At this point, I place Israel in the same category as Russia, West Taiwan, and North Korea. They act only in their self-interest (like every other country) to an unreasonable degree. They don't have allies, just ignorant coconspirators who they will stab in the back in a heartbeat.
Will probably be again this malicious compliance of "only if you mail-order this 799€ tool for it" 😒 Oh and the battery itself costs more then the phone itself is still worth and of course no 3rd party batteries work.
So, less left politics lead to more right politics? Checks out in Germany. 16 years of Merkel and before that 16 years of Kohl have lead to crumbling infrastructure, an erosion of social welfare and tax breaks for the rich. And even our supposedly center left party hasn't done much to change that when they were in power.
Online they are always frothing at the mouth at negative mention of Merkel and her shiti economic and geopolitical policy
You sound like you're doing wild stereotyping. But no, not every single German thinks the same way.
And you may not want to hear it, but while Merkel's policies often did a disservice to Germany and the EU, she did have strengths. Just compare her to the utter non-presence that is Olaf Scholz, who somehow snagged the chancellor's seat.
Has the public opinion turned on her within Germany yet or we still calling her auntie?
We called her "Mutti", i.e. "mommy". There isn't even a German word for "auntie" in German afaik. And I should k because growing up, I had a very motherly neighbor. We never had a special term for her.
I deff am but I am going off my shitposting experiences dealing with German topics.
she did have strengths
Nobody is all bad but her leadership put Germany in some weird spots especially in light of ukraine invasion. She and scholz like many of our dear leaders is just another neo liberal maxi pad between the elites and the people.
Useless when it comes to policy setting and driving but always around to give big business a handy.
I mean, generally I liked her. But I think she would have been better in the social party. She was an expert at making absolutely everything sound good and deflected any and all criticism. But under her government absolutely nothing got done. And now the new government is slowly trying to fix stuff and it's getting more and more apparent what is broken so they get the blame.
In general I think the left hate her because she's too right and the (far) right hate her because she's too left. "Danke Merkel" has become a meme similar to "thanks Obama".
Twitter famously no longer has a PR department since Elmo took over. They were indeed automatically sending out shitpile emojis for a while, apparently they have upgraded to something more professional.
