#OeRR So geht #Desinformation und letztlich Hetze gegen #Armutsbetroffene!
Das #SGBII hat seit 2005 gewaltig etwas verschoben & das #Buergergeld macht nicht einmal geschätzte 5% davon rückgängig!

Genau diese Falschaussagen sind logisches Resultat, da der #Journalismus in #Deutschland seit 2005 es mehrheitlich nicht fertig gebracht hat, statt mit Buzzwords wie "HartzIV" zu arbeiten, die zugrunde liegende "#Sozialgesetzgebung" kritisch und historisch zu kontextualisieren.
Stattdessen wurde im #Habitus einer vermeintlichen Aufklärung ueber die soziooekonomischen Entwicklungen in #Deutschland permanent das diffamierende #Framing hinter "#HartzIV" wieder & wieder reproduziert!

There is a growing awareness that these portrayals uphold - rather than counteract - historical, deeply colonial, and continually politicized notions of “the other.”

1. I was curious to understand why the GOK PAYBILL has backfired. No one is moved by their appeal but on the other hand we have active citizens like @TeamPankaj, @JerotichSeii, @WanjeriNderu and others, getting support from Kenyans all over the world.

2. Reason one: The people we have entrusted with running this country are ALL THIEVES. We know without a doubt that if we contribute to their PAYBILL they will steal that money just the way they have robbed this nation since they took power after independence.

3. Reason two: They are unable to use #Covid_19 to emotionally blackmail us into contributing because they cannot bombard us with adverts and pictures of suffering patients. A tactic used very well by @KenyaRedCross during the KENYA FOR KENYANS fundraiser.
