    What really doesn‘t reflect reality anymore are most political debates and talkshows on German state TV. They keep inviting corrupt conservatives and blatant fascists so they can spread their lies and the host just frowns awkwardly when a guest blurts out the most deranged hate rant against minorities. They‘re doing democracy a disservice by giving these crooks a platform. Many criticize them for not even doing basic fact checks but I say that‘s by design. You don‘t keep inviting fucking Nazis to your show to fact check them, you just give them a platform.

    But it doesn‘t even have to be about Nazis. The way they framed well fare leading up to drastic and insanely unfair budget cuts recently tells you everything you need to know about what makes them tick. Kicking down is their motto.
