And then the same leftist artists who are protesting the cuts are urging the germans to vote for the same leftist government who are making the cuts.
GENIOUS!
Voting for a government against which they still have a right to protest seems better than the alternative. Should they vote in the AFD and go right to the new concentration camps, where ‘culture’ will be the rag-tag orchestra at the front gate?
Did you take your meds today, buddy?
Please stop using clichés.
Your argument sadly doesn’t make sense, as with most of the “woke-think”.
Sounds like a situation where one steps on a rake, and then protests against rakes hitting people on the forehead if stepped on.
“Woke-think”. What the hell is that even supposed to mean? Kindly offer a substantiated definition, and do try to limit your clichés to no more than one per post.
Sure my friend, I will explain. “Woke-think” is a mindset.
A person who is mentally entangled in “woke-think” is one who deliberately ignores objective reality and chooses to live in a pseudo-progressive bubble because it’s hip, trendy and cool. Usually its either young, brainwashed, leftist-gullible people who are still supported by their parents or the “upper middle class” and higher.
Simple example – people who say that anyone can identify as a woman, but at the same time can’t explain what a woman is.
But in reality they don’t want to, because they know the objective reality but are too “woke”, hip and trendy to say it out loud.
“Woke-think” is kind of a mindset of personal self-sabotage combined with denial of objective reality where virtue signaling is of utmost importance – as with the germans that first they vote for backwards-leftist radical politics which prefer to sponsor wars and drive the economy into ruins by implementing corrupt radical “green” politics, and then they whine about the consequences while not actually addressing the problem.
I suspect that deep in your heart you know the definition of “woke-think” yourself, you are just too woke to admit it.
But are the concentration camps an idea of AfD, or of your own?
The leftist radicals often seem to project their own fantasies onto the political opposition.
Berlin has a CDU – right – majority. Kai Wegner – the mayor – is from the CDU, as is Joe Chialo – the senator for culture.
You know, facts…
I will uncover a great mystery for you, buddy. The CDU has sold out around 15-20 years ago, and is no longer the popular conservative party it once has been, now it follows a leftist-crazy-woke-“green”-moneydownthetoilet agenda of overspending on BS initiatives, a good example – this government has spent 300 million euros of tax payer money on bike-roads in Peru. Good job, eh?

Now stop whining about the cuts and enjoy what you voted for, wokie-tokie 😉
The Right is actually the left. Me, a big brain.
The fault of the right, no doubt. What? Eh? Oh.
Quick check: what party do the mayor and state senator for culture belong to? Ah.
The root of the problem is that Berlin is very poorly governed, no matter who governs. They pissed away the good years and did not plan for the bad. Now they are stuck with a town that supports only Club Kids and refugees.
Blame the refugees….. always excellent scapegoats, they are totally unaware of their influence upon German culture.
Sadly, blaming immigrants has been successful in the US elections, as it has historically everywhere. How many generations have to pass before we acknowledge our own origins?
Now, now, Germany is generous and refugees are expensive. Somewhere I think I read that the Land Berlin spends 500 million a year on refugees (correct me; I hope I am wrong).
The Club Kids are fortunately supported by Daddy in Schwaben, but their drug expenses escape VAT tax.
I wonder how many in the demonstration who applauded the hundreds of thousands of male “refugees” in 2015? And are they also in favour of Energiewende? There’s where the money went. Congrats!
I wasn’t aware it was an asylum seeker who had decided to cut 130 million from the culture budget. Who knew.
Direct expences related to refugees and their families:
– Money because the parents won’t/can’t work
– Housing because they have no money to pay the rent
– Special pedagogy in schools because many of the children can’t speak German
– Police/private security guards because crime is soaring
– Counterterrorism (welcome to the Christmas marked in the style of Alcatraz)
+++
I would say the people who voted for this should be grateful the cuts aren’t bigger than €130 million.
So…the costs are racism. Got it.
– Easily solved – let them work.
– Idem
– Schooling is also a cultural service.
– Fiction, as any data shows.
– Idem, as anyone who’s been to a Christmas market knows. And as any data shows.
(And are you suggesting asylum seekers don’t consume culture? Yeah, racism, as I said).
You needed only four words before racism was mentioned 🙂 Bravo!
Deeply fascinating, your world is still in 2015 where migrants are a resource and we just have to “let them work.”
How many Afghan immigrants do you see in the theaters and orchestra halls of Berlin an average evening? I would imagine between 0 and 2.
The greatest threat to democracy is not having any candidate worthy of one’s vote in an election. Clearly, many electors felt that way in this year’s UK election, bringing with it a low turnout, at about 60%. Despite this, the present government received a huge majority with only 34% of the vote.
I am not a supporter of any party or any particular electoral system. They all have their pros and cons. I am just concerned that having any government with a huge majority achieved by a small number of popular votes is a recipe for popular unrest and instability. Wait and see…
