I care a lot

Es sind ja zim Glück nur viele und nicht alle!

Und wieder einmal zeigt sich: Man sollte lieber Historiker befragen als Politikwissenschaftler

Diese Gelassenheit ist aber ja auch nicht immer vorhanden..

This is a great cover.

Probably never a good idea to ask Trump for his gut feeling

Die Scheinheiligkeit der Rechtspopulisten ist atemberaubend.

I miss moderate centrists, who don’t claim to have all the answers, who don’t ascribe to either extreme ideologies or supposedly god-given rules to try and control other people, and who try to work together to settle problems aware of their own limitations. Where have they gone?

The right sets the terms of our political discourse in so many ways, one of which is the idea that there isn't enough "debate" and "free speech" on campus.

We need to push back on this. The truth is (speaking for myself as a history prof), I don't really emphasize debate much in my classes/

Fälschlicherweise hab ich das „Sie“ großgeschrieben, ich hatte natürlich die Veranstaltungen gemeint und nicht Sie persönlich..

Ungleich wirkmächtiger könnten solche Veranstaltungen sein, wenn Sie sich nicht immer wieder auf den problematischen Vorwurf des Genozids kaprizieren und zugleich umstrittene Redner einladen würden, sondern sich auf das evidente beschränkten: Dass Israel massive Menschenrechtsverletzungen begeht.

Why does it have to take one full day?

Man kann es mit der Kritik an einer Wokeness nun auch wirklich übertreiben.

Hoffentlich aber auch Honorarabrechnungen!

Leah McElrath @leahmcelrath There's no evidence of that. Malignant narcissists tend to get resentful and dwell on grievances rather than get depressed. They externalize blame and anger rather than internalize them. It's a mistake to assume their psychological processes or affective expressions mirror ours.

Leah McElrath @leahmcelrath Malignant narcissists dwell in a state of relative emotional emptiness. They do get happy and unhappy, but those states are related to whether their perceived needs for narcissistic supply are being met and whether they're otherwise meeting obstacles to getting what they want. 10:25 AM • 10/16/24 • 41K Views

Leah McElrath @leahmcelrath When you see negative affect in a malignant narcissist, it's an easy mistake to make to assume they're experiencing what you might be experiencing in their shoes—but they're not. Whereas you might experience sadness and self-reflection, they're more likely to be plotting revenge. 10:31 AM • 10/16/24 • 42K Views

Leah McElrath @leahmcelrath There is something called "narcissistic collapse" that can occur when a regular narcissist experiences public humiliation and their grandiosity defense fails, but, as a *malignant* narcissist, Trump is unlikely to enter into that process. Instead, as we've seen, he'd lash out. 10:42 AM • 10/16/24 • 44K Views

Some relevant information about how malignant narcissists like Trump respond to stress differently than most of us do:

Man muss nur ganz fest daran glauben!

Not if Putin confirms this nomination!

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Und wenn ja wie viele?

Why the Left Blames Liberals for Trump’s Authoritarianism The debate, as ever, is whether the left is discredited by its own excesses or by criticism of those excesses.

“Trump’s election, and his subsequent campaign to crush demonstrations, is precisely the scenario that liberal critics warned would occur,” Jonathan Chait writes. That this outcome is being used to discredit those same liberals is perverse yet familiar.

Vielleicht über eigenes Gefühl und Wahrnehmung reflektieren? Vielleicht könnte man zum Schluss kommen, dass Väter, die kochen ohne besoffen zu sein doch gar nicht so ungewöhnlich sind!
