  • It’s sickening how we all share the same bubble of air and a few get to decide on the fate of the planet.

    100% agreed!

    We need a(n international) law against The Superrich & Oligarchs. They are socially disruptive and they wield too much uncontrolled power, which they use in their own interest, usually.

    Also, unfortunately one cannot underestimate humanity’s greed, power-drunkness, jealousy, frail ego, stupidity, etc. If it’s not one morron, it’s another.

    I do believe the majority of humans are OK, so hopefully we will soon get there.















  • Ukraine did what they had they to do. It’s only commendable how fast Ukraine did it, and how long they have lasted. Now they are strategically withdrawing following the flow of war and recent events.

    Also quote: " We have no wish to occupy this territory,” Zelenskyy’s aide Mykhailo Podolyak told the Guardian in late August. “Our tasks are to push Russian artillery and other systems further away, destroy the warehouses and other military infrastructure that is there, and also to affect public opinion in Russia.”

    (ed): Found recently this explanation Ukraine matters YT




  • nationalists/fascist

    Yep, they will use anything any book, song, symbol, idea, technology, and appropriate it for their nefarious horrific (genocidal) ends.

    Like probably many people know, the swastika was appropriated by Hitler from an ancient indo Euroasian symbol for lifeforce, happiness and sanctaty.

    But yes , I agree, if that’s the point: no sane person would use that symbol or other associated ones anymore.

    Because the meaning and the charge it now has. Same goes for songs and lyrics, especially in these trying sceptical times. We must remain watchful.

    So no disrespect was intented, nor was it meant as glorification of fascism. I was maybe naively so, in the mindset of a United Europe atmosphere.

    added: just realised that as geopolitics are changing dramatically, it does fuel a more national European sense of belonging.

    This feeling triggers our Trauma with Fascism ofcourse, and invokes rational and logical fears of a fascist resurgence. Especially in the light of the extreme right. It is hard to find yourself in the position were you wish to protect and defend your way of life, culture, identity, borders, friends and family, whilst not fearing becoming a monster yourself.

    We have come a long way since ww 2, and we need to defend and guard our hard earned Human Rights and equality based society, empathy, and democratic values & lifestyle, on all levels. So this goes for the individual, regional and European, and all other levels.


  • add>“Fortress Europe” is too tightly associated with fascism

    Interesting, never crossed my mind I know of the phenomena. Hell, just 100 m from where I live, entire streets & houseblocks were leveled as part of the Atlantic Walle (#1) The area was later rebuild as a large street with parks.

    When I first saw the video I was sceptical because militaire propaganda is often associated with fascism. The content maker has probably the right intention but it still needs streamlining. There is another vid in his chanel that suddenly mentions China as our partner of democracy?!. So there are some weird things.
