"The problem is that people of Palestinian or Arab descent feel that they cannot express their concerns and criticisms."

No, the problem is that many seem to be completely unable to get rid of the people supporting their criticism while openly calling for the killing of all jews.

There were peaceful protests in Germany. Nobody had a problem with those. But the majority was instead infested with radicals that should have no place in a civilized society.

There is also a lot of criticism of Israel's government. And funnily enough we can read all these statements in international as well as German media... while they are being actively censored. Sure.

If I publically talk about a topic and half the audience cheering are nazis I will stop, reevaluate my message and clearly distance myself from them. When you 'protest peacefully' to critisize Israel's government however it's okay when a big share of attendees carry symbols of terrorist organisations. And if those protests are then banned it's "censoring of Palestinian human rights".

Don't get me wrong here... I am the first one telling you that the current government in Israel is a big part of the problem (for the very same reason: not distancing themselves from the radical morons - no, it isn't enough to speak out against statements of some government official later, those people can't have a place there at all).

And the official German government statements were clearly lacking balance. But they were widely and loudly criticised publically for it by many. And many called their initial reaction a massive overreaction. (Again... that was public and not censored...)

Yet many of those who camplain about banned protests and censoring however have actually another problem entirely: That they often can't (or don't want to) distance themselves from that strange other half of "Israel criticsm" that is in fact criticising their right to exist.

Fix your own side of the bed first, then you can start complaining.

Essentially Germans showing that they are lost and all the media brain-washing has driven them so insane, all they want is to live in a fantasy world of the last century and rot away there.

People advocating for cutting down investments after 16 years of no investments and infrastructure literally breaking down around them (plus things where they are already at least a decade behind the modern world) get votes.

People advocating that mass deportation of illegal immigrants will solve everything (in reality there are basically no illegal immigrants and the total amount that can be legally deported is less than 20k in a country of 84 million) get votes.

People advocating for cutting back imaginary "gifts" for low-income citizens when that raise in social support is actually mandated just as an inflationary adjustment and courts have ruled again and again that reduction far beyond a subsistence minimum is unconstitutional get votes.

People advocating for less climate protection to kill the planet more efficiently (also unconstitutional btw...) get votes.

The government that by any objective metric has already realized more of their promises in 2 years than their predecessors managed in 8 while seeing one global crisis after another and an opposition that has degenerated to pure obstructionism is somehow "the worst government Germany ever had and really should just give up and make space for re-elections".

Ich bügele, was gebügelt werden muss... also im Endeffekt quasi nie.

Also ich würde eher sagen, "Die Jungen Leute haben die Kleidung, die gebügelt werden muss, großteils abgeschafft", natürlich nur mit Einschränkungen für Leute, die z.B. beruflich erwartete Kleidung tragen (Hemden wollen schon gebügelt werden).

Nein, die deutschen Medien haben Lack gesoffen und belügen uns deshalb mal wieder:

Die Begründung nach Art 83 Abs 1 AEUV lautet in Wirklichkeit:

"Das Europäische Parlament und der Rat können gemäß dem ordentlichen Gesetzgebungsverfahren durch Richtlinien Mindestvorschriften zur Festlegung von Straftaten und Strafen in Bereichen besonders schwerer Kriminalität festlegen, die aufgrund der Art oder der Auswirkungen der Straftaten oder aufgrund einer besonderen Notwendigkeit, sie auf einer gemeinsamen Grundlage zu bekämpfen, eine grenzüberschreitende Dimension haben."

In wie fern hat Vergewaltigung grenzüberschreitende Dimensionen und erfordert gemeinsame Strafverfolgung? Der Punkt ist höchstens relevant für Waffen- oder Menschenhandel...

The world is listening. But the world is not allowed to say anything because the moment they criticise Israel's government they are obviously evil anti-semites that should be shot on the spot.

Right now every single article criticising Israel's government is drowned out by two dozen articles about all those despicable anti-semites everywhere excusing Hamas terrorism. Doesn't matter that it's a lie, that noone actually excused those terrorist acts. It's just a rediculous over the top strawman.

But this ist our new post-factual reality. Those who scream their lie the loudest are right.

"Im vergangenen Jahr wurden in Deutschland mehr als 4.000 Weidetiere durch Wolfsangriffe verletzt oder getötet."

Ach, wäre es nicht toll, wenn es Menschen gäbe, die solche Zahlen für uns einordnen (allein 2 Millionen Schafe in Deutschland; hundertausende, die jedes Jahr durch Unfälle oder natürliche Krankheiten Schaden erleiden; wie viel Entschädigung wird pro Tiere bereits gezahlt? Gibt es vielleicht preiswerte und sinnvolle Maßnahmen diese Schäden zu verringern?)? Man könnte diese Menschen sogar dafür bezahlen, Berichte mit solchen Informationen und Kontext in leicht verständlicher Form zu schreiben und uns zu Verfügung zu stellen. Man könnte praktische einen ganzen Beruf daraus machen. Ich würde diesen imaginären Beruf gerne "Journalisten" nennen aber das ist nur mein erster spontaner Einfall und vielleicht fällt anderen ja was treffenderes ein...

Es ist eigentlich noch schlimmer. Nicht nur haben wir andere Probleme, die ununterbrochen beschworene Flut an Flüchtlingen, die nicht mehr kontrollierbar ist, ist keins davon.

Das hier ist die Realität. Das da ganz rechts in der Graphik ist die derzeitige 'Flüchtlingswelle' in Europa.

Hitler obviously wasn't a dictator as he was democratically elected by a majority (after competing parties were banned) and then -just out of situational necessity of course- got a lot of extra powers to ignore laws and constitution.

Yeah, I see how that Chinese definition works.

Yes, what you are missing is reality.

You can either build renewables to replace fossil fuels in the next years (and if the build-up doesn't work as fast as you want to then it will takes a a few years more to reach zero), getting less and less every day. Or you can build new nuclear reactors and just keep burning coal full steam for 5 years, 10, 15, probably 20. And then you reactors are finally online, but electricity demand has increased by +100% (and further increasing...) so you burn more coal for another 5, 10, 15, or 20 years...

The exact same thing happens btw right now in basically every single European country that promotes nuclear. Because nobody is building enough capacities to actually cover the minimal required base load in 2-3 decades (electricity demand until 2050 will raise by a factor of 2,5 at least - because most countries today only cover 20-25% of their primary energy demand with electricity but will need to raise that to close to 100% to decarbonize other sectors; so we are talking about about a factor of 4-5, minus savings because electricity can be more efficient). They just build some and pretend to do something construtive, while in reality this is for show and they have basically given up on finding a solution that isn't let's hope the bigger countries in Europe save us.

For reference: France -so the country with optimal conditions given their laws and regulations favoring nuclear power and having a domestic production of nuclear reactors- announced 6 new reactors with an option for up to 8 additional ones and that they would also build up some renewables as a short-term solution to bridge the time until those reactors are ready. That's a lie. They need the full set of 14 just for covering their base load for their projected electricity demand in 2050 and that's just ~35% of ther production with the remaining 65% being massive amounts of renewables (see RTE -France' grid provider- study in 2021). Is this doable? Sure. It will be hard work and cost a lot of money but might be viable... But already today the country with good pre-conditions and in-house production of nuclear reactors and with a population highly supportive of nuclear can't tell it's own people the truth about the actually needed investments into nuclear (and renewables!), because it's just that expensive. (Another fun fact: The only reason why their models of nuclear power vs. full renewables are economically viable is because they also planned to integrate huge amounts of hydrogen production for industry, time-independent export (all other countries will have lower production and higher demand at the same time by then) and as storage. So the exact same thing the usual nuclear cult here categorically declares as unviable when it's about renewables.)

Ich mag besonders die Sachen in Punkt 2 und 10: CO2-Abgabe abschaffen, Pendler-Pauschale erhöhen und die Erforschung moderner Verbrenner- und Kraftstofftechnologien fördern.

Ich bin mal gespannt wie viele Stunde es dauert, bis die FDP durch den nächsten Ruck Richtung Wahnsinn darauf reagiert, dass die AFD gerade versucht, sie im Verbrennungsmotoranbeten und Klimazerstören noch zu überbieten.

Was für ein gequirlter Bullshit.

Nein, er sorgt nicht für Entsetzen. Er sorgt bei seiner Wählerschaft mit Hirnschaden für Zustimmung und für die Erkenntnis, dass man so etwas jetzt offen in Deutschland sagen kann.

#Medienversagen

Hast du schonmal versucht deine Argumente mehrfach zu verdünnen und durch Aufschlagen (bevorzugt an der Stirn solcher Schwurbler) gut durchzuschütteln?
