Ich finde das Grinsen deplaziert, ich finde den Rassismus deplaziert und ich finde das Instrumentalisieren der Töchter für seinen Rassismus deplaziert. Ich muss sagen, Merz fehlt die sittliche Reife zum Bundeskanzler, schlicht die Größe. Vielleicht auch das intellektuelle Vermögen /2

@Eurostar You cancelled my train on 20.12.24. You told me I was entitled to a refund. I've now requested it multiple times on your website and app, and been refused every time. I've sent in contact forms, multiple times, and heard nothing back. What are you going to do?

🧵As a literary historian I sometimes wonder what's going to be said in the next few decades as opposed to how long it may take for the actual truth to be told, despite what's known. Many "big name" historians are cowardly yt men peddling half-truths & Zionist propaganda rn.

I’m afraid to say you must still be good. It is tempting to sink into the mud and let it close over your head, but you must still be good because the world needs your goodness. Take all the time you need and then we’ll begin together.

As a society we have still never processed the fact that millions of people once freely and enthusiastically voted for the Nazis.
