Demokratie war in den Vereinigten Staaten nie ein geradliniges Erfolgsmodell. Das Gespräch mit Hiram Kümper erinnert daran, dass die Geschichte der USA immer auch eine Geschichte des Umgangs mit Spaltung, Krisen und demokratischer Erneuerung ist – mit wichtigen Impulsen für die Gegenwart.

Zum 250. Geburtstag der USA lohnt ein Blick hinter den Mythos des 4. Juli: Die Unabhängigkeit wurde früher beschlossen, später unterschrieben und ein Basler Publizist spielte bei ihrer deutschen Verbreitung eine Rolle.

The US will beat England in the final of the WC. “They” have scripted this outcome for over a decade.

Everything’s a scam and always has been.

Thousands of attendees at Trump's Freedom 250 celebration on the National Mall were directed to take refuge in the National Museum of African American History and Culture as severe thunderstorms rolled through Washington, D.C.

"Oltre 231 anni di guerra su complessivi 250 di esistenza, raccontano bene cosa siano gli USA. Il bilancio surclassa qualunque altro impero in qualunque altra epoca: più di 30 milioni di morti accertati in tutto il mondo dovuti alle sue politiche imperiali dal 1945 ad oggi."

Veramente da leggere tutto

(I normally post something more critical of the American Revolution on July 4th, but on the semiquincentennial I thought that would be churlish.)

#USA250

Contrary to what some claim, I would say: the more and more solidifying common European identity consists essentially of trying not (!) to be (like) the #USA.

In #TheGuardian, Francine Prose repeats the #BigLie of #USA as incomplete & flawed "#democracy". https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jul/02/us-anniversary-250

Both adjectives distract. The lie is the noun "democracy".

The USA is a republic, a non-monarchy. But its constitution was explicitly designed to prevent democracy.

Colonisers & slavers designed an empire. Genocide of natives, slavery of Africans. They wrapped it in a Big Lie of "freedom".

#MAGA & liberals tell opposing stories of #USA250. Both tales are big lies.
