If you're not dependent on your parents, think about cutting them out of your life or at least strongly reducing contact. Trust me, mich less stress this way, choose people who are good to you to keep around.

In general i miss all the TTRPG communities

I can second the recommendation on this. It felt incredibly immersive and brought me near tears when everything came crashing down on me because i had taken some bad decisions.

If anyone is interested in the state of things in Switzerland:

Our defense is in chaos right now. A scandal in our state-owned but public weapons manufacturer just broke a few weeks ago and shortly after the secretary of the departement of defense announced her resignation. We will see if the newly elected one will improve the situation.

The army is generally seen as somewhat of a joke, especially by people who served, which is more than half of all Swiss men. We like to call it a "Pfadiverein" (boy scouts association).

Even with all that, the right wing parties want to give a shitload more money to defense, and cut costs in social spending and foreign aid to compensate. Left of centre the need to improve defense is also accepted, but 1) before the army gets more money, they need to get their shit together and 2) more important than the army itself is integration with the european security Infrastructure (the left parties are also very pro-EU). The centre politicians usually mix blth stances and lean more one or the other way.

Also we still stand to buy fighter jets from the US, and only the left parties are calling to cancel the deal.

If you meant democrat vs republican just write that next time lol

Yeah the only option would be if SPD declares that they won't do a coalition if Merz becomes chancellor. But 1) that would require SPD to have some guts, which they don't have and 2) in that case the CDU would likely go for a minority government and work with AfD to push their cruel proposals.

So yeah, lile you say, realistically the GroKo is pretty much guaranteed.

Left vs right is literally down vs up

By your logic, AfD should now be below 5% because all major parties in Germany are now tougher on immigration, the CDU is now directly taking positions of the AfD a few years back.

In Denmark this may have worked, might just be correlation, but in general, what your saying is wrong and would make AfD even stronger.

No disagreement, just ÖVP should be FPÖ.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 3 months ago (11 children)

This is absolutely wrong. The validation of immigration concerns by the SPD, Greens and CDU is what gave AfD the popularity they have now.

This effect is well proven in political sciences.

Ich hoffe viele kommen noch zu dem Schluss. Für mich sind zwar einige der aussenpolitischen Positionen der Linke inakzeptabel, aber sie wären so, so wichtig als Stimme für die Schwachen im Bundestag.

They didn't write communism, they wrote tankies. And while I won't equate tankies to nazis, they do share a lot of ideology, such as their love of strongmen.

 

Heute ist Abstimmungssonntag!

Abgestimmt wird national über Autobahnausbau, Änderungen in der Finanzierung der Gesundheitsversorgung und Einschränkungen des Mieter*innenrechts (bzgl. Untermiete und Eigenbedarf).

Alle Vorlagen stehen in Umfragen auf der Kippe, es wird also spannend.

Bei Fragen antworte ich hier gerne.

 

«Israels Krieg im Gazastreifen hat Züge eines Genozids angenommen»: Mit dieser Aussage lässt einer der weltweit führenden Holocaust-Forscher aufhorchen. Gerade in Israel, wo viele die Worte von Omer Bartov als Tabubruch empfinden. Im «Echo der Zeit» erklärt der israelische Historiker, der als Professor in den USA lehrt, wie er zu seiner Einschätzung kommt – und warum israelische Soldatinnen und Soldaten überzeugt davon sind, dass sie einen gerechten Krieg kämpfen.

Ein Meinungsbeitrag zu den Abstimmungen am 9. Juni, der mMn auch für Leser:innen ausserhalb der Schweiz interessant sein könnte.
