"Weird phase for tech" is a nice euphemism for "knows what casettes are, but didn't have to put them into computers anymore."
I agree though that it is crazy. I remember it being a big thing for teenagers being 14,15 when i was 7 or 8 to get their own mobile phone. The kids born in 2001 onwards often had their first smartphone at 8 or 9
Which formative years? Everything until 25 is quite formative.
Don't you have a mortgage to pay off? Hush hush to work, and leave the internet to us. Doesn't matter if you were in some usenet mailing groups already, when most people couldn't type on a keyboard.
I think you limit your understanding to western Christianism, which infamously decided to establish a direct connection between political and religious authority as well as deeply institutionalized religion. These concepts already struggle when looking at the original, orthodox Christians like they survived in Palestine, the Levant and Turkey.
If you look at diaspora Judaism in large parts it has been a beacon of scientific and social progress in many areas. Which is why these groups strongly oppose Zionism as a religiously themed imperial project, which directly contradicts their religious values and bastardizes the understanding of Judaism into a barbaric version.
If you look at Islam it brought great scientific and social progress, in particular allowing for Christian and Jewish communities to thrive, building social infrastructure and implementing rule of law. Look at the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Iberian Jews, after the Christians won against the "Moors". Extremist Islamism is a product of hundreds of years of genocidal Western Christian occupation, largely absent in places where people could life and practice in peace.
If you look at the Western "war on terror", Chinas subjugation of the Uighur, the Serbian genocide in Bosnia and Putins supression of Muslims, you should wonder, what brings all these powers together? It is their fear of a reemergence of religion, not as a cheap trope, like with the evangelicals in the US, but as something people take serious. In particular Islam is dangerous to established powers and capitalist rule, as it provides a balanced approach to life, where the relationship to god is a priority but sustained by thriving for a good and just life for oneself and their community.
Meanwhile both capitalism and communism reflect on humans as purely economic beings, whose struggle should always be materialistic rather than holistic.
No, no and no*
Marx postulated communism from an economic analysis with the goal to improve the economic and political situation of the working class. This is deeply antifascist.
Lenin abolished the tsarist rule and implemented progressive politics like womens rights and ended the criminalization of homosexuality.
Stalin while ideologically and economically not a fascist was staunchly authoritarian, which is a core theme of fascism and he rolled back many of the progressive social policies of Lenin. However authoritarianism is an universal political theme, whether fascist, stalinist, monarchist or even "democratic".
Nun ist nochmals gerichtlich bestätigt, was außerhalb der deutschen Politik und Medienblase fast jedem klar ist. Israel agiert als ein illegales Besatzungsregime, dass Land annektiert, und sich der Apartheit und/oder rassischen Seggregation schuldig macht.
Dies bezeichnet den Zustand bis Ende 2022, die Verbrechen, die seitdem dazu gekommen sind, waren nicht Teil des Gutachtens.
Die Strategie des Lauten Schweigens der Bundesregierung, die zwar formale Kritik äußert, aber militärisch, diplomatisch und finanziell weiter das Besatzeregime unterstüzt rückt damit noch weiter in die direkte Unterstützung dieser Verbrechen gegen das Völkerrecht.
Gleichzeitig muss endlich die Frage auf den Tisch, warum mit der Unterstützung von Axel Springer & co. weiter die Stimmen kriminalisiert und ausgegrenzt werden, die die gleiche Haltung wie der IGH einnehmen und das Besatzerregime zu recht scharf verurteilen.
According to a LinkedIn profile Viasna said belonged to Krieger, he worked as a medical worker for the German Red Cross and as an armed security officer for the US embassy in Berlin.
This guy being just a tourist is as probable as the Russian soldiers that "got lost" on vacation, ending up in Donetsk between 2014 and 2022
To put it into perspective. 43°C is 22°C away from the standard comfort temperature of 21°C. Going the same length into colder instead of hotter, you end up at freezing temperature of -1°C compared to comfort temperature.
I am a bit more pessimistic than you. The "social democrats" SPD made their EU campaign on claiming to be the party that brings peace in Europe. The "liberal" (aka neoliberal with some alt-right tendencies) FDP was annoyed to have to start helping Ukraine instead of Russia just succeeding with the invasion and more business to be made under a new status quo. The "green" party has turned to be the most staunch supporter of weapon deliveries and military investments now. However their entire foreign policy is focused around doing what the US says and does.
If Trump wins, Germany will be quick to let Ukraine fall to Russia. Another big issue are the state level elections in eastern German states, where either fascist AfD governments or polarized deadlocks are to be expected. The AfD is a big Putin fanclub.
Also looking at how Germany left Afghanistan backstabbing and sacrificing the people die that risked their lives helping you, is the go to way of German foreign politics now.
Don't you know that choosing not to buy products made under an aprtheid regime or by companies profitting of genocide is literally Hitler?!
At least that is what many US states and Germany want us to believe.
You do know that Stonewall was a riot right? LGBT rights were not achieved by hanging some rainbow flags from a truck and drinking champagne in a topless outfit
Volle Zustimmung. Wenn wir "Waffenverbotszonen" als Beispiel nehmen, ging es dabei auch nur darum, einen Grund zu finden um "Verdächtige" zu durchsuchen. Und zufällig waren Verdächtige dann immer Menschen mit einer Hautfarbe, die auch die Nazis nicht mögen.
Und damit man sich das noch mal für Klingenwaffen verdeutlicht. Eine feststehende Klinge von 8-10 cm ist ungefähr so die Länge, die di emeisten Hände vom Daumen bis zum kleinen Finger breit sind.
