Eine Schlagzeile aus der Hölle.
Während sich die ganze Rhetorik der Regierung Merz auf die Verteidigung der Demokratie nach AUSSEN konzentriert, wird sie im INNEREN geschliffen. Rechter Kulturkampf ist auch ein Angriff auf die Demokratie

Essential reading (by @jasonstanley.bsky.social) for every American. The media, aided by a handful of reactionary academics and compliant university administrations, has sold the public a huge lie about wokeness on college campuses, enabling the extreme right. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
