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...)

In reaction to a text from [livejournal.com profile] onb2017, I get upon the following:

As a Westerner speaking from within the West, I don't really see a unification to stand up against those forces which want to keep the workforce and majority of the population of the world down ever coming so soon.

The reason is the following: Everyone - differing groups - can't even agree on the color of turd.
How do you want to achieve a higher and more complex goal like that, if you can't even manage that triviality?

On the other hand, there is to be considered and has to be admitted: Do I want to work together with feminists, with intersectionalists, with Identity Politics disciples, which want to tell me that the suffering of a woman or a black person is always bigger than mine, if I happen to be a paleface and are not female?
Do I want to work together with people whose primary business every day is first offending me, ridiculing me and telling me that I'm the source of the evil of the world because I have the wrong sex (or want to convert into the wrong sex)?

These people should check out health problems with biological origins... Then they would learn that the problems they refer to - social problems - are solvable, if everyone really wants to, while biological health problems rarely are that solvable that they'll be gone completely. Plus, you can't run away from them, as you carry them with you wherever your go, even to the edge of the world with no other humans around anymore.

What I want to say by this: You stupid fools, obsessing with your social/human problems... Get a life. This will keep both of your hands busy with enough to do.
Even if human-made problems can be quite nasty, evil, violent, brutal and malevolent - still they are solvable (because it "simply" requires human agreement on a common basis and fairness), while problems resulting from bad material, material that cannot be exchanged after developing anymore, often aren't.
This type of problems can hit everyone, regarless of skin color, regarless of sex, regardless of ethnicity or wherever you were born on this planet.
Regardless of what you believe in, prefer or think is right and wrong.

And as long as there are larger groups of people which put their reverse racism and sexism as the top priority on their list instead of recognizing the usefullness in achieving something which everyone benefits from, the road to working together for a particular goal is going to be blocked.
Same for people who subscribed to esoteric nonsense, fucked up conspiracy theories and religious faith, who are hostile to fact-based edcuation and well-established medicine (and/or only accept the "education" and "medicine" which they approve of), who react aggressively if they get put in their place once in their lives - who only put an interest in getting themselves and their kin the best life and the best resources, making their children and grand-children and parents survive and leave everyone else to die.

You can't act together if there is no common ground and if each group is only interested in lobbyism for the social group they want to represent because they think their group is the best of all living creatures and everyone else is unworthy trash.
You can't act together if hate and despise for each other is the greatest point you have in common.
And if those who still want to be fair are being laughed at, silenced and then trampled upon - like, what they want and demand from everyone is totally impossible to achieve, or even "ignorant of all the wrongs being done to group X in history".

At least I find, I can't work together with people brain-washed and self-obesessed like that.
(They only want to change to the other side of the table anyway... That's what the character of their acting and their mindset strongly implies.)

Parts of them you even don't want to be seen with because their stupidity and greed is embarrassing as hell.

...Therefore, even if not wanting to subscribe to all that crap that divides everyone, there is no real way around having to surrender to parts of it because the differing social groups in society are so mutually incompatible with each other (also with your own viewpoints) - it's like wanting to make a lion work together with a type of animal that is its natural prey.

Danke, liebe Kleingangster und Assis in den Großstädten, dass jetzt wieder ein genrerelles Feuerwerksverbot auf den Tisch kommt, nur weil ihr zu dumm und zu dreist seid, verantwortungsvoll und wie Erwachsene damit umzugehen!!
Am Ende wird es nämlich wieder so kommen wie immer - der gemeine Bürger gibt eine weitere Freiheit ab, im Glauben, das Versprechen von Sicherheit möge davon Realität werden, schließlich wird es aber doch nicht kommen, weil es solche Leute gibt wie euch, die wissen, wo sie sich ihr Spielzeug auch weiterhin besorgt kriegen, und die Politik ist wieder mal zu dumm, das in ihren Schädel hineinzukriegen - wenn nicht sogar, dass man es ihnen unterstellen möge, dass sie das auch gar nicht beabsichten, sondern dass es nur darum geht, der Bürger, der sich korrekt verhält und und an die Gesetze, darf mal wieder ein Stück weniger.
Weil Politik inzwischen damit ein Problem hat, dass der Bürger überhaupt noch was anderes darf, außer Beifall zu klatschen, der vorgeschriebenen Einheitsmeinung zu folgen und jeden Tag fleißig Geld anschaffen zu gehen wie die Nutten auf dem Strich.
(Anbei, wer sich hat von der Medienhysterie um die "Kugelbomben" vereinnahmen lassen: Das Zeug ist keine illegale Hexenmagie, sondern Profifeuerwerk, was sonst üblicherweise in die Höhe geschossen wird. In mehreren hundert Metern Luft und von nichts weiter umgeben als solcher richten sie keinen Schaden an - wer schon mal bei Feuerwerk bei Veranstaltungen laute Kanonenschläge gehört hat, recht wahrscheinlich wird das genau so eine gewesen sein, weil das eine typische Geräuschkulise von ihnen ist. - Solches Profifeurwerk gehört natürlich nicht in die Fußgängerzone oder in die Hände von irgendwelchen Vagabunden und Kleingangstern, die es "lustig" finden, ihr Viertel damit zu terrorisieren und in ein Schlachtfeld zu verwandeln, dass dem Einschlag von Kriegsmunition danach in nichts nachsteht. - Wenn solche Feuerwerkskörper es in die Hände von Amateuren und Kriminellen schaffen, sollte man weniger die Frage nach einem Verbot von allem privaten Feuerwerk stellen, sondern wo bekommen diese Figuren diese her - und ist man mittlerweile schon längst nicht mehr Herr seiner Unterwelt in den größeren Städten. Können die, die sich daneben benehmen und an keine Regeln außer ihren eigenen halten wollen, mittlerweile dort machen, was sie wollen, es interessiert keinen und es hält sie auch keiner auf? Oder beim Aufhalten - stehen diejenigen, die das auch von Gesetzes wegen machen wollten, ziemlich allein und schutzlos dabei da, sodass sie es aus eigener Bedrohungslage nicht machen?)

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.
matrixmann: (Thinking)
Sometimes you wonder if the people who work for the (mass) media think of themselves like having a little of the touch of a deity. Totally overestimate their role in and for society and the services in practice they deliver.
Because - how could it be otherwise that alpha journalists who are economically relatively safe mindlessly repeat propaganda over and over again aggressively that screams of being such, or even join creating fake shit where it’s obvious later if you see it that it’s made up, that it’s been created, artificially arranged and cut together? If people from the outside can find out without the use of higher science that something is arranged circus, how come that the journalists who report the crap can’t recognize it similarly?
If that’s the case, there’s only one option... That they know they present fake and arranged shit. But they either don’t care or harbor the mentality “the ends justify the means”.
Meaning: They imagine being on a mission from the Lord himself or some sort of that.
Think like they have truth, justice and rightfulness on their side, and what they proclaim is totally unquestionable. Only a fool would dare to do that.

Because - it’s noticeable that acting as a tool of propaganda and war factories isn’t solely done by people who work for the media whose position is in economically precarious conditions, that they have to do that as part of their job because they don’t have the necessary personal freedom to refuse doing something.
Even more it’s being done by people who rather have made it up to the highest ranks, who are in an economically favorable position, who are firmly employed and don’t have to worry so soon about not getting engaged anymore by certain media houses, fired or dropped by the whole “craft” itself because of supposedly “having gone crazy” or “having joined the enemy side/the side of the unreasonable ones”.
So... if you can factually afford refusing, but don’t do it and even hang around at the front of the information war directly, rehashing the crap of the powerful ones or crap that’s supposed to influence the powerful ones (especially from politics), then there is nothing left but assuming a targeted will and belief in the shit that you spread and propagate.
Combined with probably overestimating yourself and your personal role for the ongoings of the world outside of human society, and subscribing to some sort of megalomania “I’m the news content because I make the news content!” (similarly to “I am the law!”) - the same arbitrariness that one can see with people who are self-righteous from the depths of their hearts and are little tyrants below the surface.

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.

Nazisprech mit der Vehemenz würde man nirgendwo so ungestraft stehen lassen, aber offenkundige Misandrie? Scheinbar eine Trivialität. “Habt euch doch nicht so!”, wie man da so sagen würde.
- Und da finde noch einer Gegenargumente zu der Behauptung “Männer werden in der Gesellschaft als Wegwerfware angesehen”... Was ist diese Hassrede sonst, die keinen #Aufschrei erzeugt? Die scheinbar niemanden vom Mainstream bewegt, etwas dagegen zu sagen?

Männer und die Dienste, die sie körperlich wegen ihres höheren Testosteronspiegels leisten können, werden ganz offensichtlich wie selbstverständlich erachtet, es wird als selbstverständlich erachtet, dass sie da sind, und diese Tätigkeiten ausführen - ähnlich wie die Selbstverständlichkeit aus vergangenen Zeiten (in den wohlhabenden Ländern; in denen es die (radikal-)feministische misandrische Propaganda auch gibt), dass zuhause eine Ehefrau da ist, die sich um Heim und Herd kümmert, ungeachtet dessen, ob sie das überhaupt will oder Talent dafür hat, und wenn nicht, dann darf man mit ihr sonstwie umgehen um sie “zu disziplinieren”, bis sie endlich “ihren Pflichten” gegenüber ihrem Ehemann nachkommt.

Kaum anders ist diese misandrische Hetze strukturiert - und, ähnlich wie in vergangenen Zeiten, findet kaum jemand offenkundig etwas falsches daran, respektive, dass äußerst viele im öffentlichen Leben das Maul dem gegenüber halten, aus Angst, selbst der Frauenfeindlichkeit beschuldigt zu werden, weil sie diese Ansammlung an geschlechtsbezogenem Hass nicht in Ordnung finden (von dem sonst behauptet wird, dass er vermeintlich “nicht geduldet” wird), oder - wenn dies von anderen Frauen kommen sollte - irgendwelchen anderen Unsinns wie “Stockholm-Syndrom” und “verinnerlichtem Hass gegen sich selbst und ihr Geschlecht” bezichtigt zu werden.

Anders ausgedrückt: Jeder Zeit sein Gift und Galle, und seine kritiklosen Mitläufer, die Angst vor dem Aufbegehren haben. Ebenso seine Egalität gegenüber dem propagierten haltlosen Hass.

(Offensichtlich ändern sich einige Dinge nie. - Insbesondere die, die von der menschlichen Psyche abhängig sind.)

...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.

If you call things by whitewashed terms or replace them with other, way more sugarcoated words, which shall sail around the core of a subject - officially, to be “inclusive” and stop “discriminating people by language” -, then this is also a method to mask and deny the essence you deal with.
matrixmann: (Thinking)
That feeling when watching anything on TV and having to see the tons of advertising in commercial breaks and finding that they’re an accumulation of trash for the mind, designed with lots of distracting bright colors that call for your attention and empty suggestive messages, even direct unrealistic bullshit content (take the whole cosmetics and “body care” sector as an example for that) - will this ever end?

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.

And, important to note, it's not even dependent on an individual's employment status. People work and have a job, but they're paid too few, compared to the costs of living in their countries, or they get job offers with too few working hours per month (half-time employment and so-called "mini-jobs").
Creating the group of "the working poor" - beside those people who cannot work anymore from old age or health reasons who are being kept on a short leash financially anyway, like undesired eaters sitting at the table that are perceived as "an unnecessary burden".

It is as it has always been: If some figure with a popular name and/or executive power in its hands shows up in TV or other mainstream mass media presenting a story with an emotionally heavily loaded tone, it's time to get skeptic.

Thinking deeper about it, there is a little aspect to point out which surely won’t be irrelevant to the protests against the Covid vaccinations and the conspiracy theories surrounding them all around the world - and in which, bizarrely, these have something in common with the “Fridays For Future” movement:

It’s that if a civilization reached such technological, scientific and cultural heights and masses of general means and gadgets that it starts to forget the very base it stands on.
It takes the safe bubble it created to live in as self-evident and as the original state of nature.
While actually it’s the most unnatural state of things. And you have to do something for it in order to exist.

For example: The effect of vaccines first becomes noticeable if they weren’t given anymore.
If masses of people didn’t receive them.
As vaccines against the famous diseases you can vaccinate against didn’t exist, people died way earlier than today, they died of way more trivial causes, a lot died before they got 18 years old (high rate of child mortality), and people who survived infections with either a virus or bacteria way more often carried lasting damages away from this (often: early childhood) encounter into their adult lives.
This is still the case in places on the earth where these vaccines aren’t available or too expensive for an average person to get.
So when they were invented and people realized infants as well as themselves stopped getting sick and die from those diseases after they were vaccinated, people became clear of a reason to do this for. - No more getting sick, suffering and dying from crap that can be avoided.

A huge example that people of all ages have a personal benefit from is the tetanus vaccination.
Before that, just a single scratch could lead to this type of infection, which in the end paralyzes the nerve tissue that controls muscles in the body and leads to death.
And it’s barely avoidable as the bacterium that causes it lives in nearly everything. It’s everywhere around you.

So so-called “skepticism” and active refusal and even claims like “vaccination is murder” are actually a call to fall back to these circumstances among the population.
How can anyone be so stupid to want that?
Well, the best answer to this is: Because people aren’t aware of why they can lead such a cozy life. Lack of basic education and a lot of manipulative info from sources that function no better than hocus pocus magical crap made to make money that was sold to people in the Middle Ages are to blame for this.

In common with “Fridays For Future” this state of the mind has: Also the members and agitprop activists of this movement aren’t aware of what the order they raise their claims on comes together from.
For example, they take for granted that smartphones exist, that the internet and their platforms to communicate on globally exist, that they live a life on earth where they don’t need to mind neither money nor material if they get sick of something and can simply throw it away as they please.
But all that first needed to be invented, then needs to be fabricated constantly and then needs to be maintained constantly.
Electricity isn’t produced by the wall because the wall is kind of bored and doesn’t know what to do with its time. It’s produced in a power plant, that power plant needs any type of “fuel” or gizmo that moves another gizmo, whose movement generates the electric energy in the end that they take from the wall socket at home. And that needs to be done constantly, not just whenever you want. - Or you’ll have to accept that electric energy isn’t constantly ready to use.
Means of saving energy for later aren’t invented yet, and as it it looks it will be like with rechargeable batteries: It ain’t lossless and the energy saved will vanish over time when not using it. - Unless you’d save the energy compressed in something material that you can easily store and backlog (that would be fossil fuels like coal, gas and petrol, for example).
Not to forget: A power plant producing electric energy first needs to be built in order to serve the purpose to supply you with electricity in the wall socket.

The self-evidence of the presence of the internet is another issue of that umbrella.
The internet comes together by thousands of servers (and, in a simple sense, “computers”), interconnected with each other, running 24/7 all around the year. If you think that you can only switch these on when you need them, then most of the time nobody will be able to read your crap.
Because these computers keep masses of data ready to access for whoever wants to read them at any time of the day. - All the viewers that checked your stuff in the meantime you slept, worked or were at school, they could do that because someone else keeps your data ready and accessible all the time.
If your data didn’t lie on someone else’s server, you’d have to keep your own computer plugged to the net all around the clock, even when you’re absent and not at home, or nobody could read the crap that you post and pay attention to you.

Thousands of computers running at the same time, waiting for somebody to seek a connection with them with his personal computer or cell-phone - anyone who isn’t stupid gets an idea what kind of huge effort that is to keep up every day?
The internet isn’t “simply there”, it’s a complex infrastructure, like a net of tarred roads that you can comfortably drive on, and to be “there”, it needs to be made to come into existence.
Another thing that you have to keep ready to use and cannot just switch on and off whenever you want to use it yourself. The effort made in order to keep it up has to be constantly the same at all times or it won’t work as well as you know it.

Not even to get started on the third example: Their own lifestyle and the lifestyle of the family they live in...
Their parents go to work daily, in most cases don’t share a car because they’ve got to go to two completely different places, their parents don’t work near their home but in other towns and commute, they want to make it to buy a nice house, own a big car, save money so each of their kids can have a driver’s license and an own car as soon as the kids are legally permitted to drive, want 1 or 2 family vacations each year at least - and they don’t want their kids to miss any trend in order to not be socially excluded among their peers.
Last but not least, they also try to save up money from anywhere, on top, to send their kids to university (like university wasn’t something which you have to have the brains first and you can’t tell that from the first day of a child’s life).
All that until the kids get “aware” (their “Fridays For Future”-type of getting “aware”).
Anyone of them who pointed it out to themselves how much of an ecological footprint that already is until they reach “awareness”?
And that’s not even counting their own behavior in this calculation...

Reduced and collected in a short summary that is: No, kiddo, you’re not going to save the world now by going vegan, eating meat-replacement made from soybeans, peas and wheat!
Which, by the way, doesn’t reduce your footprint very much if they actually come from Brazil, like the beef steaks you ate before. (Anyone who praises the meat-replacement products asked where the substance they’re made of comes from?)

And, talking about “recycling”, how about that you wear the clothes of your elder siblings that are still alright - like poor people do?
Or that you use a technical gadget for 10 years or more? Repair it? Tinker around with it, so it can still be of service with new technical standards? Use it until it literally falls apart?
“Learn from the poor” is the correct motto in this issue, just as a reminder, not holding big public speeches and claim whatever the heck comes to your mind from adults how they shall behave.

By the way, skipping school to march on a rally - do these kids have any idea what kind of privilege they throw away thoughtlessly for just a little stomp on the ground of their inconsistent minds?
Kids in Africa and India and whatever places on earth not as rich as the first world dream of going to school instead of having to go to work and already earn some, so the family, including them, has something to eat and doesn’t need to freeze.
School is like the key to a better life, to more life quality and to a better job - and these kids take it so much for granted that they think they can spare it!!
Not even to speak of that they seem to think school without paying hundreds of bucks for it is a world standard!
If their rallies had a connection to something that went wrong in school, but no... it’s about “pointing the adults at doing something to stop climate change”.
Like - next time they go on a strike because the pocket money is too low...

This is social relations, making a plea, not doing something for a certain objective.
And then formulating one’s plea on a pretty high niveau of prosperity. Leaving one’s own role aside, acting like one doesn’t exist and does nothing wrong, but only all other people.

...You see how both have a similarity here?
Avoiding to mind one’s own base of a living, sect-like structures that want to make everyone convert, but they have very few to really say if you check them in the details.
If you fact-check them or check for doability, you find them two live in a dreamy world made of soap bubbles. Harboring an image of the world that doesn’t correspond with the reality.

When do you encounter such phenomena?
Mostly when a civilization is almost at its end. When people forget what their life as they know it is based on and take it for granted that they can eat grapes all day long (figuratively). And, on the other hand, can afford to dive deep down into their human interactions all day long. Be busy with the “he says, she says” and what is the correct way to worship and appreciate whatever the heck.
Act like their human quarrels are the most important thing in the world, like someone is watching and only waiting to interfere and deliver them from their anger towards each other.

(Someone discovers similarities in this description too?)

The path of the warrior can be quite dreadful.
You see a lot of ugly things, experience a lot of betrayal, witness many changes and storms, and you get to feel humans from their various sides. Positive and negative.
Also... you lose a lot of comrades along the way.
People who fight with you for a similar objective or believe in the word you spread, whether they do that for virtuous reasons or for the same shady ones that originally brought you to the battlefield.
They die in battle, they change sides, they split off from your horde because you don’t fight for the right subjects anymore, or they leave because they themselves have abandoned the path of honesty, or they get so severely wounded during the war, so that they can’t go on with the road they have chosen. Also, they might meet a guy/girl in between and settle down because that fulfills them with something that feels larger than continuing a fight whose end cannot be foreseen.

Continuously, along the way, depending on how well it goes, how bad the losses are and who leaves you while carrying on, you keep asking yourself the question whether the path is worth it.
Whether the target of the path is truly worth all you sacrifice for it.
Whether the efforts all pay off, judged by the results you get.
And if it’s practically and morally justified what you do.

Weren’t there other means to achieve the same goal - or something comparable?
Was it necessary to agree to such an ascetic lifestyle?
Could the same ideals be won with fewer losses?
Was everything that had to be done, from your point of view, necessary?
And, at all... do you still continue with the path because of the origins you started it with or did your motives change in between - change into something that more has to do with habit and playing a role voluntarily? Because, meanwhile, you know nothing else what to do with your life?

All that for justifying a continuation before yourself and in front of other people who pose that question to you... For telling you, you’re on a path that feels right to you.

Looking down on the graves of those that have been lost during the war - comrades, civilians, enemy soldiers, innocent victims of the violence, children, even villains -, through the many numbers of them, points the fork whether it’s been enough dead people already or whether their deaths shall not have been in vain...

The path of the warrior itself can be the warning memorial to this mass of devastation - to these existences ended, to the lives spun and twisted along it, to human madness and all the worst abilities and character features mankind can display, to the austerity you have to endure and force upon yourself for it, and to the lasting loss of trust other than in yourself.

Some observation that I have made regarding this current zeitgeist and the mindset of the new young generation (time-wise to be sorted as “Generation Z”):

Previous generations were oriented towards “making it themselves”, achieving something through their own powers and skills, having internalized the rule “there is no gain without effort before”.
They show the tendency, if wanting a particular item or non-material good, to first start to rack their brains how they can get to their goal themselves and do rather ask for help in order to add strength to their own efforts or because someone else might have the direct competence over what they wish.
Problems are regarded as their, and only their, issue and they try to solve it themselves, even if having to dare trying a few times.

While the new young generation (aka “Generation Z”) has a somewhat strange and totally different attitude to take life on.
The most their mindset reminds oneself to a child which constantly heads over to Mom to appeal to her whenever they’re confronted with anything they don’t know or harbor the feeling about that they can’t overcome it through their own abilities.
They quickly reach out for help - but not in order to strengthen their weak powers; they directly want someone else to do the job for them at best. Without having to do or invest anything of their own energy in it.
Also, they quickly give up if something doesn’t work as they have imagined it to. It’s like no-one ever taught them that trying eventually leads to success - by making mistakes, by correcting them the next time, until their dexterity and skill level is high enough so that they can overcome the obstacle or master the task given.
And their imaginations about how something works are also very naive, incomplete, overly idealistic, utopian. Lacking firm knowledge in practical things, as well as what particular entities in this world do and how they are interconnected with each other.

The question of social justice is also very differently understood in their grasp of the human world.
While the previous generation believed in own action and had trust in what their own hands can shape, the new young generation bets on inability to cause influence on their fate through their own powers and believes in systematic predetermination based on one’s flesh. On one’s overall bodily features, one’s inborn desires, one’s national and/or cultural heritage - like talent is everything that makes the shooting star and not honing the raw diamond into a jewel.

Again, features of a situation like a child steadily heading over to Mom and appealing to her to do something for oneself come to show.
Everything is and/or has to be perfect from the start, there is no trying or that trying creates the masterpiece. You are what you are born as and can’t get any step further than that. So the world, instead, has to have regard for you all the time and take into account your inborn features.
It has to deliver you what you need to live and what you desire, like owning something to you for never lending a dime, and if the world doesn’t comply with the claim, it’s evil, oppressive - people who get it even though are “privileged” and not maybe have done something to receive anything back, didn’t deserve it by the efforts of their hands and mind.

In other words, you can also compare it to a dogmatic faith to a deity. The deity gives, the deity takes, but humans themselves are powerless and need to rely on the mercy of the God they worship.
But without the duty to bring up material sacrifices and do everything it takes to have the attention and satisfaction of the deity, so that it will continue to drop gifts to them which they live of.
A total “the sky drops what I need, and if doesn’t drop anything, I’ll wait forever until it does”-mindset. Dependence and unspoken claims that are being mistaken as self-evident in life.

Like a kid which never was allowed to live on its own - also, like a kid which understood that you best make it to your goal if you let other people do the job for you.
And the kids were seemingly born into surroundings and a larger social culture which uncritically complied with that strategy. Which didn’t ever really raise a finger and said “Hey, kid, nothing is for free and you’re already big enough to do something on your own, you’re not in my womb anymore and need extra-protection!”.
Which easily danced according to their pipe, if they learned how to twist people around their little finger safely.

Even their kinds to act out violence seem influenced by this “other people do what I want them to”-circumstance.
While in the previous generation, direct violence and direct duels to settle something were still common, including the unwritten rule of “mercy for the one who lost”, the folks from Generation Z have internalized all imaginable types of passive-aggressive violence: Bullying, deceiving, lying, provoking, offending, frazzling out, hunting one down with online-harassment and photographs etc..
Types of violence that always make them look like they haven’t done anything wrong and the victim is the evildoer if it reacts to their acting or loses it.
And if they practice direct violence, you’ll experience it rather as an unstopped orgy to spill blood - because something like the unwritten rule “mercy for the one who lost” doesn’t exist for them. Empathy for one’s victim doesn’t exist, complete and total destruction is what they seek - and they also greatly underestimate their own physical powers. How quickly their beating and kicking can kill someone or at least harm the person irreversibly for life.

Again, like a mommy’s darling. A spoiled brat which barely ever heard the world say “no” to its wishes, who never learned how to deal with this denial emotionally - with this realization “the world isn’t entirely about me” -, and which, on the other hand, wasn’t taught much of anything how this world actually works. How very, very not bad it is if they have to find something out on their own and that it takes time to become.
Also, which forgets that even mommy is a human being, that she isn’t an unquestionable God, so that she automatically distributes resources and gifts completely fairly.
Meaning, that if claiming social justice on a larger level of society, it’s also going to be carried out by humans and they can all be biased towards or against somebody or a whole group. The firm “universal social justice” that lasts for all days they seek is actually a myth, a dream.
Much rather it’s like a constant fight, a constant struggle for realignment that happens every now and then.

Such is life which requires permanent effort to harvest fruits of success, and not one big new re-arrangement how resources will be distributed and everything will be fine from then.

According to how this young generation is minded and what it demands from the world (socially as well as politically), you can always puzzle together an image of how they must have been raised to become like this...
And - this cannot have been a good base.

If people get so confused about their identity, if they’re male or female, if they have no proper differentiated understanding that they can have psychical shares of both sexes and need a new word for it (like it’s an unknown species that no-one has previously discovered or dared to give a name to), if they are clueless about a personality generally being fluid to a certain extent (that’s what you call “moods”)... Then they cannot have been properly welcomed and introduced to the world.
More than that, they must have been given nothing to orientate by.
Not properly developed, they wander through an endless fog of uncertainty...
Parents who weren’t good at nurturing - society which wasn’t good at delivering clear rules and structures.

Imagine living in a spooky amusement park, and you don’t know what’s right and what’s wrong to take of its rides.
Or what of them may behead you.
That’s what they originally tumbled around in life, and while growing up they have adapted to these surroundings. Adopting the habit to not do anything themselves, or doing it just for the positive reaction they get, and rather try to get other people to do something particular for them who they witness at being more skilled, for example.
Performing the behavior of a little child rather than that of an adult.
Learning how to do all those techniques to pretend, deceive and manipulate which their parents already used to hide and mask the lack in character and cognitive skills they already had.


...If you ask me, if nobody seriously tries to make up for all the stuff this generation missed with them together, you don’t want to see the day when the members of it become parents.
‘Cause they’re going to suck big style and leave behind an even more cognitively and mentally neglected generation than the ones before as a Generation Z.
And, actually, if you’re fair and took it on from the root, you’d also have to sit down with the parents from Generation Y and X over their own personal deficits - because it’s them who bred the generation debated about.
Something must have happened or changed drastically in the surroundings these lived in as adults, from when they were children and teens themselves, so that they raised such kids.

I think I get it why you need these “alternative” or “wider” terms to describe your sex role in society, whose terms for sex (which you mistake with the social sex role aka “gender”) you perceive to be too narrow to include you.

You run after this bullshit from US-style social sciences because the world wasn’t ever a place before to teach you a differentiated way of thinking and understanding about sex - socially as well as physically and psychically. You run after these terms because solely them fetch you from the railway station you’re at inside - lost and mentally confused about yourself as you are.
If someone else did, you’d use their terms instead and regard yourself through this pair of glasses.
It’s not like they’re truly scientific, they just close a gap within what society and public school taught you about life.
By closing this gap, they only become scientific to you, although you sure have no idea of what science truly is like and how it works to generate and validate new knowledge and recognitions...

Uneducated simple small man’s mind. That’s what all this is born from.

And the world doesn’t do a good job of correcting that...
(Because much can be achieved by the plebs remaining intellectually and emotionally as simpleminded as a child, unlike if they individually all have a bit of brains and common sense and can figure things out by themselves, in case of need.)

matrixmann: Perceiving a grain of sand in the desert (I see with the eyes of a hunter)
This year, until now, the temperatures for summer have been slowly ramping up.
That's how it's best and how it should be for nature.
Nobody needs desert temperatures of 40°C already at the beginning of June in Central Europe. (Even if some liked to have that because of their having been talked into "needing sun and warmth" for decades by Western capitalist wealth.)
