because they did everything wrong in the past and learnt from it.
Thats one advantage Germany has against the rise of the alt-right/far-right.
They've seen this shit before, and dealt with it. And they know it ain't pretty.
shutting down nuclear plants in response to Fukushima?
The only thing it's learning anything from is the stasi
Some leader of the free world after trump
Nuclear power has always been fought against by small but vocal activist groups preaching prosperity to the tiny desert lizards who've lost their homes to nuclear waste barrels and it certainly doesn't help that when a nuclear plant screws up everyone goes into hysteria because of just how rarely it happens and the uninformed masses eat it up. Fukushima had a world wide impact on nuclear power and Germany's over reaction was among many. I'd imagine Merkel just wanted political brownie points.
You do raise a point though, nuclear plants aren't a dime a dozen and I find it strange that politicians not only have the power but also seem all too willing to take an excuse to go on a crusade against anything nuclear when its the best thing since buttered bread
You're right i guess the picture in the article triggered me in combination with that post
uh oh... whenever Germany wanted to control and 'tame' things, it never went well
Except the thing they want to tame helped cause the US election to get hijacked by a hostile foreign power and pump out false narratives and propaganda to elect an insane, criminal business mogul that actively passes legislation to help fill his friends’ and highest bidders’ pockets.
Oh please do show me how killing millions is the same as combating fake news.
Shut up...
It's going well
But the problem did not go away. Over the 15 months that followed, independent researchers, hired by the government, twice posed as ordinary users and flagged illegal hate speech. During the tests, they found that Facebook had deleted 46 percent and 39 percent.
Officials say early indications suggest the rules have served their purpose. Facebook’s performance on removing illegal hate speech in Germany rose to 100 percent over the past year, according to the latest spot check of the European Union.
