Ooops

Nobody ever needed an SUV to be safe. But companies need to stop selling reasonable sized cars if favor of SUVs to maximize they gains…

Welcome to the German gerontocracy. The obsolute majority gives a fuck about anything other than living their remaining years as well as possible, conservative politicians have completely abondoned actual topics, positions and discussions for the most rediculous culture war bullshit imaginable and the media is parroting their narratives 24/7.

Any actual progress is drowned in propaganda to reverse its effect (for example the law change to reduce co2 in the heating sector managed -after months of lies and desinformation- to create a massive boom in gas-heating instead).

And just yesterday the CDU in opposition (and biggest party by polls) demanded to revert the EU’s ban on combustion engines (that doesn’t exist in the first place but is just a conclusion following co2 reduction goals) and other climate goals (including those implmentd by them years ago) because we can’t strain German people and the economy with “EV madness”…

Dir ist doch nicht etwa aufgefallen, dass die von der FDP öffentlich gelobte “Technologieoffenheit” schon im Erstentwurf enthalten war und sie das trotzdem nicht abhalten konnte, das Gesetz noch 3-4 mal zu blockieren um das, was bereits drin stand, nochmal zu fordern? Wie konnte das bloß passieren, wo es doch so subtil war, dass es professionelle Journalisten scheinbar nicht bemerkt haben?

Why are the AfD’s actual narratives and goals still sugar-coated in every international retelling?

No they did not “discuss expelling immigrants from the country”.

The discussed nothing less than the deportation of immigrants, German citizens with a generational immigration background and for good measure also adding German citizens not agreeing to that.

Nee, Ablenkung: Es ist egal, wenn die Leute noch hundert mal klar für das Verbrenner-Aus abstimmen. Am Ende haben sie dann nämlich gar nicht gemerkt, wie ein weiteres Propaganda-Märchen (es gibt gar kein Verbrenner-Aus!) Teil des öffentlich Diskurses geworden ist. Und Konservative können noch über Jahre hinweg mit Forderungen Stimmung machen, die längst erfüllt sind.

Behind closed doors in the actual workings of the EU things are different.

But there is an universal law that you can always dress unpopular but neccessary EU decisions or compromises as “Germany made us do it” at home and can always get bonus points if you tell the story how you bravely fought Germany to push through a popular EU decision.

Basically the same propaganda for domestic a audience in slightly modified form that Orban has made an art form in Hungary.

Hey Manuela from paragraph two, you should talk to Manuela from paragraph one.

Pointing out that this idiocy only works with a massive amount of cognitive dissonance is nothing new…

and falsely imply that they are being

antisemitic

No, in the majority of cases this is not a false implication but a documented fact. And even if they are not antisemites themselves those people are always happy to stand side-by-side with antisemites if those amplify their messaging, but out of the completely wrong reasons.

Germany actually has a stricter domestic law already than what the EU is doing here.

But reality of course never matters. As long as Europeans can tell themselves the fairy tale of how they successfully fought those bad Germans for every slightly positive achievement, they are happy. Even if it’s actually too little or meaningless or just virtue-signaling. Or several of those things combined…

Er ist offenbar besorgt, durch den von den Grünen initiierten Niedergang Deutschlands und wir müssen jetzt ganz dringend zuhören, auf ihn zugehen und ihm klar machen, dass wir seine Ängste verstehen!

Talking about ‘Gotland’ and a ‘maritime shadow war’ might provide some clues to what might happen to Russian ships trying to attack that island. *cough*

Just the the usual Russian posturing bullshit…

Nope, this is “Your system ran out of memory and now this program isn’t reacting anymore (it’s trying to allocate memory but there is no free memory left). Please stop the program or try to get rid of some of its subprocesses to free up memory.”

Nope, it needs governmental regulations.

Financing-wise renewable energy has long surpassed fossil fuels. It’s not capitalists in general blocking the change as they would make a lot of money. This is very specifically about a small amount of individuals making their money in fossil fuels and spending a lot on lobbying to slow the transition down as they try to squeeze as much out of their business model as possible before it runs against a wall they can already see (but try to hide from the consumer).

The same is true in other sectors, for example in traffic where totally insane bullshit gets pushed (hyper-loops, air taxis etc.) as magical alternatives to actually working public transport. That’s also not some business that will ever make money. It’s a diversion by people who want to keep making money in a very specific field (CE cars) before that whole sector also dies off. Also the scaling effect in EV production as well as improvements and development still have a massive potential with much money to be made by the people investing into a still developing and growing market. Unlike the dying market of combustion engines that competes on miniscule optimisations of the status quo still possible. Yet the very same companies knowing that combustion engines are dead and not even working on developing a next line but instead focusing on electric drives, still do marketing like the opposite would be true so they can sell that trash with no future perspective as long as possible.

There is quiet a lot to say against capitalism, but at the moment we don’t have a capitalism problem (at least not where climate action is involved) but one of corruption that helps a few people to keep failing businesses alive a bit longer at the expense of everyone including capitalists in the future businesses that will replace them.

Obviously the emissions are the controllable. Blaming this on El Niño […]

Nobody is actually blaming anything on El Niño. El Niño simply covered up how bad it was already for some time.
Which also means those emissions are indeed not controllable. Because they have happened years ago and we still can’t do time travel. That’s the whole actual point of talking about El Niño here.

Congratulations. You are part of the problem.

Actual statistics and basically every poll show that the vast majority of people agrees and wants to do much more to address climate change on a personal and government level. And just like you most of them are suffering from propaganda-induced brain rot and believe that they are totally alone with that opinion so it unfortunately has no sense to even try. So they don’t.

So… Getting better while China doesn’t creates the effect of reducing emmissions by… let’s say 40%.

The effect of crying about China as an excuse to not do anything yourself however is 0!

Which on will you chose?

It’s also the leader in building up renewables instead while everyone else sits lazily on their ass crying “why should we do anything when China exists?”

How about we do better than China first and then cry about them, instead of using them as an excuse to fail even harder than them?

Correct. There are however a lot of solutions that a) don’t produce co2 and b) are more efficient and cheaper already, very much more so once they are properly scaled up.

So you could in fact throw money at the problem… And even those who refuse to follow the change will simply go bunkrupt over it because fossil fuels aren’t even economically viable in comparison.

Weil dann müßten sie ja etwas umstellen und nicht wie sonst auch immer weitermachen.

Wein unter Photovoltaik, Mais rein für die Energieerzeugung abschaffen, und dafür dann sinnvollere Dinge anbauen wäre halt möglich und würde wahrscheinlich bessere Gesamtergebnisse einbringen. Aber das ist mit der Bauen-Ideologie oft nunmal nicht zu vereinbaren.

Oder das ist schon wieder so eine deutsche Besonderheit, dass Weinanbau unter Photovoltik in Frankreich funktioniert aber nicht in Deutschland. So wie Wärmepumpen in Skandinavien funktionieren aber es in Detuschland dafür zu kalt ist…

Weil wenn man deren Misswirtschaft, wie beispielsweise Mais nur zur Energieerzeugung, was elendig ineffizient ist, nicht mit Steuergeldern belohnt, steigen die wieder in Ihre Trecker und gefährden mit nachts auf der Straße plazierten Hindernissen Leben, bis man einlenkt.

Bauern halt… oder wie war das korrekte Wort für so ein Verhalten?
