[–] gusgalarnyk@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago (1 child) The goal of a functioning society is improving things for it's people. That means people working less, owning more, and generally having better lives. Germany, and the world, needs to stop voting for people telling you that they want to make your life worse. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ragas@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago (1 child) You know, not even a third of people voted for this guy. He basically only became Bundeskanzler because 13,8, or over 1/8, of the votes didn't get any say at all. Also in first try, the Bundestag rejected to inaugurate him. Basically noone wants him. But thats who we got now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] gusgalarnyk@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago And yet he's in power. A system that promotes people who want nothing more than to enrich themselves and devastate their country and neighbors is not a functional system. I only say this with the fear of Germany turning into the US over the next couple of decades. I would like this place to be my final home. permalink fedilink source parent
