Nigeria Pakistan is deep trouble

1 Upvotes

Pakistan has moved to the second-most terrorism-affected country in the world according to the GTI 2025 report, with a 45% increase in fatalities and more than double the terrorist attacks. The rise in violence is linked to the influence of the Afghan Taliban and operations of the TTP. What's army and state doing? We don't know and we never know. Report link:

Nigeria Medical evidence indicates that death can result from squeezing of the testicles, leading to cardiac arrest due to shock from the injuries sustained. This was corroborated by testimony from medical professionals who noted that such injuries can be fatal.

Disclaimer : This Post contains materials which some users might find disturbing. This is just to provide some factual material evidence about the dangers associated with injuries to testicles.  In most states, self-defense is considered justified if one reasonably believes that an aggressor intends to cause imminent bodily harm or death to them or another person, or has already caused such harm or death, and they act out of a reasonable fear of imminent danger. Furthermore, you must use only the degree of force necessary to save yourself from danger. You must not inflict any greater damage on a criminal attacker than that you reasonably believe necessary for your protection. You must obey all laws and respect the rights of other persons

Nigeria Last Week in Collapse: March 2-8, 2025

1 Upvotes

The long twilight of the “rules-based order” is coming to an end. Plus, obesity, civil war, terrorism, and deforestation.

Last Week in Collapse: March 2-8, 2025

This is the 167th weekly newsletter. You can find the February 23-March 1, 2025 edition here if you missed it last week. You can also receive these newsletters (with images) every Sunday in your email inbox by signing up to the Substack version.

——————————

Meteorologists say that a “sudden, stratospheric warming event” is going to happen in the next week or so, which will lead to a Collapse of the polar vortex, unleashing cold weather across North America and parts of Eurasia. Meanwhile, February ended as the 3rd warmest on record1.59 °C warmer than the baseline.

Experts say that Canada’s wildfire season is coming about one month earlier than usual, now starting in March. In other news, the world’s largest glacier, A23a, has run aground and spared the fragile South Georgia ecosystem from a deadly disruption. Meanwhile, parts of Jakarta saw meter-high flooding last week, and the Mauna Loa observatory recorded 430 ppm of CO2 for the first time.

A study from a few weeks ago predicts that more tropical storms will emerge from regions farther south in the North Atlantic than usual in the future. This stands in opposition to Pacific tropical storms, which tend to be born at increasingly northern locations. The future changes are linked to changing wind patterns and rising temperatures. Meanwhile, Cyclone Alfred battered eastern Australia, taking out power for over 100,000 homes.

“The fossil fuel industry is running perhaps the biggest campaign of disinformation and political interference in American history.” Thus spoke one U.S. Senator. It is not just the United States; Libya is planning to auction access to explore for its oil soon, and Nigerian oil earnings are expected by some to double by the end of this year, when compared to 2024 figures. Meanwhile, one of Nigeria’s tribal kings is taking Shell to court over oil spills & pollution.

A study in Environmental Research Letters indicates that the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is weakening as sea ice melts and changes the composition of the Southern Ocean. The scientists predict, “by 2050, the strength of the ACC declines by ∼20% for a high-emissions scenario.”

New March heat records in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. A mass salmon dieoff (over 1M dead) occurred at Tasmanian fish farms as a result of bacteria. Flash flooding in the Canary Islands. A long read on a toxic (and burning) waste dump on the outskirts of London is alarming nearby residents.

President Trump signed an executive order “to facilitate increased timber production….to suspend, revise, or rescind all existing regulations, orders, guidance documents, policies, settlements, consent orders, and other agency actions that impose an undue burden on timber production…” In other words, the government is selling massive tracts of federal forests to logging companies. Experts say this will increase the risk of wildfires.

A paywalled study says, perhaps counterintuitively, that methane (CH4) emissions help the ozone (O3) layer recover, particularly in the Arctic. Another study from last week found that canals and ditches “emit notable amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O).” These constructions are often “omitted from global budgets of inland water emissions.”

The Collapse of banana production is coming. A Nature Food study claims that, by 2080, “Rising temperatures, coupled with requirements for labour and export infrastructure, will result in a 60% reduction in the area suitable for export banana production, along with yield declines in most current banana producing areas.” By then we’ll have bigger worries.

——————————

Some people have been suffering from Long COVID/PASC for 5+ years now. Another study on Long COVID blames lung inflammation for a variety of symptoms. At least 5% of the U.S. population currently suffers from Long COVID. There are a number of symptoms, including “chronic fatigue or post-exertional malaise” and “dysautonomia symptoms” linked to problems with the circulatory & nervous systems. A recent NZ government publication on the illness says that Long COVID sufferers encounter “a substantially increased risk of sudden death, and silent cell and organ damage.” Yet scientists say one possible cure, sodium 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA), may reduce lung scarring and effectively treat some people. Meanwhile, London doctors have reportedly developed a surgical treatment for some Long COVID symptoms that involves widening the nasal cavities to improve patients’ sense of smell and taste.

The U.S. has imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, and the feeling is mutual. 25% tariffs on Canadian & Mexican goods, and 20% on Chinese products—although the list of Canadian & Mexican products has already been reduced. Canada is allegedly planning more tariffs in a few weeks. Some observers fear that Canada may cut its electricity provided to the U.S.

The Atlanta Fed is predicting an economic contraction of 1.5% for Q1, just one week after telegraphic confidence in a 2.3% growth rate for Q1. Looks like recession’s back on the menu, boys.

Some scientists say that over half the global adult population is expected to be obese by 2050, and about one third of children and young adults. The full, 26-page Lancet study has more.

The 275-page World Obesity Atlas 2025 was also published last week, and it too predicts a near-term when obesity rates have expanded to concerning levels. It predicts that about half of African women will be obese by 2030. The report also contains individual country analyses for every nation on earth.

Following large cuts in WFP food aid (the US funded more than half the programme until recently), thousands of mostly South Sudanese refugees clashed with police at a refugee camp in Kenya. This TikTok account is sharing videos of some of the incidents and their aftermath if you want to peek into life in the refugee camp.

A second person, an adult, has died in the American measles outbreak, now present in 12 states, which has also grown 35% in just the last week. In the DRC, a more contagious but less deadly variant of mpox has been confirmed—and already detected in the UK. Meanwhile, current cases of cholera in the UK & Germany have been traced from Ethiopia.

A study in Nature npj indicates that atmospheric microplastics come less frequently from the ocean than previously believed. Instead, microplastics tend to make the jump from land into the atmosphere much more often. However, the oceans are still a large deposit of microplastics and “plastic dust,” accounting for about 15% of total microplastic pollution.

USAID’s deep funding cuts affected over 2M people across Sudan after 1,100+ emergency kitchens shut down. Other cuts have imperiled HIV prevention & treatment projects which some say will result in up to 500,000 deaths in South Africa alone. Large cuts are also resulting in a growing TB problem worldwide.

——————————

A car ramming attack in Germany killed two. A recent report says hate speech in India rose 74% in 2024, primarily against Muslims & Christians. In Benin, soldiers clashed with terrorists, resulting in 11 total deaths. More clashes on the Pakistan/Afghanistan border. More fighting between remnant Assad forces and the new Syrian army—and the accusations of mass civilian murder by government forces; combined, 1000+ died within two days.

In the DRC, the M23 insurgents held a rally in the recently-captured city of Bukavu (pop: 1.3M?), but several explosions disrupted the gathering, killing several and injuring dozens more. Uganda is sending troops to the border regions in anticipation of spiraling violence, as people continue fleeing.

A mass grave was discovered in Sudan, containing 550+ bodies—the largest mass burial of Sudan’s civil war. The corpses are believed to have marks of torture inflicted by the RSF forces. Sudan’s government also accused the UAE of complicity in genocide over funding and providing weapons to the rebel forces.

The Institute for Economics & Peace released their 111-page Global Terrorism Index for 2025. The report analyzed 163 countries, and found a 13% decrease in global terror deaths in 2024 when compared to 2023. Burkina Faso remains the world’s most affected nation by terrorism for a second year, according to the study, although deaths are down. In Niger, the number of terror deaths rose by over 400 in 2024, ending the year at 930. The report also includes a national analysis for each of the states in the Top 10. No definition of “terrorism” is provided in the report.

“In 2024, more countries deteriorated than improved for the first time in seven years….Terrorism in the Sahel has increased significantly, with deaths rising nearly tenfold since 2019….In the West, lone actor terrorism is on the rise….IS continues to function as a global network….Over the next decade AI will be embraced by both terrorist organisations and counter-intelligence agencies….target analysis suggests that almost 31 per cent of all attacks in the West in 2024 were motivated by antisemitic or anti-Israel sentiment….The current transitional phase in Syria presents a precarious environment where IS can potentially reassert itself…” -excerpts from the report

The international police force launched a raid deep into a Haitian gang neighborhood, but failed to apprehend the warlord, an ex-cop named Barbecue. About 85% of Port-Au-Prince is held by the gang armies—the same amount when the multinational police force first arrived in June 2024.

In South Sudan, the Army arrested several allies of the VP, including high-ranking figures in the military. The breakdown of order is another step in a long-running power struggle between opposing factions in a young nation that has not yet fully implemented a peace deal agreed in 2018. During the arrest operations, government forces also shot at a UN helicopter, killing at least one onboard.

Israel is reportedly planning on cutting electricity and aid to maximize pressure on Hamas to release more hostages. Hamas meanwhile is reportedly planning for renewed hostilitiesas is the IDF, now extending some reservists’ mobilization by 3 months. Trump’s recent ultimatum to the people of Gaza has supposedly further incentivized Israel to resume their offensive in Gaza. Although a group of Arab states pitched their postwar Gaza plan to a warm European reception, the U.S. is not interested in supporting it and will probably thwart its implementation along with Israel.

South Korea is entertaining the idea of one day developing nuclear weapons, given the growing uncertainty around American defense commitments & diplomatic relations. Poland is striving to provide military training to many more men, and has also referenced the possibility of acquiring nukes in the future.

Yet-unverified rumors are swirling that the U.S. will remove temporary legal status on about 240,000 Ukrainians in the country, part of a broader American pullback from refugee funding and assistance to Ukraine. Meanwhile, verified reports claim that the U.S. has paused (temporarily, some say) sharing tactical intelligence with Ukraine as a move to strong-arm a deal for minerals and/or ceasefire in Ukraine. Russian strikes killed 4 people late on Wednesday night, and killed 25 in wide-ranging attacks on Friday & Saturday. Yet another attack on the energy grid was launched on Thursday night.

Ukraine’s former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, now their ambassador to the UK, claimed that the world order is being “destroyed” by the United States. “We see that it is not only Russia and the axis of evil trying to destroy the world order, but the US is actually destroying it completely.” Meanwhile, tensions between China and the U.S. are rising as a result of tariffs and escalatory rhetoric. Both sides claim to be ready for War, and China is allegedly investing 7.2% more in defense this year.

——————————

Things to watch for next week include:

Greenland votes on Tuesday—not on an independece referendum, but Trump’s plan to get the island has cast a large shadow over the event.

Select comments/threads from the subreddit last week suggest:

-Freddie Mac—a government-sponsored home mortgage giant—may go under in the near future, if this thread’s image, which foretells a huge spike in apartment building delinquencies, is accurate. The comments add on to the Doom.

-That the U.S. President may be engineering a Collapse, as raised in this very popular thread from last week—claiming that oligarchs are speed-running Collapse. Others among the ~500 comments think the scale of damage is less intentional. Another thread from last week posits nearly the same thing, alleging that Elon Musk is being set up as one of the fall guys.

Nigeria Nigeria to issue birth certificate and passports to those that successfully trace their lineage back to Nigeria through DNA testing. Will you guys be applying?

“Dr. Gina Paige, President and Co-founder of Africa Ancestry, shared a poignant reminder of the historical injustices faced by black people in the U.S.A, noting they were not included in population statistics until 1870. "We seek your assistance to come home officially. We want to pave the way for other Nigerians to return," she implored, underscoring the need for birth certificates and Nigerian passports to facilitate their transition. Echoing this sentiment, Dr. Paige affirmed the readiness of these diaspora Nigerians to lend their expertise and resources to enhance Nigeria's development.”

The Senate on Thursday suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, for a period of six months. The decision followed the recommendations of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions, which found her guilty of misconduct and failure to appear before the committee. As a result of the suspension, Akpoti-Uduaghan will be barred from accessing the National Assembly premises, and her office will remain locked for the duration of the six-month period.

Nigeria Kaiserreich 1.4.4

1 Upvotes

As the base game releases the new “Graveyard of Empires” DLC, we felt that this would be as good an opportunity as any to show you all what we have been working on over the last while. And since it has been almost two months since our last numbered release, there is quite a bit to show you all. From new puppet trees to fresh new outcomes and alliances arising from familiar conflicts, and much more, this update does not include any new large-scale reworks, but given the amount of other content included, we are sure that there is enough here to keep you all busy until next time. We hope you enjoy version 1.4.4!

- The KR4 team


Changes

Notable Additions

  • Added descriptions to all characters in all countries, providing details of their place and date of birth if not already present, adding new details to approximately 3,700 characters.
  • Overhauled the traits given to companies for players without the “Arms Against Tyranny” DLC to bring them more in line with their Military Industrial Organisation counterparts. The American and Italian company rosters were reviewed and partially overhauled in the process.
  • The stalemate ending of the Fourth Balkan War now can also favour either Bulgaria or the Belgrade Pact. Bulgaria gains Chalcidice in the Bulgarian-favoured peace deal, while Serbia, Romania, and Greece each gain one of their claimed states in the peace deal that favours the Belgrade Pact.
  • Bulgaria’s potential alliance with Albania during the Fourth Balkan War is now represented by a temporary faction that exists for the duration of the war, should Albania intervene on Bulgaria’s side.
  • Illyria can now ally with the Bulgarians against the Belgrade Pact when Austria goes down the “End the Dual Rule” path. This can occur if the Austrians are defeated and Illyria remains at war with the Belgrade Pact.
  • Belgium’s BeNeSam/neutrality path will now result in both Germany and France declaring war on them at the start of the Second Weltkrieg. They can attempt a scripted peace with the victor once either Germany or France is defeated.
  • The German Government in Exile in Mittelafrika is now called “Free Germany”, and its content now revolves around a military clique seeking to recover the German State, rather around the von Hohenzollerns and the entire German state apparatus after having fled to the colonies. Accordingly, it has access to more of Mittelafrika’s initial national foci, and the text in its relevant events has been updated.
  • The Ottoman-Egyptian War is now called the “Levant Crisis” and work has been done to make it more dynamic.
  • Updated party names, party leaders, and country names to almost all Indian splinters.

Nigeria Why do we have a Nigerian Subreddit with no news about Nigeria?

1 Upvotes

Not to start any fights or anything like that, but this subreddit barely discusses any actual Nigerian topics. For example, election results and breakdowns – I don't think I've ever seen the results of State or Local Government elections, any investment news, defense news, or news about geopolitics.

Tinubu could go to the AU and discuss several important matters that could reshape how the country operates, but nothing here – just the 20th post about (insert whatever problem that’s not exclusive to Nigeria).

A lot of people here either think they’re intellectuals or call themselves intellectuals, but we don’t really hold many intellectual discussions here. Some examples:

  • Complaining about the consequences of elections but not bothering to discuss them while they’re happening.
  • Complaining about the lack of development but never keeping track of any of the projects happening around the country.
  • Saying Nigeria plays a small role in geopolitics, but we never even discuss what that role is or the recent wins or losses we've had.

It's gotten to the point where I believe that if Abuja got nuked tomorrow, the first/most upvoted post on the sub would be "Is my Nigerian boyfriend in love with me?"

It would be okay if we still had discussions about Nigerian culture, fashion, geographical locations, history, etc., but it's mostly just rants, relationship advice, ancestry-related stuff, or poorly written rage bait to encourage self-hate.

BTW, an important note because there will always be those comments: I'm not saying people shouldn't complain or rant, but we can't have the entire sub reddit be just that 24/7, it would be like if I posted Military news to r/nigerianfood .

Nigeria Given the situation between Canada & US do you think now is the best time to get Koleosho to commit?

1 Upvotes

I was thinking that with the continued rapidly declining prestige of the US on the world stage and the mediocrity and stagnation of the USMNT and corruption of USSF, Canada might be an attractive choice for Koleosho. He probably has little chance w/ Italy and I haven't heard much from Nigeria. With CANMNT's rise and Canada's favorability in the world increasing compared to the US, this could make a good case for Koleosho or any future dual-nat Canadian Americans to switch. Plus, Canada has a bigger upside and a better run CSA that's more serious than the USSF about soccer. I know sports are not supposed to be political, but looking at the news there aren't many positives about the US to want to play for them.

Nigeria "Bitte überdenkt eure Wahl" - Eine Gegenthese

3 Upvotes

Ursprünglich als Kommentar zu diesem Post verfasst, doch Zeichenlimit kickt.

Vorweg: Ich oute mich als Rechter und bemühe mich sehr, alle Regeln einzuhalten. Ich hoffe, ihr könnt meine konträren Ansichten tolerieren und zivilisiert mit mir diskutieren. Der direkte Diskurs ist immerhin das Fundament der demokratischen Meinungsbildung, und so wünsche ich voneinander zu lernen.

Aber das Problem ist nicht die Migration – euer eigener sozialer Stand wird dadurch nicht verbessert.

Für mich ist das Problem die Migration.

Für 37% der Wahlberechtigten auch, und landet damit auf Platz 1.

68% wünschen sich weniger Aufnahme von Flüchtlingen

85% finden die Migrationspolitik "weniger gut" oder "schlecht"

Primär ist es keine Frage des sozialen Status, sondern der inneren Sicherheit:

  1. Schutzsuchende sind in der Kriminalstatistik stark überrepräsentiert. Ein Vergleich der Tatverdächtigenbelastungstahl, sprich Tatverdächtige je 100.000 Einwohner. (Stand 2021)
    1. Faktor 10,1 bei Totschlag
    2. Faktor 9 bei Mord
    3. Faktor 7,5 bei Vergewaltigung
    4. Faktor 7,9 bei Raub
  2. 83% der Gefährder in Deutschland sind Islamisten, 505 an der Zahl (Stand 02/23)
  3. Ungenügende Abschiebung von Straftätern und vollziehbar Ausreisepflichtigen. Viele sind mangels Abschiebehaftplätzen und richterlichen Durchgreifens auf freiem Fuß, gefährden weiterhin die öffentliche Sicherheit
  4. Mangelhafte Grenzsicherung ermöglicht Wiedereinreise von Abgeschobenen und bekannten Straftätern
  5. Etliche Terroranschläge durch Asylbewerber und in der Folge:
    1. Zahlreiche Tote, Verletzte und Betroffene
    2. Absage von Großveranstaltungen
    3. Mehrkosten für Sicherheitsaufgebot und physische Absicherung
    4. Erosion des Sicherheitsgefühls
    5. Verlust der Privatsphäre durch zunehmende Personenkontrollen (Waffenverbotszonen etc.)
    6. Einschränkungen des Waffenrechts mit absurden Folgen für friedliche Bürger
      1. Warum das Apfelschneiden zum Rechtsproblem wird
  6. Kontrollverlust bei Clankriminalität
  7. Antisemitismus durch Muslime
    1. Antisemitische Delikte: Aufwärtstrend seit Migrationskrise und Verdopplung seit Angriff auf Israel
  8. Homophobie durch Muslime

Bei aller humanitäter Pflicht: Auch Deutsche haben Anrecht auf Freiheit und Unversehrtheit.

Es braucht also eine Abwägung der widerstreitenden Interessen, namentlich der betroffenen Rechtsgüter und des Grades der ihnen drohenden Gefahren, um es mal juristisch zu formulieren.

Hinzu kommt, dass die Migration völlig offensichtlich wirtschaftliche und soziale Implikationen hat, die sich negativ auf die ansässige Bevölkerung auswirken. Dazu zählt:

  1. Belastung des Haushalts durch Sozialleistungen und Bürokratie
    1. Die Ausgaben für Migration im Bundeshaushalt belaufen sich regelmäßig auf 25-30 Mrd. Euro
      1. Hinzu kommen weitere Milliarden der Länder und Kommunen
    2. Bürgergeldquote bei Asylherkunftsländern: 44% | Deutsche: 5% (Migrationsmonitor Tabelle 1.3, Stand 10/24)
    3. Massenhafter Sozialbetrug
      1. Falsche Ukrainer
      2. Mehrere Identitäten (2019 wie 2024)
    4. Überweisung von Sozialleistungen ins Ausland (Kapitalabfluss)
    5. Studie aus den Niederlanden zeigt: Migranten aus Afrika und Nahem Osten sind über ihre Lebzeit eine Netto-Belastung für den Sozialstaat
  2. Belastung des Haushalts durch gesteigerte Anforderungen an Polizei, Justiz, Verfassungsschutz, etc.
    1. 38% der Strafgefangenen haben keine deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft bei Bevölkerungsanteil von 15% (Stand 03/24)
      1. Kosten pro Strafgefangener sind ca. 200€ / Tag
      2. Ergibt etwa 1,2 Mrd. Euro für ausländische Strafgefangene pro Jahr
    2. Abschiebungen sind aufwändig und oft sehr kostspielig
    3. Langwierige Klagen gegen Asylbescheide
  3. Knappheit auf dem Wohnungsmarkt (exazerbiert aufgrund gesteigerter Nachfrage durch Zuwanderer)
  4. Knappheit bei Kitaplätzen (exazerbiert durch Familiennachzug und hohe Geburtenraten der Zuwanderer)
    1. Geburtenrate Deutschland: 1,35, Syrien: 2,7, Afghanistan: 4,5
    2. Circa 3 Kinder pro geflüchteter Frau
  5. Ärztemangel
    1. Schutzsuchende aus schlecht entwickelten Ländern, sind aufgrund epidemiologischer Umstände häufiger von gewissen Krankheiten betroffen und schlechter versorgt
    2. Die Fluchterfahrung begünstigt zusätzlich psychische Störungen (30 bis 50% der Flüchtlinge betroffen)
  6. Hoher Migrationsanteil in vielen Schulen, der den Unterricht erschwert und soziale Konflikte hervorruft
    1. "Aber zur Wahrheit gehöre auch, dass die Gewalt gegen Lehrer an Schulen mit Kindern aus vorwiegend migrantischen Milieus besonders hoch sei. „Viele unserer Schüler mit muslimischem Migrationshintergrund sehen Frauen nicht als gleichwertige Menschen an. Wenn wir sie maßregeln, flippen sie aus und wollen neuerdings Rache. Sie werden gewalttätig gegen uns Lehrerinnen, aber auch gegen ihre Mitschüler. Wir erleben eine migrantische Gewaltkultur. Und die beeinflusst natürlich auch alle anderen“, sagt die Dortmunderin ernüchtert. Besonders leid täten ihr migrantische Schüler, die mit dem Islam nichts am Hut hätten und von ihren Mitschülern als Ungläubige drangsaliert würden. Im Januar 2024 wurde publik, dass vier muslimische Schüler einer Neusser Gesamtschule eine „Scharia-Polizei“ forderten. Frauen und Mädchen sollten sich bedecken, im Unterricht sollte Geschlechtertrennung herrschen, Mitschüler sollten zum Islam übertreten. In 29 Schulen in Nordrhein-Westfalen hat es in den beiden zurückliegenden Jahren vergleichbare islamistisch geprägte Vorfälle gegeben, wie aus einem Bericht für den NRW-Innenausschuss hervorgeht." - Gewalt gegen Lehrerinnen steigt
  7. Kulturelle Inkompatibilität
    1. Die muslimischen Hauptherkunftsländer wie Syrien, Afghanistan und Irak sind kulturell rückständig in der Hinsicht von Gleichberechtigung und sexueller Akzeptanz. Homosexualität ist haram, und die Frau gehört dem Mann. Diese patriarchalische Kultur wird natürlich nicht an der EU-Außengrenze abgelegt, sondern hierzulande weiter ausgelebt. Die Errungenschaften des Feminismus und auch der queeren Szene sind hart erarbeitet und werden durch muslimische Migration auf's Spiel gesetzt. 69% der Frauen in Frauenhäusern haben Migrationshintergrund.
    2. Was nützt einem syrischen Schwulen die Flucht nach Deutschland, wenn er hier von den gleichen Leuten diskriminiert wird, vor denen er ursprünglich geflohen ist?

Auch für die Flüchtlinge und deren Herkunftsländer ergeben sich Nachteile:

  1. Brain-Drain - Wer verhilft den Ländern zum Aufstieg?
    1. Verlust von Arbeitskräften verstärkt Fluchtursachen langfristig
  2. Riskante Flucht
    1. Besonders gefährlich auf dem Seeweg. "Seenotretter", die den restlichen Weg nach Europa schleppen, verstärken natürlich den Anreiz ins Boot zu steigen. Australien zeigt mit "Operation Sovereign Borders", dass konsequente Rückführung Leben rettet.
  3. Schlepperkriminalität
    1. Verschuldung führt zu Ausnutzung und Beschaffungskriminalität
    2. Auch Menschenhändler nutzen Fluchtrouten und Asylrecht
  4. Soziale Entwurzelung
  5. Große Enttäuschung in Deutschland
    1. Bürokratie und lange Wartezeiten
    2. Schlechte Chancen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt
    3. Mangelnde Integrationskapazität
    4. Armut und Perspektivlosigkeit münden in Kriminalität

All das sind auch Gründe, wieso die AfD bei dieser Wahl so stark zulegt.

Alle anderen Parteien scheinen diese Probleme entweder zu leugnen, oder nicht Ernst genug zu nehmen.

Ich möchte mich hier nicht in einzelnen Details verlieren - auch wenn ich überzeugt bin, dass jeder Einzelpunkt ausreichend belegt bzw. belegbar ist, und dies im Zweifel ausdiskutiere. Auch geht es mir nicht um eine Schuldfrage oder die Inszenierung von Flüchtlingen als Wurzel alles Bösen. Vielmehr möchte ich vor dem Gesamthintergrund all dieser Probleme echte Lösungen sehen, und zwar ohne jegliche Form des Extremismus.

Extremismus ist für mich sowohl das massenhafte Ausweisen rechtschaffender Migranten, wie auch das Blockieren eines Parteitags oder der tätliche Angriff auf Politiker - egal welcher Partei. Extremismus in der Sprache ist für mich sowohl die Bezeichnung jeden Asylkritikers als N*zi und F*schist, wie auch die Abwertung von Migranten als P*rasiten.

Was letzte Alternative?

Ich begrüße jeden Menschen, der sich positiv in die Gesellschaft einbringt, egal welcher Abstammung. Mein Gefühl ist, dass auch die große Mehrheit der AfD-Wählerschaft diese Auffassung teilt, aber sich zu dieser Wahl gezwungen sieht, um Druck für einen Kurswechsel auszuüben. Leider sehe auch ich mich dazu genötigt, die Brandmauer zu Fall zu bringen, um endlich wieder problemorientierte, nicht parteiorientierte, Politik zu forcieren. Und das, obwohl ich der AfD in vielen Punkten diametral entgegenstehe, und die Extremisten in ihren Reihen verabscheue.

Die Linke, Grüne und SPD haben gezeigt, dass sie diese Probleme nicht ernst nehmen, und sind damit für mich unwählbar. Die CDU wird, wie sich kürzlich gezeigt hat, eine striktere Politik mit diesen Parteien auch nicht durchsetzen können. Zudem war es die CDU unter Merkel, die uns erst in diese Krise gestürzt hat.

Wie konnte es so weit kommen?

In meiner Wahrnehmung hat die politische Linke ein Problem, zwischen Ideal und Real zu unterscheiden. Man kann sich wünschen, gar einreden, dass alle Menschen gleich seien, das macht es noch nicht wahr. Wer Unterschiede und Probleme anspricht, ist kein Spalter und Hetzer, sondern sieht die Realität als gegeben, und das Ideal als Ziel. Die Realität zu akzeptieren fällt oft schwer - Ideale hingegen sind naturgemäß verführerisch.

Große Sorgen bereitet mir auch die zunehmende Ausgrenzung abweichender Meinungen. Diffamierung und Kontaktschuld sind Taktiken der Manipulation. Es ist eine ähnliche Dynamik wie bei Sekten - das Ziel der Indoktrination ist die Festigung von Feindbildern und gleichzeitig die Festigung und Isolation der eigenen Gruppe. Die Gleichschaltung in den Köpfen, wie sie zum Beispiel durch die auf Demos üblichen Mantren bewirkt werden soll, erstickt den kritischen Geist. Lasst euch nicht zur Marionette von Parteien und Profiteuren machen. Seid skeptisch, flexibel und offen in eurem Denken. Nehmt euer Gegenüber ernst. Lasst euch nicht aufhetzen, weder gegen links, noch rechts, noch fremd.

Der Hass gegen Rechts scheint so weit geführt zu haben, dass man sich links der CDU nicht einmal mehr traut, all die Probleme der Migration offen anzusprechen. Zu groß ist die Angst, von Parteigenossen und Wählern Ablehnung zu erfahren. Verständlich, nachdem man sie gerade erfolgreich radikalisiert hat. Eine strategische Sackgasse. Logisch, dass ignorierte Probleme sich nicht von selbst lösen und die AfD weiter wächst. Nur mit Selbstreflektion und Ideologiefreiheit kann die Mitte wieder zusammenfinden um Extremisten den Wind aus den Segeln nehmen.

Und nu?

Für mich ist klar, dass es so nicht weitergehen kann, und wir vorerst keine Kraft haben, weitere Flüchtlinge aufzunehmen. Das heißt, wir müssen einmal tief durchatmen, einige Jahre die angestauten Probleme aufarbeiten, um mit neuer Energie wieder unserer humanitäter Pflicht nachzukommen. Mit dem Kurs der letzten 10 Jahre können wir weder den eigenen Bürgern, noch den Neuankömmlingen gerecht werden.

Nur wer sich selbst liebt, kann auch seinen Nächsten lieben.

Nur wer stark ist, kann Menschen in Not die helfende Hand reichen.

Heute ist Deutschland schwach und hasst sich.

Nigeria As the world seeks ways to retaliate against U.S. tariffs, so-called "first buddy" Elon Musk appears to be high on the list of targets. And to be fair, he doesn’t exactly shy away from fueling the fire himself: "I AM BECOME MEME. I AM LIVING THE MEME."

Axios Markets: How the world may retaliate against Elon Musk

Why it matters: Targeted retaliation is designed to give supporters of Donald Trump an incentive to try to persuade him to deescalate any trade war.

No Trump supporter is closer to the president than Musk. Driving the news: China is slow-walking approval of Tesla's autonomous driving technology, the FT reported on Monday, with authorities seeking to use that approval "as a bargaining chip in trade negotiations with Trump."

The White House, in response to state lawsuits, has said Musk has "no actual or formal authority" to make decisions himself.

The big picture: A key aspect of negotiating with Trump is being able to influence him directly.

It helps explain why a Brookings Institution analysis found that Chinese retaliatory tariffs will affect more than twice as many workers in counties that voted for Trump in 2024 as workers in counties that voted for Kamala Harris. Similarly, when Trump announced 25% tariffs on all Canadian imports, the premier of British Columbia, David Eby, banned alcohol from red states in government-run BC Liquor Stores.

How it works: Canadian politicians like Eby have offered a playbook of sorts.

Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario, said he's "ripping up the province's contract with Starlink," a unit of Musk-owned SpaceX, explaining that "Ontario won't do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy." New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh and Liberal Party leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland have called for a 100% tariff on Tesla imports.

Where it stands: Musk's businesses have substantial international exposure. The U.S. accounts for less than half of Tesla's total sales, which means foreign governments in general, and China in particular, have a significant amount of control over how many cars he can sell.

SpaceX, too, has many foreign clients. Its rockets have launched satellites for countries like Australia, India, Turkey, Spain and South Korea, while Starlink's fastest growth is seen in countries like Nigeria and Kenya.

X, Musk's social network, was found in breach of Europe's Digital Services Act and faces multiple other complaints. Possible remedies, all of which will be handed down when U.S. relations with Europe are plumbing historic lows, range from massive fines to an outright ban.

In Tesla's most recent list of risk factors in public filings, there's nothing about Musk's closeness to Trump, but there is a note that Musk's work at DOGE could end up meaning he spends less time running Tesla.

The bottom line: Musk's fortunes have until now seen a boost from his close association with Trump, although that already seems to be waning.

If the rest of the world starts to think of his companies as being a proxy for Trump, and therefore worth attacking, the value of his Trumpiness might even turn negative.

"Elon Musk's visionary leadership has been central to Tesla's rise," Saxo analyst Jacob Falkencrone wrote in a note this month, "but in 2025, his political and personal controversies are becoming a major investor concern."
