The last 3 nuclear power plants in Germany will be closed on Saturday.

Germany, after more than 60 years, completely abandons its own nuclear power industry: the authorities disconnect the last three operating nuclear power plants from the network. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1647147469308936195

@PawelK what? @spriter99880 @faust

@bonifartius @spriter99880 @faust

Thats too bad news. Dead wrong decision.

@PawelK @spriter99880 @faust ah, federation lagged and it didn't show the video!

@bonifartius @spriter99880 @faust

My people are watching this disaster unrolling with huge disbelief.

@PawelK @spriter99880 @faust
idk, people here were somehow traumatized by chernobyl. i get if one doesn't want old reactors which might explode and make large swaths of germany uninhabitable.

i _don't_ get that people are so much against nuclear energy that they won't even want research into safe designs.

germany really is the european powerhouse of stupidity now.

@bonifartius @spriter99880 @faust
I see the root causes in a following way:

Observable:
The reason has been taken over by emotions.

What they did:
I think they saw only a binary choice here:
-Full 'woke' monty
vs
-Fully cynical "Hard logic".

How it works elsewhere:
You can mix and match reason and emotions, you dont have to apply only one to all the issues.

@PawelK @spriter99880 @faust
indeed!

i think one thing also is that the prototypical german believes he's absolutely in the right. his ideas are the correct solution for every situation. the left is the worst in this regard, considering everyone who doesn't subscribe to their tribe not only as stupid but evil.

frightening how we germans went from having people like goethe etc. to those people we now let loose onto the world.

it's really tiresome for me.

@PawelK @spriter99880 @faust

NB: i also tend to fall into the german know-it-all trap, but it try my best to change it ;)

@bonifartius @spriter99880 @faust

To some extent its natural and built-in in all of us, see 'confirmation bias', but reason shall say now and then at least: "is it necessarily so?", " is there no other interpretation possible?".

When their children learn it, and start practicing regularly, this now wouldnt happen, and even 1939 would be much much harder to happen if possible at all.

@PawelK @spriter99880 @faust
at least people in 2021 should have known better than to mark and exclude people.

those who were the most feverish proponents of exclusion and coercion by punishment were leftists. leftists who had the gall to accuse people who were against exclusion, lockdowns, for listening to other scientific opinions, of being right-wing conspiracy theorists.

it really is clown world.
