Relax man. You take a lot of thing to seriously. Being green and having a strong leftist focus has been in their roots since their were founded. And I'm sorry for you to say, but some points of their agenda do do make sense for me. Here in Germany we have such a strong, almost unregulated livestock breeding were tons of antibiotics are being used every day to keep all the animals grow in the stocks extremly fast. For which reason? All this nitr...
The Greens were originally a motley crew
interest group that promoted ecological responsibility. A
movement that was instrumental in creating an environmental awareness that had been absent. A very good thing. A necessary wake-up call, if you will. And much of what they promoted was eventually adopted by the large
Volksparteien CDU/CSU and SPD.
But when it comes to confronting issues that require
realpolitische Lösungen (rational solutions anchored in pragmatic realities), they have time-after-time displayed an ineptitude that is only surpassed by a condescending, know-it-all arrogance. In terms of the lack of the ability to conduct themselves within the parameters of a rational
Realpolitik, they are actually not unlike the AfD populist right. But to the Greens defense, they
have produced a very small number of rational and highly competent politicians. Personally, I considered Joschka Fischer an excellent foreign minister (the SPD/Green coalition under Gerhard Schröder). Winfried Kretschmann, the minister president of Baden-Württemberg, is another positive example. Cem Özdemir has been and can be reasonable. And the polarizing Boris Palmer absolutely
nailed it with regard to his analysis and predictions regarding Angela Merkels' refugee policies. Alas, the above mentioned represent small islands of rationality in a sea of delusional nincompoops. Habeck and Baerbock leave me patently unimpressed. In fact, I consider them as dangerous as the assorted AfD figures (Gauland, von Storch, etc.) that are poluting Germanys' sociopolitical currents.
