Specially looking forward to the proposed answers coming in future (last para in report). All too often these big calls for a new system or narrative punt their questions into the void.

Hahaha the trolling from the car specialist cited in this Forbes article. “The spectacular failure of Cybertruck was a failure of empathy”

Fast approaching the point where Trump’s allergy to ‘losers’ kicks in.

Bild now claiming to speak on behalf of the ‘will of the majority’.

And when the anti-migrant measure they were supporting doesn’t get through parliament that’s ‘madness’.

Not even pretending to care about democracy anymore.

Economic illiteracy as campaign slogan from Germany’s FDP.

The sign reads ‘Debt: children are liable for their parents’.

So now YouTube is offering me to watch the Musk-AfD event live with German translators. Sponsored by a company selling gold with over 300 thousand followers. Just in case the grift isn’t explicit enough.
