Elon Musk appears unhappy that the German government provided a little more than $2 million to groups that aid migrants, include one that conducts search-and-rescue operations.
The problem is that he's rich enough to have bought an entire social network to express himself and has the ability to influence a lot of very important situations.
I find it depressing that not wanting migrants to drown, is framed as 'support for migrants' and somehow left wing.
If a suspected rapist was drowning in a pond, I'd expect the police to save them, then jail them. Leaving people to die without any right to a trial or to be heard, is simply sociopathic.
It's perfectly possible to have a hardline anti-migration policy, which doesn't involve allowing thousands of people to drown.
3 billionaires and young adult vs 300 migrants. The world was mad at us for not caring about 4 billionaires, not themselves for not caring about 300 migrants.
In concept, sure, it's possible. In practice, as we see here, the sorts of people who have hardline anti-immigration opinions tend to do so because they see those migrants as being less than fully human.
no, not currently. I worded that wrong. They’re gonna be the second strongest party according to polls and general vibe of the country rn. The fascists are coming back, and they’re coming back strong. Attacks against jewish and queer people have risen rapidly. Fuck, even i’ve been the victim of a fascist attack.
The chancellor's party is center-left in the typical European social democrat way, he himself is more of a moderate. But the current coalition polls at around 40%, so calling Germany very left-leaning is a very optimistic statement.
