sister of the CDU and party who runs the ministry of the interior had meetings with Trumps republicans to learn how to do Trumpism from them.

      Merz said he supports Trumps demand for 5% of the German BIP being used for military expenses. That corresponds to half of the total government budget in Germany.

      The new government is even more fiercely pro Israel than the previous one and like the US attacks the authority of the ICC and ICJ, which are core institutions of a rules based international order and by extension European integration.

        There is a big difference between critisising a government and damning a whole country. Critisizing the now governments stance regarding their stance on Israel is somithing else than what you said. The way how this is formulated above is just short-sighted and generalizing in the same way as those on the side of the fascists do…

        to add to that, Merz was the chairman of a huge number of big corporations, said himself he travelled to the US over 170 times and is a “incorrigible optimist” when it comes to the USA (his words), he absolutely adores ultra-capitalism and has the exact same conservative ideas as the republican party. We sold out in order not to get the AfD elected, but elected a party that is just as extreme, just 5 years behind.
