Catching up with #curling but I still can't find that one great meme, so let me recreate it.
After 5 minutes: This is boring, why do people watch this.
After 10 minutes: Their two in the house mean nothing because they're ripe for a hit and roll...
After 20 minutes: SWEEP, MOTHERF*CKER, SWEEEEEP!!!

Die Rechten müssen ihren Wahn einer "Remigration" auch gar nicht in die Realität umsetzen, um Schaden anzurichten. Die Drohung reicht, um eine Klassengesellschaft zu verfestigen.
Realität war nie deren Maßstab.

Re: #kriegstüchtig
Wie es in konservativen/libertären Kreisen steht, kann ich schwer beurteilen. In der linken Bubble gibt es eine in Teilen nachvollziehbare Haltung
"Für dieses ungerechte, de-facto oligarchische Land halte ich doch nicht den Kopf hin", und Merz adressiert das nicht adäquat.

Der #Lifestyle von Oligarchen ist der Hauptgrund für meine Zweifel an nachhaltigem/grünen #Wachstum. Wenn klimaneutraler Wohlstand möglich, aber nur etwas teurer wäre, hätten Milliardäre doch den kleinsten #CO₂ Fußabdruck. (Oder es sind allesamt psychopathische Ärsche, denen die Menschheit egal ist)

Plato, CA. 375 BCE:
"And what manner of government do you term oligarchy?
A government resting on a valuation of property, in which the rich have power and the poor man is deprived of it.

It's an absolutely wild convention that in classical music, the title is usually just the first line. Like Mozart's "Der Hölle Rache" (Hell's Vengeance)

In German criminal #law, there is an interesting concept called "Tätige Reue" (active repentance). To be (partially) spared punishment for the bad you have done, you need to have put in your best efforts to mitigate the damage after the deed. 1/2

And actually, there is nothing more to draw or comment on here for me.
The government lies, oppresses, and kills because it wants to spark an uprising. Because it obviously has no exit strategy. Because it knows otherwise it would end up in court and behind bars. That‘s it, that is the whole story.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I hate what I see in the #US. This is truly some 1930s Germany shit, but this time, Hitler has a more powerful military than the rest of the world combined.

Schaut euch an, wer sich gerade in #Minneapolis #Minnesota mutig den bewaffneten Gewalttätern von ICE entgegenstellt.
Und dann schaut euch an, auf welcher Seite die toxische Männlichkeit steht.

Da toxische Männlichkeit überhaupt der Grund ist, weshalb es zum Kriegsfall kommt, ist das Argument nicht so stark wie er sich das im Elfenbeinturm ausgedacht hast.

Das neue Video aus Minneapolis zeigt eine Hinrichtung. Eine Zusammenfassung des Videos: Mehrere Agenten schlagen auf einen Mann ein, ringen ihn zu Boden, einer schlägt ihn mit seiner Pistole. Der 1. Schuss fällt, der Mann sackt zu Boden. mehrere Schüsse werden auf den leblosen Körper abgegeben.

Yeah. "This isn't who we are" is a useful rallying cry with moral weight to it. It's fine if it's meant as "this is not how we see ourselves" rather than "this is not what our history has been," the latter being erroneous but also not really the point anyway, the point is who we want to be.
I think a big part is just, some people mean “this isn’t what I want America to be”, not “this isn’t what America has been”. Those words can mean either, and perhaps we can distinguish between them by assuming others using the words differently are coming from a different linguistic tradition.

Ich las zuletzt die "Diskurse" von #Machiavelli. Vieles davon ist heute natürlich nicht mehr zu rechtfertigen. Aber er hat beschrieben, dass sich eine #Republik nicht frei von Unterdrückung behaupten kann, wenn die Bevölkerung "verderbt" ist, also den Willen zur Selbstbestimmung verloren hat.
