Das Einreiseververbot wäre ja nicht mal so tragisch. Übler wirds in allen anderen Bereichen... #Europa muss sich dringend aus den Abhängigkeiten lösen!

Das erinnert mich an den Frosch im Wasser, dessen Temperatur langsam erhöht wird - er reagiert nicht, bis es zu spät ist. Eine Grenze nach der anderen überschreiten - bis man sich in der Diktatur wiederfindet. 🤮

![We succeeded in taking that picture [from deep space], and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam.

Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity -- in all this vastness -- there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us. It's been said that astronomy is a humbling, and I might add, a character-building experience. To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we've ever …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hkzab4uho7bdvsrgdnbur7qv/bafkreig6vj4k4svezmwj4xmbvlfh6idwmwsodd6fw46qskgrcvyoeflnku@jpeg)
