Die Krise der Demokratie begann lange Zeit vor Trump, vor der AfD und vor Social Media - und hat leider auch mit den traditionellen Medien zu tun. Meine Kolumne in der FR:

Wie Medien das Politikbild verzerren und damit Demokratie gefährden
Studien zeigen: Negativismus in Medien fördert Politikverdrossenheit – nicht nur in den USA, sondern auch in Deutschland.

Were Covid parties “more important” than jobs, the pandemic death rate, corruption, or other issues? Maybe not!

Were they what ended Boris Johnson’s premiership? Absolutely.

What people are missing here is that there are some pretty grim reasons why MTG and other far right people prone to racist conspiracy theories might view the Epstein affair as the red line that pushes them against Donald Trump.

Die Jobwechsel dieses AfD Mitarbeiters zwischen Bundeswehr, russischem Militärkomplex und Parlament sind atemberaubend. Aktuell arbeitet er ausgerechnet für den AfD-EU-Abgeordneten, Hans Neuhoff, der zur umstrittenen Russland-Delegation gehört, die jetzt nach Sochi reist.

Net zero is one of the many areas where commentators are out-of-touch with public opinion in Britain. There is still broad support for cutting carbon emissions - except from among Reform supporters, who are the outliers.
🧵/ How far does the public support net zero?

Support: 60%
Oppose: 25%

Net support by party
Green: +81
Lib Dem: +67
Lab: +64
Con: +11
Reform: -44

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.

In the name of "fighting antisemitism," Indiana University appointed a Christian scholar to tell Jewish scholars what they can and cannot say - all while they invited Tucker Carlson to speak on campus. www.jta.org/2025/11/07/u...

A leadership shakeup, a defunded graduate student and political pressure from above have turned a storied program into a flashpoint for Trump-era campus politics.

BYD, not fully invested in 🇪🇺, turns to Italy and is ready to ingest local component producers that used to supply ex-Fiat/Stellantis. 85 specialized firms in Turin alone have already signed contracts with BYD.

Clearly a transition that could have been home-made is happening via Chinese leadership.

Teheran hat 20 Millionen Einwohner und wird evakuiert werden müssen, wenn es in den nächsten Wochen nicht regnet.

Aber keine Sorge, das hat es auch früher schon gegeben (bei den Mayas zB) und kann in Europa sicher nicht passieren

There are many ways to do clickbait and to generate liberal outrage in order to boost engagement and thus advertisements. The NYT does it by promoting reactionary and far-right content. That is a conscious choice!

This was, of course, completely predictable and logical, as EU politics simply follow national politics in this. Most EPP parties have normalized the far right in their own country.

On March 6, #SCOTUS denied a Trump emergency application in the Dellinger case. That was the last time that happened; today's ruling is the 24th (consecutive) grant since then.

I survey this broader pattern (and its alarming implications) in a new draft paper here:

in fairness if I had to work with JD Vance I would probably long for the Politburo

Politik, die das Leben bezahlbar macht, ist nicht nur Sozialpolitik – sie ist Demokratieversicherung.Wenn das Garantieren von Grundgütern im Jahr 2025 radikal klingt, zeigt das nur, wie weit wir uns von den Versprechen der Demokratie entfernt haben. Märkte werden die Demokratie nicht retten.

Schon bemerkenswert, die Schlagzahl der BILD-Kampagne gegen Wadephul.
Man kann sich den Eifer kaum erklären, außer man sieht das Ganze auch als späte Bestrafung für das Abweichen Wadephuls von der israelpolitischen BILD-Orthodoxie in der Debatte um Gaza. Exempel statuieren.
