On social media and the seemingly endless ocean of opinion formation, outrage is often responded to with humor and hidden jabs. A tweet from AfD politician Beatrix von Storch provoked a humorous reaction from Deutsche Bahn. But what is fact and what is fiction in this online dispute?

The train can really only WOKE: 25 minutes late departure. After 3 minutes of driving, an announcement: we have to make another turn after the next stop - an additional 15 minutes. Like all over (Germany)
: don't get anything on the chain anymore, but show a lot of attitude in the pink tutu (rainbow).
Twitter (X) – Beatrix von Storch
The main point Beatrix von Storch made in her tweet was associating train delays with excessive political correctness. This is subjective and falls more into the category of opinion than verifiable facts. There is no provable causal connection between the two.
The reaction of Deutsche Bahn
Deutsche Bahn responded with humor and an edited photo of Beatrix von Storch in the Egyptian desert, suggesting that she was “sent to the desert.”

conclusion
Beatrix von Storch's tweet and the railway's response should be viewed in context. The claim that political correctness affects rail efficiency is an opinion and cannot be directly verified or quantified. The railway's humorous response is an example of the casual, often humorous nature of social media communication.
