Geopolitics

Fascinating to contrast where AfD and BSW, Germany’s far right & left parties, overlap vs where the progressives and MAGA in the US do.

Cofounder axis.xyz (YC W22). Humans for the best machines for the rest. Interested in legibility and beauty.

Also fascinating is the difference between Die Linke and BSW (both German radical left).

Btw, I know it's not your wording, but pro/anti Ukraine war seems quite a biased way to frame the topic. Pro/anti support for Ukraine would be more neutral.

Fair point. Those are actually my words. I was summarizing my view in Apple notes because of word count limit.

The background is that BSW is a spinoff of the Left due to exactly those differences you hinting at. This goes as far as that sitting elected representatives changed from one party to the other, giving BSW an instant - yet unelected - representation in the Bundestag.

In reality, however BSW is competing with AFD for mostly the same voters and around a similar fear and victim-hood driven platform of us against them.
