The “destruction of civilization” is what the US regime is pursuing: Not only is it doing everything in its power to reverse all civilizational progress in its own country, but it is led by an organge-colored rapist whose only ambition is to enrich himself and protect himself and his degenerate co-conspirators from prosecution for the most repulsive crimes imaginable.

A transatlantic alliance with such monsters, who are even openly threatening a war of aggression against Greenland because they can’t think of anything better than such an idiotic bluff?

GTFO!

The man owes his entire career to cronyism with the business world, especially his close ties to US corporations. Since he is much more of a US business lobbyist than a politician, his neo-capitalist drivel is self-explanatory.

Friedrich Merz (born November 11, 1955, in Brilon), the tenth Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany since May 6, 2025, has been the federal chairman of the CDU since 2022. A former business lawyer and long-time top lobbyist, he has held leading positions in a number of companies and business-related interest groups and networks. [1] Until the end of 2021, Merz was vice president of the CDU’s business lobby group, the Economic Council, and a guest member of the presidium of the Small and Medium-Sized Business and Economic Union (MIT). In 2022, the MIT welcomed Merz’s election as CDU chairman and stated that he was the first chairman to be a member of the MIT.[4] Armin Peter, most recently deputy press spokesman for the Economic Council and press spokesman for the then Economic Council Vice President Merz, has been deputy spokesman for the CDU and personal press spokesman for Merz since February 2022.[5] [6] Merz continues to be a member of the following organizations: Founding member of the New York section of the CDU Economic Council,[7] lobby organization Society for the Study of Structural Policy Issues,[8] Ludwig Erhard Foundation network, which brings together lobbyists and top politicians. Merz worked as senior counsel for the law firm Mayer Brown LLP until the end of 2021; prior to that, he was a partner for nine years.[9] During his time at Mayer Brown, he advised clients on corporate law, M&A transactions, compliance, and banking and finance law. According to research by CORRECTIV, he represented BASF as a lawyer on several occasions in 2010 and 2011. [10] He was a member of the board of directors at BASF Antwerp for almost a decade, where he headed the “Paints & Pigments” division of the BASF Group. From 2009 to 2019, Merz was chairman of Atlantik-Brücke [11] and from 2016 to 2020, he was chairman of the supervisory board of the German branch of asset manager BlackRock, for which he mediated relationships with important clients, authorities, and government agencies in Germany. [12] He was active in the Market Economy Foundation as a member of the Political Advisory Board of the Tax Code Commission. [13] In connection with his candidacy for the CDU party chairmanship, Merz ended his role as chairman of the supervisory board of Blackrock at the end of the first quarter of 2020.[14][15] At the 2021 CDU party conference, he lost a digital runoff election to his rival Armin Laschet. At the party conference on January 22, 2022, he was elected chairman of the CDU with 94.62% of the delegates’ votes. [16] On September 23, 2024, Merz was officially nominated as the CDU and CSU’s candidate for chancellor in the next federal election. [17]

I would say that it wasn’t us, the ordinary people, who created this terrible world, but we definitely allowed the worst among us to do so - and we even rewarded them for it, so that this monstrous world is now ruled by the most ruthless, like a monarchy that was believed to have been overcome. Apparently, civilizational progress is not bound to the passage of time, as I strongly suspect that we are regressing civilizational: back to absolutism with its degenerate rulers who give free rein to their perverse desires - and they can do so, because they are at the top of a society they exploit with impunity.

Has the guy finally realized he’s still a visionary? After all, you’re usually on the right track if you do the exact opposite of what this jerk says. So maybe that’s the best approach here.

I’m not a fan of this proposal, because it can only be implemented with age verification, which we all know what that entails, but if he’s against it, you almost have to be for it.

Nah, better not. The right thing to do is ignore all his pronouncements and make sure everyone finally leaves his goddamn self-aggrandizing platform - and that he spends his twilight years deservedly in prison.

In any case: Fuck this pedophile piece of shit.

It’s truly unbelievable that legacy media headlines still portray the US regime’s statements as even remotely credible…

A quick reminder that arrest warrants have long been in place against the Israeli Prime Minister and the Israeli Defense Minister on suspicion of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Since Germany is legally obliged to enforce arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court, the German government should be interested in arresting the Israeli government members in question, rather than making any kind of deal with them.

Budweiser originally refers to a Czech beer - Budějovický Budvar - brewed in České Budějovice (German: Budweis). Today there are two separate beers sold under the Budweiser name: the Czech original (often marketed as Budvar or, in some countries, Czechvar) and the US beer produced by Anheuser‑Busch. Trademark rights to the name “Budweiser” are divided by territory after long legal disputes: Anheuser‑Busch owns the Budweiser trademark in the United States and in many other markets, while Budějovický Budvar retains rights in other countries (in Germany for example).

So Budweiser was never really a US beer - it is just sold under this name to give the impression that it is a good beer, which the original is, but its US imitation never was.

Fun fact, which has unfortunately become completely meaningless since the US company Mondelēz (formerly Kraft Foods) has bought the brand: Since around 2000, the Toblerone logo has featured a mountain, the Matterhorn, a well recognized symbol of Switzerland. Hidden in the silhouette of the mountain is a bear, the heraldic animal of the Swiss city of Bern, where the brand was established in 1908.

“Toblerone” is a play on words combining the name “Tobler,” the surname of one of the company’s founders, and “Torrone,” the Italian name for honey and almond nougat. The brand name also includes “Berne,” which is the historical English spelling for the city of Bern.

I find the AI audio translation on YouTube, which Google now seems to be imposing as standard, to be the most absurd thing of 'em all: even the intros are so poorly translated that it couldn’t be more ridiculous.

I’m sure many users don’t realize that this is supposed to be a “feature” and mistakenly believe that the foreign-language video they deliberately clicked on is obviously AI-generated because the audio track is so horribly bad.

Well, another reason for PeerTube…

This development will certainly not end with books - countless other creative and intellectual achievements have long been affected. That is precisely the problem with generative models, whether they involve text, code, video, images, or whatever else. All of this boils down to the fact that the already precarious situation for everyone who creates value by themselves is continuing to deteriorate. Professional work in all these areas will undoubtedly become even more precarious in the future, with artists, designers, and writers, who were already in a difficult position, now being joined by industries such as software development and administrative work.

Please don’t get me wrong: I am anything but a technology pessimist, but the business model of the so-called AI companies is so exploitative and their owners so unscrupulous that, given the status quo (cloud models), I can hardly imagine that this will lead to even halfway fair working conditions or remuneration models for people who create value in the form of intellectual achievements. I mean, this post is a vivid example.

So we can assume that in the future, only slob written by LLMs will be available. I mean, who would be willing to spend hundreds of hours writing a book when even huge corporations that earn billions from it won’t pay the author a single dime?

The purpose of business school MBAs is nothing more than networking. These degrees cost a fortune, and that’s exactly the point: to bring opportunists together. I’m almost sure it’s next to impossible to fail this degree, because it’s not about knowledge at all, but merely about gaining entry into senior management.

Well, that’s what these ruthless monsters are all about, and that’s why fascism is on the rise again worldwide: because it allows billionaires to legitimize their depravity through this inhuman ideology.

That’s how it was back in Nazi Germany, where economic leaders ultimately lost control over Hitler, leading to millions of deaths and unbearable suffering, but the billionaires got away with it because they were not prosecuted for their crimes – so now they are trying again with this despicable ideology, and the saddest thing is that people have not learned the slightest thing from history, but are falling once again for the obvious lies of the neo-Nazis just as they did before.

The US president may be an asset to Russia, but he is first and foremost a puppet of the US elite, who really have nothing at all to gain from an attack on the EU - quite the contrary. So I consider this to be nothing but empty talk.

The orange child molester may have become completely megalomaniacal by now because he gets away with all his obvious crimes, but his masters are not and will not allow him to cost them hundreds of billions.

I cannot for the life of me see what the US elite would gain from an invasion of Greenland, but it is obvious that they would lose a great deal. The EU would be forced to side with China, and that would mean that the decline of the US would accelerate by decades. All the highly armed military machinery is irrelevant if the enemy has nuclear weapons. The Nazi regime in the US could be capable of starting a nuclear war of annihilation out of arrogance, but if you look at North Korea, it quickly becomes obvious that even completely detached, completely insane psychotic despots would not risk that.

I think that’s exactly the point: the US regime wants to use these idiotic threats to show the population that their will counts for absolutely nothing anymore. It’s yet another attempt at intimidation by these ruthless criminals.

It’s a shame how the wretched US-regime has completely destroyed even such important organizations as the CDC. I recently talked about this with some old friends: All of them are specialists or senior physicians in hospitals in Switzerland, Germany, and Spain—and they all agreed: The CDC can no longer be taken seriously, as virtually all competent medical professionals have been dismissed. This is a huge loss that is costing many lives, and not just in the US.

And why all this? Just because of the blatant idiocy of this corrupt regime, which acts beyond all reason. Their actions are truly a crime against the whole world.

Please don’t get me wrong: I’m up for a laugh, but not for most of the stuff that 4chan finds funny because it’s at the expense of others (exceptions are, of course, those people who are quite rightly targeted, such as Nazis or TV priests who only enrich themselves at the expense of their clientele).
