Greetings from Armenia, where the Armenians are gracious enough to let me try some basic phrases in their language – which is thrilling for an Indo-Europeanist like me. I'm getting a kick out of ordering two things with երկու (yerku) 'two', the unbelievable Armenian cognate of two/deux/dos/dva/etc.

Similar in Germany - general pearl clutching about a Left-led coalition in Berlin who want to make things affordable while an actual Nazi party is in power in Sachsen-Anhalt and racist attacks there are increasing.

🧵 — As US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent clearly has absolutely no idea what he is talking about and asks “Where is Germany?” when it comes to the supply of Patriot fire units and missiles to Ukraine, I thought this might be a good time for an educational thread.

This did make me chuckle. The depiction of France at the bottom seems remarkably correct, though.

An illustration poking fun at how different nations go about problem solving, showing for example
Germans moving straight from problem to solution, China denying there's a problem, Italy reaching a solution via a bowl of pasta, America with bombs, Russia with handcuffs, Switzerland with a referendum. Spain sleeps over it and still has a problem. France has a problem, then public protests, then it has many.

Bürgerlich-konservative Politiker haben Angst vor Berlin, weil sie a) inhaltlich selbst völlig blank sind und b) wissen, dass die Bevölkerung linke Politik mögen wird, weil sie dazu führt, das Leben wieder bezahlbar zu machen. Etwas, um das sich CDU und Co. schon lange nicht mehr kümmern.

Look, I fully get how defensive people get over this, but simple reality is that when people start punching down on one minority they end up punching down on others. The tactics used by so called "gender criticals" are no different in practice than those of far right racists. It's one and the same.

In Thüringen & Sachsen lässt sich die CDU de facto von der Linken tolerieren, für Merz 2. Wahlgang zum Kanzler war die Linke fein genug. Aber wehe die Linke regiert in Berlin mit, dann wird Brandmauer zur demokratischen Linken gefordert, die die Union zu gesicherten Faschisten schon mehrfach einriss

Die Union bastelt an einer Erlaubnisarchitektur um mit der AfD zu koalieren. Deswegen benutzt sie diskursives Mimikry gegen die Linke. Die Worte, die sie bei der AfD nicht findet, verwendet sie gegen links.

Increasingly convinced that much of the more unhinged commentary on Linke government in Berlin is from people who seem to have genuinely forgotten that they already governed there in the SPD-led Wowereit coalitions for TEN YEARS from 2001 to 2011

Die CDU wirft anderen Parteien einen Kulturbruch vor, fordert die Ächtung des politischen Gegners, empfiehlt politische Säuberungen und vergleicht Linken-Politiker mit Adolf Hitler. Hinterher beklagt Friedrich Merz dann wieder die Verrohung der politischen Debatte.

Manfred Weber wollte kürzlich die Brandmauer gegen Rechts definitiv einreissen. Söder will nun gegen Links eine aufbauen. Deutlicher kann man sich nicht positionieren. Warum? Die Berliner Koalition will das Verbotsverfahren anstoßen. Davor hat die eh schon in den Abgrund stürzende Union Todesangst.

Dieser Kanzler und seine Truppe reißen nichts mehr. Viel zu oft in den Fettnapf getrampelt, die Bevölkerung beleidigt, sich wie der sprichwörtliche alte weiße Mann verhalten. Doch nun ist eine Grenze ...
