Terrible also is the justification text by Spiegel editor-in-chief Kurbjuweit. Not only does he portray Eralp as weak and fearful, but he also pretends that the editorial only provides information. Anyone who has read the text knows: Nonsense! There was a massive agitation, suggestion, and polemic involved. (translated)
One thing is to find Merkel's refugee policy wrong. The other is, as Reinhard Müller stated in his front-page commentary in the FAZ, to spread the nonsense that Merkel "invited everyone to come." How bleak is the situation for conservatives if they obviously have to spread untruths? (translated)
Regina Laska criticized statements made by economist Hans-Werner Sinn in a conversation with Ronzheimer. Sinn had blamed the EU CO₂ regulations for the decline of the German automotive industry and said that Chinese and possibly French manufacturers could build better electric cars. Laska countered that Volkswagen is Europe's market leader in electric cars. Sinn also stated that German car executives could not have acted faster and that the Audi CEO must cater to shareholders' interests. In this context, Laska pointed to the elimination of 7,500 jobs in Germany and a factory she estimated at four billion dollars, which was promised by Trump on the campaign stage. She accused Sinn of blaming the industry for the failures of the EU and portraying climate protection as ineffective. Laska criticized that critical inquiries in the conversation did not prevent Sinn from elaborating on his views in detail. She doubted that employees in Aurich and Emden would benefit from his account, asking whether they might be inclined to vote for the AfD because of it. In her estimation, Sinn's narrative would likely remain more memorable than the inquiries, while China is producing electric cars in the millions. As a counterexample, Laska cited Norway: there, 98 percent of newly registered cars are electric, and according to her, the country is doing well. She also noted that there are many German brands on Norwegian roads and that Norwegians are buying them. Laska warned that Germany could one day become the Rust Belt that Sinn had previously described. #EU #Autoindustrie #Klimaschutz (translated)
The author of the article wrote that Zelensky stated Ukraine would not accept neutrality. In his opinion, this means an endless war for the right to NATO membership. He pointed out this nonsensical course from his perspective as early as 2021. https://t.co/FJmy1h7Mit #Ukraine #NATOMitgliedschaft #Krieg #UA (translated)
HC Strien wrote that Kujat may be senile and therefore not culpable. He stated that anyone who knowingly spreads falsehoods is lying. He referred to Johannes Varwick as a liar and accused him of shamelessly deceiving the public in favor of a foreign power and its fascist dictator. #Lüge #Freiheit #Wahrheit (translated)
The author announced that on November 4th, he would propose the complete abolition of certain taxes as an expert in the Finance Committee of the Bundestag. This should be financed, among other things, by the reduction of what he considers nonsensical subsidies. He wrote that the proposals have been seriously calculated. Although he expects that they will have no effect, he wants to show that alternatives exist. #Steuern #Subventionen #Bundestag #DE (translated)
If one takes the completely insane and nonsensical changes to basic security, which only make children homeless and sick people destitute, but bring absolutely nothing, will one now properly retract these changes, or will the citizens continue to be tortured just because one does not want to lose face?

TheRealTom™ wrote that he first used Twitter in 2013 but rediscovered the platform during the night of the failed coup in Turkey in 2016. While TV channels only displayed breaking news according to his memory, he searched for "Turkey" on Twitter and found information, videos, and live streams from several cities that could be verified based on buildings and street names. For him, Twitter or X is both a channel for current information, discussions, and news, but not a portal for editorialized reporting. The platform is immediate and sometimes disturbing; many false or nonsensical posts are also published there, the evaluation of which he left to the collective assessment of the users. At the same time, it enables networking and pluralism, and some of what appears in newspapers the following day originated or spread there. Regarding the political orientation of the platform, he referred to studies suggesting that vulnerable and unstable people tend to be more left-leaning, while self-assured, down-to-earth individuals are more conservative. He believes the perceived political bias can be explained by the right being better at handling the platform; X itself is not right-wing. Leftists, on the other hand, prefer safer spaces like Bluesky, where divergent opinions could lead to exclusion, and consensus is sought. He personally prefers the more conflictual atmosphere on X. #Twitter #Information #Vernetzung (translated)
Artificial intelligence accused the UN of clinging to global warming because climate panic continues to enable high revenues. The author described the figure of 2.8 °C as ideologically influenced and argued that the global average temperature is an estimate derived from measurements that are adjusted for numerous variable factors. She considered an accuracy of one-tenth of a degree to be untenable. She claimed that the reported average temperature had been adjusted downward by more than 1.0 °C in recent decades. As a result, the reported global warming had increased by a full degree. The original justification for the adjustments was that absolute temperatures could not be measured accurately enough. The 2.8 °C was also a difference between two modeled temperatures, she wrote. Because of a lack of measurement data, only rough estimates exist for the reference temperature prior to the industrial revolution: about 70% of the Earth was covered by oceans, for which there had been no reliable measurements around 1800; even in remote regions, measuring stations had been lacking at that time. Finally, artificial intelligence criticized that average temperatures from regions with different humidity levels and air pressure are not physically meaningful. In her opinion, they do not reflect the equilibrium temperature that would result from a complete mixing of the air masses. https://t.co/u1C2DF4gs8 #Klimawandel #Erderwärmung #Wissenschaft (translated)
Thomas Jäger wrote that Donald Trump wants the EU to buy more gas from Russia and the USA again, supposedly to strengthen the US economy. Jäger described this reasoning as nonsensical and claimed that Trump is more concerned about enriching his family clan. He wrote that corruption with Vladimir Putin takes priority; he derogatorily referred to the Americans who went along with it. #Trump #Wirtschaft #Korruption (translated)
Thomas Jäger described the justification for the diesel deal and the suspension of sanctions against Russia as ridiculous. Neither serves the economic nor the national interests of the USA, he wrote, but rather lies in the economic and national interest of Russia. That is the yardstick for Trump's actions. #DieselDeal #USA #Russland (translated)
The author described an unnamed statement as nonsense. He wrote that Israel is a multireligious and multiethnic state where Muslims, Christians, Arabs, and Jews live and, despite their differences, are citizens. He also stated that Hamas and the Israeli government are facing the International Court of Justice for crimes against humanity. #Israel #Völkerrecht #Menschenrechte #IL #PS (translated)
HC Strien wrote that Gerassimow may be worried about being invited for tea. This nonsense, which he described as absurd, can hardly be explained otherwise, unless Gerassimow is acting on orders because his boss is increasingly concerned about standing too close to open windows. #Gerassimow #Politik #Tee (translated)
Hubert Aiwanger wrote that those addressed would deliver, but in his view, they were pursuing too many nonsensical projects. As examples, he cited a sugar tax, the 12 o'clock refueling rule, and a de facto abolition of mini-jobs. #Zuckersteuer #Politik #Minijobs (translated)
ULTRAKÆRL wrote that Karl Lauterbach had expressed his own position on "hart aber fair." Equating the Left Party with the AfD is nonsense. The Left Party has been infiltrated by anti-Semites, particularly in Berlin, and is therefore problematic; however, the AfD does not stand on the ground of the Basic Law. https://t.co/1zF1p0oEud #Politik #Deutschland #Wahlen (translated)
Peter Borbe accused Friedrich Merz and his environment of repeatedly claiming in Germany that critics of the war efforts and hostilities against Russia pursued by the federal government for years are financed by Russia. It is already bad enough that such accusations are spread domestically, wrote Borbe. That the Chancellor is now also expressing them internationally and imputing to the opposition control by foreign powers is unacceptable, he added. https://t.co/19gypmnYP2 #Politik #Demokratie #Freiheit (translated)
Ben Jamin wrote that he had visited the news pages of Spiegel and Zeit daily seven to eight years ago and used their apps with push notifications. In the meantime, he has deleted the apps and usually only accesses the pages via links on X when he feels they have published nonsense again. He asked if others felt similarly. #Nachrichten #Medien #Digitalisierung (translated)
Ulrich Vosgerau said he had talked with PublicoMag about the prerequisites for a possible ban procedure against the AfD. According to his description, a new media campaign presents such a procedure as a non-binding constitutional examination that the Federal Constitutional Court could casually handle if it were pointed out. Vosgerau described this presentation as "nonsense." #AfD #Verfassungsrecht #Politik (translated)
VW announces 100,000 collective agreements - "Unions announce resistance". People, your resistance comes years too late. You should have resisted when VW was destroyed by senseless EU directives and a one-sided political focus on electric cars. https://t.co/NiByINA5WY #VW #Gewerkschaften #Widerstand (translated)
Today is the day! Expert hearing in the Justice Committee of the Thuringian State Parliament regarding the request from the Left for a ban procedure against the AfD is taking place. (So, the State Parliament should somehow urge the state government to work towards a ban procedure – actually, that's nonsense). The applicant has nominated Hape Kerkeling as a "expert," who is said to have no professional training or legal qualifications...🤔🥳 The Thuringian State Parliament will probably stream it, my block from 7 pm...🥱 #Thüringen #Landtag #AfD (translated)
