    NZZ is reactionary nuclear waste. It represents the Swiss allegiance to capital above all else. “Neutrality” my ass.

    I normally wouldn’t have read the article but the sub-headline caught my eye and I had to find out what the author meant.

    Kulturell und politisch gehen die Landesteile unterschiedliche Wege. Der Krieg vertieft den Graben noch, da Ostdeutsche und Westdeutsche Russland und die Nato völlig verschieden beurteilen. Moskau beutet die Spaltung mit seiner Propaganda aus – unter Beihilfe von AfD und Sahra Wagenknecht. Die beiden Parteien bilden die fünfte Kolonne Putins.

    Culturally and politically, the two parts of the country go different ways. The war is deepening the rift, as East Germans and West Germans have completely different views of Russia and NATO. Moscow is exploiting the division with its propaganda - with the help of the AfD and Sahra Wagenknecht. The two parties form Putin’s fifth column.

    In other words, “everything I don’t like is Putin’s propaganda, wahhh.” Not that I like either of those two parties either, but the infantilization of mainstream political discourse is really frustrating.
