TIL that winning important international football games reduces civil conflict in Africa. When national teams win high-stakes matches, people are less likely to identify with their ethnic group over the nation.

2022 - sum of worldwide military expenditure: 2 240 000 000 000 (!!) dollars (source). Theoretically, with this astronomical sum, all weapons worldwide could be scrapped and destroyed and all people working in the war industry could be paid for the rest of their lives.

Since 2016 the Yenish are officialy recognised as a legal minority in Switzerland. It was a long and horrible way. https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss-traveller-groups-want-official-acknowledgement-of--cultural-genocide-/49148054

Noch einmal zur Erinnerung: Die Idee, eingebürgerten Deutschen die Staatsbürgerschaft wieder zu entziehen, um sie dann abschieben zu können, wurde nicht von der AfD auf ihrem Geheimtreffen ausgedacht, sondern vor Kurzem von CDU-Chef Merz öffentlich vorgeschlagen und überwiegend positiv aufgenommen. Der deutsche politische Mainstream ist, was Migration angeht, in den letzten Jahren schon so extrem nach rechts gewandert, dass es für die AfD eine ziemlich schwierige Aufgabe geworden ist, Forderungen zu formulieren, die noch härter, krasser und unmenschlicher sind als der menschenverachtende Müll, der nicht nur in der CDU, sondern auch bei
"Wir müssen endlich in großem Stil abschieben"-Scholz Alltag geworden ist.
AfD einerseits, CDUSPDFDP andererseits schaukeln sich dabei gegenseitig immer weiter hoch.

Swiss Song of the Day🇨🇭💪🏽: Gimma is Swiss rap's Enfant Terrible. Often funny, but also highly controversial and emotional lyrics lead to a short career in Swiss mainstream music where he was dragged to the spotlight of tv talkshows almost 2 decades ago. Furthermore, he was a protagonist in one of the first Swiss beefs when he and street rapper Griot (aka Mory) dissed each other. This is a don't-give-up-song for people with suicidal tendencies: https://open.spotify.com/track/33UCR8YUco4V9zXHOH1Had?si=z7m4BAIlQA2Z9lz80j4c0Q
