It seems to me that the established political parties of Germany — CDU, SPD, FDP — have become copycats and free riders of the regressive left and the Greens during the last 30 years. Sober thinking cognisant of the facts is vilified as rechtsradikal, i.e. radically right-wing (into which category also the Nazis fall in ordinary German parlance). The fact of the matter is that, CDU and SPD have become linksextrem, i.e. extreme left-wing. There is no shift to the right in Germany, rather a return to more reasoned political analysis by defamed forces such as the AfD. What we have suffered is an astounding shift of the traditional parties to the extreme left.
Below is an example of "right extremism" in Germany. After decades of complete Gleichschaltung (enforced uniformity of opinion and action) of all parties in the parliament under the umbrella of politically correct leftist extremism, it is becoming possible again to express genuine fact-based criticism and thus to reactivate the foremost function of a parliament: the enactment of sensible and legitimate political correction and opposition.
The emotional, irrational, religiously dogmatic nature of German eco-alarmism is clearly seen in the abandonment of nuclear energy for no sensible reasons at a time when the deceptive overdramatisation of the Fukushima accident was at its height.
But the myths used to herd the people into desired political directions do not square to form a coherent whole.
The gentlemen above, being a "dangerous populist", reminds us that in the wake of needlesly shutting down Germany's safe nuclear plants, the country became dependent on coal as the only reliable energy source to back up volatile renewables.
Which is, incidentally, why Germany has not been able to reduce CO2 emissions in the last decade, unlike the US so much hated by German eco-hypocrites, where substantial reductions have been registered thanks to fracking and the more extensive use of natural gas.
The "radical right-winger" above is simply pointing out that the Greens' current demand to shut down coal plants in Germany is creating a wide gap between energy delivered and energy needed and thus making for another big step in deindustrialising Germany, taking away the economic basis of our wealth (on which, I may add, expensive pipe dreams such as the Energiewende depend; for if Germans were less wealthy, they would have to be more realistic and would, of course, quickly see through the scandalous cost, ineffectiveness, and destructive consequences of the Energiewende).
He also points out that those who expect us to sacrifice Germany's industrial base to rescue the world in the face of global warming ignore the fact that even if decarbonisation would work as planned in Germany, it would effect global temperatures to a degree so minute that is not even measurable by metereological instruments in use today.
The incoherent schemes of the Energiewende, this is what I am saying, amount to the practice of pure religion without any concern for serious corroboration.
