People in Nairobi complain about the rent and cost of living, just as people in Newcastle or Frankfurt.

@AwetTesfaiesus Und dann werden sie nicht gewählt oder abgewählt, weil andere Parteien sagen „sie machen euch Vorschriften!1!!“, welche dann diese machen, wenn sie an der Macht sind.

Ich lach darüber noch immer, weil ich mich nicht aufregen will.

@PedroLeal_ @die_Leo @ScottishGreens @ZackPolanski

That is a very reasonable thing to do. It would be preferable though if you could reap the benefits of hustling in your lifetime, wouldn't it?

Also: cost of old age nursing, might easily nix plans like that.

@AwetTesfaiesus @die_Leo @ScottishGreens @ZackPolanski it's of no importance to me: I work for my family, not for myself. As my parents also did for me and my sister and how I hope my kids will learn to do for theirs, if they choose to have them. We are building wealth for the future generations, not spending it all in ours.

@PedroLeal_ @die_Leo @ScottishGreens @ZackPolanski Yet I still think that, as a human being, your dignity demands respect rather than serfdom.

@AwetTesfaiesus @die_Leo @ScottishGreens @ZackPolanski my dignity is intact in what I choose to do for my family and future generations. Just as I honour the past generations for what they've done for us.

@AwetTesfaiesus @ScottishGreens @ZackPolanski @LaChasseuse I really like this spot and wish the German greens would a similar campaign.

@wuppi @AwetTesfaiesus @ScottishGreens @ZackPolanski @LaChasseuse The German green party was government until recently.

People in Nairobi complain about the rent and cost of living, just as people in Newcastle or Frankfurt.

Yet, everybody thinks that this is somehow a local phenomenon: they think: my city isn't working, my country isn't working.

These aren't local issues. It's the same issue manifesting everywhere.

@ScottishGreens @ZackPolanski and #ukgreens is the right topic at the right time. Stop running and look, so hope becomes normal again.

@AwetTesfaiesus @die_Leo @ScottishGreens @ZackPolanski yeah it takes time. My home loan is about 30y, but the fact is in the end, that house will be paid off for my children. They can live in it or sell it and do as they please. I may be a janitor, but it is to my kids, not to the bank.

@PedroLeal_ @AwetTesfaiesus @die_Leo @ScottishGreens @ZackPolanski

Buying a house in a municipality next to Frankfurt costs around 500k €. Mortgage payment over 30 years will be almost as much. That's like 2.5k a month.

That's unrealistic for most folk. Especially when they have kids. Heck, I know single parents who had to go into debt just because of a blow of fate.

I'm so fucking sick of rentier capitalism. And better alternatives with more common property are possible.

Haha!

Als ich den Clip gestern gesehen habe, habe schon ich überlegt, wie ich ihn den deutschen Grünen als Inspiration zukommen lasse.

Das hat sich jetzt wohl erledigt.

So viel besser als Hundeblick im Wollpulli auf Plakaten.

PS: Du hast mich neulich überzeugt. Ich bin eingetreten.

@mina Das schonmal seeeeehr schön, entbindet aber absolut nicht davon, den Clip zu pushen und zu teilen.

@Hachka @wuppi @ScottishGreens @ZackPolanski @LaChasseuse 'was government' might be a bit of a stretch to say th least.

Maybe even a malevolent misrepresentation.

@AwetTesfaiesus @wuppi @ScottishGreens @ZackPolanski @LaChasseuse I am almost 70 and have lieved through almost all governments that you are so kind to remind me of. I cheered when the first greens came into the bundestag, I elected them. Only to find out htat the green party was excellent for environment solutions, but the same old story for small people like me with their small lives: You up there -- us down here. At least they tried to preseve a world we can struggle in.

No intention to safe the reputation of capitalism, but I am pretty sure market capitalism died before 2010. It's over now and none of us won.
