Stochastischer Terrorismus dies das.

Dazu kommen dann allerdings auch eine SPD und FDP, die in ihren Koalitionen auf Landesebene oder auf Bundesebene die SPD im Innenministerium weiter vor einer neuen RAF warnen statt den braunen Sumpf in und außerhalb des Staatsapparates trockenzulegen.

Könnte es etwas damit zu tun haben, dass in den 90er “Linke” auch häufig von Armut und Arbeitslosigkeit betroffen waren, gerade im Osten?

Ich bin erst später und in der Stadt aufgewachsen, deswegen frage ich.

Doch es soll privates Kapital genutzt werden. Nur das sich dann völlig überraschend das Wunder des privaten Kapitals in öffentlichen Monopolpositionen nicht zu besseren Dienstleistungen für weniger Geld entwickelt, sondern so schlechteren Dienstleistungen für deutlich mehr Geld. Fast so als ob Monopole oder Quasimonopole nicht durch private Profitmaximierer besetzt werden sollten.

Well the thing is, this isn’t just a thing in Spain, or just a thing in Germany, or just a thing in France, or just a thin in Italy, or Croatio, or Hungary, or Austria, the Netherlands, or Belgium or Poland…

It is a specifically european problem in the context of the EU, as opposed to just a problem in a single member state.

That doesn’t deny that it is also a problem on other continents.

Ich habe an einem Montag geheiratet.

Im Interview bei Jung & Naiv hat die Vorsitzende des Bund der deutschen Landjugend davor gewarnt, dass ohne Subventionen die Hänge an der Mosel bald ganz anders aussehen könnten.

Zur Herstellung von Industriealkohol Wein zu nutzen und das dann auch noch staatlich zu subventionieren, anstatt auf effizientere Zuckerpflanzen wie Rüben zurückzugreifen ist volkswirtschaftlich und ökologisch jedenfalls völliger Wahnsinn.

Wenn wir annehmen, dass es in jedem Leben einen besten Moment gibt, dann kann man das über jeden Moment sagen.

Und nach drei Tagen zugekokstem und weggesoffenem Festivalbesuch eine Woche Krankenhausaufenthalt zu haben, und ne Woche später festzustellen, dass man sich Genitalherpes eingefangen hat, ist vielleicht auch nicht so der Lebenshöhepunkt, dem man alle anderen unterordnen möchte. Auch dann nicht, wenn während der drei Tage der Dopaminspiegel am höchsten jemals war.

I recommend everyone to read up a bit on the Algerian war for independence

In total the estimates for Algerians killed, mostly murdered by the French opression range from 400.000-1.500.000.

The French massacred Civilians, used torture and rape, unlawful detentions, food deprivation and other inhumane tactics to supress and murder the people struggling to live in self determination on their own land.

Meanwhile of course the independance fighters were branded as terrorists and barbarians to delegitimise their political goals and in complete denial about the terror imposed by the French police and army.

Finally the French lost as their population stopped supporting the murder, torture and rape. It also lead to the collapse of the fourth republic, after which the war was lost soon after.

The military tried to coup twice. First to bring de Gaulle into power and maintain the brutal opression of Algeria and a second time to coup de Gaulle out, as he was realising the war to be lost and seeking a political resolution.

For decades after there was no recognition of the French, that a war took place. They refered to it as a police operation and the topic was banned from schools.

In the muslim and arab world what happens in Gaza and the Westbank is often seen in parallel to the Algerian war of independence. In Europe many countries gloss over or just dont teach about the Algerian war for independence or other independance movements in the former colonies at all.

The polarisation created by the agreement thus has the potential to seep into wider society. Indeed, 2023 was also a year of increased riots and protests in Mauritania due in large part to the police killing of human rights activist al-Soufi Ould al-Chine in February and a young Afro-Mauritanian man, Oumar Diop, in May.

The latter instance in particular compounded a sense of racialised exclusion felt by many within the Afro-Mauritanian community. Indeed, it is not uncommon for Afro-Mauritanians to be suspected of being “illegal immigrants” by security forces, given the difficulties many face in obtaining civil registry documentation. In such a context, the EU incentivising national security forces to crack down on “irregular migration” carries acute risks for those already on the margins in Mauritania.

The migration deal, therefore, risks inflaming racial tensions and social polarisation in Mauritania while it is also unlikely to achieve its stated aim of preventing “irregular migration”. Such an outcome would foremost be detrimental to the country itself, and it would also undermine the EU’s own framing of Mauritania as a beacon of stability in a troubled region.

Thats bullshit. It is particularly heinous that in Germany Germans think they get to decide who is a “real jew” and who isnt. Denying jewish ethnic or cultural heritage based on political positions is antisemtic bullshit.

Gerade reingekommen: Hessen ist im Krieg mit Ozeanien. Hessen war schon immer mit Ostasien verbündet.

Aber dann kann man “EU-Parlamentskandidat” in seinen Lebenslauf schreiben.

Ich finde Doppeldenk besser. Man denkt nie nur eine oder zwei Sachen. Und auch der Bereich rational oder ethisch sinnvollen Meinung zu einem Thema enthält meist mehr als nur genau eine Meinung. Doppeldenk zeigt, dass wirklich zwei volle Gedankenkonstrukte aus zahlreichen sich widersprechenden Einzelgedanken und insgesamt widersprüchlich nebeneinander stehen können.

There was a new decision on Palestinians facing immediate starvation and demanding Israel to fully comply with with the prior ruling as well as working together with the UN and immediately allow unobstructed access for humantarian aid.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/icj-orders-israel-to-increase-humanitarian-aid-to-gaza-demands-report-in-30-days/

Also the court did not rule that there was no genocide in its first ruling. It said that there is a plausibility of genocide and that Israel needs to comply with the provisional measures to not increase the risk of genocide. Given that it had to not only repeat itself on that but increase the scope of demands, it certainly does not represent Israel as being sincere about the preventionof genocide.

Doppeldenk:

Doppeldenk (engl. doublethink; in älteren Übersetzungen: Zwiedenken) ist ein Neusprech-Begriff aus dem dystopischen Roman 1984 von George Orwell und beschreibt eine Art widersprüchlichen Denkens, von dem gesagt wird, dass zu seinem Verständnis Doppeldenk selbst die Voraussetzung bilde. Durch dieses propagierte Denken, bei dem zwei widersprüchliche oder sich gegenseitig ausschließende Überzeugungen aufrechtzuerhalten und beide zu akzeptieren sind, setzt die herrschende Kaste die Gesetze der Logik außer Kraft. Dadurch wird das Denken der Parteimitglieder schwammig und in Zweideutigkeit gehalten, wodurch schnelle Kurswechsel des Regimes auf eigentümliche Weise sofort akzeptiert werden können, auch wenn es sich dabei um das genaue Gegenteil der zuvor noch „gültigen Wahrheit“ handelt, etwa bei abrupten Wechseln der Feindbilder oder der politischen Losungen.

Das schließt mit ein: Absichtlich Lügen zu erzählen und aufrichtig an sie zu glauben; jede beliebige Tatsache zu vergessen, die unbequem geworden ist, und dann, falls es wieder nötig ist, sie aus der Vergessenheit zurückzuholen; so lange wie nötig die Existenz einer objektiven Realität zu leugnen und gleichzeitig die Realität zu akzeptieren, die man verleugnet.

Sie wissen was sie tun, und sie wissen auch warum sie es tun. Es ist Teil einer autoritären Herrschaftsstrategie.

The ICJ just ruled again, that Israel is not upholding its obligations to prevent genocide, in particular that it must finally allow for full humanitarian access and end the starvation of the people in Gaza.

I trust the highest court of the world to be more qualified to recognize genocide than some pro Israel propaganda piece.

Ireland is not comparable. As the market share of a company grow, so do the demands of customers if they get mislead by the company and the interest of competititors to have legal repercussions for illegal activities.

Ireland is different, as it works as a tax haven for these companies. They don’t care about how many customers are there. They care about how much of their profit they can declare in the country with the least tax rate.

I am not so sure about this. There used to be plenty of space for both. There was no “forced” interaction and the dog population was much smaller. So there was no genetic pressure into the wolf population, even if there were some crossovers. Now the habitation is extremely limited for wolves, getting into contact with human population is inevitable and any influx of dog genes into the wolf population has a realistic chance of forcing itself through, as seen by the hybrids making up most of the wild wolf population in many places.

In 1800 the Western European populations were at a bout half of what they are today. In Northern and Eastern Europe it was more like a quarter to a fifths of todays population. But back then there were no cars, hardly any trains, and the overall land usage was much much smaller than today.

When i checked again the statement by the group has been updated, now using the term freezing in the bold part of the statement:

Berliner Sparkasse freezes Jewish Voice account

You are right that there could be a legal confusion around the term confiscation and the statement was updated probably to reflect the point you made about the legal meaning.

In the common usage both in English and German the term is broader what i argued for.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confiscation

Confiscation (from the Latin confiscatio “to consign to the fiscus, i.e. transfer to the treasury”) is a legal form of seizure by a government or other public authority. The word is also used, popularly, of spoliation under legal forms, or of any seizure of property as punishment or in enforcement of the law.

EDIT: The following is only referring to the usage in common used language. The legal distinction is as pointed out by @geissi@feddit.de and freezing in legal terms is different from confiscation.

The factual control over that property is taken away from the owner. That is confiscation (in the common used language not in legal terms). For any physical property that term is used directly in that sense. The term “freezing” for bank accounts has established in that sector but it remains valid to speak of confiscation as the factual control over that asset is seized from the owner.(in the common used language not in legal terms) For that is is irrespective of whether the recognized ownership has changed. I.e. if a police officer takes all the money out of your wallet and puts it in a safe at the police station it still has been confiscated from you, even if he gives you a letter stating it is still your money. You are denied access to it, until some decision has been reached by someone.

The only legal distinction here is that the bank is a regulated private or in this case public entity that is legally seperate from the executive, whereas the police is a direct executive organ.
