Julian Adrat referred to dm CEO Christoph Werner as a smart head and accused Caren Miosga of interrupting Werner when he praised Gerhard Schröder's reforms. He wrote that she wanted to discredit Schröder as a friend of Putin and prevent a discussion about successful reforms. Moreover, Werner did not share the pessimism about an end to the traffic light coalition and pointed out that history continues to evolve. Adrat quoted him as saying it would be "the first time in history" if the end of history were to occur now. The simple truths put public broadcasters in a sweat, wrote Adrat. #Politik #Deutschland #Reformen (translated)

He also wrote that with the death of truth, people would later also die. https://t.co/3chl9DX1aR https://t.co/mdTaqulZ6q #Geschichte #Politik #Buchenwald #DE (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)

GFrei.News criticized the reporting on Habeck and questioned whether journalists from mainstream media had lost their minds. Since a journalist had asked Habeck to make a flirting face, he has been shown in photos with this facial expression and portrayed as a "cool guy," according to GFrei.News. Moreover, he is allowed to comment professionally on current political events. Habeck has failed maximally as Minister of Economics and ruined the German economy, wrote GFrei.News. The government subsequently collapsed and had to give up prematurely. Habeck then fled from Germany because the entire population had hated him, claimed the account. #Politik #Wirtschaft #Medien (translated)

Coldwire: Die Zukunft ist tödlich von Chloe Gong übersetzt von Anja Herre Die neue Dystopie-Sensation der New York Times-Bestsellerautorin Das Leben der Wohlhabenden spielt sich in glitzernden virtuellen Realitäten ab, während die Armen im zerfallenden „Downcountry“ zurückbleiben. Dort jagt eine junge Soldatin durch die Ruinen, um ihren Namen vom Verrat reinzuwaschen – und muss sich dafür ausgerechnet mit dem Mann verbünden, der wirklich schuldig ist. Um Klimakatastrophen und Epidemien zu entkommen, lebt die Menschheit größtenteils in der virtuellen Welt „Upcountry“, während die Zurückgelassenen in „Downcountry“ ums Überleben kämpfen. Doch auch Upcountry ist nicht sicher: Ein Kalter Krieg tobt zwischen den Nationen Medaluo und Atahua. Eirale, als Soldatin für NileCorp in Downcountry stationiert, wird des Mordes an einem Regierungsbeamten beschuldigt. Ihre einzige Chance: mit Atahuas meistgesuchtem Anarchisten kooperieren, um ein streng geheimes KI-Programm der Regierung in Medaluo zu finden. Währenddessen beendet Lia ihr letztes Jahr an der Militärakademie. Für ihre Abschlussprüfung soll sie Medaluo infiltrieren und einen Verräter aufspüren. Obwohl Eirale und Lia auf unterschiedlichen Realitätsebenen durch Medaluo jagen, beginnen beide zu ahnen, dass sie Teile eines größeren Puzzles sind – und je näher sie der Wahrheit kommen, desto näher rücken ihre Welten an eine zerstörerische Kollision.

The author accused the counterpart of twisting the truth. He wrote that no one who did not already want to buy a BMW would now additionally acquire a car of that brand. At the same time, in his estimation, thousands of outraged AfD voters would avoid BMW in the future because they were tired of being insulted by a dogmatic car manufacturer. #BMW #AfD #Politik (translated)

The truth is: Since my return to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mother my two small children deserve if I constantly spend the time, energy, and attention that the role of White House Press Secretary requires. Leavitt also cited the dual burden of being a mother of two small children and White House Press Secretary as justification. #KatieZacharia #Trump #WeißesHaus (translated)

Oliver Gorus wrote that Stelter is correct in his analysis; he listens to his podcast regularly. The problem, however, is not a lack of knowledge: politicians are aware of the situation but follow systemic incentives that, in his view, favor more redistribution, social welfare, debt, taxes, and contributions, as well as a higher state quota. This secures their positions and pensions. Gorus considered a course change unrealistic. According to his portrayal, political actors benefited from the decline and did not care about decreasing prosperity. He compared them to residents of the Wandlitz forest settlement negotiating their next role among themselves. He asked how long the substance of the private sector would last and whether the euro, the EU, or the Federal Republic would collapse first. Genuine reform within the existing structures seems unlikely to him. The next government would probably be Green-Red-Red, Gorus wrote, because retirees and other recipients of transfers formed the largest voter block; after that, things would really get going in the "ghost train." #Politik #Gesellschaft #Wirtschaft (translated)

Manuel Ostermann wrote that he had received death threats and had been confronted with defamatory articles, insinuations, and personal attacks. This does not leave him unaffected, he explained; public figures also have feelings and a personal environment. Ostermann warned that intimidation must not become a political or social means, as threats could otherwise impair freedom of expression and thus freedom itself. Messages and conversations from supporters, according to him, encouraged him to continue. He wrote that he would continue to advocate for his beliefs and not compromise his values. #Freiheit #Zivilcourage #Meinungsfreiheit (translated)

Emrah Erken wrote that the SPD had expelled Thilo Sarrazin due to his book "Hostile Takeover," whose statements and demands, according to his representation, were assessed as incompatible with the principles of the party. He contrasted Gerhard Schröder's closeness to Vladimir Putin and the SPD's cooperation with the SED. Both seemed compatible with the fundamental values of social democracy, Erken wrote; according to his claim, the SED had been linked to terrorist organizations and organized crime. #SPD #Politik #Sozialdemokratie (translated)

The AfD faction in the German Bundestag announced that Kay Gottschalk criticized the draft tax reform law for 2027 presented by the coalition as a hidden tax increase. He accused the government of continuing the cold progression and putting a burden on the working middle class. According to the faction, Lars Klingbeil referred to Gottschalk as the “Houdini of finance” and accused the coalition of deliberately misleading 45 million taxpayers. #Steuerreform #Finanzen #Politik (translated)
