The thing to understand about Germany's establishment is that it's not so different from the American one: self-absorbed, entitled and cartoonishly vengeful when thwarted: after losing the vote for a UN SC seat, there are threats to stop paying UN dues.

Es täte auch der politischen Berichterstattung gut, sich die Frage nach objektiven Grenzen politischer Maßnahmen etwas regelmäßiger zu stellen, statt immer wieder darauf hereinzufallen, dass jemand mit möglichst kraftvoller Pose so tut, als könne er sie außer Kraft setzen.

Now I have a reading addiction, it drains my pocket, I have impossibly high standards, and I'm deeply unsatisfied with the real world😭

Ich sag's nochmal: Spahn ist einer der gefährlichsten, mächtigen Männer der Republik. Dass er gleichzeitig einer der unbeliebtesten ist, ändert daran nichts.

Bin echt froh, dass es mal gesagt wird. Und das aus berufenem Mund. Dieser Kindergarten ist eine Unverschämtheit gegenüber dem Wähler.

Die Gefahr von (extremistisch) "Links" muss natürlich immer zuerst genannt werden, so als stünde sie immer noch im Vordergrund. Wahlergebnisse und Daten zur politisch motivierten Kriminalität sprechen eine andere Sprache. Der Elefant im Raum nennt sich: Faschismus 2.0, @CDU.

Kanzlertausch

[Rudi Bachmann @BachmannRudi]

Wenn man die Äußerungen so mancher “Bosse” zu Brandmauer und Minderheitsregierung in den letzten Tagen hört - merkt man, dass diesen Leuten völlig die nötige republikanisch-demokratische Bildung fehlt. Sie verstehen offensichtlich nicht die Konstruktion einer Kanzlerdemokratie.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Many of them didn't. Your great-great-grandmother was probably drinking opium for her nerves, sold at the corner shop as cheap as a pint of beer. It was called laudanum, a mix of opium and alcohol that doctors handed out for anxiety, sleeplessness, and "women's troubles." Mothers fed it to crying babies. The babies often stopped crying because they stopped breathing.

The men drank. By 1830 the average American was putting away almost two bottles of liquor a week. Whiskey cost less than coffee or milk. People started their day with a shot and ended it with another. Toddlers drank from their parents' rum mugs.

ADHD has a long paper trail. A Scottish doctor described kids who couldn't focus in 1798. By 1846 there was a popular German children's book about a boy called Fidgety Philipp who couldn't sit still. In 1902, a London children's doctor named George Still wrote a famous paper on the same kids and called it a "defect of moral control." Same kid, three different centuries.

Depression and anxiety had old names too. Melancholia, hysteria, the vapors. Treatments included bloodletting, ice baths, and chaining people to a wall. By 1937, American mental hospitals held 451,672 patients and took up more than half of every hospital bed in the country. Inside the walls, about 1 in 10 patients died each year.

Then came the lobotomy. Between 1949 and 1952, around 50,000 Americans were strapped to a chair while a doctor hammered an ice pick through the thin bone above their eye and wiggled it around inside their brain. It took about ten minutes. Sixty percent of the patients were women. About 1 in 20 died from the procedure. Many of the ones who lived came out with no personality left. The man who invented the procedure won a Nobel Prize.

Britain's male suicide rate hit 30.3 per 100,000 in 1905. The lowest rates ever recorded in British history are happening right now.

Plenty of our ancestors didn't make it. They drank themselves dead. They overdosed on shop-bought opium. They got locked in asylums and never came out. They had picks driven through their eye sockets. They killed themselves in numbers we don't see today. The conditions were always there. The treatments just used to be worse than the disease.

When I talk to police officers privately, they almost always say the same thing: "you have no idea what's going on out there in the real world". To which I reply: I think the opposite is true. *You* have no idea what's going on out there, because you have self-selected into a

An alle, die von Merz enttäuscht sind, kann ich nur appellieren: Fallt nicht auf den nächsten Kerl rein, dessen markige Gegenwartsbeschreibung eurer Weltsicht entspricht, sondern fragt ihn nach konkreten Zielen und Konzepten, und euch selbst, ob sie euch realistisch erscheinen
