Yesterday (May 11), there was a huge protest in Germany.
Nearly 1,000 protesters gathered outside Tesla's Gigafactory in Grünheide, Brandenburg, Germany, to oppose Tesla's proposed expansion plan.
Their slogan was: "Cut the tail of capitalism!" ”
At the protest site, German citizens clashed with the police
That's right! You read that right, it is indeed in Germany in 2024 that someone actually made such a slogan.
Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war, Germany's economy has deteriorated. In this case, if some enterprises invest in setting up factories, on the one hand, they will increase tax revenue, and on the other hand, they will create jobs, and everyone should welcome them with both hands.
However, young people in Germany do not think so. Their apparent reason is that Tesla is building a factory here, cutting down a lot of forests, affecting the survival of wild animals, and everyone is worried about the contamination of drinking water......
Needless to say, too many reasons are just speculation. Clear-eyed people know at a glance that the real reason for this lies in the clumsy tricks of the traditional German fuel car factories, spending a little money and finding a few young people to make trouble, hoping to disgust Tesla.
But the most important thing in this is that for a long time, there have been many young people or some organizations in Germany who have seen small profits in the near future and ignored the long-term. There are also Germans who have the impression that their IQ is gone.
Here are a few simple examples:
1) The "last generation" of the German environmental protection organization, in order to let everyone go out without driving, did not hesitate to glue their hands on the asphalt road, and did not want their hands? Is it interesting to deprive others of their freedom to go out?

2) Germany has shut down all its nuclear power plants for the sake of environmental protection, and as a result, Germany is short of electricity, what should I do? Then import it from France. As a result, all the electricity in France is generated by nuclear power plants.
Germany's nuclear power plants were converted into heritage parks, and a lot of lighting ceremonies were consumed for the attractions, while electricity was bought at a high price from a nuclear power plant in France
3) Since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Germany has been following the United States in sanctioning Russia, and even the Nord Stream pipelines have been bombed.
If these are all for the purpose of counter-aggression, but the price of the Germans themselves is to spend 3~5 times the price of importing natural gas from the United States, and then lead to a sharp increase in the cost of industrial production in their own country, an economic recession, and the enrichment of the United States.
Natural gas plants on the East Coast of the United States are booming because of purchases from Germany and other countries
4) For some time now, the German media has been saying that China's share of coal power is too high and polluting the environment. But the German media did not investigate how energy-efficient China's new coal-fired power plants are and how environmentally friendly.
Now, due to the high domestic energy prices, the Germans themselves have opened up coal power, which is really a slap in the face.
Germany restarts coal power
To sum up these, the core is still two.
The first is that a country must have its own long-term plans and core policies, and cannot run behind someone else's (the United States) buttocks, so that it can only be killed.
The second is: the education of young people should be the top priority, and young people should ask themselves a few more whys? Rational logical thinking is very important, because the future of young people is the future of this country.
