    Tbf she's lost her mind on social issues and is super transphobic. At least she wants to fuck off on foreign policy

      I was just reading about her party and how they were ”left-wing economically and socially conversative”, and the first thing that I thought of was ”transphobe”.

          Im still undecided on whether critical support is warranted as her is the only antinato party even mentioned in the media.

            The Left has admittedly put out some less-than-stellar statements on the Ukraine war, but it's still the only party demanding an exit from NATO and peaceful cooperation with Russia in its program while also upholding leftist positions in general. There's no need to support some glorified talk show guest who's against immigrants and trans people and for small business just because she's correct on one point.

                The party program, which includes the dissolution of NATO, was ratified back in 2011 and has been never changed since. While some members would certainly prefer a more pro-NATO program, that's not the official position of the party.

            no, it's not, any more than "critical support" was warranted to the left wing of the NSDAP lmao. no bourgeois party in an imperialist country like Germany is worth any support.

    Not related to the actual content of the speech, but the pink blazer against the flat grey background strikes me as a very good choice for drawing all attention directly to the speaker. It's extremely high contrast but in a "normal" color, so it draws the eye without feeling like a trick or something. Good rhetorical strategy.

    "Are you all fucking insane?" Is a very good sum-up of Europe's present warmongering.

    I don’t know the German parties from a hole in the ground; it’s the neolib parties that are calling for peace?

      She used to be in Die Linke and now has her own party. Apparently they suck because they're transphobic, anti-immigrant and oppose ”green policies”.

          I know, but something tells me her party's opposition to green policies involves ”don't take away my vroom vroom and meat treats”.
