Sorry to say: Hans-Werner Sinn hat keine Ahnung. Es ist traurig, wie sich renommierte Namen bei Russlands Krieg lächerlich machen. Weil sie sich zu Themen äußern, von denen sie keine Ahnung haben. Da frage ich mich, ob man die Sachen ernst nehmen kann, bei denen sie sich auskennen (sollten).

I can *100% assure you* that if this report found that trans people & "wokeness" tanked the Harris campaign, the DNC would release it in a heartbeat
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

Dem Leaders Decide to Bury Damning Report on Why Trump Won in 2024
The Democratic National Committee has completed its long-awaited analysis on what went wrong in the 2024 campaign. But in a move that will attract intense criticism, it’s keeping the findings secret.

Lackluster empathy for how people are hurting is a big part of political polarization. Suffering is downplayed, labeled a result of personal choices, or (at worst) denied outright. Jews, Palestinians, chronically ill & disabled folks, queer people, refugees, poor people. They all experience this.

The West made this argument after Iran nationalized its oil.
Even worse, the US south made this argument after abolition.
They said they "created" US wealth through slavery and that abolition was the "tyrannical expropriation" of legally acquired wealth and property.
That's who they are.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

Zootopia 2 is the highest grossing Hollywood movie of the year & Kpop Demon Hunters was Netflix's most popular movie of all time, but fuck animators, am I right? I hate reading about how huge & beloved this stuff is while knowing how hard creators have it & how it still isn't broadly taken seriously

Here’s the thing: there are almost ZERO Jewish events, rites, and festivals that are exclusively attended by Zionists or anti-Zionists. We are simply too small to segregate ourselves that way in the diaspora. Any time you target a Jewish space or group you are almost certainly targeting both.
I’m already seeing the, “But Zionism isn’t the same as Judaism” posts.

Horrific mass shooting at Brown. Thinking of the victims and their families.
We simply do not have to live this way.
The failure to pass gun safety legislation is a moral stain & innocent Americans pay the price time and again.

Which is, y'know, terrifying. The reactionary right in South America is mobilizing hard, willing to turn the clock back to the early 80s with all that entails: gutting welfare, demonizing organized labor & civil society orgs & indigenous peoples, and giving carte blanche to big biz.
