Even though I didn't want to, today I had to swallow the red pill. Not the one that conspiracy theorists and other lunatics like to hand out, but simply the one that is used in the Matrix trilogy.
As early as 1801 Heinrich von Kleist, who is probably a little better known in Heilbronn, said the following: “If all people had green glasses instead of eyes, they would have to judge that the objects they see through them are green... That is how it is with the intellect. We cannot decide whether what we call truth is really truth, or whether it only seems so to us."
But even if there is one truth and certainly not the truth and, if there is, it is known only to God, today at least my eyes were opened, and not just mine.
And now we're back to The Matrix, although Neo probably didn't feel well after taking the pill. But reality is ultimately cruel, especially for those who have never wanted to look it in the eye!
But now back again — a completely different issue (!) — to the “sleeper sheep” that the conspiracy theorists like to cite so much, because they actually take the blue pill and vote for the AfD (which also fits quite well here) and recently even the BSW.
“The love that moves the sun and the stars!”

It is astonishing that a party with a "personality cult" has received so much support straight away. Will Saxony and Thuringia now be governed from the Saarland home office?
I'm almost interested to know where Wagenknecht actually resides, probably in Berlin. Lafontaine is just one vehicle among many.
I consider it more like an experimental project by completely crazy fourth-semester psychology and sociology students that has since taken on a life of its own.
