Die oberlehrerhafte belehrende Art von #Merz wurde vom #Guardian als #Merzsplaining benannt 🤔

Siehe: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Diese Art zu regieren, kommt bei der #Gesellschaft gar nicht gut an und Merz ist unbeliebt wie noch kein #Bundeskanzler vor ihm. Ich meine auch beobachten zu können, dass es rund um Merz einsam geworden ist. Klar seine Partei steht hinter ihm, weil sie es so gewohnt sind. Allerdings glauben wohl nur sehr wenige, dass Merz eine weitere #Amtszeit haben wird.

Merzsplaining: the chancellor’s overconfidence is unpopular in Germany. But could it be what Europe needs?

Unlike his predecessors, Friedrich Merz projects certainty, even when he’s wrong. Now he must turn words into a deliverable plan, says Foreign Policy Research Institute fellow Joseph de Weck

From @joannechocolat

Lucy Eldine Gonzalez Parsons (c. 1853 – March 7, 1942) was an American labour organizer, feminist and radical socialist. She is remembered as a powerful orator.

Personal note: Her early days are difficult to pin down. It is believed she was born into slavery, although she said she was born to Mexican & Native American parents.

She led the first May Day parade in #Chicago in 1886, and also unionized the city’s only female workers organization at the time, Working Women’s #Union No. 1 (WWU).

She was feared & revered for her ability to organise, and in the words of the Chicago police she was “more dangerous than a thousand rioters.”
