    All of Germany’s problems will become far worse if AfD gets to the levers of power… yet here we are.

    In the end it’s the same fact-averse inanity we see with Trumpism.

      It’s due to algorithms. We need to get society off corporatist social media ASAP, and improve labour rights and reduce the inequality. Class consciousness must increase.

          US garbage truck

          Garbage trucks and firetrucks are pretty much the only trucks in the US usually built on reasonably compact chassis without that useless stupendously long hood in front of the cab.

            Fair indeed, I just always try to ridicule those 4-wheeled stinky ego caresses, this time didn’t turn out as well as I wished ;)

            Firetrucks in the US are not built compact. The fire departments regularly argue for larger streets so that they can move their gigantic rigs around faster.

              Indeed, but they are a fair bit more compact than regular cargo trucks, because they usually at least have the engine under the cab rather than in front of it.

              In general pretty much anything automotive from the USA is over the top wasteful with every resource involved, be it fuel, material, or space.

      So exactly like in every other country shifting to the right and far-right. Which is all of them because we don’t lve in a fact based society anymore but one where those screaming their lies the loudest (by controlling the media and social emdia platforms) define reality.

        because we don’t lve in a fact based society anymore

        According to Merkel, Minsk 2 was a lie. I also don’t believe that Fukushima was the reason to end nuclear energy. The Euro stability was a lie. The promises of prosperity to East Germany were also lies.

        A fact based society would solve all problems but the lies run deep and for a long time.
