Großen Respekt für die Haaretz, die den kollektiven Blutrausch von Anfang an komplett verweigert und unbeirrt an der Wahrheit festhält.

Claudia Reiterer: „Ich war immer ein Stehaufweibchen“ Nach acht Jahren als Moderatorin von „Im Zentrum“ wurde Claudia Reiterer abgesetzt. Grund wurde ihr keiner genannt. Ihre neue Freiheit hat sie zum Schreiben genutzt – und für ihre Zukunft will sie...

Im 5. Wiener Gemeindebezirk versammeln sich an diesem Wochenende internationale Identitäre. Derzeit formiert sich in den Straßen ein bunter Gegenprotest. Ich sehe SPÖ, Grüne, NEOS, KPÖ, LINKS. Bunte Liegestühle und Fahnen gegen den rechten Rand. Gut so! Vielleicht möchte die ÖVP auch vorbeikommen?

External observers have long been struck by the rampant depoliticization that has made the most celebrated American writers susceptible to the lures of unprincipled power and vacuous celebrity: for instance, David Foster Wallace spending over twenty thousand words to investigate, indecisively, whether John McCain was a moral hero and a “real leader or merely a very talented political salesman,” when a quick glance at the voting record of the warmongering Republican senator would have sufficed. In recent years, writers abroad who are, or romantically see themselves as, necessarily alienated critics of society have been baffled to see American counterparts gratefully receiving laurels from Barack Obama, “our own Black shining prince,” as Ta-Nehisi Coates, borrowing from Ossie Davis’s eulogy of Malcolm X, put it. In their eyes, some unprecedented confusion of literature with neoliberal chic occurred when Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie read aloud, at the PEN America World Voices Festival, her Atlantic article that she had wanted to title “Why Is Hillary Clinton So Widely Loved?” as the former secretary of state looked on fondly.

Damn, this essay is FIRE

Writing a theory section that says, essentially: everyone is wrong, but also a little bit right, and only I can fix it.

The image shows "Destruction," the fourth painting in Thomas Cole's five-part series, The Course of Empire. The painting is filled with symbols of chaos and destruction, including burning buildings, warring soldiers, and a broken statue, representing the loss of order and the triumph of brute force. It is part of The Course of Empire, a series that illustrates the cyclical nature of civilizations, from their rise to their eventual decline and desolation.

In popular discourse, the world was once good, people were virtuous, and all things were beautiful. Then modernity came along and destroyed everything. In this view, beauty is an objective standard that has been corrupted by liberalism.

Could this city be the model for how to tackle the housing crisis and climate change? Vienna has a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in, and they're building their own green housing.

"Understanding Trump" by George Lakoff, author of "Moral Politics: How Liberals and Conservatives Think, Third Edition"

Political discourse makes use of unconscious thought, which shapes conscious thought via unconscious framing and commonplace conceptual metaphors. It is crucial, for the history of the country and the world, as well as the planet, that all of this be made public.

Benjamin Netanjahu ist ein Verbrecher. Sagt der IStGh. Israel verübt Genozid. Sagen praktisch alle einschlägigen Forscher. Israel vereinnahmt Gaza für eigene Zwecke. Sagt die UN. Auch das größte Leid, dass dir passiert ist, rechtfertigt keine eigenen Verbrechen. Sagt dir Bibel.
