#35 Supervised ranting
You can - and sometimes even have to - SHOUT and RANT about politics. However, in times when democracy is coming under increasing pressure, this is sometimes difficult - whether due to anti-democratic tendencies, a global pandemic or even nearby wars. After all, you don't want to do the same as lateral thinkers, believers in conspiracies or other forces that lack solidarity.
We therefore propose a format that we have given the nice title "supervised ranting". In such a, possibly regular, discourse format, everyone can vent their outrage and at the same time trust that a referee will make sure that no refuted factual claims are left uncommented in the room. Shares of the conversation are distributed fairly and substantive criticism is distinguished from superficial criticism. Only on this basis can we talk about what needs to change and, above all, how.
