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.

But, questionable at the same time is what will replace it. Will the order and domination by another or several other players be better for everyone?

For as long as human economy, multiplying human money and intentionally/approvingly increasing the human world population still are the most important things to bother the humans or any construct or any tool of them, (AI) there can arise whatever new empire that wants to, it won't improve the state of the planet everyone lives on - and, through that, in the long term, the conditions the humans live in (plus all the other living creatures upon this blue ball in the solar system)...

(Who will need humans to populate the planet lavishly anyway, if AI keeps on improving itself, so that the humans can give up some more shares of their cognitive capacity/potential again?)

Immer wieder wird in den letzten Monaten und Jahren der Kampfbegriff "Femizid" in den Raum geworfen - wisst ihr aber, wo er genau bei der gleichen Heuchelei mitmacht, und den bestehenden Verhältnissen ohne Ausnahme zuarbeitet?
Genauso das ewig gleiche einseitige Geplärre über vorgeblich in dieser Zeit "ausartender Gewalt gegen Frauen" in den westlichen (wohlhabenden) Ländern?

Bei Gewalt gegen Kinder.

Da stellen die Gläubigen des Feminismus um keinen Deut irgendwelche Forderungen nach härteren Strafen, besserer Strafverfolgung oder Fußfesseln.
Warum auch? Kinder sind schließlich keine Frauen - und nur um die schert sich der Feminismus.
Beziehungsweise, nur die Hälfte von ihnen sind welche (oder werden mal welche); der Rest gehört ja zu den bösen Schwanzinhabern, die pauschal ja sowieso nur einmal zu Vergewaltigern werden und soaziale Privilegien bis aufs Messer gegen Frauen verteidigen werden, und daher keines Schutzes bedürfen...

...Nicht nur, dass daran der versteckte, aber genauso üble Sexismus des Feminismus offensichtlich wird (und aller, die ihn in diesen Jahren blind mit Löffeln gefressen haben) - man merkt auch, wie sehr diese Ideologie um sich selbst kreist und sich alles, im Grunde, auch nur um Klientelpolitik dreht. - Wo vielleicht einzelne Protagonistinnen noch persönlichen Gewinn daraus ziehen wollen.

Böse könnte man dabei sogar davon sprechen: Siehe man wie kinderfeindlich die feministische Ideologie ist.
Denn sie sieht sich nicht genötigt, noch den Bedarf danach, mal etwas dafür zu tun, dass Leute, die Kinder schlagen oder vergewaltigen, oder für irgendwelche egoistischen/egozentischen Zwecke missbrauchen, oder großangelegte Pornosammlungen von Bildern mit ihnen oder Quälereien von ihnen anlegen, mal einigermaßen angemessener zu dem Schaden, den sie auf lange Sicht bei den Betroffenen anrichten, bestraft zu werden.
Keiner, der von dieser Seite mal darauf hinweist (bzw. auf den Zug aufspringt): Kinder sind keine halben Erwachsenen, und darum dürfen Strafen bei Vergehen gegen Kinder auch nicht viel geringer ausfallen.
Kinder, die nämlich heute körperlich und mental zerstört werden, sind die fehlende Zukunft von morgen. - Werden diejenigen sein, die langjährig das Gesundheitssystem beschäftigen werden, wegen der vielen Folgeerscheinungen von Missbrauch und Traumata.
Sie werden kaputte Erwachsene sein, die eventuell vom Arbeitsmarkt weg sind, viel wahrscheinlicher aber noch wieder Kinder hervorbringen werden, die sie genauso zu weiteren kaputten Erwachsenen prägen werden. - Schneller als sie sich ihrer Vergangenheit und deren Auswirkungen auf ihr Innenleben bewusst werden.

Übel gesprochen: Feminismus, du arbeitest den Pädos und ihren Netzwerken in allen Gesellschaftsschichten wunderbar zu pass!
Weil du dich nämlich nicht dafür interessierst, wie die Jüngsten, die einmal die Zukunft sein werden, kaputt gemacht werden.
Du willst nur harte Strafen für Leute, die irgendwas gegen Weiblichkeit machen oder haben; irgendwelche Rachsucht befriedigen.
Ob es aber noch toxischer (um mal deine Wortwahl und Rhetorik aufzugreifen) für die Gesellschaft ist, dass weiterhin Gewalt gegen Kinder geradezu wie ein Kavaliersdelikt bestraft wird - so weit willst und kannst du nicht denken.
Somit offenbarst du ziemlich deutlich, in einem weiteren Aspekt von vielen, dass du in Wirklichkeit an keiner Veränderung der Zustände interessiert bist, sondern nur auf die andere Seite des Tisches wechseln willst. Andere mal schlagen, drangsalieren und herumschubsen können willst.

Die Vorwürfe von Betroffenen, die einst mal solche Kinder gewesen sind, dass Gewalt gegen Kinder vergleichsweise lasch gesühnt wird, gegenüber Straftaten an Erwachsenen, in dieser Tradition machst du nämlich "fröhlich" weiter, lieber Feminismus - und macht ihr auch weiter, liebe Feministinnen!

Steckt euch also euer Gesülze von "jeden Tag wird eine Frau..." und euren Femizid in wesentlich behüteteren Teilen der Welt als Afrika oder Nahost (wo erheblich mehr Gewalt and Frauen passiert als ihr es in eurer abgeschirmten Käseglocke des westlichen Wohlstands kennt) sonstwohin.

(Täglich sterben mehr Menschen auf der Welt durch Krieg als nur eine Person - und ihr schert euch um eine einzige Frau im Westen, die zu Tode kommt, nur weil sie eine Frau ist...)

Syria has fallen.

After more than 13 years of war, just a few weeks of Blitzkrieg, in the end, came to be that decisive to settle the score...

The backgrounds of this sudden result are yet to be explored.

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...)

So today finally is the official coronation ceremony of Charles III (formerliy Prince Charles) of the United Kingdom...
By that, closing the gap that was left behind with the passing of the (nearly everlasting) Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.

How long his reign will last, time will tell...
Only age-wise you can tell, it's not going to be as long as his mother's.

2022: Russia starts an endeavor that Western sources prophesied about for months and which some sympathizers of it say it was inevitable for 8 years already - the Russian Federation invades the former Eastern territories of Ukraine (since 2014: the self-proclaimed independent peoples’ republics of Donezk and Luhansk), officially calling it a “special military operation” in order to stop the ongoing bloodshed against ethnic Russians that takes place on these territories since shortly after a coup d'état in Kiev known as “Euromaidan”.


The situation is still ongoing with no end of the hostilities in sight - and due to the entanglement of several European countries and the United States of America in this issue (making it a matter of larger extent than just a regional conflict between neighboring countries), on both sides, everyone has to watch their mouth what to say and write and how about the conflict in public.
matrixmann: (Standing one's ground)
In the light of today as the topic of “negotiations” is continuously being wiped off the table with arguments like “Putin started this war” and “Why should Ukraine aspire surrender while they’ve been attacked?” - let’s recall why negotiations are held at all in war scenarios.

When do officials and representatives hold them with representatives of the opponent?
Huh?
First and foremost, it’s not a question of giving up immaterial “values” and virtues” that one side thinks to have on its side - it’s not a question of ideology and idealism.
Plainly, it’s a matter of pragmatism.

Negotiations over truces and “peace” are being held if one side recognizes that it’s about to lose and being crushed, so the smarter people among the state officials figure they’ll be better off stopping to try to win the war by force and rather try to save the slice of the cake that they still have under their control instead of eventually maybe ending up with none of it.

The essence of sitting down to hold negotiations is not surrendering and handing everything over to the enemy that it wants, but more than that securing some little bits of what one still has instead of losing everything and then depending on the arbitrariness or mercy of the winning opponent what few bread crumbs will be granted to oneself.

You practically do that by trying to find things to offer to the enemy fraction for which it shows itself willing to give up the demands for another item. And you do that up until the enemy fraction becomes content and leaves again.

It’s no different than negotiating a price in a handshake deal.
A buyer has interest in obtaining a particular item, the seller tells you the price, but the buyer doesn’t have enough money or doesn’t want to pay that much, so it needs to approach the seller and see if they are hardened in their stance or if there’s some room that can be debated over.

In that case, it’s “only” that the item that you want to buy is “peace” - or at least a truce so that the fighting and the destruction stops.

Negotiating is a tactic that is known in wars and armed conflicts for centuries. As old as such scenarios.

So this isn’t like an “absolutely crazy idea” in this conflict.
Rather it should be asked: What speaks objectively so much against it?

(Unless the explanation is that there are very stubborn humans involved in this specific case that are occupied by ideology and emotional biases who have a very distorted understanding about war at all - that all that there is to obtain is winning, like in a manic fanatic attitude heading for a crusade, heading towards total war, not just mere self-defense.)

...Is there something meaningful to say during these days where the events of today also progress on their way tomorrow? Unimpressed and not impacted by personal opinions of anyone outside of circles of power and public influence?

There's a lot of words that you could voice and drop about the state the world it is in and what and who is responsible for it - but, will it matter? Will it matter anything? Outside of maybe getting into personal trouble? And having to fight that out alone?

Not only that it's war again in Europe - and one of the most devastating times after WWII; unlike in the war over Yugoslavia where NATO came to drop bombs and anytime they won with their orgy of violence -, meanwhile whole NATO discusses and fantasizes about sending weapons into a combat zone headlessly and without safety guarantees which hands these are gonna end up in, while at the same time every time it denies that WWIII has broken out and that its member countries play a very lively part in that. And that Ukraine, their investment proxy in this endeavor, is winning all the time for 11 months, although if it truly did, the war would already been over for a long time.
What kind of world has this become? - Or was it ever any different? Has it only been smart enough in covering its true nature with enough glitter and gold in order to make most of the population believe in its harmlessness and goodwill, being not worth a critical thought about it?

The Western world which calls itself "democractic" and still keeps on spreading its curses on a former president of the United States Trump, using acting and verbal expressions like #NotMyPresident, just because he didn't function according to the usual wishes of the economic and political establishment, seriously shows up and wants to make believe like its whole population supports these political decisions while the reality actually is that there would already be enough people out there to support a national #NotMyPresident campaign in every damn coutry against these so-called "democratic" current leaders. If it wouldn't entail the possibility of becoming subject to repressions or being publicly thrown into the camp of the political right (or whatever kind of zeitgeisty "public enemy"-image) and maybe losing your job and seeing your private life going down the drain through these unfounded mere accusations.

In which point do these policymakers pose anything different than this clown? Making decisions all the time that at least half of the country opposes over its ridiculousness and the danger they create?

The Western world keps reassuring itself over and over again that they're the good guys, the righteous ones - those with all the virtues and values worth fighting for.
But, seen from the prespective of the rest of the world, and seen from the viewpoint of a sober mind, it much more eventually turns into the Death Star from Star Wars. Destroying everything it disapproves of and enslaving everything it can for the profit of the Empire. While leaving behind the trash, the blood and the scattered body parts in the landscape to those who live in the ruins of its acting.

Long story short: Go the hell and make your war alone! Go and have a seat in your own tanks and go to the frontline!
The earlier the warmongering lobbyists and politicians are gone, including their obedient fanboys and fangirls, the better for everyone else who just want to live in peace and quiet.

Thank you, people! Thank you for traveling to Majorca every summer, for traveling to Turkey, Egypt and all the other Mediterranian areas, thank you for every cruise trip you ever joined in the last 20 years, thank you for producing and buying all the short-lived stuff and throwing things away before their expiration, thank you for outsourcing and globalized economy, thank you for all the wars in the Middle East, thank you for all the babies you had to get in the last 20 years, thank you for all the crap you've thoughtlessly thrown into nature, than you for all the stuff you have thoughtlessly taken from nature, thank you for valuing everything in money and rating it higher than matter - thank you for coming up and never getting enough!
That's what everyone gets from it!
And there's still way, way, WAY more to get!

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.

Hopefully those countries which now file their applications for becoming a member of the NATO don't forget that membership doesn't only mean getting "safe from a Russian invasion", but also, whenever the United States are up in a war again with anyone, they're firmly part of the cleanup squad then after that skirmish.
matrixmann: Perceiving a grain of sand in the desert (I see with the eyes of a hunter)
Any party going through with either their plans or already having banned imports of Russian oil and gas and replacing it with liquefied petroleum gas from the US - offically call their agenda to "fight climate change" broke and dishonest (if it ever even officially existed at all).
Because transporting LPG with tankers over half of the globe, burning fuel to deliver fuel, there's nothing more harmful to the world climate than this in this aspect of the economy and regarding general supply with common contemporary energy carriers.
Not even talking about needing to make the energy-intensive efforts to first liquefy the gas to transport it and then turn it into gas again, sacrificing additional amounts of energy, when it's reached its destination. And the terminals that have to be specifically created and built in order to execute both jobs.
matrixmann: (Thinking)
Slowly but surely the weather's habits get a little characteristic of continental climate here over the years... Warm temperatures during the day, but winter coldness during the nights. Larger discrepancies between day and night temperature. - Espcially in spring now. During winter, the differences at times are relatively small.
On top of it, high pressure areas that cover large portions of the European continent and that stay for weeks with barely humidity present, barely any clouds, not even to talk about rain in sight...
And the actual spring and autumn seasons decrease more and more in difference from summer and winter. Whether be that their time stretch or the weather that particularly takes place in them.

After a failed attempt to pull Russia into a war with Ukraine again for the millionth time (the so-called "invasion plans" from December) since the coup d'etat in 2014 and a failed attempt to overthrow the government in Belarus in 2020, the full-grown violence in Kazakhstan now is supposed to be an act of "accident" or honestly result from domestic issues?
This big picture that you get see rather looks like the so-called "orange peel strategy" ("Orangenschalen-Strategie") that already the German Kaiser William II tried to use in order to weaken the Russian Empire, win on the Eastern front in WWI and gain control over Russian territories. - Breaking border territories away from the core empire, like peeling an orange, in order to receive the rich essence lying in the main land.

All three countries used to be and/or are important partners to Russia, in two of them have violent riots taken place over the years with verifiable moral, media, material and financial support of West European countries and the United States.

"Evil to him who evil thinks" if you scratch your head and wonder why, of all places on the earth who are plagued with inner conflicts (which is practically every country by now due to the enemyship against the Covid measures by a growingly radical and violent minority of the population; or take the 1-year-anniversary of the storming of United States Capitol in mind), such coordinated violent actions happen in Kazakhstan - and not in, like, some Western country?
