  • Ach, Sachsen machen das mit Agressivität oder Sarkasmus wieder wett.

  • Er war betrunken und er roch nach Schweiß.

  • Ich halte das für ziemlich unwahrscheinlich. Der nächste Schritt ist dann VPN-Dienste zu verbieten und damit ist das Geschäftsmodell komplett weg. Vorstöße in diese Richtung gibt es bereits and verschiedenen Lobbyfronten.

  • For example, most religions tend to accept suffering and poverty as a given, as a test or as something that in general is by design. Assigning virtue to being oppressed ...

    Islam acknowledges poverty and wealth to be given in the sense that it is not by the virtue or failing of the individual that he or she is rich/poor. This is contradicting the neoliberal mantra, that it is totally the individuals fault and thereby justified.

    Furthermore it is the duty of the rich to help the poor and it is the right of the poor upon the rich to be helped by them.This is why mandatory donations for the wealthy are an obligation equal to prayer and fasting.

    God tests people with poverty and with wealth. Also Islam with its prohibition of interest is incompatibile with capitalism. Christianity and Judaism also prohibit interest, but a millenia long effort to twist the prohibition away eventually suceeded.

    If in millennia every religion ever has been used to crystalize a power hierarchy in humanity (from the clergy to caste systems), maybe there is a reason. And the reason is that religious thinking and mindset inherently enables these hierarchies.

    Again you are describing institutionalization. On the contrary if someone is steadfast in their belief, they will obey God and not the worldly leaders, if those demand something in violation of the faith. This also creates a measure for the legitimacy of leaders that cannot be set by the leaders themselves. So what the historical and current leaders are doing is to try to corrupt existing religious institutions or build institutions so they can be corrupted. The hierarchy is inserted into the religiom by existing hierachies.

    To further argue that point. What became of Soviet Russia? Maos China? Eastern Germany? All the other Warsaw pact countries? All of them were hostile to religion on a range from surveillance and coercion to death squads murdering clergy by the tens of thousands and razing places of worship down to the foundations.

    Authoritarianism finds any tool to impose unjust hierarchies. And it creates its own idols to worship. Be it the market, the great chairman, the 5 year plan, the supreme race, the expanding imperium..

    All these idols share one crucial aspect. They are geared towards material aspects in this world. And this is a great weakness of communist revolutionary thought. It chains itself to compete with the capitalists in the struggle for capital accumulation and distribution. Thereby communist thought is enslaving the working class to remain producers and consumers.

  • Ich denke nicht, dass man die Zeugen Jehovas als Grundlage für eine Verallgemeinerung nehmen kann.

  • Die Zeitung verweist darauf, dass die Nutzung von VPN-Diensten im Vereinigten Königreich nach Inkrafttreten der Vorgaben massiv zugenommen hat. Wer die nutzt, um damit auf Pornowebseiten zuzugreifen, würde für Similarweb nicht mehr Großbritannien zugeordnet. In welchem Ausmaß das geschieht, sei unklar.

    Das wäre die interessanteste Metrik. Kann man das irgendwie statistisch erfassen, wieviel jetzt über VPNs läuft?

  • As i have written:

    What we have seen over the last century is the result of deliberate meddling by outside imperial forces that promoted wahabism and other extremist strands twisting Islam into being a tool of oppression and riddling it with hypocrisy.

    To your statement:

    Religion is a form of institutionalized control and oppression, and as such is a fundamental enemy of the working class.

    A common argument is that Jesus would be a socialist by todays definitions, condemning the corruption of the rich and sitting with the poor. The prophet Mohamed, blessing and peace be upon him, was persecuted by the polytheists because Islam was challenging their business model surrounding the idol worship and they tried to coopt him into furthering their economic agenda. Moses was liberating his entire people from enslavement under the Pharaoh. The Abrahamic prophets all fought injustice and corruption in their society.

    I agree with you that the institutionalization is an issue, but that is an issue of the particular institutions, not the religion itself.

  • Glaubst du wirklich, dass religiöse Menschen "ohne auch nur einen funken nachzudenken" glauben? Glaubst du, dass all die Theologen und Philosophen, für die die Existenz jenseits der beobachtbaren Welt lange Zeit selbstverständlich war, alle nie einen Funken darüber nachgedacht haben, was sie bezüglich dessen sagen?

  • Milliarden religiöse Menschen leben ein normales Leben und haben normale soziale Kontakte jenseits von Konfessionsgrenzen.

    Religion oder Spiritualität sind häufig Motvie, die von Kulten genutzt werden, und man muss damit vorsichtig sein. Es zu pauschalisieren ist jedoch falsch.

    Du würdest auch nicht sagen, dass jeder der gerne mit Rust programmiert, Arch-Linux benutzt oder einen Blahaj zu Hause hat, Teil eines Kultes ist. Oder?

  • Die Kirche sagte: Männer finden es attraktiv, wenn du wie ein kleines Mädchen klingst. Du sollst süß klingen; auch wenn du wütend bist. Und du sollst kokett und wie ein kleines Mädchen sein. Das haben wir Frauen in der Gemeinde befolgt. Wir haben uns infantilisiert. Wir taten das, weil wir nicht abgelehnt werden wollten. Aber wenn ein Mann will, dass du wie ein Baby klingst, sollten bei einem vernünftigen Menschen die Alarmglocken schrillen. Eine erwachsene Frau sollte nicht wie ein Baby klingen. Aber das habe ich damals gar nicht hinterfragt.

    Bruuh...

    Das erinnert mich an eine Begebenheit von vor ca. 15 Jahren oder so. Ein Betrunkener hat mich in der U-Bahn angequatscht und sich darüber aufgeregt, dass heutzutage so viele Frauen im Intimbereich rasiert sind. Er meinte, das sähe aus wie Mädchen und nicht wie Frauen und das sei falsch. Da ich selber Teenager war, war es definitiv falsch von ihm, micht mit sowas zuzulabern, aber es scheint eine seltene Weisheit seines Lebens zu sein.

  • Labour won in a landslide after the Brexit mess rightfully fucked up the Tories. They do this because they aren't center left, but a right/far-right party by their ideology now. They don't have to do this. They want to do this.

    The "Labour/Social Democratic" parties all over Europe have been sliding into right/far-right authoritarianism and Racism over the past decades, after many of them slided into Neoliberalism at the end of the 90s and in the 2000s.

  • You would have to cut off the UK government and politicians from the rest of the worlds politicians, rather than cutting off the internet though. The idea to make these authoritarian laws is the contagious problem, not the people using the internet.

  • you have mosques kicking off every morning,

    Have you ever been to Southern and Central Europe? Churches ringing their bells every day. Villages being mostly dark at night, with the church being shined on with a dozen spotlights. Religious festivities including parades around holidays. Priests and Nuns casually walking in the streets.

    Islam is noticeable in everyday life everywhere (to the extent that I feel that you have a substantially higher religious freedom in Europe as a muslim),

    As you can see with the statement above, the fact that religion is "noticeable in everyday life everywhere" has nothing to do with religious freedom.

    and if you do something that is socially (and therefore religiously - as there’s a nonexistent division between church, states and culture here) risque, you can also gtfo. so what?

    Islam is quite accommodating and tolerant to other religions. Religious minorities enjoy protection and are allowed to practice their ways even when it contradicts Islamic law, such as Christian being permitted alcohol. What we have seen over the last century is the result of deliberate meddling by outside imperial forces that promoted wahabism and other extremist strands twisting Islam into being a tool of oppression and riddling it with hypocrisy.

    Also we see how religious minorities are instrumentalized to start divisions and civil wars in places like Syria and Lebanon. Areas where Christians and Jews have lived for Millennia and built vibrant communities, with religious tensions being the rare exception. Or looking at Iberian Peninsula, where the Jewish community fared well for centuries under Islamic governance, until the Christian conquerors slaughtered them and forced them into conversion and hiding like the Muslims.

    Finally the western nation state model is incompatible with Islamic governance, but again was imposed upon Muslim majority countries.

  • About 20-30% of the people enslaved and deported to the US were Muslims.

    The "Christians" brought Islam to North America by force.

  • From the article:

    According to Joseph Scuderi, the concept of train-track solar is not new. What is new, he said, is this pilot’s panels can be removed by sliding them over, making maintenance work more affordable.

    “This is very important because every three or four years you have big maintenance on the tracks and if you have PV panels installed with screws you cannot do that,” he said. “So, this removable system is very important for railway infrastructure.

  • Willst du mir jetzt ernsthaft andichten, dass ich Nazipositionen verteidigen würde, weil ich Siedlerkolonialismus, wie er unter anderem von den Nazis in Polen betrieben wurde, ablehne?

    Den zweiten und dritten Satz hast du dabei anscheinend überlesen, daher noch mal:

    Dazu kommt im Fall des zweiten Weltkrieges noch, dass dieser nicht nur durch Deutschland angefangen wurde, sondern sogar durch den deutschen Überfall auf Polen. Damit hat Polen als Verteidiger gegenüber dem Angreifer noch mal eine besonders berechtigte Stellung.

    EDIT: Zur Problematik der "Vertriebenen" Deutschen finde ich zweiAussagen interessant. 1. Aus dem taz Artikel:

    Also sprach Franz Josef Strauß (CSU) im Februar 1970: „Ich weigere mich, den Untergang des Deutschen Reiches durch eine Politik des Ausverkaufs ohne Gegenleistungen zu besiegeln.“

    Damit zeigt sich, dass das deutsche Reich offenbar in den Köpfen führender Westdeutscher Politiker noch fortbestand, woraus sich auch implizit die Intention ableiten lässt, erneut die europäischen Nachbarn überfallen zu wollen.

    Und 2. aus dem Wikipediartikel

    Die Zahl derjenigen Deutschen, die als „vertrieben“ erfasst werden, hängt zunächst von der Frage ab, was unter dem „Vertreibungsgebiet“ verstanden wird. So wurden die ca. 250.000 Deutsche, die in den ersten Jahren nach Kriegsende aus Dänemark nach Deutschland umgesiedelt wurden, ebenso wie die ca. 225.000 Menschen, die 1946 als aus Österreich, der Schweiz, Frankreich, Italien und den Benelux-Staaten stammend registriert wurden, später statistisch als Vertriebene gezählt. Etwa die Hälfte aller als Vertriebene bezeichneten Menschen hatte ihre Heimat zu Kriegsende bereits verlassen. Wie viele Deutsche dabei aus eigenem Entschluss geflüchtet waren, ist unklar. Die bundesdeutsche Statistik zählt auch diejenigen als Vertriebene, die in den Jahrzehnten nach Abschluss der Zwangsumsiedlungen freiwillig in die Bundesrepublik Deutschland auswanderten. „Durch die historisch ungenaue Verwendung des Begriffs ‚Vertreibung‘“, resümieren Eva und Hans Henning Hahn, „lassen sich aus den Zahlen der in der Bundesrepublik registrierten Vertriebenen kaum Informationen darüber ableiten, wie viele der Vertriebenen überhaupt eine Vertreibung erlebt haben.“

    Es wurden unscharfe Kategorien geschaffen, um die Statistik größer werden zu lassen, sicherlich nicht zuletzt um antikommunistische Narrative zu befeuern.
