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.

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.

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.)

Escalation continues.
The downward spiral keeps on heading further down.
Consumer prices explode - and polititians behave like fools in trying to combat them.
While actually not really trying to fight them.

Winning a war, protecting the world climate, preventing an economic recession from happening, and keeping up the growth - all of this, they want to achieve at once.
While ignoring the technical (im-)possibilities to do so and, even the more, how much these targets altogether contradict themselves and cannot be unified.

Some more big names die and leave the world - like rats leaving a sinking ship?
Or just their time having run out - and it just happens at the right moment to still depart in happiness and not see how the world goes down...

Wishful thinking continues to conquer the human brains all over the world,
narrowing the corridor of their sight - fueling aggression and dogmatic thinking.
Valuing some rules or standards higher than the practice that comes attached to them - and which may require an adjustment of the rules because of their unworldly overidealistic absoluteness that no-one can truly live.

It's almost like the human behavior itself wants to say "we're too many here on this planet to be able to live as lavishly as we want to"...

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.

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.

Judging from the amount of frequency, one comes to pity that man... Because he must be the most overworked agent of a secret service around the world.

An alle, die aktuell für eine Revision der jetzigen Energiepolitik sind und für die Wiederaufnahme der Beziehungen mit Russland eintreten bzw. auf der Straße demonstrieren gehen:

Soweit wie die Dinge inzwischen fortgeschritten sind, muss euch leider auch klar sein, dass es inzwischen nicht mehr nur mit einer Bitte um Verzeihung und einen Bußgang nach Canossa getan ist, um die alten Rohstofflieferungen und die dazugehörigen günstigen Konditionen wieder zurückzubekommen.
Mittlerweile muss man Russland schon etwas (an)bieten, damit von Seiten Gazproms überhaupt die Initiative erfolgt, das Angebot für solche Verträge wieder zu unterbreiten.
Solch große Schäden hat das Verhalten der Ampel-Koalition inzwischen verursacht.

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!

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

May it not be that the community of the so-called “Western states” miscalculated in a very high degree in this issue?

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.

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

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

Fuck you, people, FUCK YOU!
And fuck your stupid claims to care about people who die through firearms!
You're just a bunch of clowns in town!
