Climate policies in Germany by Kai Neumann

the green party in Germany has become quite popular with its concrete action (not enough I would say, but nevermind). now the opposition but also the coalition partners have started a populist's war of wrong memes to diminish the success. this model shows the factual problems: - to call for e-fuels is a classic shifting the burden (https://www.know-why.net/model/C1kJRE4Z6_4plDyg7AWl8iw) - to call for market forces is good, yet there is the psychological obstacle that people want no change and that they d...

Right wing extremism - rise and fall by Kai Neumann

Fareed Zakaria argues that right wing terrorism is related to something else but lack of income. He refers to this study that states it is the correlation between migration and increase of right wing violence: https://academic.oup.com/jogss/article/5/1/179/5487267  With this model I started to wonder whether this is plausible to me. I'd say the underlying cause could still be lack of perspective but also the feeling of an attack of one's values as well as the feeling of lack of education. What do you thi...

Media, please stop reporting on (Berlin) terror and blaming the authorities by Kai Neumann

Schiller is said to have said that a comedy is working because unconsciously ordinary people are relieved to feel that other people are more stupid.
