Where are the bald guys with combat boots?

The campaign against the “right wing” of the government, which sees its skins floating away, has given ordinary people the impression that Nazis are at work in Germany and want to take power.

 This was not solidarity with poor immigrants but rather a defense of one's own lifestyle, one's own standard of living, which appeared to be threatened by so-called rights. A very large proportion of the rally participants were state employees or people who live largely on state money. The campaign gave the impression that the principle of state support was being attacked from the right. Anyone who demanded that state benefits to immigrants should be limited or even scaled back would also be against transfer payments in general. Bishops, churches and charitable institutions saw their livelihoods at risk.

In the Ruhr area and large cities like Hamburg there are many networks connected to the parties, especially the social democratic ones, which are supported by the state, sports clubs, local associations, the SPD even has its own press group. The established middle class saw and sees its status threatened. AfD supporters are seen as newcomers who threaten their hard-earned status. These citizens expressed solidarity with the upper middle class against the proletariat.

 In fact, the residents of the new federal states are politically more mature and critical. less spoiled by prosperity; The party-affiliated networks that are sponsored by the state have emerged there to a limited extent.  

The labor disputes, which are currently being fought as collective bargaining disputes, are viewed with skepticism and suspicion by Western citizens. There is no visible support throughout. The desperate uprising of the farmers and agricultural workers is rigorously kept quiet. The Romanian and Polish wage levels that are being sought throughout the EU are not very attractive in the northern industrialized countries. The loss of status of the lower middle class seems inevitable.

• The political class refrains from investing in the federal railways, in the highways,
• only grants pensioners measly pension increases,  
• implements closures in the healthcare sector,
• has been delaying the adjustment of fees in the private fee schedule for almost 30 years
• slows down public administration.

 And yet not enough funding is being channeled from the bottom up. The upper middle class is gradually beginning to feel the reduced demand for consumer goods and services. The comments on the collective bargaining disputes are all the more hateful. Weselsky would be unpopular among the population, the mainstream press reports, and television shows “spontaneous” interviews with dissatisfied rail customers in order to direct discontent towards the union

But the lower class and lower middle class have long understood how they should be played off against each other. Therefore, it must be expected that a black-green government will be brought to power that can better exploit the conflicting interests through climate talk and increased militarization.

High vaccination rate –> many deaths
Using actuarial methods, this study shows a strong positive correlation. Because many sensed the danger, the government had to literally beat the substance into them.
