German politics

German politics may have slowly but surely reached rock bottom. Just a few years ago, a very experienced and highly respected CSU politician accused his colleagues of being just slightly better administrators! Today he would certainly be happy if our politicians were at least that.

At best, far too many of our professional politicians can be seen as little more than a heap of chickens. Running wildly around and cackling around senselessly, these specimens are now hardly capable of much more. Some people also throw themselves into Armani or a carnival costume, depending on their party list, and act as Seppl as Prime Minister.

It feels like a new egg is laid every five minutes, and this is probably due to the current survey numbers or the bleating on the street and on the Internet. The largest specimens now only cackle at each other at Lanz and Co., completely ignoring the fact that they only reach those sections of the population who are too senile to switch.

Here are a few examples for my readers:

• nuclear power: probably abolished far too quickly, because the coal and gas power plants would have had to be shut down beforehand or alternative energy sources would have had to be brought online beforehand. And anyone who believes that this will last for us is ignoring the calls for the atomic bomb. New nuclear power plants will probably go back online in our country soon - at least until the next egg is laid, when they will all be switched off again overnight.
• G-8: the desired topic for politicians with less education. As soon as the school system has been converted to G-8, the first cries for G-9 come. And as soon as G-9 is reintroduced, G-8 is touted as the last resort. Particularly prominent politicians are those who preach the public education system, but use every means possible to install a private education system in our country.
• Compulsory military service: It's a very hot topic, because the only thing that politicians did here was to make adjustments, namely when they actually looked the truth in the eye. The majority of us Germans refuse to do so and the majority of us are not prepared to pay for our society and our country. And now that conscription has been abolished and not only the necessary infrastructure has been “given away”, people want conscription back!

I could just go on with the examples, but I don't have the time right now and all of these examples have the same problem. Such social changes take years, if not decades. That's why you can't always reverse every fundamental decision with just the flag pointed to the wind.

And if you do this because there are actually profound and unchangeable reasons, then you definitely have to not only take the citizens along with you, but also present them with the necessary invoice in advance!

The hasty abolition of nuclear power alone has not only cost us citizens tens of billions of euros, but has also caused unnecessary and lasting damage to the environment. The return to nuclear power will cost us hundreds of billions of euros.

The back and forth in education policy, which has been underfunded for a long time, is also damaging our tight budgets, but worse, it is destroying far too many young lives who are simply left behind by these rapid changes. We now have students who have left school and spent their time in containers - Germany, the land of poetic thinkers!

And you have to let the conscription thing melt in your mouth first! We will soon create an administrative apparatus with the appropriate infrastructure again, and all this at the expense of a completely run-down Bundeswehr. Just to officially turn the majority of our population into conscientious objectors and shirkers again. The few useful "idiots" that can be won for our armed forces would be obtained much faster and better if our soldiers were paid even halfway adequately!

I argue that if only 20% of what the reintroduction of conscription will cost us is invested in better pay for soldiers, we will not only get enough soldiers, but also better soldiers!

However, German politics will continue to run our country down and our democracy will fall by the wayside!

Which doesn't bother many of our politicians at all because they themselves have earned and lived very well. And even after a few years in professional politics, they are still in such good financial shape that they can leave our country for better areas at any time without any problems.
