    Wait, that guy is supposed to be photogenic? This is Nic Cage movies trying to convince me that Nic Cage has sex appeal all over again.

      this guy is a more typical-looking German libertarian. he's mostly not known for his looks, tho, but for trying to compliment women by telling boomer jokes about their breasts.

        Please don't tell me "libertarians" have broken their containment field in the US and can now be found in places like Germany.

          Neoliberalism has permanently damaged the party systems of places like Germany and the UK. Lindner's party, the FDP, used to be classic liberals (in some cases in the actual sense of the word, in some cases in the sense of "dog whistle for cryptofascist") and still call themselves liberals, but have mostly presented as a "communism is when the government does stuff" kind of party.
