@heikekluever.bsky.social in der heutigen SZ zur Brandmauer. Die Empirie spricht eine klare Sprache: Wenn die extreme Rechte mitregiert, wird sie größer und entzaubert sich nicht. Alles andere ist Wunschdenken und gefährliche politische Folklore.
📣 New op-ed in Süddeutsche Zeitung: What the data say about the “Brandmauer”

I summarize key findings from a study with @anninahermes.bsky.social across 57 democracies

➡️ Far-right parties don’t get weaker in government, they get stronger (~6 points by the next election)

Demokratie: Wenn die Rechte mitregiert, wird sie nicht geschwächt – im Gegenteil
Eine Untersuchung von 57 Ländern zeigt: Wenn die Rechte in Verantwortung kommt, gewinnt sie dazu. Daraus lässt sich für Deutschland lernen.

Totally agree and I would hope that European institutions finally take note and leave the cesspit that X has become. @ec.europa.eu

Uff, was für ein manipulatives Framing. Die Kritik richtete sich gegen die Pauschalisierung in der Aussage von Merz, nicht gegen Kritik an konkreten Problemen. Kein Student im BA würde mit so einer verkürzen Interpretation durchkommen. Das könnt ihr besser @zdfheute.de.web.brid.gy
Überraschend, dass das ZDF-Politbarometer diese Umfrage so verzerrt darstellt: Statt nach der Originalaussage von Merz zu fragen, die tagelang diskutiert wurde, wird in der Umfrage seine späte Rechtfertigung ergänzt. In der Grafik wird das aber gar nicht erwähnt. So geht Framing.

When people bring me their dataset and say they've anonymized it.
Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

ist, dass eine Öffnung der AfD das Wasser abgraben würde. Ich halte das für (wohlwollend interpretiert) hilfloses Rumgestochere in nach wie vor völliger Ignoranz dessen, wozu sich Politikwissenschaftler*innen, wie ich immer wieder sage, die Finger blutig schreiben.

The @europarl.europa.eu just made a fool of itself with this ban. Is there evidence that consumers think a "veggie burger" contains meat? Utterly ridiculous, and just (further) undermines the credibility of the institution (at the behest of the EPP).

EU parliament votes to ban meat names for plant-based foods
Pressure to ban meat labels for plant-based products comes from Europe's livestock farmers.

Der Vorwurf "die Linken sind Schuld am weltweiten Vormarsch der Rechtsradikalen" ist so platt und eindimensional, man fragt sich wirklich, wie man Menschen, die so etwas schreiben, je für Intellektuelle halten konnte. Das ist Schuldumkehr für billige Klicks. (Thread)
