Summary
Germany’s parliament erupted in controversy after the far-right AfD backed a CDU-led motion for stricter asylum policies, breaking a long-standing “firewall” against cooperation with extremists.
CDU leader Friedrich Merz defended the move, but Chancellor Olaf Scholz condemned it as an “unforgivable mistake.”
The AfD, polling second nationally, celebrated the vote as a victory.
Merz’s stance signals a shift from Angela Merkel’s centrist policies, sparking concerns that mainstream conservatives are normalizing far-right influence ahead of Germany’s upcoming snap election.
The whole fucking planet is gonna be burned to a god damned cinder because of these fucking freaks.
I don’t recall who said this but the planet will be fine, humans not so much.
That’s actually, surprisingly, huffing copium.
We’re fucking our environment so bad, we may actually genuinely kill off all other life, not allowing there to be a way to regrow and evolve.
The level of heat and the speed at which it will come will be just too much for many species to adapt to.
Like maybe some bacteria in some deep oceanic vents will survive, but the vast majority of life on this planet is super, super, super fucked. Basically it’s almost ensured that most multicellular life is toast.
A changing climate was behind other mass extinctions but we also have pollution, overfishing the ocean, and mass destruction of forests. All this taken together creates very real risks that nobody will make it and Earth will return to being a lifeless rock and exist much like Venus.
I kind of don’t care if a fucking hunk of rock spinning through space with no life on it is “fine.”
