Nur Lob wird entgegengenommen, Kritik ist ein Verbrechen

2026-02-10T09:22:25Z

Eine große Krise dieser Zeit, dieses Zeitgeists (und (sozio-)kulturell) scheint es zu sein: Es muss dich niemand mögen. Es ist niemand verpflichtet dazu, dich toll zu finden.
Empört, beleidigt, mit lautem Gezeter und Anzeigen wird reagiert statt, wie in früheren Zeiten, mit etwas klarzukommen, es auszuhalten, die Regeln des Spiels und der Natur zu begreifen, Lob und Sympathie sind kein Automatismus und keine garantierte Leistung. Schlichtweg: Jeder wird nicht jeden mögen, und es ist nichts kaputt oder ein Fehler in der Matrix, wenn das passiert. Sondern gehört zum Leben an sich dazu, wenn man nicht unter einer Käseglocke lebt, wo alles klinisch bereinigt und genau so ist wie man es haben will - man in einer künstlichen Umgebung lebt, die sich jenseits von Realität und Realismus bewegt.

Kidnapping in the name of imagined exceptionalism

2026-01-05T22:37:21Z

Although it may be speculative and a bit too early to say that, but the abduction of Venezuela's head of state, commmited by the United States, looks like to become a stunt which, this time, in the long run, won't agree with them. This open "we do whatever the fuck we want"-manner demonstrates too much a deep-seated attitude of ignorance and disrespect against other nations, also against international law - when the moment should come that the United States are going to sink down into a very large whole that will keep them busy with themselves and their own order for a longer time, the international community will probably not have entirely forgotten these blatant acts of neocolonialism, and it might bring consequences into effect then (because the big bully on the schoolyard then isn't powerful enough anymore to force his will upon everyone else or even act vengeful in cases where he thinks to detect betrayal).

Review

2025-12-31T12:06:47Z

The beginning of recession, no matter how much the "experts" want to deny it in front of everyone.
Economic decline becomes visible slowly but surely, but increasingly obvious.
Another year that shows an old world order and the domination of a certain empire and its lackeys comes to an end.
Needing more or less proto-fascist methods and means to cover it and keep itself up for some more time until all the "important" people have brought their belongings into safety, tells a lot about the state of those countries and "players" who behave like that. And there is only one conclusion to draw from it: Downfall.

Genauso das ewig gleiche einseitige Geplärre über vorgeblich in dieser Zeit "ausartender Gewalt gegen Frauen" in den westlichen (wohlhabenden) Ländern?

Review

2024-12-31T00:58:04Z

The world drowns in a scattered fire of conflict and war.
Those areas which aren’t hit by this yet are met with an increasing backlash into old-fashioned conservatism and, in parts, from religiosity to religious fanatism - still rather social, but a moderate threat exists that it will also become politically and cast in law.
“Values” and defending those they call that, completely forgetting that all “values” are just a human invention and a human imagination. - In nature, these “values” don’t exist and the only rule is: “Eat or be eaten.”
Meanwhile, forgetting on the other hand, that those “value defenders” of today have made their very contribution over long extents of time that those “values” have been lost and dismantled. By indescribable amounts of neglect, carelessness about them (so much for their supposed “importance”!), corruption, personal gain and greed for lucre.

Die Allgegenwärtigkeit und Straflosigkeit (radikal-)feministischer Hassrede

2024-09-17T11:08:41Z

Warum lässt sich in der Presse und in den sozialen Medien mittels Memes und Hastags über Männer hetzen, wie man es umgekehrt gegen Frauen, Ausländer oder Menschen anderer Hautfarbe als weiß auf keinen Fall öffentlich dürfte, ohne sich dafür eine Anzeige einzuhandeln?
Weil es nichts kostet. Der Preis, den diese Agitation kosten könnte, ist äußerst gering. Man bekommt keine Strafanzeige, es steht morgen kein Mob vor der Tür, der einen lynchen will, man wird auch nicht aus seiner Arbeitsstelle verdrängt oder gar gleich direkt gefeuert wegen untragbarem Verhalten (und Äußerungen, mit denen kein Unternehmen öffentlich in Verbindung gebracht werden will).
Schlichtweg: Es hat keine spürbaren Folgen. Keiner beschwert sich, keiner schlägt einen dafür, es nimmt einem auch keiner die finanzielle Grundlage des eigenen Lebens weg.
Es wird stillschweigend gebilligt.
Stillschweigend gebilligte ideologisch radikale Misanthropie gegen die eine Hälfte der Menschheit.
Dazu wird sie auch noch schöngeredet, indem, dass man den rhetorischen Trick anführt, diese Hälfte der Menschheit werde pausenlos von der anderen unterdrückt, ihrer Rechte beraubt, dürfte überhaupt gar nichts, und erfahre ausschließlich und als Alleinstellungsmerkmal pausenlos Gewalt verschiedenster Art, in allen Teilen der Erde, im reichen und wohlhabenden Westen gleichermaßen wie wo gesellschaftlich bitterste Armut herrscht; genauso gleichermaßen in Gegenden, wo man sich seine religiösen und andere Überzeugungen frei aussuchen darf ohne dass es Konsequenzen seitens des Staates oder seiner Organe gibt, wie in den Erdteilen, wo es eine verordnete Staatsreligion gibt und einer anderen zu folgen oder gar ungläubig (atheistisch) zu sein eine Straftat darstellt und gesellschaftliche Ausgrenzung herrscht, eventuell sogar begleitet mit Gewalt und Straffreiheit für diese für die Ausübenden.
- Ein “rhetorischer Trick” deshalb, weil es verkennt, welche Kämpfe die Vorfahrinnen in den wohlhabenden Erdteilen bereits geleistet haben, damit die Frauen der Gegenwart überhaupt das tun dürfen, was sie tun und wollen - darunter auch so menschenverachtend hetzen gegen die eine Hälfte der Menschheit.

Waldbrände in Südeuropa

2023-07-26T23:43:06Z

Wenn das, was man bis jetzt - insbesondere in diesem Jahr - gesehen hat, schrecklich und kaum handzuhaben findet, dann warte man mal ab, wenn der CO₂-Austoß aus den Jahren, als die Smartphones auf den Markt kamen, in der Atmosphäre herumgezogen sind und ihre volle Wirkung entfalten (was, laut Angaben, ca. 15 Jahre dauert)...
Da in diesen besagten Jahren die kurzlebige Verschwendung von Ressourcen nämlich erst richtig anfing.
Inklusive der Ausbau des globalen Internets zum Zwecke seiner endgültigen Kommerzialisierung stattfand. (Viele Rechenzentren und Festplatten, die rund um die Uhr laufen, nur damit Leute jederzeit irgendwelche Inhalte abrufen können...)

The promise about a panacea

A phenomenon typical of this time episode: Perceiving everything and nothing through the filter of one’s political and one’s general world view. Every event that happens is being tried to make it fit into one’s personal agenda, even without making sure before if the factual situation actually allows it or suits.

Saving the world, all the time (Poor James... Always he has to work, never he gets a rest)

Do they broadcast James Bond movies internationally as much as they do in German TV at times?
Judging from the amount of frequency, one comes to pity that man... Because he must be the most overworked agent of a secret service around the world. Under real life circumstances, he’d have to have a burnout by now, on top several other mental diseases and an addiction to alcohol, if not that he had already tried to kill himself several times in order to get out of this sick shit of a Groundhog Day cycle.

Worlds apart, united in anthropocentrism (together the ruin of the earth)

2022-08-08T21:39:16Z

You know what’s going to be the biggest factor getting in the way of soothing the extent that climate change will have on this blue sphere here?
The international community outside of the Western countries gives a fuck about so-called “green technologies”. They care more about their own development, which had been kept down for centuries by the plundering of the dominant European and North American countries. And that means, cheap energy accessible to the biggest mass of people and local industries carries more importance than making it as exclusive as it can get through applying complex and expensive technologies in the chain, which the bigger parts of the population in the first world countries are able to afford (in whatever way possible to individuals).
The mindset of the Western world and what they think of as “problems” is so far away from those of the rest of the world - literally elevated thousands of kilometers above the ground, figuratively.

Here, with the war in Ukraine active soon-to-be for half a year, the world is still waiting for Russia to collapse under the consequences of that decision.
Instead consumer prices exploded around the world, certain goods have become even rarer than before after the slight relief of the global economy from Covid-19, and food supplies and heating have become not safe (the latter - let alone how much it will cost in the end and if you can afford it, if your wallet’s budget is tight).

Just because Europe and the Western world is used to borders not changing anymore in its own sphere since the end of WWII, it doesn’t mean that they can’t and the end of history has been reached.
Nation-building and -forming is still an ongoing, dynamic process. It can still undergo changes.
In the rest of the world it even does so.

International financial war aid

2022-05-24T06:47:05Z

All that "aid money", no matter if it goes to Ukraine or wherever else throughout the world - first, not only that it is taxpayer money, so it's the money of everyone, second, nobody can safely control or guarantee which pathways it'll end up at, whether it reaches its intended destination or whether it just ends up in the hands of shady figures, third, it's mostly credit money, money borrowed from the future that taxpayers are gonna end up taking responsibility for and pay back, and, in the fourth point, it's additional cash pumped into the circulation of money - by that, it's millions, billions and trilions of money created and taken out of nowhere that is suddenly present as extra book money, making the already existing money of a particular currency lose value.
Through that, it eventually fuels the already ongoing high inflation - without the general public making any safe gain, even the more only causing more and more problems for it. For example by strongly rising consumer prices.

Banning guns at home, but selling them to terrorists

2022-05-05T11:55:50Z

Just a critical question: US gun control activists - where are you if it's about the countless US foreign military aid and the guns it sells to the rest of the world? On top, to partly dubious and shady places, organizations and groups?
You also just stand ready for action if it's about your precious kids who could get shot at school or at their college by some weirdo or a kid from their own ranks that was bullied for all its life! If this shit can affect yourself, you feel the urgent need to do something against it - for example, to call for laws that are unrealistic that don't solve any problem.
But if the dying happens thousands of kilometers away from you, if it's not your kids who die, not your spouses, friends and relatives, you're nowhere to be seen, like you don't give a damn.
You know what? In your case, it stinks of typical narrow-mindedness, the usual US-centrism and it reeks of paid activism.
You just only care about something if it happens next door or the people who could be affected by it could be someone you personally know. If it could be somebody you hold dear.
You don't care a single bit about the general concept and anything else outside of your narrow ken that you have picked for yourself to act outraged!

"Threatened by poverty"

2022-04-23T16:37:08Z

Regarding the recently soaring consumer prices for foods that rise nearly every two weeks (like if they'd be measured by the price of oil, humorously spoken), it reminds you of openly raising the question why is it always called "threatened by poverty"?
Is "poverty" the shady scary guy with the club that stands on the sidewalk beside the house entrance? No! People aren't "threatened by poverty", they don't fear for his hit, they are already poor! This is the reality!
"Threatened by poverty" is nothing but another one of those public relations phrases that shall cover up the fact that there are people in the so-called "wealthier countries" of the earth who aren't as rich as their self-produced propaganda machinery wants to make believe. And, regarding the numbers that are repeatedly cited in this context, there even is no talking about "individual cases" and "personal failure". It's a mass phenomenon, always affecting a quota of between 15 and 20 percent of the population. No matter which of the "wealthier countries" you take to take a look at.
