When we talk about parts of Germany being “left behind”, we are talking about first-world problems. These areas are still wealthy by world and historical standards. But, their wealth and economic growth is smaller than the big cities.

The AfD wants Germany to distance relations with Europe and the United States while getting closer to Russia and China. This is weird for a party that claims to want Germany first and to focus on distinct German culture and values. Shouldn’t authoritarian Asiatic empires be the opposite of German values and culture? And don’t other European countries and the US have much closer values and culture? Long-term, and worst case scenarios, China and Russia are empires that would force the world under their authoritarian heel if they could. Despite America’s many flaws and self-interests, its goals are freedom, trade, and defense. True imperialism is antithetical to its ethos. When the AfD says German values, it seems to mean no immigrants and: imperial, anti-enlightenment, anti-Western, and fundamentally unChristian values.

The AfD has completely polarized a German town where disputes used to be easily resolved over a beer. They take over German villages as a strategy, first just establishing a base in a pub or something, then spreading their message, then polarizing the town by: ending trust, lying about anyone who speaks out, and suing and criminally reporting people who are against them. They also threaten opponents, especially AfD apostates. When dealing with external and internal opponents, the party focuses on threats and insults over discussion of the issues.

When talking about inflation, if a politician pulls out one or two items that make him look good, he is probably bullshitting you. There are almost always some items up a lot or down a lot in price. What usually matters, is how much prices are growing in general.
The Iranian government is directly supporting and even sometimes commanding the Houthi’s war and strikes.

Bush administration officials had the intelligence that Saddam was not linked to 9/11, but some of the high level officials refused to believe it. Within 24 hours, some of these had decided they needed to get Saddam.

Trump appears to be importing a bunch of potentially unsafe meat from Brazil based on a closed door meeting with a mega donor, without much serious consideration from meat safety experts or the economic impacts.
