  • I compared these numbers to the general population (Source: https://www.wahlrecht.de/umfragen/ )

    Support for the far right AfD is about 5 percentage points lower than among the general population (12% vs 17%)

    For the conservative CDU/CSU it is 10 pp lower (20% vs 30%)

    For the Social Democrats it is 3 pp lower (12% vs 15%)

    For the liberal FDP it is 4 pp higher (8% vs 4%)

    For the Greens it is about 4 pp higher (18% vs 14%)

    For the Wagenknecht alliance, a weird mix of far right and far left, it is about the same (5%)

    Unfortunately this article doesn’t mention the socialist left, which for the general population sits at around 3%

    So, to conclude (and from my own experience) youths in Germany don’t deviate that much from the general population in terms of their political views. They tend to be less conservative and xenophobic. Most of them are somewhere in the center, having slightly more liberal tendencies than the general population.



  • The title says “There’s more people who wake up at the same second than people who fall asleep at the same second”. One could (and most people seem to) interpret this as “the maximum amount of people waking up at any given second is higher than the maximum amount of people falling asleep at any given second”, which is a statement I agree with. I interpreted it as “The amount of people waking up at any given time is higher than the amount of people falling asleep at the same time”, which is of course false.

    It seems we just weren’t talking about the same thing. You were talking about the maximum values of both distributions, for which the statement is true, while I only considered the distributions’ median and mean values, for which the statement isn’t true.

    I disagree that the post makes clear OP is referring to the max values, but I guess that’s because english is not my first language, and my statistics background likely made me over analyze the statement.


  • Of course there are moments where more people awake at the same time than fall asleep at the same time. In the second 07:00:00 , yeah, more people awake than fall asleep. The same isn’t true for 22:13:35. And if you look at all seconds of the day you will find that on average, each second the amount of people that fall asleep is roughly equal to the amount of people waking up.

    What you are talking about is variance. There is a higher variance in the times of people falling asleep than there is in the times of people waking up. That does not mean that “more people wake up at the same time than fall asleep”. There are times of the day when significantly more people wake up than fall asleep, but as a counterweight, on prettey much all other times, the amount of people falling asleep is slightly higher than the amount of people waking up.

    So actually, it’s the reverse. Given that most people wake up to alarm clocks, if you pick a random time of the day, it is likely that in that second more people fall asleep than wake up

    The AfD is currently getting 35% in surveys in saxony, meaning the majority of people does not support the AfD.

    I’d even argue that right wing parties are way bigger in Poland (PiS and Konfederacja) than they are in Saxony or Dresden. So if Dresden is too right-leaning for you, the same should probably be true for Poland.
