MODERATORS
Yeah, they want all kinds of things. A Brexit for Germany, less taxes, more taxes, less freedom, ruin the economy, autocracy instead of democracy...
Do they really want all those individual things, or do they just want a Fourth Reich, but can't outright admit that, so have to come up with plausible cover?
I don't know and my empathy isn't good enough to picture what a person like that wants. They seem to be pissed, the complexity of the world is too much for them. And they're a bit low IQ but speak up immediately and tell some simple truths that won't ever work in reality. Their thinking is: When I was young everything felt simpler. When I was young we also had a different currency. So bringing back the old currency will solve all issues... So I'm not sure if they even want the fourth Reich. I think they just want to be negative and complain. They'd probably also complain if that happened.
That's quite accurate. When Corona started, they were the first to demand strict measures.
As soon as the government started to take measures, they were out in the streets protesting against mandatory masks and everything…
