I can't speak to that specific situation but I believe power should be held the shortest distance from the people it effects - balanced only by having more power for more people. I imagine health insurance owned and controlled by unions is less powerful than owned and controlled by the government but the distance is shorter. So ideally it would be held by a government to maximize the negotiating power essentially, but if the government is run by incompetent or immoral people (like I'd assert the CDU is) I could see union control being better.

Assuming you're in Germany, where do you read/watch/ get your media from? I'm very interested in becoming more politically helpful in this country and creating simple messages explaining why some parties deserve your support and some absolutely don't and I don't know where Germans get there material.

I'm contacting some local parties to see how I can help and volunteer, but I'd also like to be putting out material on a YouTube or blog or discord if that was beneficial and discoverable by my neighbors and friends of friends etc.

I believe a core tactic of a conservative government is to lower the revenue base of the government so less services are effective and efficient. This leads to the ability to privatize those services. Remember conservatives fundamentally lack policies that would benefit the majority of the countries they lead, they are grifters. Instead of fixing problems or raising revenue through taxing the rich (their friends and donors) they cut services to fund tax cuts. When that becomes too unpopular they focus on deregulation until they can again cut services and lower taxes on the rich again.

Please, help educate everyone on the actions of this conservative government and the last - whatever - three decades of conservative government. They hurt people so they can give more money to the rich, don't ever vote a centralist or right wing party ever again. Only political parties that work for workers, that's who deserve your vote and support.

This sounds like workers working towards owning the fruit of their labor. I think this is a universal good thing. You should own your house and your work and your future.

To elaborate a bit on what Harrk said. It's a linear dark souls-like with a heavier emphasis on rhythm gameplay (parrying) and only melee combat (no like magic or full ranged). It's got a decent story that has most of its payoff in the final moments imo.

I'd recommend it for anyone interested in the dark souls experience with a the sharp edges rounded off and a more linear story using familiar characters.

The only way to address the AfD is to tax the rich, deal with wealth inequality, improve the lives of the working German, and root out corruption and oligarchy at every level.

The CDU and the SPD allow the AfD to thrive because one of them encourages and cultivates the climate that leads to the AfD and the other refuses to make significant enough changes to reverse the damage conservatives do to a country.

I agree, but the SPD went through with it. The two largest parties in Germany aren't interested in bettering the country they're interested in making press headlines while increasing the wealth of their friends and the wealthy.

The fact that the first three policies I've seen come out of this coalition are increasing our national debt, wanting to decrease taxes on the wealthy, and removing a niche path to citizenship for the people we want here the most should be a wake up call for the - what 40% of Germans who voted for these people. They're antiquated parties incapable of making real progress for the working German.

I find that relativity is one of the greatest frictions against doing better - and it's frustrating for this reason. 5 years is better than most other countries. That's true. Is that a good number though, or is it just better? That's the actual conversation I want to have, and I think relativity ruins meaningful progress and improvement.

Eating bland, unseasoned chicken is better than eating raw chicken - but that doesn't mean we should settle for it.

Just because other nations have antiquated and arguably bad citizenship requirements doesn't mean we shouldn't improve ours. And reversing progress is worse than being stagnant, and defending that is encouraging it imo.

This is fucking depressing to read. As someone who moved to Germany two years ago, gaining citizenship is important to us. When we moved here they were just announcing the expedited opportunity and we were stoked to know we were welcome in this country. It reinforced our decision. Now they look to take it away and although the 5 year plan will still exist, it signals clearly that the CDU don't want highly educated immigration - they will blame immigrants while they raid the coffers of their country - and the SPD will gladly move further to the right if it means they get to stay in power.

This is incredibly disappointing. It's not enough to change our plans, like if the AFD won, but I consider the grand coalition to be a "continued decline" coalition. If another country offered me and my family a guaranteed path to citizenship, with similar worker rights and benefits as Germany, we'd now have to consider it seriously. As aerospace engineers we're not exactly struggling to find technical work.

Furthermore the fact that both parties considered revoking citizenship for any reason from anyone is unbelievably terrifying. If anyone's citizenship can be removed, everyone's citizenship can be removed and that's something I completely disagree with. It's dangerous territory and completely disgusting to read that the SPD considered it.

That's totally cool by me, it's a fun game. PoE2 is probably the best ARPG on the market, it's just falling short of what they sold me (and the community at large) on. But for now, it's definitely an idle game during mapping with the right build (and the wrong build will see you roadblocked progression-wise).
