The author wrote that democracy thrives on finding majorities for what is right, convincing others, and fighting for it, not on compromise. Compromises may sometimes be possible and necessary; however, whoever declares them as the goal from the outset does not want to lead, but simply wants to have peace. #Demokratie #Politik #Gesellschaft #DE (translated)

Sarah Maria Sander wrote that the third anniversary of October 8 feels particularly overwhelming for her. In the two previous years, she hardly had time to pause: in 2024, she spent the first anniversary in evacuated areas in the north near the border with Lebanon, while sirens wailed and rockets from Hezbollah flew overhead. In 2025, she anxiously worried every hour that a hostage might die. Now, she is overwhelmed by the space to reflect, Sander wrote. Besides the memories of the dead, the survivors, and the violence, she lamented the indifference of people on the street. She also criticized a reporting style that, in her view, did not even grant the victims the dignity they deserved for a single day, using their suffering for political agendas and moral elevation. Sander wrote that she has not found peace for three years. She thinks of the people who were killed on the Nova grounds, of children whose childhoods came to an abrupt end, of screams, and of families who perished in the fire. She also recalled the fear in the eyes of Shiri Bibas as she held her children tightly. Despite the pain, one must continue to live and find an answer anew every day as to how that is possible. #Erinnerung #Trauer #Leben (translated)

Hasnain Kazim remembered the third anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. At that time, he arrived by bicycle in Heidelberg and heard discussions about the attack in the marketplace. The terror had strengthened his resolve to stand against extremism. He described the attack as the largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. Kazim wrote that religiously justified restrictions and violence had occupied him since childhood. He had experienced, among other things, the outrage over a joke by Rudi Carrell about Khomeini, the persecution of Salman Rushdie, and the deaths of more than a dozen acquaintances, friends, and colleagues at the hands of Islamist extremists. He had also found statements that praised Hitler or Osama bin Laden to be profoundly unbearable. Since October 7, 2023, he has observed that Hamas terrorists are celebrated in Germany as well. In Berlin-Neukölln, people distributed candies after the massacre. Kazim also criticized the fact that some young people appeared with keffiyehs and pro-Palestinian slogans without understanding their political and historical significance. He wrote that Hamas fighters and bin Laden are portrayed on TikTok as representatives of the oppressed or as opponents of capitalism. At the same time, Kazim warned of extremists demanding mass "remigration" and threatening people who appeared foreign or Muslim to them. He accused the political center of not rejecting Islamism and the glorification of terror decisively enough and of ceding the political space to others. He did not want to live in a society where extremists set the tone, nor in one where Sharia law prevailed and religious authorities dictated people's lives. Kazim also referred to the vulnerability of people who could be identified as Jewish, as well as the need for protection for restaurants, kindergartens, schools, places of worship, and diplomatic missions. This was neither resistance nor criticism of the Israeli government, he wrote. In conclusion, he commemorated the victims of October 7, wished healing and peace for the injured, and called for the defeat of the terrorists. #Terrorismus #Extremismus #Frieden (translated)

Simon Betschinger referred to a BILD headline which stated that the government requires 1,000 officials for two new taxes. He estimated the annual costs of the civil service for taxpayers in Germany to be around 242 to 250 billion euros. According to him, over 117 to 130 billion euros are spent annually on salaries, wages, and allowances, as well as around 65.9 to 67 billion euros on retirement benefits. Betschinger described the state as a bureaucratic monster that constantly requires more resources and stated that the extent has long since become unreasonable. #Bürokratie #Steuern #Deutschland (translated)

Thomas Jäger wrote that a majority in Germany sees Russia as a threat to its own security. He called it the task of local Putin supporters to change this assessment. As examples of Kremlin propaganda, he cited the claims that Russia only wants Ukraine and not Germany, and that Russia will win anyway; therefore, one should not anger Putin to have peace. #Russland #Sicherheit #Propaganda (translated)

The author compared the political situation in Germany in 2026 to a scenario from the private sector: An employee misses an important business appointment due to his sick child, is simultaneously photographed by a colleague at the airport in Sardinia, and reported to the HR department. After a public outcry, he states that he will pause certain duties for the time being but will continue to receive his full salary. The author wrote that such treatment would be absurd in the private sector, but normal in German politics in 2026. #Wirtschaft #Gesellschaft #Politik (translated)

Rumors about the health of China's leader Xi Jinping are increasing, as unusual behavior and specific rest periods were noticed during his visit to Washington and at the BRICS summit in India, while concrete illnesses have not yet been confirmed. #XiJinping #Gesundheit #China (translated)

The author wrote that subversion had been portrayed as tolerance. Those who had warned against it or counted cases had been labeled as right-wing or inciting hatred. He accused the German media of portraying knives as everyday weapons, group actions as acts of youth groups, and fatalities as marginal notes. Moreover, he referred to Angela Merkel in retirement and included a link. https://t.co/KBuAZVAurf #Toleranz #Medienkritik #Deutschland #DE (translated)

Fortunately, there's the KBA! 🙏 Tesla FSD (Supervised) has now driven over 24,000,000,000 kilometers. Of which over 9,400,000,000 kilometers in urban areas. But that is of course not enough. The KBA is now working quietly on a German position and testing the system itself. A few rounds through Flensburg will surely bring completely new insights that no one has seen in 24 billion kilometers yet... 8 countries in the EU already allow FSD. We prefer to take a bit more time to check. Thoroughness is also a form of stagnation. And we must show the world that we are the best and most thorough in our testing... #FSD #Tesla #KBA #FSDSupervised #FSD #Tesla #KBA #FSDSupervised #FSD #Tesla #KBA (translated)
