He pointed out that Berlin wants to socialize and that Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has abolished daycare fees, while parents in Bavaria continue to pay.

The libertarians accused the state of searching citizens early in the morning, confiscating more than 50 percent of their income monthly, and sending children to war. Furthermore, it devalued money, forced people to finance propaganda, and continued to charge rent for land that already belonged to them. The group also criticized that the state indebted children before they earned their own money, rescued banks with taxpayer money, and then held citizens responsible for living beyond their means. It prohibited business openings but continued to impose levies, taxed inheritances again, and monitored millions of innocents. At the same time, it increased its own pay, demanded savings from citizens, and required applications, fees, and long waiting times for building their own houses. According to the libertarians, it portrayed its own failures as justification for more money and power. #Staat #Freiheit #Geldsystem (translated)

Christiane Richter wrote that, as a mother of a child who has experienced violence, she was angry about a video from Frankfurt/Oder. In it, a group beat up a boy while bystanders filmed. She hopes that all perpetrators will be held accountable and that the role of the spectators will also be examined. Richter reported that after an attack on her daughter, the threats continued. She also filed charges against all bystanders who did not intervene. The perpetrator and her friends later attacked other children as well. When Richter asked their parents to report the incidents, they repeatedly told her to stay out of it. She urged affected parents to report incidents, secure evidence, seek support, and consider civil action. Parents should not be deterred from demanding consequences when their children are beaten, Richter wrote. #Elternschaft #Gewaltprävention #Kinderschutz (translated)
