    About this ebook

    Since we are in a time of upheaval, events keep occurring that give us something to think about. I try to see some of these tendencies from a different perspective. I will of course leave it up to you whether this also applies to your views, without wanting to influence them.

      Foreword

      Far be it from me to attack anyone here or to judge anyone. Rather, it is my view of things, as I interpret it below. It may well be that one or the other thinks that this would be a radical view of things. But sometimes it seems to me that you bury your head in the sand. Not reacting, will solve itself. I believe this thread runs through the entire body of writing. As I said, this is not paternalism of anyone, but my opinion on various things at home and abroad.

      Climate adhesives receive salary for actions

      As one can see from a German daily newspaper, the protests, such as the soiling of art and sticking on the street, are sponsored by an American find. This means that young people are paid for their actions with a salary and social security contributions. This is handled by a German association. What one wants to achieve with this is very questionable. But since this financing comes from the USA, one wonders what the purpose of it is. What culture looks like in this state could already be seen in January 2021 with the storming of the Capitol. It is only to be seen again and again that the European Union allows itself to be led by this country. The background is already correct, in that something should be done about climate change, but such means are not necessarily effective. In America, one should pay much more attention to environmental pollution before financially supporting these actions, even if its president wants to invest an enormous amount of money against climate change. In my opinion, such disruptive actions are extremely questionable as far as the objective is concerned and should be punished rigorously, and not with a few hundred euros. This is about our identity, which we have painstakingly acquired over centuries and which are destroyed by such actions.

      Corona import from China

      If you plan to check the wastewater from airplanes for corona infections in individual states, you can only agree with this approach. Finally, almost one in five people in this country is infected with this virus. But, as is always the case, there is once again chaos as far as agreement on such measures is concerned. We will have the virus all over the world again due to the rising numbers, only through such controls could the increase be contained somewhat. The only thing that is incomprehensible is the reaction on the part of China, which threatens to take countermeasures. It should also be in their interest to control this pandemic and not to respond to it with immediate reactions, but perhaps it is also due to the fact that the past restrictions had actually only achieved negative aspects.

      Young people rioting against the state

      How can it be that more and more young people are taking to the barricades against the state and its legal forms and democracy? It's true that we in the Western world live in countries where you can express your opinion openly, but the whole thing should also be within the realm of the rule of law. Attacks are being made on emergency services, works of art are being destroyed and the judiciary is watching. Have you once again overslept something in politics or the judiciary, or do you want to watch these excesses even longer. It is true that young people are showing us what is going wrong, but this should be within the legal framework. However, since the countermeasures are inadequate, with penalties that are too low, one should react to such tendencies of violence. If one also hears that a large part of the rioters have a migration background, migrants and refugees should also be discussed in this context. It is simply unacceptable that such people come to us and then wantonly damage our infrastructure and thus try to undermine the value of a democracy. For example, there are asylum seekers in our country who have already committed crimes and live from the country where they are staying and are not deported. Do we, as the Western world, have to put up with this?

      Republicans and their democracy

      North America praises itself as the greatest democracy and votes are held there like in a dictatorship. It was only after the 15th time that a speaker for the House of Representatives could be found. One wonders how far the influence of the former president still is. But as can be observed around the world, the form of government of democracy is no longer obsolete. It is much more meant by some people that only they hold the absolute truth and try to rigorously enforce these points of view, regardless of whether the sovereign has decided otherwise or not. Is that democracy then? Above all, it should be noted that such methods
