The story of the liberal constitutional state
No, Mr. Prantl, it is not that simple: Bill, Bush and Barack have already made the content of the old story more enthusiastic. It is no longer enough to tell the story of rags, who rose to become a millionaire. People believed that for twenty years and then, with incredulous surprise, realized that the coastal regions were celebrating while the country was starving. Real wages fall and the political class tells of the liberal rule of law. Black citizens are shot on a massive scale and many white citizens live in need of existence. They experience that liberalism and state-owned democracy is only something for the upper middle class without practical utility for them.
And that you have to put up with such a liar and cheat as president is an additional humiliation. But it is worth it to them that he tears up the ideological cocoon.
Not only to alleviate the fear of relegation, but to actually prevent the descent, helps against legal-ratchet Pied Piper.
Politicians shouldn't “tell” anything. To ask for a new or different "narrative" is nonsense, the problems should just be straight to the point and done. “Stories” don't work if they quickly turn out to be fairy tales ... and nobody wants to hear them when it comes to serious problems.
“I believe that our language is no longer understood. Politicians are afraid to call things by their names. She speaks a dead language. "
Manuel Valls
Sorry, but I can no longer see and read posts and comments by Mr. Prantl of SZ.
Especially his texts on the current refugee crisis seem to me completely unworldly!
His in my opinion completely undifferentiated opinion made me unsubscribe Süddeutsche Zeitung after 45 years reference.
If a journalist demands more enthusiasm for democracy in the face of the refugee crisis, I really have trouble following him.
