Ist es sozialwissenschaftlicher Analphabetismus oder bewusste Irreführung oder beides? Einfach zum Haare raufen was da sogar vermeintlich seriöse Medien verbreiten
Der Unsinn von der Zustimmung zu Merz’ Aussagen wird jetzt wirklich überall verbreitet. Es ist nicht nur extrem frustrierend, dass das ZDF das nicht korrigiert, es ist schlicht auch ein Armutszeugnis für die deutsche Medienlandschaft. Unhinterfragt weitergegeben. Man möchte einfach nicht dazulernen.

This is bad, in & of itself, but also highlights the reality that no one - not 🇨🇦, or 🇬🇧, or the rest of 🇪🇺, or 🇯🇵, or 🇦🇺, & <certainly> not 🇩🇪 - is coming to poach 🇺🇸 scholars en masse, or to provide funding/jobs to offset the devastating cuts to NIH/NSF/Title VI/etc. etc. 🇺🇸 funding for science/higher ed.
The University of Cologne plans drastic cuts to its Political Science department, potentially abolishing the MSc in Political Science and eliminating the professorships in IR and Comparative Politics. This would severely weaken the social sciences at @unicologne.bsky.social.

“Gaza is a turning point that lays bare the full range and cruel depths of the contemporary world’s contradictions ... It exposes what is fundamentally wrong today: a persistent inability to recognize every human being as equal and deserving of dignity and life.”
“Gaza has become a symbol both of Western hypocrisy and its victims’ recourse to human rights as a final forum for collective deliverance—the deliverance of the wretched of the earth, whoever and wherever they may be. The consequences cannot be overstated.” @joelleabirached.bsky.social
