German energy giant RWE has begun dismantling a wind farm to make way for a further expansion of an open-pit lignite coal mine in the western region of North Rhine Westphalia.
I thought renewables were cheaper than coal. How is this possible?

It doesn’t matter what purpose a protest vote has if it’s advancing nazi agendas and change in society. People don’t need to be nazis to be influenced by nazis.
Once again ignoring all the fascists in the major parties just because their party line isn’t “we’re fascists”. It’s like you fucking liberals can’t understand that taking off a nazi uniform doesn’t actually mean you stopped being a nazi.
It’s a war. You’re not getting data until 20 years after its finished. Multiethnic? You are out of your fucking mind. Pogroms and mass exterminations have been common since the start of the war. You’re not an anarchist, you are a nazi and it is blatantly fucking obvious that you’re here playing games and being a silly fuck. It is a considerable waste of time talking to you, eat my ass and kindly follow your leader.
They’re not Nazis. Or, differently put, dismissing them as Nazis plays right into the hand of Nazis: Protest voters have a reason they’re protesting, there’s things that other parties aren’t addressing, haven’t been addressing for ages, and those voters are pissed.
And you’d understand that if you actually, once in your life, went to a bar and talked to actual blue collar folks, instead of having your head up your own ideologically pure ass. You know, workers. The guys you’re supposedly fighting for.
The current failure of the government isn’t necessarily even policy – it’s primarily communication, and not signalling an actual turning point. The new heating law does not bankrupt poor homeowners, but they had the genius ideas of having drafts that didn’t even include mentions of financial aid. Sure heat pumps are cheaper in the long term but first you have to be able to afford the investment, and many poor home owners don’t.
That kind of stuff is what really worries people – that they’ll lose the little economical stability they do have, lose the little property they do own., as the saying goes, Erst das Fressen, dann die Moral. The FDP doesn’t care in the first place, the Greens have to be reminded by the SPD (Greens aren’t a left party as such) but would not block, either, and the SPD has its head far enough up its own image of itself as worker’s party that it’s not talking to actual workers before setting policy. Vanguard blindness in a sense.
Inflation? Well, it’s not too bad. Some relief would be good, if you can’t get that past the FDP just do what the French do and bully supermarkets. Not much to bully when it comes to the discounters but it’s also the sentiment that counts.
Asylum? Actually, that’s not the issue the issue is housing. An issue they’re working on and as the previous government really fucked it up it’s slow to start (actual lack of building capacity) but again, communication is shit. Berlin’s SPD trying to sabotage the expropriation of landlords doesn’t help, that is the exact shit that pisses off the east. At the same time they’re co-responsible for the situation as is as they failed to put pressure on the CDU in the Merkel years.
In short: The issue isn’t the people being Nazis. The issue is the people being to the left of the government but Die Linke not being an option, either, the east already tried that and I don’t mean the GDR times. Three decades of unification and the federal republic is less social then before that’s straight up their fault. People have the impression that the party cares more about random sexual minorities than workers, and yes it’s true, of course you can, should, and must do both and people wouldn’t mind, issue is they didn’t do anything for workers.
Remember how fascism is a failed revolution? That right there.
[citation needed]. Well you don’t need to find those for Russian atrocities those have been well-documented. Show me a Bucha committed by Ukrainians, I’ll wait. Show Russian soldiers who were castrated as POWs.
How convenient of an opinion for you.
