when people last in theirs
have sex then they do not know
that they have sex the last time and
now i come to politics
and it is with free elections
the same is a thought of timothy
Snyder a historian from the USA
and I think you can apply well
the election tomorrow takes place
Bundestag election where you if German
is a citizen and old enough that
Bundestag can vote in free
same general and so on
democratic elections
yes and I am also German
citizen i am also old enough and
to be able to do that
It is not my first time tomorrow and
I admit it has come to me
a bit the feeling of habit
crept
You do it that way you choose that
Bundestag in Democratic elections
and i believe that feeling of
fatal because we can not be sure
be that it goes on forever because
democracy is really not
naturalness
I want to show you that with one
look into the past with the look
on the world today and well one
outlook into the future and let’s start
in the past and begin to
the place where we are today
Here, 2000 years ago, Roman
Roman soldiers the trade routes of the
Guarded Roman Empire then was here
A tragedy in the Empire before about
100 years and after the second
world war have here in this hall
American soldiers repaired armor
American soldiers after the second
world war in stuttgart that knows
hang two things
one is german democracy
history and the history of
democracy is not one another
harmonic process where you look
At some point , hey let us
Democrats will be that and there
It ‘s so easy to walk but
these were full of processes
Setbacks and millions
dead ones too and the end of the second
world war that is based on the long
history of humanity very shortly ago
that means a successful one
democracy history is something completely new
Of course you can say that right now
I have rheumatoid yes mentions the romans
but also in the republic and the
greeks also had democracy in
their cities in ancient times that is
right but these democracies have
works on system of slavery
and on the consistent exclusion of
women from the political sphere and the
is another understanding of
democracy as we know it today
we have the promise today
Democracies of individual freedom
we live in some form of solidarity
We like them in the example
know unemployment insurance and we
yes have protection against state arbitrariness
and the protection of minority rights
in our society and we look
Today tonight on the world then
I have a strange situation because
the ruling almost every state
Of course we would say our state is
a democracy
almost every state would do that
claim
but there you have to say that so hard
We are here tonight in a yes
peaceful atmosphere with each other
talking can learn something from each other
There are thousands upon thousands of people
people who are following for the moment
tortured and killed
in companies that belong to theirs
the democratic freedom rights are not
those who want to grant the promise
also do not want to win
that means democracy is also on the
no world today
of course more than that
half of the world’s population
excluded from democratic
rights of democratic promise
and we look specifically into the future
I can not say where the future
but I can safely say that
democracy continues
challenges and always will
is attacked again and it is a
problem of education and upbringing in the
general and political education
for which I stand in particular that
we already give people something today
have to
for a future we are not exactly
but i want to know me now
give three things with which I think
that people can use the
continue to develop in future Democrat
justify and defend new
want
The first is tolerance tolerance is for
me yes the foundation democratic
living together tolerant means that
one differentiates
recognizes that people the
are different and moral
legally equated to that one
diversity and that you learn
that different identities no
pose a threat
i live in stuttgart i am not
Schwabe I do not believe that I have
swabian identities by
threaten and vice versa
I hope so, and vice versa
not so i do not feel threatened
the swabian identities and if
you think about it like tolerance
can develop how to convey this
You can always come across at some point
problem
how to deal with people’s tolerance
to claim that they themselves in
tolerant how do you meet people
that’s just the problem the solution
it is still a paradox man
comes sometime to the point that the
would have to be tolerant of people
be the city center are so tolerance
want to abolish
the solution is once again bordering on
Tolerance develop limits of tolerance
means, for example, there are from the
state area or in law
abound the insults in germany
are forbidden
this restricts the freedom of opinion
but it protects the freedom and
equality to the people
that is actually fixed but
Then there is the area that is
rather soft and dynamic that is the
political culture where we as
society always new
discuss need to re-agree
must be tolerable and what is not
tolerable is the topic we take
racism i would like that one
racism recognizes though and also recognizes
but it explains
not as equivalent position in
a democratic discourse too
involves and at a height with
others with a democratic position
provides
so far the problem is as good as we are
into the political space
if that does not simply carry on as
at the pizza service we face ours
wish together and then it will
comfortably delivered to your home but we
have to bring a second competence
the capacity for conflict and ours
society is pervaded by
Conflicts in the area of economics
geography culture religion skin color
sex and so on we are all
we are all of us here in part
Sometimes we know that
sometimes that is not
but we can be aware of these conflicts
in the dissolve we can but in the
develop democracy procedures in those
we can handle these conflicts
and on one side I think we have
it’s good we are human we are in the
able to talk to each other
solve conflicts peacefully
that’s not optimistic though
On the other side, I am also something
pessimistic because I believe that we
in our society are too
unlearn how to conflict politically
now really has to solve completely
this is also pessimistic
our behavior because we are mostly in
social media gets used to it
have that we are still social
organize interests
eat vegetarian to vegetarian meat
Meat is a car driver to
car driver cyclist too
Cyclist in apparent conflict
Adjusted groups in which we do not
it is used to resisting
meets
and if there is a contradiction
then you are surprised or too
outraged because it might not
how to handle it
and my solution is that you in the
real world intentionally in
Situations goes where you know you
others meet others
are political opinion as oneself
that can be for example the birthday in
be the family
it can also be the ted talk that works
But you have to do that on purpose
yes and then you are in such a
situation where you really want to go
How does one deal with this conflict?
what do you do then i can get out of mine
professional practice of political education 123
give hints the first one is to hear
listen to what people have to say
and make sure he does too
has understood what to say to her
example do you really want that
all bike paths on roads
the traffic will disappear better
I understood that correctly
or especially if you have the
where you do not eat so much yourself
But he suspected that the
We may have told
one might ask something like against
ask where did you get the how to get
what is the basis of what
you do or what you said because
then one gives the argumentation duty
back at the opposite and
if that argument of opposite
not so good then you will be so
remember quickly and ask questions
also allowed to find out who
behind, for example, an advantage
has increased needs has na
yes and then there is still and that must
really also recommend considering you
the exit strategies are some things
just impossible to reach in
conversations in conflict talks man
nobody will be the most convinced me
attack the topic again is racist
within three minutes of the opposite
convince that will not work
you may save the forces
makes bad statement for example
I imagine a society
by not being in the resin together
but avoid the forces they are
important for other political
dispute about the tolerance of
Contagiousness still comes
vigilance alertness had such a
everyday meaning of one must also
be careful and yes I can find you
must watch out for democracy and im
range of alertness but first
clarify where you actually go to his
alertness
comes the threat from the outside or from
inside and I think you look in the
history and shadow today on the
world, you have to say the threat is coming
from within, the threat to democracy
comes from within
methods and mechanisms which
are served again and again
Similarly, one says the country in which one
lives that is to blame on the edge of the abyss
that’s what the elected representatives are for
and representative of the elites and guilty
the free press and on the other hand
then let’s set a world fortune off
propaganda and incitement
Minorities and you are at power
trying to freedom of press
curtail the rights of minorities
to prune and the right of
democratic institutions too
trimming
that is happening in the world today
and vigilance also has one
element that we openly watch ourselves
you could do that again now
I believe several ted talks about it
keep what is meant by that
a thing will rip out that we
take care that we are in the political
Space in a position are facts of
To separate ratings I mean that
an example a few weeks ago
has a large opinion poll institute
made a survey
in germany how satisfied are you then
is with the work of women politicians
and has politicians from this survey
news portal made an article
and then overwritten with the
heading schulz unpopular like never before
That was the morning in the afternoon
the same article overwritten with
Merkel loses 10 percentage points
editorial has made that transparent
explained why she did that
that you have something in the article
other emphasis has been given but that
is a case where the data is the same
remained but the frame at the
schulz or merkel is offered
are just a difference whether you are
then take this information too
was different and it’s important that we
as a society in times of
facebook and twitter now has to be completely
old-fashioned will insist on it
really insist that it’s something
like truth and verifiable facts
there and if you are tolerant
conflicting and alert tomorrow if
you have the right to vote then go
Maybe you think that could be yours
be last time
but it does not have to be the last
