If they ever were a class for hypocrisy, they would have to study this lady. She lives in Switzerland with her Asian wife and leads a xenophobic party preaching traditional family values.

A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

not hypocritical at all.
the only goal is self enrichment
sell out to the highest bidder and peddle whatever works
Nazis are like cockroaches: filthy shit-eaters that you have to keep stomping every time they return.

Unless we prevent that kind of power from existing in the first place.
How?
- Have a hard wealth cap of some arbitrary number, like $10-50 million, enough to comfortably retire on and live a life of luxury, but not enough to buy political power.
- Give workers ownership over the corporations they work for in the form of worker cooperatives (not just an ESOP, but true ownership and governance). This includes trade partners following the same standard if they would like to continue to trade with us (speaking from a US perspective here). The US was able to strong-arm the rest of the world into following their economic model before with the Marshal Plan, and they can do it again.
- Provide a livable UBI tied to inflation along with providing all necessities free of charge, including housing, healthcare, utilities, etc. This will encourage entrepeneurship and artistic creation without the fear of not being able to survive.
- Transition from a representative democracy to a more direct form of democracies. This would effectively eliminate Congress in favor of the people directly writing and voting on laws at all scales of government, from cities and counties all the way to federally. Constitutional amendments can be passed with an 80% popular vote.
- Ban all advertising, especially political adverts.
- Publicize industries that are essential, such as schooling, prisons, food production, power production, healthcare, etc. Ensure that all public workers are paid well.
- Overturn Marbury v Madison (in the US), which currently allows the Supreme Court to effectively enact laws.
- The president should be limited to exclusively make decisions about defensive responses to war, defining defense as a response to a direct attack on native soil. All other decisions pertaining to war are left to the people as a collective, including the power to cancel out a president's decision.
- The power to vote out any representative of government at any time, should they not comply with the peoples' demands.
Giving any one person or small group of people the power to rule over a large group of individuals is the source of corruption, whether that power comes politically, financially, materially (one person having unreasonably more resources than another), idiologically (in the form of religious leaders, for example).
If you want to look deeper into this style of governance and need a name for it, check out anarchist idiology, though I consider myself to more "lean" anarchist than anything else. My list of policies are nowhere near perfect or complete, and are just my own, badly organized, America-centric ideas for how a country should be run. For example, I didn't even touch on policing, and police absolutely have great power over a populace. I think the nordic model of policing and prison is a good compromise between abolishing the police force entirely and the current system in the US, but since that means authority continues to exist, it is not a perfect solution.
Damn, you brought the receipts
Hmmm things are getting a little Nazi in Germany again……..
In current polling for the next general election:
AfD is the top choice for Germany:

RN is the top choice for France:

And Reform is the top choice for the UK:

All three are far-right parties.
That’s so crazy, because I remember when they were super tiny and were celebrating entering the House of Representatives (Bundestag) and back then I believe CDU was the strongest party.
I saw a pic of her recently that makes her look like an older Dedra Meero.
