   > Forecasts suggest it will have 23% of seats in parliament, just under the number needed to set up parliamentary committees of inquiry that can summon witnesses and set the news agenda.
   
   The hell does "set the news agenda" mean?

     In this context, "setting the news agenda" refers to the ability of a political party or entity to influence the topics, issues, and stories that are covered by the media, particularly in the context of parliamentary committees of inquiry.
     
     In Germany, parliamentary committees of inquiry (Untersuchungsausschüsse) have the power to investigate specific topics, summon witnesses, and gather evidence. By controlling or influencing these committees, a party can effectively decide which issues are investigated, which witnesses are called to testify, and which topics are prioritized.
     
     As a result, the party can shape the narrative and focus of the media's coverage, influencing what stories are reported, how they are framed, and which aspects are emphasized. This, in turn, can impact public opinion, policy debates, and the overall political discourse.

     I didn't see a single American yelling at the Germans about how to vote in their elections, incidentally. At the very least, I didn't offer my opinion about German politics to any Germans. But if I had a dollar for every German I saw screech "ORANGE MAN BAD" at an American ahead of our election. I mean, fuck's sake, Europeans spend more time lecturing Americans about our politics than they do explaining why their countries all suck.

     @p Same. I asked another bot and it gave the same explanation. I think Reuters used weird wording, making it sound as if parties directly mandate what's on the news lol
     
     The second explanation
     ***
     "Setting the news agenda" here refers to the ability to influence what political and social issues dominate public discourse by using institutional power, in this case, parliamentary committees of inquiry. These committees can investigate government actions, summon witnesses, and generate media coverage, shaping what topics receive attention and how they are framed. If a party like the AfD secures enough seats to form such committees, they can push their preferred narratives into the mainstream, forcing other parties and media to engage with them, even if only to respond or refute. This is a significant tool for political influence, even if the party remains excluded from government.

     @p I don't know where it's coming from but in Germany especially (not exclusively) there is this image of the simpleton American. My guess is the prevailing cynicism that operates like mortar, filling every gap and fissure, in the construction of German perspective. That cynicism is seen as realism, and they don't see it in the American mentality. While Germans have a knack for solid engineering and quality production, looking at recent history, it is often Americans who innovate, create, and steer the winds of time. Making me wonder whether that European cynicism is just a different form of delusion, on the other end of the spectrum.

     @p I must also add these attitudes (arrogance, feelings of superiority) are more emphasized in Liberal demographics, the establishment. Counterpoints to it are Orban's conservative Hungary, openly friendly to MAGA and America; similar sentiment from Italy's Meloni who welcome Trump's victory, also conservative; and, yes, also Germany's AfD, who accepted Musk's support with open arms.

     subjectively: of the parts of my life that i can remember 90s were good, 2001 turned things (HST predicted this pretty accurate) and it's getting more shit every decade. a slow process, but still. entertainment is a pretty good marker for this: the only thing that gets done are lukewarm continuations of old franchises.

     Funny you should mention that, because my ex had this observation that the popular movies from the late 90s to 2001 were mostly about how the world is fake in one way or another, Fight Club and The Matrix and the whole slew of movies from around then.

     I don't trust anyone that turns every conversation into one about Jews.
     
     "If you meet the Buddha in the road, cut him down." And some people have an inverse-Buddha, and the same principle applies. Finger pointing to the moon, a man looks at the moon and a dog looks at the finger.
     
     I don't buy that Jews are the ones stopping you from whatever it is you want to do, but it doesn't fucking matter: just pay attention to the thing instead of the thing that is the thing you think is usually in the way of the thing or you're not any better than the whiny baizuo complaining that capitalism is the real reason they are unhappy.

     Israel is the US: https://fsebugoutzone.org/notice/AqvPkinS9nXBn0iVJg . The TL;DR is that this is a Cold War thing. What you are saying is the equivalent of saying that North Korea runs China.
     
     Otherwise, you'll have to explain why the EU keeps sending money to Palestine, and why, the first time Trump was in office and he said we were going to stop funding Palestine, Belgium announced they were going to make up the US funding cut ( https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/palestine-aid-unrwa-cut-donald-trump-belgium-occupied-territories-israel-a8166351.html ), and then announced even more money the last year because they were worried Trump would get elected again, they started pushing two get Palestine into the UN. Germany's allegedly *increased* Palestinian aid by 300 million euros: https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/en/aussenpolitik/2627918-2627918 . I don't know what proportion of the total that represents (you can probably look up what your government is giving to Hamas to keep the opiates flowing better than I can), but it's not my tax dollars.
     
     > Holocaust didn't happen btw.
     
     NetzDG is being used for the 'rona now. Holocaust is old news. You have to tell people that zinc is good for them if you wanna get in trouble.
     
     Anyway, whether or not the Holocaust happened doesn't affect any decision I make. It has less influence on my life than the brontosaurus/brachiosaurus debate, and I have spent too much time hearing about it from people that are probably on the BMBF payroll anyway.

     Until "performative yelling on Twitter because everything is so Important" started, you'd see Euros complain about US politics but nobody from outside the country yelled at me during an election about how to vote. Nobody *inside* for that matter: I was on Twitter during elections before that. Politics got really shrill around 2013.

     @bonifartius Everyone's shooting for realism but they're all landing in the same not-quite-realism region, and they all recycle their models. It's a dark age.
     
     A lot of the older aesthetics came from the limitations but people that could make something interesting within those limitations could make something interesting now. As an industry, games are hit-based, so the studios get very risk-averse with the big budget games, so there's pressure to look like the other games. The interesting visuals usually come from indie games. Hotline Miami, games like that. Stray looked really great. People lost their shit when they saw The Last Night (and then Twitter killed that game). But then you look at something like Cyberpunk 2077, right, it's like the entire budget went into the art department.

     @p some things improved after the 90s, i think the frostbite engine had some cool effects going on but not much improved since bf3.

     i thnk aesthetics are most often born from the limitation of the medium. pixel art, wood block prints, etc. modern computer graphics don't have as many limitations anymore. last interesting 3d style was something like cel shading imo.
