Far-Right Party Heads For Its Strongest Result Yet In Germany's Election​

Alternative for Germany is also fielding its first candidate to lead the country.

Even though it’s highly unlikely to take a share of power soon, it has become a factor that other politicians can’t ignore and helped shape Germany’s debate on migration.

This is how Trump got started. At first everyone laughed. No way he would win.

The far-right party first entered Germany’s national parliament eight years ago on the back of discontent with the arrival of large numbers of migrants in the mid-2010s, and curbing migration remains its signature theme. But the party has proven adept at harnessing discontent with other issues: Germany’s move away from fossil fuels, restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic and support for Ukraine after Russia’s full-scale invasion nearly three years ago.

So don't think this can't happen in Germany AGAIN! You probably have the same number of liberals in Germany as we have here in America. And what about the people in Germany who don't vote now but will vote for this new party? This is what happened here in America.

24% of German's don't vote. This new conservative power will get them to vote. And a lot of people will leave the liberal party. Watch.

Chapter I.

You are missing out onto the IMO main factor, that differentiates Germany vastly from the USA, which is Germany's multi party landscape.

It certainly is a negative when it comes to forming a "capable" coalition government.
It's however a huge benefit when it comes to segregating/providing a political home for radical parties - but keeping them out from being able to influence or passing laws through parliament.

German's in majority don't need some radical party to point out known and disliked political decisions. The frustration about migrants and the absurd political handling of social benefits to them, and more or less allowing them to be above the law - hasn't gone unnoticed at all.

After the conservative party CDU/CSU had decided to change it's standing on that matter - reporters asked the "hilarious" question:
Okay, so now what differentiates the CDU/CSU from the AfD?
Well - it's understood that such questions had been brought in by Lefty/Libs - simply trying to falsely highlight that a "reasonable" migrant policy - would be on par with the AfD's hardcore program.

In the past 8 month however, the two strongest parties have made it evidentially clear to themselves and the public, that Germany's factual problems are not migration, but the future economic and energy layout/policy of the country.

And the AfD has again demonstrated, that it has no clue nor the heads "experts", to come up with a profound plan as to how to tackle this issue. - but simply complaining and pointing out well known issues, and highlighting the migrant issue - just as MAGA's.

Chapter II.

What might very well cause a huge reorientation in German and European politics, is the present betrayal by the present US administration in regards to it's European NATO members and Ukraine. As usual the USA kickes off the problem that results in a war - and then tries to run away from it - leaving it's allies in chaos. See, Syria, Lybia, Iraq, Afgahnistan and now Ukraine.

China !! all the time the USA has been crying about China planing to attack Taiwan etc, etc. - thus getting NATO, Japan, S-Korea, NZ and Australia into it's "alliance efforts" - and TODAY, Trump stated; We will also place Tarrifs onto Taiwan, since they took away our chip and Hi-tech industry !! - you can bet that TODAY Taipeh and Beijing took up incresed diplomatic talks.

Due to history- aka end of WW2 - Germany's present political parties have been dominated and kind of controlled by the USA. Which had never allowed for a German view or policy in regards to its national security or foreign policy matters. This applies foremost to the CDU/CSU/FDP and to a lesser extend onto the SPD. Whilst the BSW, LINKE and AfD are clearly opposed to US dominance.

Therefore a "necessary" alliance between those German parties that not just reject US dominance and NATO, but also have a feasable plan in their pockets might very well get to rise. One such Party could be the BSW, going into an alliance with even with the AfD.

Well let's see the poll results on FEB. 23rd.
And this will be the beginning off much greater problems since NONE of these probable coalitions will have the required % to enact or change any laws. Therefore it will be at first an endless squabble about gaining a majority approval amongst all party parliamentarians to change respective individual laws. And not a single party or a disliked coalition dominating the process as in the past 75 years.

Greeks are Greeks, Egyptians are Arabs. Like I said, I don't have the time or inclination to instruct you.

Go to Egypt - take a look at the people, their dialects and culture traits - and then tell them they are Arabs

In 1931, following a visit to Egypt, Syrian Arab nationalist Sati'al-Husri remarked that:

"[Egyptians] did not possess an Arab nationalist sentiment; did not accept that Egypt was a part of the Arab lands, and would not acknowledge that the Egyptian people were part of the Arab nation."

Egyptian nationalist leader Saad Zaghlul met the Arab delegates at Versailles in 1918, he insisted that their struggles for statehood were not connected, claiming that the problem of Egypt was an Egyptian problem and not an Arab one

BTW - Egyptian rising nationalism was termed Pharaonism

Modern Egyptians are only 17% Arab according to their DNA, with the rest of modern Egyptians' genetic makeup being 68% North African, 4% Jewish, 3% East African, 3% from Asia Minor and another 3% South European

I have in fact been to Egypt twice and have seen them and heard them and they are indeed Arabs.

It seems like the right in Germany is trying to use the exact same blueprint Trump used to win here in America. Let's see if they are successful. This conversation reminds me of this op ed from 2005

Nobles Need Not Pay Taxes

A new aristocracy is taking over not just the United States of America but also the world. ... This is more than just a tax cut story.

A new aristocracy is taking over not just the United States of America but also the world.....

And, as George H.W. Bush pointed out when he was president, this isn't just an American phenomenon. It's a New World Order.

I went from Cairo to Luxor to Aswan and did not spend a single day at a pool since none of the hotels had one. I also had a neighbor in Athens who was Copt who I knew well and she may have had a somewhat closer connection to the ancients as Copts do but still none as close as any Greek to their ancients.

Remember yesterday I posted a op ed about how what's happening here is happening all over the world? I was just reading about Putin and it dawned on me. It already happened in Russia.

Putin was president 2000-2008. Then liberal Medvedev was president but only for 4 years.

Medvedev was seen as more liberal than Vladimir Putin. Medvedev's agenda as president was a wide-ranging modernisation programme, aimed at modernising Russia's economy and society (JUST LIKE BIDEN), and lessening the country's reliance on oil and gas (JUST LIKE BIDEN). During Medvedev's tenure, Russia recovered from the Great Recession. Medvedev also launched an anti-corruption campaign, yet was later accused of corruption himself. SOUND FAMILIAR?

I noticed also Putin was president, then for 4 years was not, and then came back to be president again. Sound familiar?

50-somethings​

• Average net worth: $1,132,532 (ages 50-54), $1,442,075 (ages 55-59)
• Median net worth: $272,800 (ages 50-54), $320,700 (ages 55-59)

I'm well above the Median. How about the rest of you? Impossible you're doing as well as me. Not with that job and if you have 2 or more kids. Hopefully you are in a union and going to get a pension some day.

This is how you separate winners and losers in America. Doesn't matter if you are 100% Greek or not. Being 100% Greek is just something 100% Greeks are proud of. Our people have a great history. The Irish are England's white trash. Nothing to be proud of.

Japanese are very proud to be 100% Japanese. But they are starting to evolve or come around. Japan is a relatively homogeneous society, but it has many ethnic minorities and is becoming more diverse. Still 98.1% of Japan is Japanese. Because they are proud to be Japanese. Or are they racist? I'm not sure. Maybe one of you know the answer.

For the record, my nephew is seriously dating a wonderful half black girl. She's hot. We like her. I'm more concerned she comes from a broken family than I am her ethnicity. But we do all wish he would have found a Greek girl. But if he's happy, we're happy. I will love his mutt kids just the same. I'll never tell them they aren't real Greeks. I'll fool them like Meathead has been fooled into thinking he's a real Greek.

If they speak, behave and demonstrate the respective culture - why shouldn't a mixed person be a Greek??
I would estimate that today's Greek people are to more then 70% intermixed with various Balkan ethnicities and Turk people.

What is an American? they are ALL intermixed with numerous European ethnicities, right down to being mixed with Africans, Middle-easterners, Asians and also indigenous people. You mean there are supposed to be light-skinned, middle and dark-skinned Americans fighting/competing for being solely eligible to call themselves Americans?

Very true about having Turk blood running through our veins. I can't deny that. They enslaved us for 400 years. Longer than blacks in America were slaves. Did you know that?

Move to Switzerland. Learn the language. Try to fit in. You will NEVER fit in. They will always see you as an oursider.

Elon Musk will never be an African American.

Trust me, I have two Greek parents. Their parents are Greek. My brothers wife is 100% Greek. She's also Canadian and American. But guess what? She's 100% Greek. Coming from 100% Greek blood parents. It matters.

Half Greek ain't bad. We would take that over someone who isn't Greek at all.

Even if you can speak the language and lived there for a couple years. You'll NEVER be as Greek as them or me.

Don't worry America has this same history with mavros.

During the slavery era, the prevalent rule regarding partial Black ancestry was the "one-drop rule," which stated that if a person had even a single drop of African ancestry, they were considered Black and therefore enslaved, regardless of their appearance or how small the percentage of African heritage was.

Before the American Civil War, free individuals of mixed race (free people of color) were considered legally white if they had less than either one-eighth or one-quarter African ancestry (only in Virginia).

So Greeks aren't the only ones who value their ethnicity.

Even though I kind a like the photo - it doesn't really demonstrate the factual present extremely worry-some and sad situation.

The better photo would be IMO:

a rabies ridden Great Dane, trotting alongside a large rabies ridden Wolf - with both holding a rather dumb and obese looking Shepherd on their individual leashes, and a panicking fear ridden Chihuahua (Ukraine) hanging on the leash of that Shepherd.

Whilst in the background you got this really big Tibetan Mastiff, happily wiggling his tail and having the day of his life in the snow.
