  • They are already in parliament and will gain votes but they will not govern, that’s pretty much guaranteed. We will get a conservative-led government though, a little to the right of Merkel. Most probably a conservative/social democratic coalition (think Mitt Romney Republicans with Biden Democrats) or a less likely less stable conservative/green coalition (think Mitt Romney Republicans with AOC Democrats).

    The new government will be pro Ukraine (with the conservatives and greens extremely so, with the social-democrats a little hesitant but mainly, too) but also pro-Israel (with the greens more hesitant). All parties involved are pro European integration.

    To be honest, foreign policies will not change much except for the European Chat Control legislation. While the current German government is strongly against it, Social Democrats are somewhere between indifferent and in favor, conservatives are strongly in favor and while Greens are against it, I can see them agreeing to a bad compromise with the conservatives.


  • No, you’re just making no sensical argument at all. Milk was farmed from dairy cattle because it was consumed by humans. It’s simple supply and demand. There is no rational argument at all that if mankind would stop consuming milk, it would still be farmed. Why would any farmer go through the effort to upkeep cows and keep them impregnated to make them produce milk if they cannot trade it or won’t consume it? Yes, humans have free will but they don’t produce stuff with high effort just for fun. Except maybe very sick minds that just enjoy the animal cruelty. And you won’t elaborate what your actual point is anyway.

    Also, not that it matters but you’re arguing that dairy farming existed before the market is simply wrong. There has been trade between human civilizations long before we began domesticating animals.
