Orbán hat seine Wahlniederlage eingestanden. Damit verliert 1. Putin seinen treuesten Vasallen in der EU. 2. Trump seinen wichtigsten ideologischen Verbündeten in Europa. 3. Europas extreme Rechte ihre wirkmächtigste Galionsfigur. In einem Satz: Ein Sieg für die Demokratie.

In his strongest condemnation yet of the Trump-Vance war against Iran, Pope Leo XIV said today: “We are surrounded by a delusion of omnipotence that’s becoming increasingly unpredictable and aggressive.” “We are met by threats instead of invitations to come together. “Those who pray don’t threaten death. Death enslaves those who have turned their backs on God and turned themselves and their own power into a mute, blind, and deaf idol. “They demand the whole world bends their knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! “True strength is shown in serving life!”

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

🤡 The Strait was already open before the war. So to summarize: Trump started a conflict that closed it, then celebrated reopening it. And somewhere out there, his supporters are calling this a masterclass, which tells you everything you need to know about who’s been doing their reading.

The White House wonders why Europe won’t rally behind America in Iran. Maybe start by asking why your Vice President is flying to Budapest to have a warm chat with Viktor Orban, the man running a Russian influence operation from inside NATO’s borders. While Europe has been bleeding money and weapons to stop Russian aggression, Hungary has been blocking NATO decisions, sheltering Russian intelligence, and doing Moscow’s diplomatic dirty work at every turn. Orban isn’t America’s friend. He’s Putin’s man in Brussels. And JD Vance calls him a “good friend.” Europe is supposed to line up behind a war that had no plan for day two, no strategy for the Strait of Hormuz, and no consultation with allies beyond Israel. A war that has already sent oil past $100 a barrel and left one of America’s most powerful warships reportedly retreating toward the Indian Ocean. You don’t get to lecture Europe about loyalty while embracing the man working to destroy the alliance from within, and then demand backup for a war you started without asking anyone.

Right then. Let me explain something very slowly, because it appears some basic logic has gone missing somewhere over the Atlantic. No serious nation in the history of warfare has spent fourteen months insulting its allies, threatening to annex their territory, siding with their common enemy, and then knocked on their door expecting them to come running to rescue a catastrophe of its own making. That is not how alliances work. That is not how anything works. You abused the UK. You threatened Canada. You tried to grab Greenland. You called the EU an adversary. You praised Putin, the one man every serious NATO ally has spent decades preparing to fight. You hosted Kremlin officials in the Capitol. You undermined European elections. You abandoned Ukraine. You imposed tariffs on your closest partners. You did all of this loudly, proudly, and on camera. And now you are surprised that nobody is returning your calls. Here is a question worth sitting with. Why do you think that is? Is it possible, just possible, that when you treat your allies like enemies for over a year while cuddling up to their actual enemy, those allies might update their opinion of you? Is that concept too complicated? Does that require more working memory than is currently available? You did not plan this war with your allies. You did not consult them. You did not build a coalition. You started a conflict, watched it go sideways, and then got on your knees asking for help from people you spent fourteen months calling weak, corrupt and irrelevant. NATO is not what it was. Not because Europe changed. Because Washington made crystal clear which side it is on. And it is not ours. You want European boots on the ground? Start by explaining why America is more aligned with Moscow than with Brussels. Take your time. We will wait. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

You get attacked, NATO comes. You attack someone without asking, you’re on your own. It’s one sentence, Marco. Read it.

BREAKING: Trump’s FCC kept this interview of James Talarico and Stephen Colbert off the airwaves. But they couldn’t keep it off the internet. They are scared of losing power. Retweet this interview that Trump doesn’t want you to see.

Jammern und Klagen als Identität - Hass und Grausamkeit als Mittel - Seit langem keine so gute Analyse gelesen. Warum man MAGA nicht aus ihrer autoritären Identität “herausdiskutieren” kann sondern handeln muss.
AnthroVet50@spooked75

Why is MAGA so hateful? I get asked this a lot. The short answer is: because hate is the point. But let me break it down. Grievance as identity MAGA isn't a political movement built on policy. It's built on resentment. The core message has always been "you've been wronged" — by elites, by immigrants, by cities, by universities, by the media, by women, by minorities, by anyone who isn't you. This isn't a coalition that comes together to BUILD something. It comes together to tear things down. Hate isn't a byproduct of the movement. It's the fuel. Zero-sum thinking They genuinely believe that if someone else gains, they lose. Rights for gay people? That's an attack on Christians. Immigrants succeeding? They must be stealing from "real Americans." A Black president? He must be illegitimate. There's no concept of shared prosperity or expanding opportunity. Just winners and losers. And they're terrified of losing. The dominance hierarchy A lot of MAGA is rooted in evangelical and authoritarian psychology. There's supposed to be a natural order: white at the top, Christian at the top, male at the top, straight at the top. When you've been at the top of a hierarchy your whole life, equality feels like oppression. Giving others a seat at the table feels like theft. The media ecosystem Fox News → OANN → Newsmax → podcasts → Twitter/X. It's a 24/7 rage machine. Every algorithm rewards outrage. Every host competes to be more extreme than the last. These people are literally addicted to anger. Neurologically. They get dopamine hits from feeling righteous fury. They wake up and immediately check their phones to find out what they should be mad about today. Turn it off for a week and they go through withdrawal. Economic anxiety — weaponized Here's the thing: a lot of the underlying pain is real. Deindustrialization gutted their towns. Opioids killed their families. Wages stagnated while costs exploded. The American Dream stopped working for them. But instead of blaming the corporations that shipped jobs overseas, or the billionaires that rigged the economy, or the politicians that deregulated everything — they're taught to blame immigrants. To blame welfare recipients. To blame Black people in cities. To blame trans kids. Classic fascist playbook: take legitimate economic anger and redirect it at the vulnerable. The permission structure Trump didn't create the hate. He just gave it permission. For decades, these people were told to keep the quiet part quiet. Be polite. Use dog whistles. Then Trump came along and said the loud part loud — and nothing happened. No consequences. He showed them they could be openly racist, openly cruel, openly contemptuous of democracy — and not only survive, but win. "He fights" doesn't mean he fights for them. It means he's mean to people they don't like. The cruelty is the point. Community built on enemies This is the part people miss: MAGA is a community. For a lot of these people — especially older, rural, isolated Americans — it's their entire social world. Their friends are MAGA. Their family is MAGA. Their church is MAGA. The hate is the membership card. The shared enemies are what bind them together. Leaving the movement doesn't just mean changing your politics. It means losing everyone you know. So they double down. And double down again. Because the alternative is being alone. The bottom line Why is MAGA so hateful? Because scared people + relentless propaganda + permission to be cruel + community built on shared enemies = hate as a lifestyle. They're not going to be reasoned out of it. They weren't reasoned into it. The only thing that works is making it socially and politically costly to be part of it. Outvoting them. Out-organizing them. And building something better that gives people a different place to belong.

Ein Social-Media-Verbot für unter 16-Jährige stellt keine Einschränkung der Meinungsfreiheit dar, sondern ist primär als Maßnahme des Kinder- und Jugendschutzes zu verstehen. Die großen Plattformen sind strukturell darauf ausgelegt, Aufmerksamkeit durch Polarisierung, Emotionalisierung und permanente Zuspitzung zu maximieren. Die empirisch gut belegten Folgen sind Radikalisierungsdynamiken, die Normalisierung von Hass und Antisemitismus sowie eine fortschreitende Verrohung der öffentlichen Kommunikation. Das häufig vorgebrachte Argument, ein Verbot beschränke das Recht auf Information oder sperre den Zugang zu Medien, greift deutlich zu kurz. Algorithmische Systeme vermitteln längst keine neutralen Informationsräume mehr. Im Gegenteil: Sie belohnen extreme Inhalte, reduzieren Ambiguitätstoleranz, verstärken emotionale Reizreaktionen und fördern Empathiedefizite. In Echokammern entstehen alternative Wirklichkeitskonstruktionen, die sich zunehmend von überprüfbaren Fakten lösen. Auf diese Weise entwickeln sich Plattformen zu effektiven Manipulationsinstrumenten und systematischen Spaltungsmaschinen. Aus entwicklungspsychologischer Perspektive spricht daher vieles dafür, Kinder und Jugendliche in einer besonders prägenden Phase vor diesen Mechanismen zu schützen. Ein solches Verbot darf jedoch nicht isoliert stehen, sondern muss begleitet werden von systematischer Förderung von Medienkompetenz, kritischem Denken, Diskursfähigkeit und einem verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit digitalen Öffentlichkeiten. Ziel ist nicht Abschottung, sondern die Vorbereitung auf eine reflektierte, selbstbestimmte Nutzung. Hinzu kommt eine ökonomische Realität, die offen benannt werden muss: Es handelt sich um Geschäftsmodelle, die Milliarden mit Empörung, Desinformation, Verschwörungserzählungen und Hass generieren. Ohne den gezielten Aufbau digitaler Resilienz – bei Kindern, Jugendlichen und ausdrücklich auch bei Erwachsenen – wird die demokratische Debattenkultur langfristig nicht stabil zu halten sein. In dieser Klarheit muss die Diskussion geführt werden.#SocialMediaVerbot für unter 16
