This FT piece about how Germany is fixing its railways, and why it has to, is not bad www.ft.com/content/db75...
It's one of few such articles where I am not screaming at my screen because they made some error
The country’s railway renewal is the first test of whether Europe’s largest economy can reverse years of decline
The richest man in the world just helped to incite a racist pogrom in Belfast.
Any party that is seen as directly associated with Nazism in Germany is still much less tolerable to the wider public and all mainstream parties compared even to people who were once in the East German Socialist Unity Party or in the case of Sarah Wagenknecht, those who are still Stalinism-curious.
Today in Heidelberg!

This was a proof of concept for Musk and co. that they can set off a pogrom.
If they are not stopped, this will escalate where a mob can be mobilized and state authorities blink in the face of street violence against minorities.

The two parties that are mostly openly discussing ending the "firewall" around the AfD are the right wing liberal FDP and the "conservative-left-populist-whatever-you-call them" BSW. Both are below the 5% threshold to enter the federal parliament. bsky.app/profile/de.w...
It's a fascinating contrast with the 1936 Berlin Olympics which the Nazis used to try and show that they they *weren't* a brutal repressive racist regime by pulling back on open signs of antisemitism, whereas Trump and co. as using the World Cup as a venue to highlight their racist cruelty.
The AfD is at the top of the polls in Germany with 29%, but even with this bloc of support it remains so toxic that no other political party will openly work with them, even to pass legislation let alone a formal coalition.
