MicroWaveGermany updates: AfD tops poll with highest support ever
IncogCyberspaceUserI don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
SanctusDon’t let them get to you. Its like 1000 people doing this. We can change it still.
I wish I believed you. I try to keep my defeatism to myself but the overwhelming majority of people around me IRL are going around like nothing is happening, ignoring current events in the name of self care. Must be fucking nice.
Yeah, I feel you. I'm ruzzian, and I'm mostly sit in my parents' home, cause all around me are dumb as fuck
I’ve been talking with Russians on Reddit. maybe it’s all bots, but most of them really think NATO started the War in Ukraine, that every country in the West has always hated Russia and wants to destroy them, that all the invasions are in self-defense, that attacking the Baltics and Poland would be justified… it was terrifying.
they’re so cynical too - Western news is propaganda, Western democracies are shams, NATO wants to destroy Russia, everyone is Russophobic, that our citizens deserve to suffer for arming Ukraine, that we’d kill them all if we could, so they don’t care if they kill us.
they think they can break NATO, that we will fall apart if Poland is invaded, that Russia will emerge victorious and the Western order will lie in shambles. don’t they see they’re playing with nuclear holocaust? do they care? are they so fatalistic they’d play (apologies) Russian roulette with the extinction of humanity?
I ask you because you seem sane. is this just propaganda from kremlbots, or are most Russians really like this?
Most ruzzians are like this because of cremlin propaganda. It's on all news channels, all celebrities either echoing it, or escaping the country, and than those who left here will run hate campaign against them. Some left three years ago, and they still showing them on TV, calling them traitors and almost straightforward wishing them death. It's just like maga, hating 24/7.
Goddamn… Sneak peak of the near future of America I’m afraid
NaichIs there any context to add which makes it less appalling than it seems?
There isn’t a federal election until 2029, so these polls really don’t matter.
chosensilencethat is not true. it is a snapshot of current voter mentality. if this doesn’t turn around it’s only going to grow and get worse. that’s what this is useful for.
Right and the mentality has almost 4 years to change and a lot of things can happen in 4 years. Which is why the current mentality really doesn’t matter.
You were doing great. I agree with you on the facts, your conclusion is baffling though. The polls don’t matter right this second, but mentality absolutely does. What planet do you live on where cause and effect have no relation?
Well, feel free to worry about the polls every week then.
Here is an articles that explains why these weekly “fake elections” polls might actually be harmful to democracy (German).
Poor effort. Neither subject change relates to what has been said.
And just humor your daftness, there’s actual studies (global) that show indifference and obliviousness to current events are more harmful to democracy than any other single factor
You can see what’s happening in the USA, Germany. That’s really what you want for yourself? Again?
Pretty much all the adults from WWII are dead. Notice we’re doing the same stupid shit? Gilded Age wealth gap, tariffs, fascism, heading for a depression, etc.?
UK, France, and now Germany. The far-right really is winning everywhere huh… What can we do? Is there still hope?
Yeah, we take it to the source: Russian propaganda should be completely cut off from the rest of the internet.
