    Has anyone read the full report because this paragraph is the article’s summary of what’s being impacted and it doesnt sound that bad

    “The 240-page-long “2026 Fundamental Rights Report,” presented in Karlsruheon Thursday, says fundamental rights are threatened, for example, when efforts to combat climate change wane, when affordable housing becomes scarce and when technical standards on social media violate informal self-determination. But the greatest danger comes when security concerns dominate domestic policy, and lead to a military buildup.”

    So the greatest threat created from a military build up is that a military build up occurs

    Yeah that’s kinda the point.

    Noting also the climate change initiatives are overseas aid ones, they’re not actually impacting German basic rights
