Conspiracy theories are an outlet. People need a reason for why society is not as good as they feel it could be.
Most people blame the other political party. But that doesn’t work for everybody. The mind keeps looking until it finds a reason, and then it fades out all arguments that oppose it.
We laugh about conspiracy theorists, but most have the same mindset, just with socially acceptable topics.
Russia has supported Syria not only for the port but also to prevent this pipeline:

With the Syrian regime change there is no use for Nord Stream 2. This is an empty threat.
There is no general answer because by default, the majority wins.
For education, I would focus on a small number of communities and pool all resources to figure out what works.
Then use the desire of other communities for the hopefully existing improvements to spread the system.
It’s only the same if most people buy snake oil.
The problem is that most people buy snake oil unless they have reveived a good education.
Makes you wonder why the left is not improving education, even outside the school framework.
People only want to hear about their own problem. If you address all problems you repell everybody because nobody can stand listening to all of them, apart from an insignificant few voters.
Compared to the past it is.
India has shown that access can be provided to almost anybody. Not every country has the same access which I ignored because the topic is the future.
Thanks and I wish you the same in return.
Let me try a final approach. For me, the conversation is ad hominem from the start. I don’t disagree with your judgement of the AfD. My point is that you don’t reason with the AfD but with people who are on the fence of deciding between AfD and other parties. You should’t write your comments for fascists to read but for regular citizens. Being correct is to appeal to them.
The nazis - which we can now officially call nazis, by the way, it can no longer be seen as hyperbole - do not even use words according to their meaning, and they won’t be particularly interested in your view of that matter.
I will read your full comment later. Just note that there is no attestation that they are nazis. So you don’t use the words according to their meaning.
This is becoming a pattern.
Yes I would.
You normalize fake quotes. Then the AfD can also make up quotes and claim that that represents foreigners.
You understand that it is bad when the AfD does it. Generalize that understanding. There can’t be exceptions for fighting the good fight. Everybody thinks they do.
Turkey protects an area within NATO territory whose strategic importance cannot be overstated, Merz told a joint press conference with Rutte.
His statement comes as the German government weighs whether to approve the delivery of fighter jets to Turkey. Turkey seeks to purchase 40 Eurofighter jets
His statement also comes as funny things happen in Türkiye. Strategic importance trumps everything. But which area within NATO territory is meant?
That’s good but besides my point. My issue is that you make up conversations.
You don’t have to convince me that the AfD is ineligible. I am with you. But you can’t claim that the AfD makes up causes and you make up your own.
Then rent is also twice as expensive as needed.
The supply has to increase. Since politicians won’t organize public housing, renters could organize it on their own.
The future looks less bleak if the goal is not to live the life of that generation. There is AI, there are mobile phones, there is solar power and many more things.
When things are expensive, it means that few resources are used. This is good for the environment.
The big difference is that communication is free. We can talk to almost anybody in the world. This is still a huge untapped potential. That generation had a good life, but ours can be better.
Just shows you how low minimum wage is.
They love authoritarianism
The reddit lemmy situation shows that people don’t make the right choices on their own, at least not without the right education.
Which other options do communists have to change society?
retarded
Can we do top 1% so that I don’t feel included?
palatable to moderate voters while the bulk of the party is free to find their crowd among radicalized Covid protesters and neonazis.
So the covid protesters could have become the majority if they all had joined.
AfD was not first, remember the NPD. The NPD could have been equally popular or the AfD could have been equally ignored.
a massive worldwide conspiracy
Surprisingly I don’t know and I don’t care. The relevant part is that most problems have a solution which is ignored by those who should know better. Leaders don’t stand up but remain quiet.
There can be one, there can be many, there can be inertia or human shortcomings. The strange part is that people ignore issues as if they are indeed a conspiracy that they cannot change instead of pushing for change.
The AfD has received surprisingly much attention. Whatever the cause, that has to change or the successor party will become equally popular.
That said, there must be huge conspiracies. Cumex is one. There can be bigger ones, there are definitely many more smaller ones.
Thanks again.
they put absolutely minimal work into it
I don’t believe this. The small shareholders do, but not the ones who choose the board.
The Waltons have to stay up to date unless they accept that Amazon takes over. Likewise, Bezos will work to keep his company in the lead.
Bezos bought a big house in Washington, not Florida. He will be busy all day most of the days.
It’s never the grandkids. The Beatles sold the rights to their songs.
