Bye everyone I’m getting uploaded to the cloud apparently
Tschuss!
Like you know that the kid surely will hit the only lamp post on the whole parking ground while learning to ride the bicycle you know what happens when Markus Söder is in charge.
Of course Bavaria. Everyone one else in Europe is thinking about moving away from US companies but Bavaria is killing of OSS initatives to move to the MS cloud…
- Bavaria is also opposing the ban of combustion engines by 2035
- Bavaria was leading the abolishment of naming of meat like products like “vegan sausage” or “vegan burger”
- Bavaria is openly opposing renewable energy efforts
- Bavaria gives a shit about climate protecting iniatives
- Bavaria is repressing political left and ecological groups
Bavaria, the Texas of Europe
It really is. Nürnberg, München and Starnberger See are lovely though. Possibly other places too. But there’s simply too much old money trying to cling to the status quo and not let go.
Bavaria gives a shit about climate protecting iniatives
“giving a shit” means “caring about”, I think you meant the opposite
Probably wanted to say “shits on”
Yeah in German, the phrase (einen Scheiß geben) means the opposite.
“drauf” fehlt noch :-)
One would think that the former GDR would be doing this instead.
Now let’s please explain how that thought entered you mind and you then thought it plausible enough to state it publicly?
Well, it’s obvious from your condescending and insulting tone that you’re completely right and I’m completely wrong, so there’s no use pretending that it would be in any way valuable for me to present an ‘explanation’.
Their tone might have been a bit sarcastic, but was neither condescending nor insulting.
I for one would like to know why GDR would be more likely than other parts of Germany to adopt these policies.
I think it all boils down to saying “GDR is the antipode to progressive politics”. Which, to me (a huge ignorant on GDR politics) is a rephrasing of “communism=bad”.
Thankfully I can distinguish between communism, authoritarianism, progressivism, conservatism, and whatnot. But, for some reason, the former-GDR lands consistently align with conservative policies.
fair, I shouldn’t have used that tone. Sorry for that.
Einstein’s quote about infinite stupidity comes to mind…
The stupid ones are the people who keep voting for this party, though. Have a Hitler quote for that: “How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don’t think.” (apparently meant without sarcasm)
The politicians are just self-serving assholes.
Tell me
Ty
Lobbyists.
That’s the USA terminology, in Europe it is called corruption.
And no one gives a fuck about it! How can this obvious corruption be tolerated?
- it’s systemic. There’s no representative democracy without some degree of corruption.
- People are alienated from politics: they think that it’s the politician’s job to do politics and disengage (until they feel they get screwed over)
But we have been getting screwed over from day 1
Exactly.
So the only viable strategy (for system that’s screwing us over) is to make the people believe that “there is no alternative” to neoliberalism.
You would think so. But in Germany they are also called lobbyists.
Well yes because lobbying is an actual part of getting the message out to representatives. You’re advocating for them to do something. In itself there’s nothing wrong with lobbying but people just always associate it with quod pro quo corruption shit.
Reminder: Microsoft relocated their headquraters to Munich after they scored the win to abandon LiMux, the first OSS project in a big city. This is just the return on investment. Works very well in a state that doesn’t care for high level corruption.
Not only to Munich, but LITERALLY! around the corner of the CSU headquarters: https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_car&route=48.1780765%2C11.5938809%3B48.177162%2C11.5908394#map=19%2F48.177770%2F11.592011
Bayern, des samma mia! Jawoi!
…
…
:(Of course Bavaria would.
Germany should just abandon that state (and Saxony where all the Nazis are). Together, they are the bane of Germany. One holding it back and the other wanting to make Putin their savior.
A high enough wall surrounding those two states, maybe including Thuringia (Nazis) and Saxony-Anhalt (also Nazis) would be a good first step…
Some of us still have relatives there who are not Nazis.
They have time to get out.
I rather move the Nazis to Saxony.
I guess that explains why there was a dude wearing a literal fucking Hitler mask at sachsonring this year…

Divide Germany you say? I feel like that’s been done before
Must be good beer.
Friends don’t let friends get Microsoft software when they’re drunk.
Bavaria has rarely shown smart political decisions in the last decades.
Kind of just did the worst move possible at every point since Bismarck showed up with a fun idea
This seems unwise.
Söder is not wise
Wrong direction ↪️
Nochmal Bayern!
