I'm tired of calling it protest votes. The last idiot in a cave should have heard by now that they are literally Nazis. People who voted for them are Nazis. Which gives me the creeps as a citizen of Germany.
But on the national issues thing I'm full on your side.
There is CDU and CSU. Together they form the Union. CSU is only active in Bavaria, but they are even more conservative than the CDU. Both would cooperate with the far right tho so we can sink most of Germany
Bavaria voted CSU, which is Bavaria's own, even more "conservative" splinter group of the CDU that has run Bavaria as a de facto one party state for the most part of its post WW2 history. One of the reasons why the AfD doesn't score that high in Bavaria is that the domestic Bavarian parties are so far right that there is virtually no demand for a dedicated Nazi party.
Most of the creative and ambitious people left the GDR when the wall came down.
I heard a theory recently from someone that was part of the peaceful revolution in Leipzig and now thinks that many people actually didn't mind the government telling them what to do and then not really having a choice in the matter and being under constant surveillance as long as they had a decent life. And that the protests in hindsight probably were more about them seeing how much better the life in the west was than about the personal and political freedom since the GDR apparently did a pretty good job to get rid of those concepts (at least for many citizens).
Now those same people are again voting only for their personal gains and not for freedom for everyone to live however they want as that was never in their interest to begin with
I don't know how you can look at a map clearly showing the aftereffects of decades of communism and blame it on capitalism. Why would east Germany vote fascist due to rampant capitalism but the rest of Germany not do that? I just don't understand.
Maybe what will make you understand, is that 1. the black part is also bad, just a different flavor of it, 2. those two things can be separate issues that are both problematic, not one being right, one being wrong and 3. the DDR was never really communism, like most "communist" countries (like current "communist" China is almost entirely capitalistic)
Whenever I travel somewhere, as a souvenir, I buy the local design of playing cards. Even within the colour-regions there are many variations. I might be biased because I’m dutch, but the Dutch Cut is one of my favourites, because of the architecture on the aces!
In Italy every region has their own design! (Even within the ones shown in this map.)
In Spain every single playing card company has its own design (even if they are all swords, sticks, coins and cups), probably more than one. I don't think I've ever seen the same design twice, every house I go to has different cards.
Yeah that happens a lot in the rest of the world too. In Italy there are two main manufacturers and they each have their own slight variations upon every regional design. Here in NL I don’t even see the classic (carta mundi brand) dutch style anymore. It’s mostly American cards here now.
Die Umfrage wird jetzt also so oft bei gestartet, bis die das Ergebnis bekommen, das sie wollen? Das klingt für mich aber schwer nach einem nie gesehenen Ausmaß an krimineller Energie.
Ja, aber in den Neunzigern war es auch warm und um die Messstellen wurde überall gebaut, sodass es jetzt dort lokal wärmer ist und CO2 ist kein Problem, davon ernähren sich Pflanzen und es kann ja auch keiner beweisen, dass das was mit dem Menschen zu tun hat und wenn, dann können wir nichts machen, weil in China machen die ja auch nichts und es gibt viel mehr Chinesen als Deutsche und überhaupt müssen wir verhindern, dass die zugewanderten Messermuslime zu einer kulturfremden Überbevölkerung beitragen, denn das ist das eigentliche Problem, falls es tatsächlich eine Erderwärmung geben sollte, wie es von den linksgrünen Blockparteien und Systemmedien kolportiert wird. Hochachtungsvoll, ihr Tino-Alix von Höcke-Krahpalla
Na ja, die Argumente werden ja zentral erdacht und dann breit gestreut. Und weil sie so blöd sind, halten die sich doppelt so lang im Hirn. Kein Wunder, dass ich die mittlerweile kenne.
This surprised me when I was younger. Heart, diamond, spade, and club seemed so foreign to me. For the record, in Spain we call them copas (cups), oros (coins (literally golds)), bastos (clubs), and espadas (swords).
Also, the pictures used in the map are not the most commonly used ones here. this (top row) is what most cards use
I don't think so. The other variants of the Spanish-inspired cards are clearly staves. Besides, basto is very, very close to bastón, the word for a staff like a walking stick. Gherkins are called pepinillos
Funny enough, in Portuguese, the names for the sets are dirty direct translations of the Spanish versions, but applied to the French icons. It didn’t make much sense to me calling a losange “golds”, or a heart “cups”, a leaf “swords”, and a clover leaf “sticks”.
Somehow this is the first time I've realized the symbols don't match their names at all. Not really sure what's dirty about them but it's actually pretty handy to have all suits be called the same names in French and Spanish suits since both are widely used around here in Southern Brazil.
Not the previous poster but I think the "dirty translation" is because in Portugal some things weren't translated at all (we use the actual word "copas" even though it's not a Portuguese word) and others are translated differently (were the Spanish use "bastos" - clubs - we use "paus" - sticks).
The French symbols are either pure black or pure red, they're symmetrical, and they're fairly abstract. The "diamond" is just a rhombus. The Spade and Club are fairly abstract shapes that don't look like anything in particular.
In the image, all the other versions are multicolored, and still seem to represent real-world objects. But, I'm curious if there are "modern" decks where say the coin (oro) is just a circle, or the club is just a long thin rectangle, or something.
Not sure if it is the same as Mexico, but the “oros bastos” set doesn’t have cards 8,9,10 but jump from 7 to sota (fancy lad or something like that), caballo (horse) and Rey (king).
Irgendwie tendieren alle Umfragen irgendwann zu einer 2/3 Mehrheit für das Verbrenner Aus.
Wird Zeit für mehr Überwachung und uneingeschränkten, rechenschaftslosen Zugriff der Polizei auf jedes Datenbit der Bürger, damit dieser kriminellen Wahlmanipulation Einhalt geboten werden kann.
Nur so können wir unsere Demokratie und Freiheit schützen!
