Thats entirely possible. Thanks for pointing it out.
But the rest about amazon is (interesting?) noise in my opinion. The thing keeping people locked in amazon is amazon, nothing else. Sellers need to sell there to survive and customers cant find alternatives, especially not for a competitive price.
In any case, I'm very grateful that we managed to discuss our ideas in an open and productive way in the end. Let's try to reproduce this with others and we might get somewhere at some point. This is what is meant by political discourse.
And yes, I voted already by mail. Left on all ballots. I also joined the party. We're now larger than the FDP which is nice.
I agree. We do have different alternatives but I respect your view.
I think one detail needs mentioning though.
If our domestic situation does not improve, our foreign affairs will deteriorate due to instability and ultimately fascism. It is important to stabilize ones own country first to be able to help others. It is counterintuitive but thats the reason why in airplane emergency situations the parent is supposed to take care of themselves first (oxygen) and then the child because the chances for survival of both drop significantly otherwise.
By this logic, having people (including ukrainians) starve does not help ukraine and especially not their citizens.
And that brings me to the size of "die linke". They were the ones who brought the living wage afaik. Its not like they cant get anything done. Its that they cant do anything harsh. They are bound to less extreme measures by compromising but we need the left in the government to keep the right somewhat in check. So no, no vote is wasted imho.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my points in a civilized and detailed manner. I appreciate it a lot.
I feel the need to point something out though:
We currently have millions of people in germany who suffer from not enough food, homelessness, etc. The only party that has a working concept for this and who will not be able to stop the weapons supply for ukraine anyway, is worse than the ones trying to go against human rights by illegally reimplementing border controls and push refugees out of the country?
Your rhetoric is pretty good but your facts arent.
Since we are writing in english, I took the liberty to translate the bulletpoints, using google (sorry):
THE LEFT calls on the federal government not to deliver Leopard 2 tanks or heavy weapons to Ukraine.
The EU and the federal government must launch diplomatic initiatives to break out of the logic of war and escalation.
Ceasefire negotiations must begin under the auspices of the United Nations.
All sides must guarantee that they will not use nuclear weapons. Germany must join the nuclear weapons ban treaty.
Humanitarian aid for Ukraine. Debts must be forgiven.
Rapid aid for all refugees. Conscientious objectors from Russia and Ukraine must be granted asylum.
The arms companies are making extra profits from the war. These profits must be subject to an excess profit tax!
The EU must introduce an asset register to better combat money laundering and the assets of Russian oligarchs.
Stop militarization! The war in Ukraine has already been used to upgrade the German army with 100 billion euros. Now the moaning about the German army allegedly being "ruined" by cuts has started again and 300 billion euros for the military is being discussed. What madness! Instead, the federal government is not thinking about the hospitals that have been ruined by cuts and the dilapidated schools.
Although I am by no means always agreeing with all the points of "Die Linke", I do agree with most of them. The profiteering must stop and the slow drip of weapons that perpetuates this war must be ended. Either by escalating or deescalating. Both have drawbacks.
The issue here is that we are not in America so what Trump does and doesnt is not our concern when arguing who to vote for. Because in that case, Trump and Elon are Supporting the Afd, same as the CDU and FDP.
The most important part for me is stopping the insanity of xenophobia and perverse profits. Those are at the heart of our issues. Both the ukraine war and the other issues we currently have are directly caused by people with certain traits trying to gain ever more power. Be it Putin, Besos, Weidel, Merz, Musk, Trump and so on. We need to stop the massive increase of cost of living and instead increase the living wage.
I do agree that giving russia anything FROM Ukraine to make them Stop is not an option in my book. This is not something I can guarantee by voting for anyone but I can guarantee that we dont have right-right-center-right government and have a socialist voice in there.
Disagree if you want but I dont think I spread misinfo.
Edit: I am a subscriber of the TAZ, from which the article you posted is. Here is the head of the party, talking about exactly your point. I encourage you to read it. https://taz.de/Comeback-der-Linkspartei/!6067299/
The greens are also taking part in the human rights denying idea of stopping refugees (whose numbers have declined in the past years, contrary to common belief).
Your heart is in the right place but you don't know about how Facebook works. It artificially makes people not see alternatives while giving them all the reasons to stay. Worse, those who aren't as secure in their views might go back. Facebook is pure poison.
Forget it. Delete your accounts and move. Talk to people IRL and tell them where to find you.
Because if you can be found on Facebook you will be a reason to stay.
The question you are trying to ask is "what special message do you see in that movie?"
Of course my friend, let me tell you.
Oblivion has this very nice plot twist where the main character was actually
I do agree though that its not necessarily the same league as the others. But seeing people acting the way they do, they must be submitted to 24/7 reeducation on freedom, privacy, healthy relationships, democracy, etc.
Nope. It resulted in the original Netflix, aka a service that actually worked and had everything we wanted for a time. Direct reaction to mass piracy and actually reduced it by 90℅ iirc.
You also can't crack down on non centralized services and the more decentralized nodes, the harder the job becomes and the more expensive. At some point it will become uneconomic to go after pirates.
And, yes there will be massively less movies & shows which is very good. We live in a fresh hell where billionaires push out half baked shit every week and the only way to tell them is to not buy it.
Thats entirely possible. Thanks for pointing it out.
