Wolfgang Streeck

And mostly apartments that aren't necessarily suited to the needs of the ordinary people.

There's a sort of a negation there almost where Wolfgang Streeck had this great essay about the Greek debt crisis where if we go back 10 years, you know, there was all that mainstream coverage accusing Greeks of being lazy and corrupt and all of that kind of thing as an argument as to why their debt shouldn't be forgiven.

Wolfgang Streeck said something along the lines of that these Greeks are being asked to forego their provincial parochial corruption for corruption a la Goldman Sachs.

And all of what you're describing there and even, you know, you had said about the thing about building standards, which has its implications.

you know, it's kind of mirror image today is with our international, our internationally influenced yimbies who want all of our regulations torn up for the benefit of big developers like Kennedy Wilson and all the rest.

Very briefly.

First of all, I mean, I believe since, I'm not entirely sure, between 2016 and now or between 2020 and now, 60 scientists less professors have been sacked from German universities.

I can't really verify the exact numbers, but it's a high number.

So you're definitely not an exception.

Obviously, and that is very important to underscore, it's not only about me.

There is a study and we will hopefully also link it under the video.

by Heike Egner and Anke Uhlenwinkel, two sociologues, who did an empirical study that points to 60 cases in Germany of removals from universities, professors from universities, under what we call fadenscheinige Gründe, pretexts.

And where you can point to the fact that the reason for dismissal is was a pretext for ideological deviation, for not solid in the values, you know, that is the formulation, ideological deviation, yeah, so.
