        Absolute dogshit. Got us into Afghanistan and Kosovo, were responsible for the insanely neolib Agenda 2010 labour market reforms and are now chief architects of…well everything that’s going on right now. Even the declared neoliberals in government aren’t as hawkish and insane.

        The worst part is a gigantic part of the youth votes for and places their hopes on them. FFF basically got swallowed by them, because they fell for the Greens posturing as environmentalists.

        They’re the absolute worst of all the “hawkish neolibs with progressive aesthetics to funnel actual progressive forces back into the system” parties I know around the world and unfortunately they’re insanely good at it.

          That’s how it’s going to be in the foreseeable future, isn’t it? In the western world and adjacent countries. Politicians who go from speaking about evils of climate change to “we must nuke Russia for being evil”. And the upcoming generations of voters will clap and refuse any criticism, because “they support gay pride parades” and “reducing plastic waste”.

        They’re a neoliberal party who are still somehow seen as lefties because the party was founded by anti-nuclear weapons (and energy) hippies.

        It even appears that Foreign Minister Baerbock got her foreign policy chops from Washington itself.

      • From what I can tell all mainstream German political parties suck. Even Die Linke, who ostensively claims to be leftist, goes out of their way to claim that criticizing Israeli apartheid is anti-semitic
