What's interesting is that young men and young women are both more left wing than the general population, but vote for adolf hitler parties at much higher rates - AfD is much bigger than CDU under 25, and Die Linke is bigger or as big as SDP and Grune

I will say two things here on German elections tonight: 1) 84% turnout - highest since reunification - shows that Germans do care about democracy and elections. 2) @helenebismarck.bsky.social is right.

Antisemitismus wird relativiert, Verantwortung abgelehnt – und das in einer Postwurfsendung der CDU. Eine Partei, die sich angeblich zur Erinnerungskultur bekennt, tritt diese hier mit Füßen. Als jüdischer Politiker kann ich dazu nicht schweigen. Ein Thread. 🧵

There are many layers here, but I want to comment on one aspect of these findings for now--the editorial board representation. Some will see this and immediately think: we need to get more POC on our boards! I understand that impulse, but encourage you to think a few steps down the game tree 1/n.

Completely agree with this central point by Adam Tooze. But I’d (a) love to hear a good explanation and (b) am not sure what the point’s consequence is for the rest of the discussion.

This, and other @marinelivesorg.bsky.social threads, make me wonder why on earth I spent 200 or more hours over the past years to read mid-19th-c probate cases and testaments, only to discard about 90% of them. Could have spent that time reading novels on the beach, and now have AI sort it all out.
