„Meritokratie“ ist meiner Meinung nach immer Augenwischerei. Eliten sind grundsätzlich abzulehnen, egal wie sie sich rekrutieren. Wir müssen uns nur mal das Silicon Valley anschauen. Dort herrscht ein meritokratischer Anspruch durch Technologie die Welt zu verbessern. Letzten Endes landen wir dann aber doch bei Profit, Gier und dem industriell-militärischen Komplex.

Can we please stop speaking of „development“ when some billionaires start throwing money at a natural habitat that should be protected. Instead it will now become some kind of uber rich disney land.
Der absurde Meritokratie-Glaube ist in Deutschland echt noch sehr tief verwurzelt. Schlimm!

Just to add to it: This is by no means my own opinion. It just shows the conservative playbook.

It’s the on going debate in German politics and media. Now-chancellor Merz focused his whole campaign in 2024 around „no debt“ (Schuldenbremse, schwarze Null). The first thing he does after becoming chancellor in 2025 is a 500 billion euro package (because of Ukraine, which is fair — but was completely against the campaign proposal) only for defence and infrastructure. In turn the coalition now argues that they cannot maintain „Bürgergeld“ (social welfare) or invest into education. People have to „work more“ because of the debt.
There is no need to cut welfare spending for the sake of defense. Europe can afford both, and must. Once again, Mr. Sanchez doesn't appear to talk for his country and Europe but rather pursuing interests of others.
Well, in Germany the story is told the other way around: Now that we are investing in more defence, we have to cut social welfare.
I guess it is part of repairability class.

Words form realities. We have to start spelling out what is wrong and what is right. The press is called the forth power for a reason!
It is wrong to sell this island to the Trumps. It is wrong to build a rich people disney land.
This island should be a protected area. A natural habitat.
