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)

The 39 deputies who have entered the Magdeburg state parliament for the party are the who’s who of right-wing extremists, crazy esoterics, criminal failures, and intellectual low-fliers. Wüst fiercely: “The 39 deputies who have entered the Magdeburg state parliament for the party are the who’s who of right-wing extremists, crazy esoterics, criminal failures, and intellectual low-fliers.” #JungeUnion #JohannesWinkel #ManuelaSchwesig (translated)

Torsten Heinrich wrote that he has never rented from a corporation, but from private individuals who had invested in real estate alongside their jobs. He knows at least seven people who over decades built up to 150 apartments through saving and loans. Two of them constructed and rented out multi-family houses with loans; several started from scratch, including one person from a refugee family. Heinrich argued that private real estate investments also need to be measured against other investment options. Real estate has already performed poorly compared to government bonds or index funds; the main argument for them is the possibility of value appreciation, which is tax-free after ten years. However, this is countered by high renovation costs, as well as work and hassle with tenants. In contrast, paper investments require hardly any effort and, according to him, do not entail additional payments, such as for new insulation or heating regulations. According to Heinrich, the abolition of tax exemption after the holding period is another reason not to invest in real estate. Anyone assuming that the taxation of private real estate sales has no impact on construction activity is effectively making an intellectual capitulation statement. #Immobilien #Investment #Vermietung (translated)

Ledarsidorna.se criticized Aftonbladet's editorial staff and Kalle Sundin, stating that Sundin's article did not understand the Center Party's and Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist's opposition to ministers Jonas Sjöstedt, Nooshi Dadgostar, and Ida Gabrielsson. Ledarsidorna.se claimed that antisemitism was widespread and structural within the Left Party, at a different level than within the Sweden Democrats, and that connections to terrorist organizations existed among local representatives and at all levels, including the parliamentary group. The writer also questioned the party's membership recruitment and referred to the Left Party in Borlänge and a comparison with Cassius Clay as an example of how easily the party could be infiltrated. Ledarsidorna.se wrote that the Left Party's promise to leave NATO came at the same time that Russia threatened to treat the Baltic neighboring countries like Ukraine. The writer described Sundin as a product of the Bommersvik Academy and the Bommersvik left and claimed that he had been schooled and recruited by Anders Lindberg. The writer stated that Sundin was either very ignorant or an accomplice to Kremlin and terrorism, and urged him to clarify which. https://t.co/KfZSFwhgu4 #politik #antisemitism #vänsterpartiet (translated)

Mr. Husis wrote that foreigners could become part of the Swedish community, but that, according to him, this primarily applied to a small minority of immigrants with high human capital, often from nearby countries. He argued that it required a lot from the individual and that politics should not be shaped based on exceptions. According to him, the vast majority of those who came to Sweden, especially from countries outside Europe, would neither be able to nor want to become part of the country. He also wrote that Sweden could have avoided the drastic measures now needed if it had listened to those who warned about this twenty years ago. #Sverige #Integration #Invandring (translated)

Steffan Nethe criticized the proposal of the CDU parliamentary leadership in Saxony-Anhalt to leave the room together before the secret election of the Minister President. He wrote that the leadership wanted to prevent members from their own ranks from voting for the candidate of the strongest party. Nethe described the proposal as a sign of panic and accused the members of avoiding a parliamentary vote. In his view, this behavior contradicts democracy and the free mandate according to the Basic Law. He also stated that it further undermines trust in the CDU and is a "bankruptcy declaration for the rule of law." At the same time, he pointed out that the AfD is becoming stronger, in his estimation, with each election. #SachsenAnhalt #Demokratie #CDU (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn wrote that Mrs. Seidlitz did not want to face his critical questions about Hermann Göring. He suspected that the confrontation would have been embarrassing for her, and compared this to his assessment that they considered themselves intellectually superior to him. https://t.co/z8GuKNHZnj #Humor #Gespräch #Kritik (translated)

Gr@ntlɘr wrote that three women came together to 27 percent and thereby essentially declared almost half of the electorate to be intellectually inferior, while pretending to want to save democracy. In his opinion, democracy had already responded to the left-wing women and apparently did not want to subordinate itself to them. https://t.co/uXOuaTI38D #Demokratie #Frauen #Politik (translated)

Marcus Adriano Birro remembers how in 1997, after being selected for a six-month project at Swedish Radio P3, he traveled to Stockholm for radio training together with 24 other young people. On the train, he met Sladjan Osmanagic. Birro recounted that they started talking after Sladjan heard music from The Jesus and Mary Chain that Birro was playing. They became close friends during the training in Stockholm and Gysinge, Birro wrote, and then continued to work together at Swedish Radio in Gothenburg. Sladjan initially worked on Musikjournalen and later became nationally known through Rally in P3. Birro also remembered their long conversations about football and Sladjan's love for Italian football. Birro wrote that Sladjan later invited him to Svenska Fans and supported his way into sports journalism. After the news of Sladjan's death, Birro described him as both uncompromising and warm, expressing sorrow over losing a friend. He also sent love and care to Sladjan's loved ones and wrote that he would raise a glass to his memory. #vänskap #SverigesRadio #fotboll (translated)

Felix Perrefort wrote that plagiarism problems among politicians arise because they write dissertations mainly to enhance their resumes and often lack a serious research interest. Such works are often difficult to read and are rarely read outside of assessments; instead of demonstrating their own intellectual achievements, they convey an appearance of scholarly merit. According to Perrefort, only those who truly want to discover something new should write a dissertation. Only people who want to fully dedicate themselves to science should strive for a doctorate. He described it as indecent to present others with 200 to 400-page texts that are merely obligatory exercises and therefore insignificant. Perrefort questioned which politicians felt the need to profile themselves with a doctoral thesis. He described them as career politicians without a "solid foundation of an acquired profession" and wrote that they neither mastered politics nor science. Mario Voigt embodies this problem particularly strongly, Perrefort claimed, accusing him of being unable to say anything about Auschwitz without AI and of lacking independent thoughts. #Plagiat #Doktortitel #Wissenschaft (translated)

The author wrote that the fundamental future questions of civilization are being discussed in America, while a European contribution is still pending. The political right is called to make this contribution, but must overcome its intellectual limitations and dead ends to do so. #Zukunft #Europa #Politik (translated)

Frédéric Schwilden wrote that El Hotzo has now arrived where he belongs. He pointed out that he has co-signed a public letter of solidarity for the Left Party and Ferat Kocak together with Shurjoka, Quattromilf, and other individuals. Schwilden referred to the signatories as "great intellectuals" and wrote that he likes everything about it. https://t.co/j5v0CqpiJJ #Solidarität #Linkspartei #Intellektuelle (translated)

The author wrote that he had walked through Cambodia and had seen a mural that deeply impressed him. He claimed that communists had committed genocide against their own people and had driven all the inhabitants out of the capital within a few days. Those who could read and write were considered suspicious; he also mentioned teachers and intellectuals. https://t.co/T4jEKNGsPD #Kambodscha #Genozid #Geschichte #KH (translated)

Baha wrote that he increasingly feels like he wants to stop posting on X. Until the election last year, he was proud of the Union and Friedrich Merz; he believed he had overcome the shame from 2021. The Union had known what to do but had not negotiated with the necessary toughness. In this respect, Olaf Scholz was right: the party had been afraid of its own courage. He did not expect the coalition with the SPD and the quick break with previous positions. Initially, he still sought justifications out of loyalty. Meanwhile, he sees chaos, irrationality, and fear in Berlin. Warnings about the SPD as a danger to the Union and about red-red-green ambitions had previously been dismissed; now, RRG is forming, he wrote. A minority government would require a sophisticated strategy, the implementation of which he cannot recognize in the party. In his view, the common sense with which the Union has come back has been lost not because of the voters, but due to a lack of political leadership. He feels hardly bound to the party anymore and can imagine that another decision he considers wrong at the federal level would trigger his exit. Regarding Thuringia, he expressed his disbelief by shaking his head. He also recognizes no learning curve in politics and journalism. #Politik #Union #Wahlen (translated)
