Yes, that's a funny tale. And polemic bullshit...

In reality anti-semitism is still wide-spread, no one needs to turn those people. But for quite some time it wasn't acceptable to say that bullshit out loud. And now a lot of those people are even willing to support a terror organisation like Hamas implicitly or openly, because that gives them the chance to finally have a justification to express their anti-semitism openly again.

When an UN commissioner openly talks about all "media being controlled by the Jewish lobby" you don't need any made-up excuse like "they are critical about us, so they must be anti-semite" anymore. That guy is an actual anti-semite, shown by parroting a century old anti-semitic conspiracy about their secret world control.

And it's even worse. People like you are part of the problem. As long as there are easy to see anti-semites among Israel's critics, but you prefer to ignore them, it's actually easier for Israel to run with the bullshit story of how all criticism is anti-semitic and anti-Israel. Because the easiest way to lie is to hide it between some truths.

Get rid of obvious anti-semites among critics that anyone can clearly spot -unless you are a total moron or antisemite yourself- and suddenly your criticism seems so much more valid and is not vulnerable anymore to being attacked as antisemitsm, something Israel's propaganda departments will happily exploit. Fail to do so and you look just like a moron/anti-semite, actually helping Israel's bullshit PR by devaluating your own arguments.

I just don't understand why people are attached to it

Because words aren't racist, people and opinions and sentiments expressed by them are.

When the term ricing is used for so long and 95%+ of people don't know where it came from and have zero negative connotations associated with it, your argument (from their perspective) sounds like this:

"Don't use the term, by its obscure origin you didin't even know about it is racist"

"I've been saying it for years without any racism intended nor perceived"

"bro ~~it's been~~ you are being a fucking racist for years"

And then you are surprised by the negative reaction...

Actually STANAG says yes. And it's not a new thing either. "Klicks" (=kilometers) are used for distances for more than a century.

There is no legal definition or concept for a "wealth tax". You usually tax income or you tax property.

And while taxing property is the more obvious one, both can be a wealth tax depending on who is paying majorily by its design (for example a progressive income tax where low incomes barely pay anything reaching 90%+ over a certain limit -see 1950- is definitely a wealth tax).

Dann will diese Verfassung die Demokratie und die Deutschen einfach nicht vor ihren Feinden schützen.

Die Verfassung ist ein Dokument. Die kann selbstständig niemanden schützen.

Also warum spinnen wir hier von den Versäuminissen der Verfassung, wenn es in Wharheit diejenigen sind, die durch die Verfassung die Macht haben, etwas zu ändern, die sich weigern davon Gebrauch zu machen?

Wenn ich mich auf die Gleise stürze, hat dann auch die Gesetzgebung versagt, mich vor meinem Mörder zu schützen?

Genauso wie diejenigen, die offen übelste Nazi Rhetorik und rechtsradikale Schlachtrufe verwenden, sich dann umdrehen und sich als die vom Staat verfolgte Minderheit bezeichnen und die Grünen und Sozial demokraten als die offensichtlichen Nachfolger der National sozialisten, die es zur Rettung der deutschen Demokratie mit allen Mitteln zu bekämpfen gilt.

Da steckt keine inhaltliche Logik hinter, sondern es geht nur darum eine Opferrolle zu erfinden, den Diskurs kaputt zu machen und Begriffe wie Nazi bis zur Beutungslosigkeit zu entwerten.

But isn't that part of my point? Nobody would care about Merz' daily bullshit claim, if not for massive media attention. Only very few would view AfD morons as serious politicians if not for the media giving them a platform (one full of softball questions and zero criticism for their bullshit).

I don't want to pretend that the governemnt is perfect in their communication. Yet those actually communicating the most are also the ones completely mispresented constantly.

And simply blaming the government for a lack of communication is too short-sighted when we have a media that is on one-hand over-amplifying right-wing propaganda and underrepresenting government communication.

You are right that propaganda needs to be constantly debunked. But why is that a government only job with media having no part of it, while every single sentence of known populist at some side event is distributed two dozen times within an hour.

How can we not address that problem and pretend the government would just need to start communicating?

Ich hab explizit von der Rhetorik gegenüber Deutschland gesprochen. Und da Verteidigung Israels vor Gericht mit Unterstützung eines Völkermords gleichsetzen, ist genauso stumpfe Meinungsmache, wie wenn Netanjahu zu Hause rumtönt, dass kein Gericht ihnen reinzureden hat.

Den alten loswerden, weil er auf einem Treffen mit Nazis war, um jemand anderen vom selben treffen als Ersatz zu benennen, wäre selbst für AfD-Verhältnisse absurd.

All of the parties failed to even try to paint a positive picture of immigration in those past years, or at least clearly communicate the necessity of it: Germany alone needs 400.000 additional immigrants across all levels of qualification a year to keep up the workforce and keep the social systems running

And where did you get this information? From the parties that "failed to communicate" it for years perhaps, who have told us about their plans in their programs, then wrote them down for the coaltion agreement?

They told us we need immigration. They told us they wanted to make immigration easier for needed workes. And they told us expolicitly their plans. And they lost votes for it, as those plans were drowned out by right propaganda about illegal immigrants (has someone already found those imaginary millions yet)?

They also for example told us explicitly about future plans in transitioning industry and energy. And they again lost votes for it, as every moron chose to believe the narrative (from increasing totally green coal use, to prohibiting heating) instead,

Because the majority gives a fuck about information. They mostly listen to right-wing trash media.

What do German politicians transparently communicating their plans and German politicians universally hated have in common? They are the same people... As they are the ones targeted by desinformation the most and Germans are majorily too stupid to not fall for propaganda every single time.
