    the fascists likely didn't get a super majority, but might be in that state's government as major coalition partner anyway.

    long term: political disorder within germany's inter-state federal politics, possible political firewall ("Brandmauer") against an entire federal state, possible conflict with NATO over logistics, Germany "being busy with itself" etc...

    Actually it's stage 3/4 of 5.

    1. Fringe: just a couple people meeting in a bar
    2. Normalization: go out and do protests, interviews, etc. People hate your ideas still, but you just keep saying them until they're normal.
    3. Mainstream: established parties get scared, start talking the radical positions to get voters back, thereby proving that the positions are actually fine! So why vote for the cheap copy then, if you can have the original?
    4. Power: win elections, start dismantling some Democratic institutions.
    5. Gleichschaltung: take over total power via manufactured coup etc. Then dismantle anything that's left.

    It literally explained all of that in the article.

    I don't understand what sucked about the website, found it perfectly usable myself. I did reject all cookies when it asked though, so maybe that helped.

    You mean the legally-mandated GDPR cookie notice? That have existed for over a decade?

    Have you visited the internet before yesterday?

    The cookie notice isn't legally mandated. It is legally mandated to ask users before collecting Data you don't actually need.

    https://gdpr.eu/cookies/

    Cookies are considered 'personal data' under GDPR and ePrivacy directive of the EU, requiring informed user consent for any non-essential cookie - what is non-essential is highly debated, which is why essentially any significant website in the EU errs on the side of caution and uses a cookie popup.

    Name any EU news website that doesn't use cookies in some form and have a cookie popup, I'll consider my statement inaccurate.

    i don’t have an example but one of the the privacy blogs i watch had numerous examples of even eu websites that were in violation and there being no consequences (i think it was ben jordan)

    mostly it was around the pop up not properly following the requirement but in some cases there just wasn't one

    now this was older so maybe they’ve since fixed themselves but this was after like a year or two of the requirement going into enactment so it wasnt an accident they were not in compliance
