Forums

After a long walk, I could see that my forums are still splashing along. I was very happy that John Marsia today replied to a forum post from August 2022 has. Unlike social media, forums tend to be less fussy, and I remain convinced that this is the better way.

John Marsia not only hopes for reactions from the readers from his post, but also for the approval of the EUROPA-UNION Heilbronn for his manifesto published there. And I'm curious to see what our members think of this manifesto and whether there will also be comments in the forum. As already written, this can take a few months to come.

climate glue

It still amazes me how the “last generation” came up with the idea of ​​sticking themselves everywhere. But now I think I'm on to the solution, because it's becoming more and more common and becoming more and more obvious how our professional politicians glue themselves to their chairs - the more lucrative the post, the stronger the glue used.

Our losers in the election in particular manage to remain in office, in the worst case they will now be very topical Frances Giffey no longer governing mayor, but only deputy — and we can assume that she will be royally compensated for this flaw.

But let's not scold the Berliners now, we in Baden-Württemberg have now declared gluing to be a raison d'etat, which incidentally suggests that we all only take over the bad things from others.

But if you want to grumble about “big politics” right away, first take a look at our communities, where mayors, whether legally elected or not, (may) stay in office at least until the coming elections are due again. And should everything really go wrong, they claim burnout and stay in office - without having to go to the town hall.

That's why I continue to look at the climate stickers with great astonishment, but I see the real excitement in our political stickers. And it wouldn't surprise me anymore if both adhesive circles belong to the snoops, which could then explain a lot.

Rundschreiben

And again it was time for my monthly newsletters. I've been sending the circular to the Freie Wahler a little longer and as requested as an e-mail to the Heilbronn members. It contains almost exclusively club internals and event information.

The circular of the EUROPA-UNION Heilbronn, which my readers can also be found here, is also written primarily for the members of the association, but also serves as information for other interested parties. This circular is written and distributed using appropriate software. And in contrast to the Free Voters circular, all Internet users can subscribe to and unsubscribe from the EUROPA-UNION circular. This is the great advantage of such a newsletter software.

It is interesting for me to find out how many subscribers take note of the newsletter - whether they actually read it remains a secret. Over the years I have also noticed that even circulars are attracting less and less interest from readers. And so, as the author, I only have the certainty and reassurance that the members and other interested parties could have used the information provided. Whether or not they do it is up to you.

The less functional sense the social division of labor has, the more stubbornly subjects cling to what social fatality has destined them to do. Alienation becomes closeness, dehumanization becomes humanity, the obliteration of the subject confirms it. The socialization of people today perpetuates their asociality, while even the asocial cannot flatter themselves that they are human.”
