I mean weird way to state it but basically true.
Noo, the Bagger 288 is designed to fight against godzillas and doom robots from the future!
Any incidental global destruction is mere completely unintended collateral damage.
They say Beelzebub himself fears the Bagger 288
Looks like Hambach, which is an absolutely humbling sight: https://maps.app.goo.gl/D5Qhp7CkHCgYebaA8
Holy hell, that hole could fit two Manhattans.
And iirc it’s something like 500m deep… absolutely awesome human achievement apart from the tiny little problems with it (it keeps eating up neighboring villages plus it produces brown coal which is the worst kind, environmentally speaking)
Also destroyed one of germanys oldest forests
It really is a funny feeling, where it looks genuinely awesome (in the literal sense) but at the same time is also horrifically destructive
They will fill it up with water once they are done mining. It’ll take about 40 years to fill though, between ground water and extracting water from the Rhine river.
More about this here. So yes, they do that. And nobody does that unless they hate their country. Or at least their lungs and climate because lignite is a catastrophe for both.
It’s the economy, stupid!
No, this isn’t true, but it fits the British and US stereotyping (dating back to +/- 1946) quite well.
You think that’s bad look up lithium and nickel mining. Since you want electric cars so much.
You mean mining reusable lithium and nickel vs this single use coal?
Look like Minecraft to me, perhaps the Germans really like the game

Wait this isn’t a picture of the AfD?
It eats from one side and shits to other (France) side. All is fine.
Spits out French wine.
Man i love reclaimers they’re so cool to be around
German Green Party abhors nuclear energy; after Fukushima the government closed all the nukes and coal filled the gap “but renewables will be ready soon”.
Totally BS what you talk. Es war Altmeier (CDU) der die Energiewende in die Scheiße gefahren hat. Now shut the fuck up.
Fukushima was such bullshit. It was never a good design in a reasonable place and they knew it when they built it. It’s like saying we shouldn’t wear shoes in snow because your neighbor wore Crocs in 3ft snow drifts while hiking and lost their feet.
No, your example is wrong.
It’s like saying nobody should go into the snow because it can’t be 100% ensured that all shoes are snowready.
Closer, but still wrong.
It’s like saying that wearing designer boots that are on a decade’s back order gradually fall apart as summer progresses is not how to keep your feet cool during endlessly worsening heat caused by the neighbors burning sneakers like the Springfield Tire Fire from The Simpsons.
(Compared to renewable energy, nuclear is more expensive, takes much longer to build, is more wasteful, and is becoming less and less effective and safe as a result of climate change warming the water sources the plants depend on)
True, and it still doesn’t include that the boot industry has no interest in building proper snow safety but just to make it as cheap as possible and if the boots fail, the state should pay you for your wet and cold feet.
That was actually done during the CxU/FDP (Center right/Liberal) coalition period. Green party was not in power.
3rd quarter of 2025 Germany had 64.1 % renewables and rising and imported only 8.2% more than it exported. Source: https://www.destatis.de/DE/Presse/Pressemitteilungen/2025/12/PD25_436_43312.html
Also, it’s building giant battery storage: https://www.heise.de/news/Energiewende-Europas-groesser-Batteriespeicher-soll-in-Alfeld-entstehen-9530856.html
Unfortunately the CDU is currently ruling and they’ll try to slow it down.
And “imports” do not happen, because there isn’t enough domestic energy to be had, like right-wing fearmongers want you to believe.
They happen because the European grid is working as intended and it just is the economically viable option to import instead of firing up expensive plants.
Germans don’t hate themselves, their government hates them.
Oh I hate us alright
Show me a country where this isn’t true.
It’s not continously true for Germans tho. When the green party makes it into the ruling coalition it always feels they care and a few good things happen for the benefit of most.
And then the next government takes those good things, which they have massively decried when they were the opposition, only to reimplement the exact same thing with a slightly modified name.
And I thought people would know that
greencolour is used for friendlies andredfor enemies 🙂↔️Oh wait… I chose AMD over Intel and nVidia 🤦
Pretty sure Americans hate themselves
Somalia. There isn’t really a functional government to speak of, so if the people even acknowledged the UN-backed central government exists, that would be something.
