@davep @ahltorp @jtb Typically, I'd agree. But these accounts are some of the highest politicians in Germany. I don't believe it's unreasonable to hold them to higher standards than the average user. They handle confidential stuff. Their decisions and actions concern tens of millions of people.

@claudius @davep @ahltorp @jtb They handle confidential stuff irresponsibly. Or maybe they were just drunk? That's how Whisky Pete Hegseth does it.

@claudius why should technical skills like that be a requirement for people to have something to say in politics? The stakes are too high as they are now, you need to have rhetoric skills, a mindset to make it to the top and a bunch of other privileges. We shouldn't individualize everything, it's a structural problem and there should be structural measures in place to prevent politicians from making those mistakes. It's a government we're talking about, they have the resources. @davep @ahltorp @jtb

@claudius You seem to be from Germany, so you are joking. Right? @davep @ahltorp @jtb
