I absolutely love the argument that this is somehow due to European warmongering. When the Cold War was over, Europeans couldn't wait to destroy their militaries and if it weren't for Russian aggression, the entire EU put together would probably make like 7 tanks a year

«Wir dachten, bei uns könne so etwas nicht passieren» - wie die Demokratie langsam stirbt
Sechs Lektionen von Menschen, die erlebt haben, wie die Demokratie schwindet.
Während der Recherche fragte ich einen Juristen, der in einer Diktatur lebt, was er beim Blick auf die USA heute denke. "Ich fühle mich wie ein Zeitreisender, der aus der Zukunft kommt und weiss, was als nächstes passieren wird".

Einst war die Omar-al-Mukhtar-Strasse die Lebensader von Gaza, das zeigen Videos. Heute sieht sie komplett anders aus.

Yeah, this whole "is it fascism or not? Authoritarian or not?" might sound like an academic discussion. Then again...

Afroamerikaner suchen in Ghana ihre Wurzeln und wandern aus. Dann beginnen die Probleme.
Eine Geschichte von afrikanischen Königen und schwarzen Siedlern in Afrika, die sagen: «Sie sehen uns hier als Weisse in einem schwarzen Körper.»
Tausende Afroamerikaner wandern nach Ghana aus. Weil sie hier etwas zu finden hoffen, was sie nie gehabt hatten: Wurzeln, eine Geschichte und eine Heimat, in der sie nicht wegen ihrer Hautfarbe auffallen und benachteiligt werden.
Was davon kann ihnen Ghana wirklich geben?

Total domination does not allow for free initiative
in any field of life, for any activity that is not entirely predictable. Totali-
tarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of
their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence
and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.u
This seems like a good time to remind folks of what Hannah Arendt once wrote:

The United States of Fear
For anyone who’s in the president’s crosshairs—or who could be—it’s the dominant emotion of Trump’s second term.
🚨More news, this time from Isaac Stanley-Becker. Excellent and important reporting about fear and capitulation as defining qualities of the new Trump era: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Are Body Weight Exercises Just as Effective as Lifting?
You can get the same workout and build strength without heavy equipment. But it takes work.
"An epidemiological study of weight training injuries leading to ER visits over a 17-year period found that the most common mechanism of injury was a weight being dropped on the victim." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/w...
