It could deliver more military support. But the political system, which I’d like to keep btw, doesn’t allow a switch to war economy.
People like their social security, culture support and education and don’t want tax raises. Politicians can’t do what they want without losing support of the voters. And then there are the agendas of the many political parties in many countries…
Arr. 🦜
Simultaneous translation is a difficult job. And then he has to translate words without any meaning. That’s tough. I feel for him.
Thanks for the interesting read.
To clarify: I mentioned him, as a person who had to endure murder threats and assassination attempts (for decades) because he openly stated his thoughts. I haven’t read his books or know his opinions. My point is that his life is threatened for writing up his ideas.
It can’t be said clear enough that Israel’s military is committing horrible crimes in Gaza. This can’t be justified. That’s a point which doesn’t need to be argued about I think. Everyone who stands up to end the suffering is right. On the other side it is really complicated to talk about anything besides this point.
Europe: 0 (if you exclude Belarus)
The deterrent effect of the death penalty isn’t proven. I don’t see positive effects if it doesn’t help to prevent crimes. (there are other measures which do work)
I’m glad that it is that way here. I wouldn’t want to live in a country that threatens to kill its inhabitants.
Edit: on second thought, my comment is off topic. Since the question was how many and not why. Sorry.
10 years and not much has changed. The violent extremists are still out there. Charly Hebdo just made some mediocre comics and they got executed for it.
Just take a look at the life of Salman Rushdie.
Some humans are heinous. (No, i dont talk about the peaceful people which just take hope and strength from their belief. The violent ones. And the ones who use religion opportunistically for their cause.)
Good age. Bad guy. RIP.
Is Bernd the fascist invited, too?
On second thought, he could also ask some guys from CSU/ CDU with their “christian beliefs” (en) and maybe some opportunistic SPD fellows to join.
Something, something. The jews.
See? There it is. The cultivated thought of groups with insurmountable differences - in this case a theological belief, it could as well be the color of the skin or some way of life. The forming of arbitrary groups, sides, us and them. It’s just an arbitrary classification, there is no difference between jews or muslims that hinders them to live next to each other.
(It’s more complicated than that yes. There are always shades of grey.)
I don’t see the connection between your ant/boy example and the series of wars and conflicts between Israel and the surrounding nations and organisations (Egypt, Palestine, Hamas, Lebanon, hesbollah, Iran, Jordan) let’s say since 1948. Would you elaborate on that?
I’m not very deep in the conflict, so please correct me. To me it looks like Israel is surrounded by states and organizations whose aim is to get rid of Israel because they are not Arab - hence Israel’s strong and expensive military. Israel on the other side is rigid on the status of the occupied palestinian territories and threatens to destroy everybody who dares to attack them. And they did that after the attacks in 2023, including all the war crimes they committed.
No party did nearly enough to defuse the situation before 2023. And the result is another round of human suffering and more hate and anger. That’s why I said: everyone is the asshole here.
Please don’t. Alcoholism is a disease. That’s different.
Edit: wording
Needs more scrolling wall of text for my liking. ;)
Meh. Musk isn’t needed for people to vote for the fear mongers. (Also Hasselhoff had no hands in the fall of the berlin wall. Sorry :)
That’s a self made social problem (i.e. falling trust in the often untrustworthy politicians - i’m looking at you cum-ex-olaf or at you sabotaging-every-effort-Lindner). And an educational problem (eh, a well funded education system in country without substantial natural resources, who needs that anyways? Political education? Pfff, who cares.)
People have fears, opportunists use fears to gain power. I think.
Every side is the asshole in that regional conflict - it’s like as if the cultivated thought, that there are opposing groups which don’t share compatible ideas, is the issue. And the civilian population suffers.
Humans are stupid. (Or heinous, depending on the actors motivations.)
Main: primary provider. Use the volume tariff as a backup when the primary provider isn’t usable.
It’s about access to NNTP servers (Usenet). The thing that was used before forums, reddit, Lemmy. But not like irc, matrix or telegram. You can write text messages and reply to them. And you can attach binary data like archives, pictures or videos (bulk data) to your messages - this is the interesting part here.
To access the server you need a NNTP capable client. I.e. thunderbird - which is not especially suitable for down- or uploading binary data.
For binary downloads you could look into the arr suite (Google it and you will find wikis and related discussion groups). Nzbget, sabnzbd… I don’t know any details, until now I was too lazy to dive into that timesink.
Thanks. Fixed it.
Sadly there is no if. To me it looks like the EU and US want to make the war as expensive as possible for Russia. Their aim is not to strengthen Ukraine to the point where they can win. (I don’t know if out of fear from russia’s nuclear weapons or if there simply isn’t enough political support for more help.)
Ukraine losing, is also exactly the story which Russia wants the world to see and believe in. Hence their inhumane warfare.
That must be hard for the people in Ukraine. I wouldn’t be very grateful for this kind of support if I were in their position. Rn it just prolongs the war.
Spot on! Can upvote just once, sadly.
Jim Jarmush is awesome and Armin Müller-Stahl isn’t half bad either. :)
Er hat doch von sich aus, seinen Rückzug entschieden. Die Partei hat ihm das wohl nicht nahe gelegt. Oder war es anders?
Weil wenn er nicht will, macht es ja keinen Sinn, ne Petition zu starten. Was sollen tun, ihn zwingen?
Und er will ja weiter machen. Nur nicht an der Spitze. Arbeit gibts bestimmt auch in der 2. und 3. Reihe genug.
Versteht mich nicht falsch. Ich glaub er ist weniger korrupt und asylfeindlich als Merz oder Lindner und sympathischer ohnehin. Ich hätte nichts dagegen, wenn er weiter machte. Aber wenn er nicht will?
