Thr extreme right in government would be a huge threat to the 2.1 million inhabitants of this rural state - endorsed by Putin himself!
It's terrible how China and Russia have succeeded in stoking discord and hatred provided by local extremists.

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

China and Russia? More like Meta and Musk.
All of them. China and Russia have been waging war with Europe. There's billions in damages a year and their latest move is to destroy Europe by installing fascists like them.
This is all due to manipulation of Putler and Drumpf
I'd say this is mostly neglect of the German state to invest into education of their citizens. Fake news can't affect you as much when you know how the people behind it operate. It also helps to create common realities which are needed keep Democracies functional.
I also think housing must be made much more affordable, and there needs to be a shitton more investment in lowering energy prices, by going green.
llowering energy prices, by going green
But that's impossible once the voters already have terminal brain damage and firmly believe that green power is the reason for high costs. Solutions are only an option when voters stop actively fighting to cause the problem.
And media pretending it‘s inevitable for a decade now.
Well... For a media giving a fuck about anything other than clicks it is indeed inevitable. Likewise for corrupt conservatives that don't have the option of sane politics for the majority as they are beholden to a handful of ultra-rich cooperating with (and then being eaten up by) the far-right nutjobs is evitable.
It's merely accelerated by them. The Nazis never left Germany but lay more or less dormant until their... ehm... "Lebensraum" proved to be fertile again. Would they be that strong without outside help? Perhaps not, but they would have reappeared nonetheless.
I wonder schizoidman, why do you always amplify messages that align with China's intelligence strategy? Chinese goods are superior, China is thriving while others are failing or inconsequential, even amplifying right wing extremists. Have you ever posted something even neutral on China?
Dude, that‘s a dpa article and it‘s got nothing to do with China at all. Your comment is not supporting your case. Also, what actually is China‘s intelligence strategy, could you provide a document? I‘m interested to learn.
