In the last few days, I've been getting ads for the German elections, mostly for the CDU. Oh my goodness! The great leader Merz is in a meeting with important people, he's at a party rally, he's walking down the corridor of some government office/corporation, all in slow motion, and behind him are his smiling followers, he's standing thoughtfully in his office (black and white, because why not?), he's speaking to the crowd, he's leading to a better future...

Yes, you've probably noticed that even in the ad there's nothing about the main problems that are choking both Germany and the rest of the EU, let alone solving some of the problems of average people, from the Taliban invasion to deindustrialization and its consequences.

"Wir sind stolz auf unser schönes Land."

Dude, your country has become a third-world shithole, and you're fantasizing about the beauty of lakes, rivers and old castles.
