Ja, lieber @blick.ch, in der Schweiz kann jedes dritte Kind -- ja sogar jeder dritte Erwachsene -- nicht "richtig" (wenn überhaupt) Deutsch.

Und das ist auch gut so. (Vgl. Art. 4 und Art. 8 Bundesverfassung.)

We often get Citizens’ Assemblies backwards. Don't fit a problem to an institution. Instead:
☑️Define the problem.
☑️Assess strengths & weaknesses.
☑️Choose the right participatory tool.

Align resources with the problem, not the other way around.

Kleines Journi-(Nicht-)Wörterbuch für diese Tage:

Mit rechtsextremen Positionen polarisieren ≠ demokratische Debatte suchen

Die Gleichstellung von schwarzen Menschen, FLINTA-Personen und Frauen ablehnen ≠ provokative Positionen

Weisser Suprematismus ≠ rechtskonservativ

Nicht so schwierig.

"Trump has been signaling for a decade or so that political violence committed by his supporters is acceptable and might even be rewarded...Trump and...his acolytes frame such conduct not as violence, but as legitimate...self-defense;...they portray themselves as perpetual victims."

New column:

Violence As Policy in Trump’s America

Jan-Werner Mueller argues that the murder of Charlie Kirk has highlighted the fundamental asymmetry of contemporary US politics.

@flyswiss.bsky.social si comporta come se fosse una compagnia zurighese, salutandoci con un “grüezi” che forse crede simpatico, ma che molti — bernesi, ticinesi, romandi... — percepiscono come un gesto di arroganza, visto che i 2 miliardi lo hanno ricevuto da tutti i contribuenti svizzeri.

'There is...no credible version of “conservatism” that justifies Trump’s...concentration of power; and anyone with an ounce of understanding of the constitution would recognize the daily violations. This case can be made without buying into the separation of powers narrative criticized by the left.'

In a mafia state 'benefits go to what Magyar calls a “political family” (in Trump’s case, it of course includes the biological family); but in return there has to be absolute loyalty and omertà. A mafia state resembles Hotel California: you can officially check out, but you can never leave.'
