    He was on the board of Blackrock in Germany basically just for optics and prestige. Apparently he couldn’t even be bothered to learn what an ETF is.

    He also hates women. There was recently a bill proposed in German parliament to do something about domestic violence and he refrained from voting, because he genuinely thinks domestic violence isn’t a problem and spousal SA isn’t possible.

    Germany’s image on the international stage really is too positive. Honestly, people should treat the German government with the same disdain they do for the American one.

    I hate liberal democracies so much it is either a “progressive” neoliberal candidate (Third Wayer) or a conservative neoliberal candidate. SPD CDU in germany Tories Labour in UK Democrats Republicans in USA just to give you some examples.

      Who needs a FDP when we have Blackrock Merz? Same bullshit just in a different color.

        Of course I agree. But it is a personal thing why I like it and find it funny. It is not the first time that they are not in the Bundestag anymore and I truly hope I will not hear anything from them in the next 4 years.
