Last week, the German comedian @janboehm talked about German and Austrian weapons manufacturers making big money in the US. Some stats: In half of the US school and university shootings of the last 20 years, at least one of the weapons used were either made in Germany or made by our Austrian neighbors.

@FrailLeaf His sexuality does not make Mr. Thiel better or worse.

Fact is, however, that Peter Thiel uses his immense wealth to influence Media and Politics. That's why you should have a look at him.

@VCDeV Bitte nicht nur den Fernverkehr europäisieren! IMHO gehört der Schienenverkehr als ganzes europäisiert. Ich wohne nahe der Grenze (DE - AT). Wenn mein Zug aus DE in AT ankommt, darf ich noch eine Ewigkeit auf den Anschlusszug warten. Bei innerdeutschen Zügen passiert mir das deutlich seltener.

I don't know who needs to see this but this is my all time favourite photo of my cat.

@zdfmagazin I can still recommend the show, though. It shows the influence of German weapons manfuacturers in the US. Just some stats: In half of the school and university shootings of the last 20 years in the USA, a German / Austrian weapon was used or at least planned to use.

@dominik Ich glaube die meisten ECs sind schöner als die Kisten der DB-ÖBB-Kooperation.

@FrailLeaf Another man who you should look into is Peter Thiel, Co-Founder of Paypal, founder of Palantir and Clarium Capital and one of the first investors of Facebook as well as many other companies.

@FrailLeaf @EU_Commission The identity of their investors is difficult to find out, as they use complicated nets of companies and NGOs and whatever to stay in the shadow. However, thanks to some journalists, we have at least some knowledge. Part of the money comes from the profits of Big Oil, the weapons industry or the chemical industry. One notable example would be the Koch Family who own the second largest privately owned company in the US with a revenue of 120 B $ in 2021.

@IsraelDelendaEst
@FrailLeaf @EU_Commission Just No! However, I do know who is subverting governing bodies and controlling accepted discourse: Right wing organizations invest millions each year in exactly that. See e.g. here: prwatch.org/news/2020/01/13531

@bmdv 100 Millionen sind ein guter Anfang, aber da geht noch mehr! Nicht nur mehr Geld, auch eine bessere Gesetzeslage für die (Öffis, Fahrradfahrer, Fußgänger) wäre wünschenswert. Es wäre auch wünschenswert, wenn diese Gesetze dazu führen, dass die Umsetzung vergrünung des Verkehrs unbürokratisch und flexibel von Statten gehen kann.

@DIMR_Berlin Wie genau sollten denn die Kinderrechte (zumindest nimm ich an dass es in diesem Fall um Art. 23 und 28 UNCRC geht) eigentlich eurer Ansicht nach integriert werden, um das Recht auf Inklusion von behinderten Kindern und all die anderen Kinderrechte gut durchsetzen zu können.

@bsi es braucht zwingend quelloffene Standards und freie Implementierungen davon. Am besten durch die öffentliche Hand, unterstützt von der Community
