Fascists are rising up all over the world, it’s the same here. The fascists have already taken power in the US and it looks like they’ll do the same here in Germany too if nothing majorly changes. As soon as our economic system encounters a really bad recession, people notice that something’s going wrong and needs to change. Fascists take that opportunity to give people easy enemies to blame, saying that the “others” (nowadays that’s mostly muslims, immigrants and trans people) just need to be removed from society and everything will be fine again. They find explanations for why that’s the case and justify it by saying that they just want to “remigrate” them and also only the bad ones that don’t work and stuff like that. What they want to do and how they want to do it never changes tho, they’re still fascists no matter how many justifications and euphemisms they find for the cruel things they want to do. Unfortunately, their strategy still works perfectly, partly because they’re being supported by the rich. The rich know that the change people want will either result in fascists taking power, in which case they’d still be able to make loads of money, or leftists taking power, in which case their wealth would be taken away and given back to society. And just like with the companies they own, profit is always more important than human lifes. The fascists have convinced large parts of the population, the nationalised media (that was established after WW2 as a neutral source of information, so fascists can’t spread their propaganda, didn’t work out that well) and neoliberal politicians (so everyone who’s not in Die Linke or the AFD).

Thanks, didn’t know this existed

I never really understood the deal about hybrids anyway. To me, it just seems like the worst of both worlds. One of the coolest things about EVs is that you can just charge it at home but wirth a hybrid you need to charge it in addition to also driving to the gas station to fill up the tank. The battery is also way smaller, so the electric engine doesn’t take you very far anyway. And whatever engine you’re using, you always have to carry the weight of the other system. And since you have both, doesn’t that mean that there’s way more that can break too?

And that’s just talking about plug-in hybrids, the ones that generate electricity using a combustion engine just seem like ICE vehicles with extra steps.

I live in Germany and I would love to buy a chinese EV but I just can’t find any place that sells them. You just can’t really order cars online from China like you can with other products.

I’m pretty sure he knows they don’t need it and that that’s the point. He’s probably trying to force to buy stuff they don’t need in addition to the stuff they need, which they’ll buy anyway.

Liberals working together with fascists while socialists are the only ones who are standing against it?! That’s never happened before, especially not in Germany. But I’m sure we’ll just have to say “Oh no, who could have seen this coming”, apologize and then ban the fascist AND socialist parties again and everything will be fine again.
