  • Thank you for this comprehensive and informative write-up! fidel-salute

    anti-immigration and anti-migrant discourse has become VERY powerful in this country, so much that even the PSD and PS took it up in this election

    That point shows again, that liberals are fascist at heart. Liberal and “left” parties here, that a few years ago had a humane veneer on migration topics, also have adopted right-wing views and are now asking themselves why they lost the support of the left and the right electorate.

    If I had to blame 1 single thing though is that the private news channels, where most people get their politics from, are completely dominated by right wing pundits

    Yes, absolutely. The same problem since the first communist movements. In bourgeois societies money controls the press/media, combine that with modern attention-economics and we get the conditions for a really popular right wing. I think combating this is one of the keys to redeveloping class-consciousness in western countries, but I have no idea how it can be achieved


  • Even if that’s true (I’m not noticing it, even people who call themselves Antifa actively support the apartheid colony), it won’t have a noticeable effect on policy. The ruling class is much too invested in Isn’treal, a lot of people see only the Jews as victims of the holocaust and equate them with Israel. Combine that with the smug guilt culture (“we were bad but we have reflected on the past and now we’re better and know better than everybody else”) and a media Scape that practically only allows for Zionist talking points. I don’t see how the average germ*n will ever come to see the truth that Germany is again actively complicit in the genocide against the Palestinians by unapologetically supporting Israel
