Das sehen wir ja gerade auch so deutlich an der Epstein-Debatte. Zu viele Männer externalisieren diese Gewalt auf ~perverse Milliardäre~ und ~Eliten~, bedienen ihren eigenen Voyeurismus, streuen noch bisschen Antisemitismus drüber, aber ziehen keine Schlüsse über ihr eigenes Verhalten.

Vermutlich wäre es der Mühe wert, den allseits grassierenden Jugendwahn als eine Folge der pädokriminell inspirierten Ideologie zu betrachten, die jetzt an die Oberfläche kommt.

Die Normalisierung von Sexualdelikten ist ja schon lange im Gange. Die neuen Offenbarungen über die Epstein-Verstrickungen werden nun wohl auch die Pädokriminalität gesellschaftsfähig machen.

Die AfD bedroht die christlichen Kirchen:
Falls die AfD an die Macht kommen sollte: Kirchen in Sachsen-Anhalt fürchten um ihre Existenz
Sollte die AfD künftig das Land regieren, könnte das für die Kirchen vor Ort zur Zahlungsunfähigkeit führen. Sie warnen vor Auswirkungen auf Kitas, Schulen und Altenpflege.

Nebenbei bemerkt: Die Luftqualität in zahlreichen deutschen Städten ist seit Tagen wieder so schlecht, dass Aktivitäten im Freien vermieden werden sollten. Allerdings muss man Meldungen dazu gezielt suchen.

"Even if you don’t speak the language in question, always take at least a look at the original text in the form of a critical edition. This gives you information on how the text was actually established, whether there are variants or emendations and such like. A text is never a given."
