The guy worked for Black Rock who I've only heard of in "evil corporation" contexts. He made millions of dollars doing this work and then he gets back into politics and his one of his first priorities is lowering the taxes of corporations during a period where the government needs to be raising more funds and investing in its people! How is that not an obvious quid pro quo? Isn't he not an obviously compromised actor who's more ambitious than he is good willed?

Not even talking about conservatives as vehicles for societal decline, how is Merz not viewed by everyone as someone who has only his and his wealthy friends interests at heart by his past actions and history? Of course he's not the change we need, he's conservative - they, on average, cause pain to the working class. But even more so Merz is compromised, is he not? Just like the FDP after their last coalition stunt.

If someone, including a whole party, put party or power before the people of Germany (and I would argue the people of Europe and mankind as a whole) shouldn't they be barred from ruling? They're exactly the people you don't want running.

The thing is, lowering taxes and being corrupt is the normal thing to do as a conservative. People should know this, yet they keep voting for these parties.

The most outrageous thing about this is that we still call those grifters "conservatives". The adjective "conservative" comes from "to conserve". Those so-called "conservatives", though, do conserve nothing. In the contrary, they actually do destroy society and its infrastructure in order to increase their personal wealth and power.

Exactly. If „conservatives“ were really conservative, fighting climate change would be their main topic.
