In der aktuellen Debatte um mögliche Berliner Regierungen wären Transparenzhinweise wünschenswert, welche Politiker:innen, Expert:innen und Journalist:innen Eigeninteresse durch Verbindungen zur Immobilienwirtschaft und/oder Besitz und Vermietung von Eigentumswohnungen haben.

Fragt man die Regierenden von Berlin, was sie gegen den Wohnungsmangel und die astronomischen Mieten unternehmen, plappern sie seit Jahrzehnten Wolkiges von Bündnissen mit der Immobilienwirtschaft und bemühen das "Bauen, bauen, bauen"-Mantra. Das Ergebnis: www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/wohnu...

Grete Hermann (1901-1984), brilliant philosopher of maths and quantum mechanics and first student of Emily Noether. Hermann was co-founder of the journal Ratio, and turned to political philosophy later in her career, writing in 1947:
Whoever lives in the Third Reich or otherwise comes to terms with it, but isolates themselves from the political events around them in order to occupy themselves with other, in themselves beautiful and worthy subjects, is lending their name and their work to this system. There is no neutrality towards the legal and cultural decline in public life. Whoever does not oppose it is complicit in it. Whatever beautiful and good things they may create otherwise are devalued by this participation in the social injustice with which it is burdened.

I'm reluctant to point people in the direction of an individual scholar & incite a pile-on, so I'll simply complain that promoting AI deepfakes (this scholar's words) for historical reconstruction in the interest of "accessibility" while including a tiny paragraph on the "risks" replicates this.

It is a false distinction to see the atrocious attack in Berlin as something unique or exceptional. It is wrong to claim that it is an "attack on our free societies". It is a continuation of the practices of these societies. Only if we overcome these practices can we actually be safe.
