More Taxes and Problems for You – Olaf Wants to Stay Chancellor


Maybe you’ve already seen them: election ads! Yeah! But what exactly are they trying to tell us with what’s written there?

We live in pretty exciting times, with crises and problems burning at every corner. Oh wait, wrong wording! There are no more problems, only challenges. So, if someone ever stands in front of you with a knife – don’t panic, that’s not a problem, it’s just a challenge. And as the saying goes: Face the challenge! But I digress…

The federal election is coming up and the first campaign posters are popping up everywhere. One of them is special – let’s put it that way. But what is it actually trying to tell us?

“MORE FOR YOU” it says in big letters. “MORE,” okay, sounds good! But more what? More taxes? More problems (challenges)? Somehow the precision is missing, right? Usually, every little detail is carefully and meticulously phrased, but here? Here comes a message that’s vaguer than a soggy bread roll. Or is that intentional? Is it left deliberately open so they can later claim that whatever the naive citizen read into those four words wasn’t meant that way? Clever, huh?

And then: “FOR YOU.” So, for me too. But I wonder: do I really want more taxes? More challenges? Nope, definitely not. And why am I being addressed informally? Since when does Olaf Scholz call me “du”? Does that mean we can now call Olaf by his first name too? “Hey Olaf, old buddy, how’s it going? Come over sometime, let’s chat at the kitchen table!” Oh wait, that was the other candidate, who apparently has long since stopped trying to be “close to the people.”

“BETTER FOR GERMANY” is also written over Olaf’s forehead, while he was photoshopped in front of a German flag. Hmm… Is he trying to come across as patriotic now? Is he suddenly fishing on the right-wing? When someone says “Everything for Germany!” that’s widely considered far-right and punishable. And just the word “Germany” alone sparks heated debates for some. But then this huge German flag in the background? Was that approved by the queer officers? Why not a rainbow flag? Or at least some rainbow colors? Does Olaf think he can appeal to those leaning more right with this look? Like, “Oh, now I can put my cross by Olaf again!”? I don’t know… It kind of feels like a shift to the right, doesn’t it?

And down on the right it says: “Federal Chancellor.” Not gendered. Why, Olaf, have you thrown the previous course overboard? Wasn’t the old course good? And if so, why are you just realizing it now?

So, I don’t know about others, but Olaf doesn’t convince me with this. There are too many open questions that simply aren’t answered by these six words.
