German of the day: “Fast die Hälfte”

That means almost half.

As in “almost half of Germans are in favor of banning the AfD, according to a survey.” And this means, of course, that the majority of Germans are against banning the AfD.

Almost half of Germans in favor of banning the AfD, according to survey – 61% of Germans consider the AfD to be a right-wing extremist party. According to a representative survey, 48% want it to be banned.

But what about all those protesters in the news?

All those hundreds of thousands protesting against the “CDU-AfD collaboration?” That must have been a misunderstanding or something.

German election: CDU still leads in the polls – The conservative Christian Democrats haven’t sustained major damage despite having accepted support from the Alternative for Germany. But fewer people now trust chancellor hopeful Friedrich Merz not to veer to the right.

“Extreme weather”

There’s lots of snow and ice in Germany right now. In the winter OMG (this is where you say “but weather isn’t climate”)!

Why wasn’t the government prepared for this?

Germany braces for extreme weather and disruptions – Forecasters warned of treacherous conditions that could cause flight and other delays. Meanwhile the UK and US are also dealing with severe wintry conditions.

Germans would never seek to influence foreign elections!

It’s just not their thing.

Musk causes uproar for backing Germany’s far-right party ahead of key elections – Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk caused uproar after backing Germany’s far-right party in a major newspaper ahead of key parliamentary elections in the Western European country, leading to the resignation of the paper’s opinion editor in protest.

Germany is to vote in an early election on Feb. 23 after Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party governing coalition collapsed last month in a dispute over how to revitalize the country’s stagnant economy.

Fake is what fake does

Uh-oh. If “Russian disinformation is growing in Germany…”

Then German state media disinformation providers are going to have to crank it up a notch. No prob. We’re on it already.

Russian disinformation is growing in Germany – Russia is flooding Germany with more disinformation than ever, officials warn. Analysts say this tactic is helping pro-Kremlin narratives increasingly seep into the country’s politics.

“We see that this strategy is gradually achieving its goals, and the public debate in Germany is increasingly shifting in a direction that serves the Kremlin’s interests.”

Even the Germans are puzzled by these results

And they normally blindly believe any survey they are presented with.

No sooner has Joe Biden stepped down to make way for Kamala Harris than the first effects are apparently already being felt. Initial polls show the Vice President ahead…

Of the ten Democratic candidates surveyed, she performed best against Trump. In addition, 65 percent of Democratic supporters surveyed supported Harris’ candidacy as the party’s frontrunner, doubling her score from the previous month.

It’s in their blood

Not in their German blood. In their Leftist Brain blood.

Musk blasts German satirist over Trump assassination joke.

“Chancellor, what is this?” wrote Musk on X quoting a post by German climate change denier Naomi Seibt, in which she warns her followers about the German satirist Sebastian Hotz, also known as “El Hotzo”.

In his tweet, Musk questions why the German government employs Hotz, a claim made by right-wing Youtuber Naomi Seibt.

“I think it’s absolutely fantastic when fascists die.”

“The demand for fascists vastly outstrips the actual supply. The further fascism recedes into history the more self-proclaimed anti-fascists call people fascist who aren’t, a cost-free exercise bringing personal and political advantage.”

But in social media it says that the Palestinians are starving

So it must be true.

Enjoying a nice day at the beach doesn’t mean you’re not starving, after all. Right?

‘We’re not like the Nazis’: Netanyahu said to chide German FM on Gaza ‘famine’ remark – heated exchange reportedly occurs after Annalena Baerbock charges Israel pushing Gaza toward starvation; Germany complains about ‘distorted’ leaks

“Come and see the pictures of the markets in Gaza, the beaches in Gaza, there’s no famine there.”

Breaking News: Isaiah, Ezekiel and Jeremiah are now right-wing white supremacists

And I’m not even going to get into the patriarchy part. Old Testament prophets go home!

You can’t make this stuff up, people.

‘We are dealing with fundamentalist rightwingers’: Berlin statues are latest battleground in Germany’s culture wars – Monuments erected on the Stadtschloss are an ‘infiltration’ of the city and its skyline by nationalists, say critics.

“It appears that we are dealing with a targeted infiltration of the Berlin palace by fundamentalist rightwingers who want to turn it into symbol of a Christian and thereby ‘white’ ethnic Germany.”
