Selbstverständnis statt Wunschdenken

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I want an open, humane Europe.

It should again be more about the people and not just talk loudly about economic crises and political misconduct. People should stand together and be cosmopolitan and helpful. No one should be afraid of political decisions. Everyone should pull together. Those who make the policy should be honest. In Dtl, for example, the reintroduction of the property tax could flush a large batch of money into the coffers. Those who already have a lot of assets should pay this tax, the money could be used to rehabilitate schools.

The climate problem should be made understandable for everyone and all possibilities should be discussed openly here as well. It is our nature of the world that we need to live. The trees clean our air - don't let it grow fast. They also cool our earth and provide shade. We should not continue to destroy nature, but also give it something back.

We should move away from fossil fuels, because once they are exhausted, important time for research on renewable energies is lost. Perhaps by 2040 we are already completely away from non-renewable energies. My hope is small, because there are only 15 years left.

I hope that all children have the same opportunities, no matter what social class they come from. They are our future and have a right to live in a healthy world.

All together in peace
There is an artificial protective shell in the atmosphere, high above the earth. This protects living creatures from harmful conditions and keeps the climate at a constant 22 degrees Celsius. Movement is ensured by magnetic levitation trains and vehicles. Cars and motorcycles no longer exist. Everywhere there are vertical gardens that feed people. Farm animals no longer exist either. Most people work in research or in the gardens. All payment transactions are digital. People live in communities that correspond to their interests, i.e. family communities, sports communities, and a lot of value is placed on social interaction. I imagine a peaceful world without wars and without class differences. What counts is us, togetherness and life.

Bessere Welt
I hope that there will be no more wars and that all people can live together in peace. I wish for the environment to be better protected and for there to be no more pollution. I wish for animal welfare so that endangered species do not become extinct.

Sicherheit durch Überwachung
The personal security of every individual, be it physical or property security, is very important to me. That is why I would curtail the rights of every individual citizen and create a comprehensive database in which DNA and an encrypted numerical code would be stored immediately after birth. In the event of a crime, this database could be used to determine who was at the scene of the crime on the basis of items found (hair, blood.....). Even if data protectionists would be up in arms about it, such an anonymous and encrypted database would certainly be a major deterrent for potential criminals. For me personally, even a chip that everyone gets implanted would be a conceivable way of determining who was at the scene of the crime at the time. DNA samples can still be used to deny the time of the crime. Many, many crimes such as murder, assaults, burglaries and hit-and-runs could easily be solved. On the other hand, it can also be used to prove that a suspect is not guilty and convictions based on false "witness statements" or accusations could be refuted very easily. I am not a friend of surveillance, but if it serves security and is encrypted, then I am all for it.

There is no war in Europe. To this end, governments, with the support of the people, have taken the necessary decisions to ensure security and punish aggressors. These decisions have been enforced. On crucial issues for the EU, it is not consensus that is needed, but the support of a majority of member states. The cultures and customs of indigenous peoples are respected. These are legally protected and enforced. Along with security, family and children are recognised as areas of national importance. All national decisions are taken in the light of their impact on security and families, and subsequently on the wider economy and environment. Reducing regulations and state subsidies in the economy. We are moving towards a situation in which regulation must be justified only by exceptional need, and public subsidies are only available in the social sphere (emergency aid, welfare, etc.), education and culture. No tax will be levied on donations and activities that are voluntary. Europe has taken the initiative to develop a new organisation to replace the UN, bringing together the countries of the world and working on a predominantly voluntary basis. This organisation will also have its own enforcement mechanism. The nations of Europe will lead by example, first and foremost through their actions; the time for talk is over.
