I think Alice Weidel is among the most intelligent politicians in Germany, she’s simply a neoliberal ghoul who guises that with Nazism. To her, the anti-immigration, anti-LGBTQ+, misogynistic politics are simply a means of making more austerity, more severe restrictive labour laws, and more free market policies palatable to the German populace. It’s simple opportunism.
Sounds like a dream to me, tbh. Imagine becoming, say, a physicist only to end up being a code monkey for IBM waiting for your AI replacement only to wait for you eventual re-hire for less pay because the AI sucks ass.
Y’know, Nixon was also ultimately responsible for the extensive bombing of Cambodia and the extension of the Vietnam war, both of which killed millions (the former by laying the ground work for the rise of the Khmer Rouge) BUT the important part was that he spied in Democrats! Not to defend Trump, he’s a vile removed that would serve the world best as fertiliser, but his legacy doesn’t even remotely hold a candle to the likes of Nixon, Dubya, Truman/Eisenhower etc.
My mother speaks German and my father Tajik, natively. They speak Russian with one another. I speak both of their native languages but only have a very basic grasp of Russian, since we moved to Germany when I was very young, still. My older brother speaks all three.
