Mario Lochner wrote that he finds the idea that the state should set all prices to be alarmingly widespread and described it as economic madness and populism.

Steffan Nethe wrote that the historic Town Hall of Limoges, built in 1883, was burning while people cheered and sneered. The building had survived two world wars unscathed; Nethe blamed leftist destructive fury for its destruction and described the incident as a sign of the decline and loss of control of Western civilization. He accused European politics of passively watching the destruction of cultural heritage and the endangerment of public safety. He wrote that anyone who downplays or ignores the events is gradually giving up their homeland and history. #KulturErbe #Zivilisation #Limoges (translated)

Only the cook accused CDU/CSU politician Sepp Müller of constructing a Hitler comparison from Vanessa Emde's statement that people have a right to exist, while invoking German state interests and the slogan "Never again is now." Koch described Emde's statement as legally correct and wrote that Müller had instrumentalized German history with his reaction to publicly defame the politician. This had occurred through the official channel of a taxpayer-funded Bundestag faction. Koch criticized the reaction as a mockery of international law, history, and the intelligence of the population. #Menschenrechte #Völkerrecht #Politik (translated)

A good friend moved to a small wine village in Baden-Württemberg a few years ago, sparbuchfeinde wrote. The man is married, has a child, bought a house, and has a company car parked in front of his door. The stories from the village with 800 inhabitants surprised him: As soon as his friend's caravan is parked on the street, a neighbor calls the regulatory office. After returning from vacation, the authority appeared two hours after the caravan was parked to unpack in front of the house. Furthermore, there are already two stationary speed cameras in the village; the municipal council recently approved two more. At the same time, the winemakers have been complaining for years about too few tourists. However, a well-attended party series by one winemaker was discontinued after citizens and other winemakers complained about noise and parked cars, sparbuchfeinde wrote. #BadenWürttemberg #Weindorf #Nachbarschaft (translated)

If the Left, Greens, and SPD don’t get their act together, there will be massive political trust damage in Berlin. Towards all three parties. And if the SPD helps the CDU to power again, it will be history in Berlin. And politics wonders where disillusionment comes from. (translated)

Blickwinkel referred to El Salvador as an example of what a state could achieve by regaining control. The murder rate in 2015 was 106.3 per 100,000 inhabitants, representing the highest rate worldwide. For 2026, Blickwinkel projected about 0.97 and wrote that the country was on track for a historic low. The decline has been unusually steep compared to other countries. The structures of the gangs MS-13 and Barrio 18 have been systematically dismantled, and more than 90,000 suspects have been arrested, wrote Blickwinkel. In El Salvador, there are now days and weeks without murders; children are playing outside again, and fear no longer dominates everyday life. Security is a political decision made by El Salvador, according to the author's assessment. #ElSalvador #Sicherheit #Gewaltprävention (translated)

Simon Betschinger asked for understanding for people who mocked Elon Musk because of his flying Tesla Roadster. He wrote that there had been skepticism towards new inventions in the past. On July 3, 1886, Carl Benz publicly presented his three-wheeled motor vehicle for the first time in Mannheim. The German Patent and Trademark Office described the reactions to the first drives as disappointing. Despite reports in the local press, the hoped-for response was missing. Many people considered the vehicle to be impractical; the German UNESCO Commission also confirmed that the invention had initially been ridiculed. #Innovation #Geschichte #Technologie (translated)

The account wrote the whole story that the Herero came to Namibia as conquerors, displaced the San, and made the Damara into servants. According to the account, when the Germans arrived, there was no Namibia yet, but instead an area with bloody wars and changing fronts. There, there was neither writing nor roads, and before colonialism, significantly fewer people lived in the desert land than afterwards. In the Battle of Waterberg, the Nama fought together with the Germans against their traditional enemies, the Herero, according to the account. #Namibia #Kolonialismus #Geschichte (translated)
