Talk:Yascha Mounk

Is it general practice on the wikipedia to list all interviews and articles for biographic entries? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:E5B0:59E0:484B:DB9C:114A:F6E5 (talk) 19:29, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Not really. To be honest, it is not clear how notable Mounk is. I would not be surprised that the article was created by himself or his promoters to boost his public intellectual career. Ashmoo (talk) 09:11, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Little about mother, nothing about father
We now know that his mother was/is a jewish Polishwoman and former member of the Polish communist party through a political purge within that party in Poland. 1. Did she have Polish citizenship, or was she stateless, or did she have claims to German citizenship? It seems mysterious, as she would, after surviving the holocaust, emigrate/remigrate especially to Germany as jewish person. Also, communists were not especially wanted people in Germany at that time. 2. Who was/is his father? A Pole? a catholic, protestant, jewish, atheist Pole, stateless person, ethnic German from postwar Poland, or clamiant of German citizenship? Or something completely different? It does not make sense that his mother's religion only is mentioned, but then the father is totally spared out. A strangely lopsided background for a famous professor. Maybe someone can enlighten. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:C0:DF46:C200:613A:6E8:B467:9C82 (talk) 11:01, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Update needed
Chap seems to have gotten himself into an accusational imbroglio now repeated across multiple RS and definitely due. Iskandar323 (talk) 12:32, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
