When you a) fire the messenger and b) need a long tweet to explain that the numbers are not real - you know you are losing. Just wait. And no Epstein story will come to your rescue, because it’s all part of the same game. That’s why you need to kill that, too.
But they won’t go away, these facts.

Why does the pol. Epstein scandal feel exactly like the sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic Church?First the abuse, then covering up, then only admit what you have to admit, then the bad apple theory, then pay and hope that the public will lose interest. Thrown under the bus: the victims/survivors.

Es war so einfach, immer nur in die USA zu gucken und so ein wenig zu erschauern über die Machenschaften auf der anderen Seite des Atlantik. Und über die Dummheit der Amerikaner herzuziehen. Und zu glauben, dass das nicht (noch einmal) möglich sei in Deutschland. Und jetzt das.

But … both can be right, or not? I only read the quoted passage differently. That does not mean Nietzsche does not ALSO promote the “master” - just differently and openly, free from all bad conscience and ressentiment. I don’t say that this is not as dangerous. But that’s beyond my response here.

Nietzsche does not lament but unmask - often in biting irony - a certain way of thinking, calling out the hypocracy of liberals who still want to be the masters. The passage is anything but a lament … just saying.

Yes. And again, multiple media have failed over the last two days: they determine the reception and claimed USA has “won”. Nobody in America pays attention to the rest, and EU in particular, for more than the 40 seconds that the reports are aired or reported.

The renewable energy revolution is a feat of technology | Rebecca Solnit An energy revolution is underway in this century, though most people have not noticed it

This is how we need to write and talk: fossil fuel is done in this century, no matter what politicians, industry, or billionaires want you to believe.
Now we need to fight for the new way, not against the old one. We want: Clean air, water, energy, and products.

… und dann verschwand der preisgekrönte Bischof Barron wieder aus Münster. Er hätte mit der Fakultät das Gespräch suchen können. Oder sogar auch mit LGBTQI Vertreter: innen. Er hätte alle Möglichkeiten dazu gehabt. Er tat es aber nicht, genauso wenig wie die Pieper Gesellschaft. Ein Armutszeugnis.

Fromm and the early Frankfurt School studied the followers: they called the phenomenon authoritarian character. They studied it in the working class - and then Adorno and team did more in the United States: masochism/subjection to the leader and sadism/humiliation towards weaker persons or groups.

Halbzeit im Frauenfußball. Wieviele Menschen sehen im ZDF die Bilder von hungernden Menschen in Gaza?
Deutschlands Politik macht sich schon viel zu lange schuldig.
Protest dagegen ist überfällig.

Hungernden ist zu helfen. Keine Diskussion, bis sichergestellt ist, dass sie überleben können.

“That is Marco Rubio’s legacy in this story. He became the despot enabler he claimed to hate. First by wrongfully imprisoning and permitting the abuse of people […] And then by using them as pawns in a trade for Americans who had themselves been tortured in Venezuela.”

Migrants at Ice jail in Miami made to kneel to eat ‘like dogs’, report alleges Incident in which migrants were shackled with hands tied one of succession of alleged abuses at jails in Florida

Dear UN,
PLEASE SEND OBSERVERS TO INVESTIGATE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY IN US DETENTION CENTERS.
The arrests and detentions must STOP immediately. ICE cannot guarantee humane treatment.

To the Christians who are willful helpers of torture? Turn, turn, turn.

it's funny that the key defense of trump from his lackeys is that obviously he's too addled and degraded to use a word like "enigma"

Alll the guilt piling up. What will we say in the (hopefully near) future when asked: “But what did you do? Where were you?”
Many will give the Eichmann response: “I followed the orders.”
With that, you can do almost everything to a human being.

But not in our name.

Hope you all stay safe. Shame on the West who has done too little, too late to help and stop this war. But blame is entirely on Russia, every single day. Until they understand that might makes no right.
