Wartime

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?)

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.)

Gestern konnte man nun eine Kostprobe davon erhalten, was Silvester gänzlich ohne Feuerwerk wäre (weil inzwischen politische Forderungen dafür unter dem Deckmantel des Umweltschutzes aufgetaucht sind)...

Man muss sagen, dafür, dass der Feuerwerksverkauf der Ab-18-Ware verboten wurde und lediglich vorher Tisch- und Jugendfeuerwerk verkauft werden konnte, wurde doch noch moderat viel geknallt. In den Straßen in den Stunden zuvor als auch zu Mitternacht. - Wohlgemerkt, gemessen daran, dass niemand irgendwas haben sollte.
Wo die Leute das her hatten - und nein, Polen kommt nicht in Frage; deren "schlagkräftiges" Fabrikat ist ja sehr berühmt-berüchtigt und daher erkennbar -, ist einem etwas schleierhaft. Das kann wirklich nur im Keller vom letzten Jahr gelegen haben - selbst der stetige Aushelfer für alles namens "Amazon" zeigte einem bei Suchanfragen nicht das entsprechende an. Diese Option fällt daher als Quelle auch aus.

Was als Veränderung aber auch spürbar war: Diejenigen, die zu spätererer Uhrzeit in der Dunkelheit überhaupt zum Knallen durch die Straßen zogen, auffallend oft war angeheitertes Gegröhle darunter; sogar eine Vuvuzela und Fußballtröten kamen zum Einsatz. Es wirkte vielmehr als wenn ein Spiel der Nationalmannschaft stattfindet.

Die übliche Geruchskulisse wollte sich zu Mitternacht auch nicht einstellen.

Über den Tag hingegen wirkte es auffallend ruhig. Hier oder da vereinzelt mal ein Knallkörper hörbar.
Für den Tag des Jahres regelrecht gespenstisch; als wenn nichts besonders los wäre, als wenn es ein ganz gewöhnlicher Tag im alltäglichen Mausgrau wäre.

Angesichts dessen, sollte man die Frage stellen: Sollte man es sich gefallen lassen, das Feuerwerk zu Silvester dauerhaft verbieten zu lassen (nicht bloß wegen Corona)?
Viele berufen sich dabei auf die Umwelt und dass es besser für die Haustiere ist, die, angesichts der Geräuschkulisse, jährlich durchdrehen, weil sie nicht wissen und verstehen, was draußen los ist.
Auf der anderen Seite muss man aber auch erwidern: Dieser eine Tag produziert so viele giftige Dämpfe und erzeugt CO2 - wie vergleicht sich diese Menge zur täglichen Pendlerei zur Arbeit rund ums Jahr?
Alles mögliche, was CO2 erzeugen könnte, wird inzwischen in Frage gestellt, ob man sich das noch leisten kann, aber die größten Quellen von stetigem CO2-Ausstoß - Arbeitspendlerei und Wegfahren/Wegfliegen um Urlaub machen -, diese bleiben nach wie vor unangetastet. Und wehe dem, der dies doch tut!

An dieser Stelle nimmt die Problematik eine sehr heuchlerische Komponente an - um nicht zu sagen: Es wirkt auf das bloße Auge, als wenn alle Geschichten über den "Kapitalismus in der Endstufe" doch wahr sind.
Denn, nahezu alles, was den Menschen noch Vergnügen bereiten könnte, wird in Frage gestellt und geliebäugelt, ob man es nicht verbieten oder sehr streng regulieren könnte und sollte.
Doch hingegen Schuften tagtäglich und die Umweltverbrechen, die dabei begangen werden, diese werden hingegen nie ein Thema. Sind quasi wie ein Dogma, das es nicht umzustoßen gilt. Arbeiten soll der Mensch - und das nicht zu knapp -, aber vergnügen soll er sich bitteschön nicht mehr. Es könnte ja alles potentiell gefährlich sein - wohl eher potentiell "gefährlich für seine Arbeitskraft". Der Mensch könnte ja einen Tag nicht zur Verfügung stehen, weil er sich erholen muss... Oder er könnte ja auch nur eine Minute zu viel von seiner Existenz einem anderen Thema widmen als sich abzurackern und verkaufbare Ware zu produzieren.

So etwas hat tatsächlich etwas von "man schafft seine Sitten und Gebräuche ab" - nicht zugunsten der Umwelt, sondern damit ein weiteres Stück des Menschen einem anderen Menschen gehört, der ihn nur als Werkzeug, als Mittel zum Zweck, um etwas bestimmtes zu erreichen, benutzen will, und ihn auf diesen bloßen Zweck reduziert. Dem er als Person völlig egal ist, deren Schlechtergehen er sogar bewusst in Kauf nimmt, so lang nur das für ihn dabei herausspringt, was er haben will.

(This is a text trying to draw back attention to something which has totally dropped into oblivion during all the modern discourse about “gender”, but which once had and still has its legitimation in the spectrum of sex.
It should be also taken as a reminder why slight non-conforming mustn’t be taken as an indicator to being “trans” and having to undergo the way of changing one’s physical appearance in order to get happy again and become able to manage one’s life.)

Addition to this one here: https://matrixmann.dreamwidth.org/262809.html


Since the adoption of John Money’s definition of “gender”, and by that the misconception of mental sex being something that one gets nurtured into, the science about human sex has very much shifted from recognizing different degrees and motivations for sex non-conforming to focusing on transsexuals - people who can’t live with their nature-given physics because their mental sex is psychically wired opposed to that.
This you can even legitimately call “transgender ideology” or “transgender industry” - because, whenever an individual shows behavior and thinking patterns non-conforming with the established figures for “what a man is like” and “what a woman is like” in its respective culture, it doesn’t show accepting of that in the context frame of the person’s original physical and mental sex; it very quickly gets to telling people “you’re “trans””, even if the person in question never even heard of that word before or never considered itself to be “trans”.
In other words: That’s the more formal and more differentiated wording for the modern phenomenon when people appear to “get pressured” into adopting a trans identity and when they undergo reassignment, they find they don’t get happier with their lives.

What happened there exactly is that: Someone who isn’t actually “trans” got pressured (by whatever entities) to feel so because those entities wouldn’t accept him/her in in his/her sex identity, they’d negate it to that individual out of a similarly narrow-minded view about sex which they hold as a reproach against conservatives.
Like “there can’t be a non-alpha-male or even sissy version of a man; if he is, then he’s actually a female” or “there can’t be a butch version of a woman; if she is one, then she’s actually a man”.
Doesn’t that structure of the world sound a little familiar?
Right, many people with a non-average character may know such things as insults from the school yard.
That’s actually also how primitive this way of thinking is.

“Trans” people rather took these “insults”, if they got to hear it back then, as a compliment, and get insane from a modern society that tolerates and even accepts everything, without ever drawing a line where femininity and masculinity begin, always denying them the recognition “okay, here is where one of the two ends, I get it that you’re positioned on the other side of the spectrum”.

But people who instinctively aren’t “trans” or who are still insecure about themselves, about their own personality, for those this way of talking becomes toxic - because they get influenced, talked into and perhaps even pushed into thinking patterns and patterns to feel which they actually originally don’t have. This sends them on an odyssey which is damned to lead them to no additional happiness.

The core point that could help here is remembering that old term called “transvestism”, which hadn’t been coined just for nothing.
“Transvestism” means all people who like to dress and behave like the opposite sex (fully or in parts), but without wanting to modify their body via drastic measures such as surgeries or hormones or feeling instinctively dysphoric about it.
This also includes all people who adopt “parts” in general from the “world” of the opposite sex - like specific pieces of clothes, specific items that one sex tends to use more often than the other, fields of personal interest - and integrate them into their lives without that causing them to feel unwell in their born sex (physically and mentally).
A specific term that was once introduced here in the scientific field was “cross-dressing”, but that just covers only a small field of the entirety. (Especially the forms of cross-dressing that only apply to females, for the most part, don’t get regarded this way anymore these days due to differing cultures having accepted the view of a woman dressed in something else than a dress or skirt - without negating her sex because of that.)

Ganz profanes Thema: Die Wälder sind inzwischen wieder reichlich trocken... Und im Gegensatz zu den vorherigen Jahren, würde ich sagen, beeinflusst es dieses Mal auch das Grünwerden der Bäume im Allgemeinen.
Der letzte große Regen ist Wochen her - und es wirken nach wie vor die letzten 2 Mangeljahre nach.

“Let me tell you something about hate.
If you let it become the golden thread of your life - if you let it take control of you and occupy every corner of your mind, then you’ll get blind to what life has else to offer. There will be no sense left inside of you that knows joy, that knows tears, sadness, relaxation or empathy for anyone. Additionally, everyone around you who doesn’t agree with your stance, you’ll regard them as just another enemy. - Expendable and unworthy of even just breathing.
You gonna be the slave to your hate, serving it like a dark Draconian lord - executing his will blindfold, never questioning his motivations and never questioning the legitimation of his judgment.
Therefore, beware of getting drawn into this dark hole! Untameable wrath coupled with resentment has the power to make you become willing to sacrifice yourself for shit and the life of innocent people - to commit quasi-religious hocus pocus blood-sacrifices just for the sake of a bubble that only exists in your own head and that only matters to you in regard of the course of the world.
In other words: You can hate something as much as you want, still it’s not gonna matter to more than just a few folks at most and guaranteed it’s not gonna make the earth stop spinning. You’re trapped in your own cosmos and you’re still stuck with your personal insignificance to the rest of all existence.”

The time period of drought starts up again in Central Europe this year... Just for the note.

What may the stars sometimes think about this here, if they were creatures?
"Mankind, you're not worth it!"?
Or would they just give no damn, acting like "we have a lot of time to pass, your existence is nothing more than a little note in the logbook of our thousands of years lasting course..."?

One's always adapted to the circumstances one has grown up with and is currently surrounded with.
So, if someone asks "why can't you perform X?!" or "why do you do X now?!", then he should keep the thought "What have your parents taught you?" in the back of his head and similar.

Die etablierten Medien zeigen sich in diesen Tagen wieder einmal von ihrer "allerbesten" Seite... Eine Rettung von Kindern aus einer Höhle in Thailand wird wieder mal ausgeschlachtet bis auf jeden Krümel, dass die Schwarte kracht (ist diese Floskel neuerdings eventuell beleigend gegen Schweine?). Und wenn es nichts neues an Fakten zu erzählen gibt, dann fängt man zwischendurch mit der Kaffeesatzleserei an und spekuliert sich Löcher in die Luft.

Gab es da nicht auch mal in den vergangenen Jahren ein paar verschüttete Minenarbeiter in irgendeinem südamerikanischen Land? Erinnert sich einer noch an diese?

Krampfhaft müssen die etablierten Medien scheinbar nach irgendeiner Story suchen, damit man die eigene Nützlichkeit und Daseinsberechtigung erneuern kann, das Sommerloch füllt und so tut als ob man ernsthaft arbeitet. Scheinbar gibt es daheim keine ernsthaften Probleme (z. B. anhaltende Dürre in Nord- und insbesondere großen Teilen Ostdeutschlands), mit denen man sich beschäftigen könnte, oder es macht wieder zu viel Arbeit, mit der man nicht so schnell eine schnelle Mark mit machen kann. Strapazenlose Arbeit - das ist gesucht. Eine Dopingstory, die noch zum Ende der Fußball-WM Russlands Ansehen wieder beschädigt, hat anscheinend noch niemand gefunden, also muss irgendwas anderes her... Für die Zwischenzeit.

Und dabei wird auch gleich wieder die ganze Latte an Theatralik und Kitsch abgefeuert.
Es wird wieder im Akkord von "Wundern" gesprochen, als hätte der Mensch es nicht allein hinbekommen, oder plötzlich ging ein Licht über ihnen auf und Scotty hat sie herausgebeamt.
Braucht man es in diesen Tagen so sehr, stets und ständig von irgendwelchen göttlichen Akten zu sprechen, die keine waren, oder sind das nur die üblichen Versuche, ein paar Leute einzulullen? Sich in Extase versetzen so lang bis die Sinne so betäubt sind, dass jeder Schlag mit dem Holzhammer keine Reaktion mehr erzeugt?
Oder braucht man irgendwas, um jemanden Glauben zu machen, dass doch noch ein paar gute Dinge in der Welt passieren - und dann tut man wieder so, als ob es die Gnade irgendwelcher überirdischen Umstände wäre, also dass doch die Welt der Menschen in dieser Zeitepoche scheiße ist? (Wäre sie gut, dann bräuchte man keine übernatürlichen Umstände, damit zur Abwechslung mal was gutes passiert...)

Anstelle ihres dummdreisten Herumgewunders und Herumspekulierens sollten sie einfach die beteiligten Leute in Ruhe ihre Arbeit machen lassen und diejenigen, die betroffen sind, in Frieden lassen! Sich von ihrem Martyrium erholen lassen!
Bist du gerade dem Erstickungstod in so einer Höhle entkommen und dann jagt dich eine Horde Kameras, als hättest du Elvis wiedergesehen...
Oder - hast du das getan, was das natürlichste in der Welt wäre, dich nützlich zu machen und zu helfen wie du kannst, macht dich einer plötzlich zum Überhelden, als hättest du den Mond auf die Erde geholt (oder was anderes völlig utopisches)...

Darum: Es ist wieder mal beleidigend und äußerst schamlos, was da von Medienseite betrieben wird.
Ein paar Journalisten und Korrespondenten scheinen mal wieder vor der Arbeitslosigkeit zu stehen, darum müssen sie sich wieder auf so eine Geschichte stürzen wie die Aasgeier.
Auf der anderen Seite - von seiten derjenigen, an die sie sich verkaufen können - gibt es eine Menge anderer Dinge, von denen man wieder lächelnd ablenken muss. Es ist zu mühsam und anstrengend, sich damit zu beschäftigen - und überhaupt, man muss dann einer ganzen Menge Leute wieder viel unangenehmes als Juwelen verkaufen.
Bei solch einer irrsinnigen Menge an Mist im Umlauf wie gerade wird das beizeiten schon schwer, ohne mit einer Tomate oder einem Ei im Haar nach Hause zu gehen, weil es einem sowieso nur noch die Dümmsten und die Naivsten glauben.
Will man diesen fruchtlosen, undankbaren Job übernehmen? Freiwillig inzwischen wohl niemand mehr.
Also - irgendwo nach Balsam für die Seele suchen. Kommt gut an und den kann man auch selbst gut gebrauchen...
