Well the current coalition isnt really doing any better in that regard. All they seem to care about is condemning climate protesters and the usual corrupt behaviour that we know from the CDU…
There would never have been a Deutschlandticket with CDU. Fuck FDP but at least neither Grüne nor SPD is openly fellating the AfD Nazis like the current CDU is doing.
“… in that regard.” I generally prefer our current government, but that does not morally prevent me from critizicing them and shitting on their bad behavior.
Better != Good
Deutschlandticket should have been a wake-up call for the desolate state of public transport.
For years and years DB complained that they cannot provide a more broadly available service because there is not enough public interest. Factual statements about the booking process for interstate travel and high fares for short travels were swept aside as hearsay.
Suddenly, public interest piqued because of the Deutschlandticket and it was a disaster with a capital D. Who got the blame? The company that failed to expand even tho they had a monopoly-by-law for over 60 years and that doesn’t pay for the infrastructure they are using to make profit? No, it was the customers of course.
What came of the whole ordeal? Absolutely fucking nothing. Business as usual.
Condemning climate protesters isn’t anything unique to politicians. We would all be behind them if they blockaded billionaire homes but sitting on highways only makes us despise them like we do PETA.
I’m powerless to do anything. Preventing me from moving my car from point A to B doesn’t make me motivated to stop climate change, it motivates me to see you arrested.
Protest a billionaire or a politician and I’m behind you.

If you cared then it wouldn’t matter where they protested
