idk where else to post it

translation:

the union (german conservative party) stands behind the social state, without any ifs and buts. (german expression)

But(?) it won’t hold up, if(?) more and more services are promised without asking for anything in return, from those able to go to work.

    FWIW, we have a very similar expression (at least in British English):

    “No ifs, ands, or buts”

    Also sometimes used as:

    “No ifs and/or buts”

    “No ifs, no buts”

    I dont think he is stupid. I think he is a populist. He uses completely degenerated politics to appear stupid and appeal to the masses, which have been brainrotted and therefore cant read two centences in a row.

    Its all just a shitshow. We’re racing to the bottom with billion euro murder machines.

    This is gonna end in a LOT of people dying.

    It also is the exact same that happened last time. Leading through fear and hate. Make yourself ready for another world war.

    Capitalism is shedding its veil to beat its host into submission again.

      More like a selfish piece of shit stuck in the grooves of your shoe after stepping in dog shit. Disgusting, makes everyone’s lives worse and good for nothing.

        Yeah, sorry to tell you but you have to be this way to get into politics. Our system is designed that way. If you tell the truth, you dont get popular. You dont get popular, you dont lead the country. Its that easy.

        Thats why representative democracy is just a veil on totalitarianism. Dont make individual people the enemy. They are not. Its not important who sits at the helm.

        We need to rid ourselves from capitalism. We need to go on strike and take over. Its not that complicated. For that, we need to talk to our friends, our neighbors and reconnect.

        We can get there. We just need to wake up.
