Germany decides to leave history in the past and prepare for war
-
From what I understand about WW1, it was just a huge clusterfuck

I feel like I’m doing ok. I want the Fediverse to happen and I imagine I have way more likes than dislikes. (I don’t know how to check.)
Sometimes, jokes don’t hit. Life has upvotes and downvotes and I accept both with the zeal of a competitor.
It's true, most of your comments seem to have a positive upvote score and therefore more upvotes than downvotes. Your Yale comment seems to have attracted the most downvotes in recent time, currently "-14" "upvotes"/points (seems that some lemmy clients just call the them "points")
So actually it seems that currently Lemmy itself doesnt support showing one users total upvotes/downvotes as this would very much resemble the reddit Karma system and they dont want that.
However as all your comments and the total sum of votes for each comment(I think also the bare numbers of upvotes/downvotes are visible but most clients just seem to sum it uo) are public one could theoretically write a script or build this into a Lemmy client. However the 3 clients I just used to test this don't support this and probably don't want to.

From my point of view, everyone was the Bad Guys in ww1.

I also see Putin as quite very
Very, quite

I wonder, is it meant to look like the famous graffiti?
very well could be.
I did not realize that graffiti was based on an actual photograph.

Germany's military, the Bundeswehr, recently got the all-clear for a massive increase in investment after parliament voted to exempt defence spending from strict rules on debt.
The country's top general has told the BBC the cash boost is urgently needed because he believes Russian aggression won't stop at Ukraine.
"We are threatened by Russia. We are threatened by Putin. We have to do whatever is needed to deter that," Gen Carsten Breuer says. He warns that Nato should be braced for a possible attack in as little as four years.
"It's not about how much time I need, it's much more about how much time Putin gives us to be prepared," the defence chief says bluntly. "And the sooner we are prepared the better."
Just don't draft people & you good. A drafted military never fights well

Yes. And they didn’t stop.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_v_Germany_(2014_FIFA_World_Cup)It was mean spirited.
Ehh, they scored more than half of those points within six minutes, and six out of seven within the first half hour. They stopped trying to score after halftime and dampened their post-goal celebrations. It seemed like they really weren’t trying to rub it in, but Brazil was just not being competitive.

I only see Putin as "really" but then I'm not German

It feels a bit weird being on the German side for once, also their track record of succeeding isn't that great, but I love our neighbors and I fully support them.
I'm just, sad the world is falling into another world war while we also just could be more kind and forgiving towards each other. It would save a lot of lives and leads of pain and agony.

A bit concerned if an AfD take-over can't be completely ruled out.

With the Putin-loving, fascist AfD as the second strongest party in the country? We will see, but I do not have high hopes.
So my understanding is that they are the second strongest, but still at around 20% the other German parties formed a coalition that froze Afd out of power. So they are still a threat in future elections, but they have limited impact on policy for now.
Is that correct or have I got the wrong idea?

Very, quite
Yes, shallow and pedantic.

O great the host is ready to play.

Their success rate would have been a lot higher if they had known when to stop ;-). I think if the stated goal of defending Europe from Russia doesn't change that they have a very good chance of success given the numbers they are talking about.

Mostly correct yes. The main danger lies in future elections.
