LemonDrizzle posted:What are you basing this conclusion on? The overwhelming majority of AfD voters consider their personal financial situation to be good, and while they are slightly less economically satisfied than people voting for other parties, the differences are so minor as to be basically irrelevant: The difference to the other parties is pretty jarring. The "feel good" parts of other parties are within 2% of each other, and AfD is 6% below that. I think the AfD has two main groups of voters at the moment: Strong (non-Nazi) nationalists and strongly conservative people, who are happy to finally have political representation again. And a large group of people who have been shocked into voting by the refugee crisis. I'd bet at least half of the people voting AfD yesterday did it because they wanted to "send a message" about their desire for limited integration. Also, most other parties in Germany have big problems at the moment, so that was probably a factor too.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Yeah, IIRC, any European alive a thousand years ago who has living descendants today is an ancestors of everyone of European descent. Looking it up, the same logic applied to the entire world makes anyone 3400 years ago with a living descendant an ancestor to every human being. Which, uhm, seems to really piss off people of certain ideologies. Is this the calculation that goes "you have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 grandparents etc, so 30 generations ago you'd have more ancestors than there were people alive at the time"? I figure it never really works out that way, because people mostly had children with others in their small regional / social / ethnic group. If I'm descended from Charlemagne I don't mind tho
