Björn Harms announced that his new book "The Asylum Complex" would be available in stores the following day; he already had some freshly printed copies in hand. He wrote that the book includes, among other things, a detailed overall calculation of the asylum costs of past years and an overview of the number of asylum accommodations in Germany. According to him, the federal government does not know this number. According to Harms, the book also addresses real estate companies and hoteliers who earn millions by renting to the state, as well as home operators, welfare associations, lawyer networks, and state companies that benefit from the growing market or mass immigration. He announced interviews with insiders from the social industry and the real estate market, as well as insights into asylum NGOs, refugee councils, and million-euro funding programs from the EU and the federal government. Additionally, the book aims to address legal questions related to the topic of asylum. Harms requested feedback on the book. #Asylkomplex #Buchneuerscheinung #Asylpolitik (translated)

A former woke teacher wrote that MP Nicole Moinat described, according to them, an established order that had lost its moral compass. The teacher stated that criminal organizations were recruiting very young people for explosions, drug trafficking, and assassinations because, according to them, juvenile offenders were hardly punished. In The Hague, according to the teacher, young criminals were primarily seen as victims of their circumstances. The teacher criticized explanations of crime based on disadvantage, personal problems, and a difficult childhood, because those explanations, according to them, obscured the responsibility of the offenders. The teacher also stated that the compassion for offenders was greater than the concern for victims. Young people deserved a second chance, according to them, but it should not outweigh the safety of society. The teacher wrote that the government, out of fear of appearing inhumane, no longer dared to set limits and that the consequences of this were borne by people who obeyed the law. #rechtstaat #criminaliteit #veiligheid (translated)

Laserbrille wrote that the CDU under Merz is pursuing the course of the FDP: it is cutting back on the weakest, relieving the richest, doing little climate policy, and using right-wing rhetoric. The FDP was voted out for this; the CDU faces a similar end, which would be deserved, said Laserbrille. #CDU #FDP #Politik (translated)

Mirjam152 challenged the reasoning that a lower VAT rate cost the government a lot of money. She compared it to the income a landlord misses out on by asking for a lower rent and sarcastically suggested that the VAT should then be raised to 30 percent and inheritance and gift taxes to 100 percent. According to her, people were already paying more than enough tax. The researchers defended a higher VAT rate for, among others, hairdressers, bicycle mechanics, and plasterers with the argument that a tight labor market could make services more expensive due to insufficient staff availability. Mirjam152 called that reasoning flawed and accused the researchers of having a political agenda and pandering to the government and the cabinet. #BTW #Belastingen #Overheid (translated)

The Hayek Club Weimar described socialism as a beneficial business model for politicians. State benefits and subsidies created dependency and thus secured voter support, the account wrote. Politicians would thereby become suppliers and citizens clients. In contrast, capitalism posed a threat to the political class, argued the Hayek Club Weimar, because it rewarded personal responsibility, innovation, and private initiative, making people more independent of the state. Regulations intended to tame the market served, according to the account, to limit competition and protect established interests. The account also accused politicians of portraying capitalism as unjust and antisocial while presenting the state as a moral authority. The state did not want free individuals but dependent subjects, wrote the Hayek Club Weimar, linking its criticism to calls for freedom and property as well as a rejection of taxes and state coercion. #FreiheitstattKnechtschaft #SteuernsindRaub #Eigentum #Freiheit #ParasitenwegmitEuremZwang #Freiheit #Kapitalismus #Sozialismus (translated)
