This is a wonderful study @lwestheuser.bsky.social & Koen Damhuis, showing the unique contribution qualitative research can make to a field dominated by quantitative studies (but, of course, created by qualitative scholars). 👏

The German state has arrested people and accused them of hating Jews for wearing Palestine-colored maps of Palestine/Israel that don’t show the borders between the State and the occupied territories. It funds conferences which advertise with identical, but Israel-colored maps.

We‘ve now had multiple historical institutions in Germany use AI, mostly image generators, to do public history projects on Holocaust and WWII history, or marginalized histories like women scientists and idk, maybe take that into account when you praise our Erinnerungskultur cause wtaf are we doing

According to FAZ, Katharina von Schnurbein (KVS), the EU's controversial antisemitism coordinator, may be moving to a position in Germany. But her record raises serious questions about whether she can credibly represent the diversity of Jewish life or the fight against antisemitism.

It's a major structural problem in academia that we are incentivised, basically soft-forced, to apply for the Big Money, even though all many of us would need is a meagre Researcher Basic Income. It's all a big waste and misallocation of resources at the Altar of Overheads.

Germans are a passive-aggressive rules-enforcing society, that does not mean they are good at following them, merely that they sublimate aggression and dance around conflict by shaming each other in following norms and customs and complaining about rule-breakers (hypocritically)

Modern rent controls aren't as damaging, and blending evidence of old strict rent controls with the modern versions just confuses the issue and leads to presenting a misleading "consensus" that doesn't really exist.

Incredible scandal. First the ex-BvS chief turns out to be a far-rightist and now the ex-BND chief turns out to be a traitor (we already knew that he also was a nativist). Germany is rotting from the top.

“This is our Urban Arrow and we’ve had this since we moved to Chicago. I use it to get my kids around, and sometimes even the two kids and my mom in here. So it's our two wheels, but, like an SUV on two wheels.” 🧵

A smiling woman stands on a city street next to a white cargo e-bike. She has dark long hair with a flower clip, glasses, and is wearing a short-sleeved blue patterned jacket with orange trim over a peach top, a long floral-patterned skirt, and white sneakers. Her bike is a white Urban Arrow front-loading cargo bike with a large black front box, yellow panniers on the rear rack, a helmet hanging from the handlebars.

A closer shot of the same woman, with people sitting at picnic tables in the street behind her.

This is a bit puzzling given that "green politics" should be positive economically especially in times of energy shocks. Is it do you think a problem of perception (green issues perceived as non economical) or a problem of issue ownership?

This is meant to be a provocation, but it show a major generational shift in the German far right - during the Cold War, the far right followed the expellee lobby and talked about 1937 borders (i.e reclaiming East Prussia and Silesia from the USSR and Poland but pre Anschluss of Austria)

Der Tankrabatt ist ein Musterbeispiel der politischen Ideen- und Ambitionslosigkeit. Ein schaler Minimalkompromiss, Geld drauf geworfen, um kurzfristig irgendwie rumzuwurschteln. Er konterkariert eigentliche Ziele und verwässert damit politisches Handeln.

A feature of post-war German democracy has been that the left has traditionally had far more of a firewall to the far left than the center right has had with the far right. The central role of anti-communism in Cold War West Germany created a structural asymmetry that has not been reckoned with.

The current fights about the AfD and the Linke are in part because the increased power of the far right has created demand for new guardrails that didn't previously exist, and the challenge to the neoliberal order that the SPD helped create is blurring old lines about the meaning of center left.
