Der Umgang mit Rechtsextremismus in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik war immer problematisch. Immer beschwichtigend, immer verharmlosend. Selten die reale Gefahr im Blick, selten im Sinne der (potentiellen) Opfer. Es handelt sich um den politischen Extremismus, der in der Geschichte der… 1/29

AfD-Bundesvorstand Dennis Hohloch sagt zwei bemerkenswerte Sätze: „Partei und Jugend und Vorfeld bilden eine Symbiose“. Und: „Deutschland braucht keine 80 Millionen Menschen, sondern kann auch mit 60 Millionen leben“. Für beides gibt es Applaus, besonders laut für letzteres.

The #ERC just announced new rules! erc.europa.eu/news-events/... If you got a B score before, you’re blocked for 2 years (instead of 1). A C score means 3-year exclusion. This applies to the 2027 call for now, but I’d expect this to stick. Important for anyone planning to apply this round!

Wenn das Mathebuch der 5.-Klässlers fast genauso aussieht wie zu der Zeit, als ich 5.-Klässlerin war... und es war damals schon didaktisch spärlich und veraltet. Vielleicht liegt ein Grund der Mathemisere im Ländle ja am suboptimalen Material? Aber was weiß ich schon.
