So German parliament spent their time on this.
You'd hope they'd be laser-focused on accelerating the transition to cycling, public transport, and electric vehicles.

Groningen gaat vlaggen met Keti Koti, derde provincie die vlagprotocol aanpast
https://nos.nl/artikel/2615967-groningen-gaat-vlaggen-met-keti-koti-derde-provincie-die-vlagprotocol-aanpast
'Groningen is de derde provincie die van Keti Koti een vlagmoment maakt. Zeeland en Drenthe doen dit al langer.'
Het wordt tijd dat andere provincies zich er bij aansluiten.
... Misschien dat het kabinet dan ook eindelijk ook overstag gaat. 🥴

Word of the Week: Backpfeifengesicht
Do you ever look at someone and feel like punching them in the face?
Well, Germans have a unique word for that face: a Backpfeifengesicht
— a face that’s badly in need of a fist.

I was told today that "capitalism" or, more accurately, German "Kapitalismus" is a leftist "Kampfbegriff", essentially an idiological term to influence public opinion, as I understand it.
I have never even thought about capitalism as something other than a normal word meaning a specific thing. Of course, people have different attitudes towards capitalism itself. Left-leaning people would regard it as negative.
German Mastodonians, am I completely off…
