@FraukePetry Ad Personam-Debatten machen einem auch und gerade im Wahlkampf nicht beliebter... im Gegenteil, sie lassen tief blicken. Schade!

@torte81 Was ist eigentlich mit Ihrem Urgroßvater? War der '33 auch schon so outspoken wie Sie bzgl. "Israel"?

Timmy, der Film. Mit Hannes Jaenicke in der Hauptrolle und einem Song von Johannes Oerding. Gefördert von der Filmstiftung NRW. Es ist unvermeidbar.

By far the hardest thing for liberal Europeans to accept is the rise of a non-eurocentric world. Europeans can deal with the far-right, or Donald Trump's rants. But they cannot deal with being ignored. For over 3000 years, Europe was at the centre of the political, cultural and economic universe. It still thinks it is.

I spent time in Shenzhen last year and when I saw Merz come back from China saying Germans need to work more I immediately knew what broke his brain because I lived the exact same cognitive shock

my first week in Huaqiangbei I burned through 4 prototype iterations of a motor controller board for less than a thousand bucks total, back home a friend was working on something similar and spent over 12 thousand for a single revision that took almost two months to arrive

when you live that contrast in your own hands with your own project something permanently shifts in how you see the world and it goes way deeper than speed & cost

what Shenzhen actually built is a collective learning organism, imagine 20 PCB fabs 15 injection mold shops 30 component distributors and a hundred firmware freelancers all within a 2km radius, looks insanely redundant from the outside until you realize redundancy is actually information density in disguise

I watched this firsthand with an injection mold supplier I was working with, this guy had seen a hundred founders iterate similar thermal designs over 6 months so he proactively modified his tooling before I even opened my mouth, he knew what I needed before I knew what I needed, the intelligence lives in the relationships between the nodes and it compounds daily

the west thinks about manufacturing as a cost center you optimize by centralizing…

China accidentally built a distributed neural network of manufacturing intelligence where knowledge diffuses horizontally across thousands of agents faster than any single western company can process internally

so when Merz comes back and says we need to work a bit more I think he saw the problem but COMPLETELY misdiagnosed the solution, telling Germans to work harder is like telling a horse to gallop faster when the other side built a combustion engine

the gap is ARCHITECTURAL

it’s ecosystem density, you need a custom connector in Shenzhen you walk 200 meters, in Munich you send an email and wait 3 weeks

it’s iteration speed, parallel search vs sequential optimization at the system level, it’s risk tolerance, Chinese founders ship something broken on Monday fix it Tuesday ship again Wednesday while European companies are still in the approval phase for the pilot program of the feasibility study…

and Merz only saw the surface, what he missed is the tier 2 cities like Hefei Chengdu Wuhan replicating the Shenzhen model at scale right now

BYD going from irrelevant to outselling every european automaker combined in roughly 5 years, Huawei building its own 7nm chip under maximum sanctions when every analyst said it was physically impossible & behind all of that a government that treats advanced manufacturing as an existential national priority while europe debates whether AI needs another ethics committee

I think what we’re watching is the most asymmetric economic competition in modern history and most western leaders are still framing it as a productivity problem when it’s actually an ontological one

Europe & America are optimizing variables that China stopped tracking years ago meanwhile China is compounding on dimensions the west has no framework to even measure
Merz at least had the courage to name

it out loud and I respect that genuinely but working a bit more inside a broken architecture just means you arrive at the wrong destination slightly faster

@xileffff Für mich war Habeck immer ein Krypto-Realo... aber ich glaube, das war ihm selbst nicht so bewusst 😉

History is once again being written, but as usual, Europeans just stand by, comment & squabble—and would likely do so even if Greenland were taken by the US. If one wants to understand what Spengler meant by “opting out of history,” a look at today’s EU & its nations says it all.

Europe’s diplomacy is a complete disaster area right now. Rutte’s “Daddy” strategy with Trump is clearly not working. The NSS leaves no one in doubt that the US is disengaging from European security, and from Ukraine. The war-mongering Kaja Kallas is an embarrassment. The Europeans also did not think through the Russian asset sequestration. They underestimate the risks, and have no idea what it would concrete achieve. These people are completely unprepared for 21st century geopolitics.

Also: junge Gruppe will Kostenanstieg Alterung dämpfen.#Merz bietet Ergänzungsbeschluss mit vager Hoffnung auf Reform.#Bas macht klar,dass mit SPD unmöglich.Junge Gruppe deshalb skeptisch.#Merz macht Deal mit #Linke und kassiert Beschluss.Ergebnis:keine Reform,nur mehr Abgaben.🙈

Die eigene Heimat zu lieben, stolz auf die eigene westliche, christliche Kultur mit ihren Errungenschaften wie Demokratie und Freiheit zu sein, und mit offenem Visier für deren Erhalt und gegen Antisemitismus und Islamismus zu kämpfen, ist heute gefährlicher für die eigene Sicherheit und Reputation, als Juden zu hassen, Polizisten zu verachten, Reiche erschießen, das kapitalistische System stürzen, die Nationalhymne ersetzen oder die Nationalflagge in Frage stellen zu wollen.

"Ich erhöh' euch die Steuern
Gewählt ist gewählt, ihr könnt mich jetzt nicht mehr feuern
Das ist ja das Geile an der Demokratie... Ich greif euch tief in die Tasche Jeder von euch Spackos bunkert irgendwo noch Asche
Und die hol ich mir, die find ich schon, egal wo sie liegt...
Ich zieh euch aus, yeah, ihr Flaschen
Ihr werdet euch noch wundern, denn ich weiß zu überraschen - buh!
Keine Steuer, die es für mich nicht gibt... Hahaha"

Das wir hier lieber über Käse diskutieren, als über den schleichenden Abbau von Eigentum, einen immer stärkeren Staat, die Normalisierung von Überwachung, den digitalen Meinungskorridor, die Monopolisierung von Wahrheit durch Faktenchecker, die Pathologisierung von Dissens, die Kriminalisierung unbequemer Meinungen und die stille Verstaatlichung der Öffentlichkeit.

Sagt eigentlich schon alles – Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie at its finest.

Wer bei einem "Lichtermeer gegen den Rechtsruck" jemanden wie Friedrich Merz in einem Atemzug mit Autokraten nennt, sollte vielleicht einfach aus der eigenen Dunkelkammer steigen.
