Klare Worte von Matthias Sammer! 🚨

Der Europameister von 1996 sieht den deutschen Fußball in einer Identitäts- und Mentalitätskrise. Sammer kritisiert, dass traditionelle Stärken wie Wille, Kampfgeist, Konsequenz und Führungsqualität zunehmend verloren gegangen seien.

.@StephenM: "Let's not pretend for a moment that these Radical Leftists — these terrorists — are operating from a place of sincere political conviction...

The leftist is fundamentally motivated by envy, by hatred, by jealousy. The leftist looks at what is beautiful and what is good and what is natural and is filled with envy and hatred.

The leftist looks at a perfect family with the perfect life and a perfect job and perfect kids, that goes to church every Sunday, and is filled with a feeling of inadequacy and jealousy — and they covet and they turn those emotions ultimately into a desire to subjugate, to oppress, and to inflict pain and suffering.

It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations and you see any photograph of those who are assembled — to be blunt, not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They’re all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerisms...

Their outer appearance becomes a manifestation of their inner hatred."

@OliverKahn In reality is even deeper than that, but few people in Germany can say the truth. With the current trend, it will be a big surprise if Germany will win anything in the next 20 years

Go to the Christian towns in Lebanon and you feel like you’re in Europe. Go to the Muslim regions and you feel like you’re in Kandahar.

Muslims couldn’t cross the cultural gap with their Christian neighbors in a tiny Middle Eastern country that shares the same land, the same language, and thousands of years of common history.

Now imagine the West expecting Muslims to integrate into Western civilization.

Dear Germans, I have some bad news for you.

You do not have enough children to pay for your pensions and healthcare, and one third of those you do have are on a straight path to permanent welfare.

Good luck with your future.

Your Holiness, let me put this as politely as I can: you don’t know what you are talking about.

If you want to write on a subject—horse racing, say, or musical composition—it’s a good idea to know something about it before putting pen to paper or, these days, hitting the computer keyboard. The same goes for economics. You don’t have to know anything about economics, but if you don’t, you shouldn’t pontificate on the subject. What you have written gives evidence of a soft heart, which is a good thing, but soft hearts, if they are not to be destructive, should be closely associated with hard heads. Your post is an embarrassment to those of us who are Catholic and who respect and venerate the office you hold.

You wrote: "Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty."

Yes, and that’s not good. However, almost all of the human race was immersed in extreme poverty for most of human history. The last two hundred years have seen the mass of people lifted out of poverty in a way that has never been achievable or achieved before. [see Hans Rosling’s Factfulness for some real information: [https://t.co/bNMsjvOPpi]

You wrote: "Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few."

If wealthy people have obtained their wealth by honest means, issues of proportionality are irrelevant. They have provided goods or services that people are willing to pay for and they have been rewarded accordingly. What they do with that wealth is a moral issue for them and not a legal or political matter for anyone else.

You wrote: “...the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.” [italics added]

This is a classic example of the zero-sum fallacy. The solution to poverty is to make poor people un-poor, not to make wealthy people un-wealthy. [see https://t.co/R1vgH4jUdJ] What you call 'equitable distribution' presumes that wealth is something that just sits there, waiting to be distributed. But wealth is something that is produced, and its production already determines its ‘distribution’.

Your Holiness, there is much work to be done to sort out the problems in the Church. May I respectfully suggest that you direct your attention to the resolution of these problems.

4 Essential Functions of Government according to Milton Friedman:

1) Defense from foreign enemies.
2) Protect the individual citizen from abuse/coercion by other citizens.
3) Define the rules.
4) Judicial System: Mechanism for adjudicating disputes around the meaning of rules
