Montagslaberfaden - die Wahl ist vorbei

Gedanken zur jüngsten Wahl: Die Leute sind so unglaublich dumm. Das macht echt keinen Spaß mehr.
Hab das Wochenende so ziemlich damit verbracht, mir Synthesizer-Videos anzuschauen. Da kommt man schon ziemlich ins sabbern ... hoffe ich kann mich noch irgendwie zurückhalten, jetzt eine fette Synthi-Sammlung anzufangen. Ich hab hier schon genug Musikgedöns rumstehen.

Ich glaube tatsächlich nicht daran, dass ausgerechnet die BaWü-CDU die erste Altpartei sein wird, die die Brandmauer komplett einreißt. Die ostdeutschen Landesverbände haben da viel mehr Bock drauf und dort macht es auch von der Sitzverteilung her oft mehr Sinn, so eine Koalition a la "alles, wirklich alles außer AfD" macht auch nicht so viel Spaß.

Fand die immer schon nervig. Selbst wenn nicht alle Gäste durchgehend Scheiße labern, macht fast keines der Redemeistys seinen Job richtig (aus Sicht von Zuschauen, die sich für ehrliche, inhaltliche Diskussionen interessieren) - ständig alle Gäste durcheinanderschreien zu lassen ist einfach gequirlte Kacke.

Davon abgesehen fände ich es selbst mit ruhigen, logisch schlüssigen Redebeiträgen eher anstrengend, solchen stundenlangen politischen Diskussionen zu folgen. Sowas konsumiere ich wirklich lieber als Text.

Greek court upholds convictions of leaders of neo-Nazi party

AFAIK, the AfD does a lot of illegal shit (mostly corruption, nazi propaganda and generally trying to incite violence), but they're not quite on the level of personally sending out thugs to "deal" with people they hate.

You're not wrong about German governments refusing to deal with them, though. Honestly somewhat surprised that the conservative party didn't already enter into a coalition with them.

Not really. They were certainly white supremacists and hated Jews, but Christianity didn't really play a big role in their ideology. They spent a lot more time supressing local churches than going on about how christian they are, and many of them were very interested in pagan religions.

From a DW article from 2020:

One Golden Dawn supporter was sentenced to life imprisonment after he confessed to the 2013 fatal stabbing of left-wing rapper Pavlos Fyssas, whose mother, Magda, was in court to hear Thursday's decision.

Last week the court found the Golden Dawn leadership guilty of operating the party as a criminal organization and ordering thugs to attack left-wing activists, migrants and Egyptian fishermen, as well as other perceived foes.

Damn, that's a lot more direct than what I know of popular German neo-nazi parties.

The cellular switch that explains why humans aren’t nocturnal

Jump

rumschlumpel @feddit.org 2d ago

I'd say it still counts as diurnal, unless you're actually sitting completely in the dark (and yes, the screen counts as a light source) Ü

Also, as someone who also is awake most nights, I get the impression that it's not particular healthy, i.e. is in conflict with our biology.

All other things being equal, eyes specialized on daylight activity will just be better at the kinds of intricacies needed for shaping the tools, collecting the right materials etc., mostly because night vision is pretty much greyscale for mammals. And would humans even be as likely to start using fire if they could see in the dark? It's obviously still useful for preparing food, but IDK that I'd choose to place a beacon of light and smoke (smell) in the night if I could see without it.

I'd assume that humans used tools long before they started using fire, because making fire is far more involved than using simple tools. Though this might actually be worth looking up.

recent conviction of initiating physical violence

Which is pretty easy to get if you attend protests and the government intents to effectively ban leftist activists from having legal access to guns. Wrongfully charging protesters with resisting arrest is already commonplace in many EU countries, and "the protesters started it" is standard fare when people ask why the police attacked a peaceful protest. If activists started arming themselves, they would definitely use these, especially if they took them to protests (though that would be illegal anyway in my country).

So what you're saying is, we basically can't have strong gun laws until our political systems are deeply changed in one way or another?

15 year old cars. I don’t believe in throwaway culture. Plus I hate new cars so there’s that.

When you put it like that, I can actually get behind that. New cars are absurd with all their electronics and non-fixability.

But you can’t start your scenario from after there’s already a fully placed authoritarian government in place. If you’re starting from there then there’s no actual law about anything at all anyway, guns or otherwise.

Fair enough. I guess it depends on how authoritarian and anti-progressive you think most western governments were before they started to tune into the Trump bs; it's a completely different conversation if you think that we need a revolution before enacting strong gun control laws.

And secondly, you’re arguing as if strong gun control laws means a gun ban, which aren’t at all the same thing.

It's really easy to declare someone who belongs to a political movement or politicized minority as 'not fit for gun ownership', the further away from the current political center the easier.

Naja, es kommt darauf an, wie viele Menschen das so benutzen. "Kina" ist ja soweit ich weiß der Standard in Bayern und Österreich. Es gibt ganz sicher Leute, die sich als Begrüßung hart beleidigen und das wirklich nur als freundliches Hallo meinen, nur halt nicht so viele (in Deutschland) wie es Bayern gibt.

The issue with strong gun control laws is that they would definitely be leveraged by authoritarian governments against the interests of the common people. I'm not really a fan of complete gun ownership freedom, but even in the not-quite-as-overtly-fascist past of US politics, it's been conspicuous how often state gun laws were tightened when minorities started arming themselves, while the 'white men shooting up schools'-issue is pretty much being ignored.

Tool use and being nocturnal are kind of a bad fit, so it's hard to believe that humans would have evolved in a recognizable form if they had been nocturnal.

Schina und China gehen klar, Kina muss man wohl auch akzeptieren (es gibt ja eigentlich keinen fest definierten Standard dafür, wie man Deutsch ausspricht, sondern nur Empfehlungen wie das Bühnendeutsch). Xina ist ... katalanisch? Wird "Schina" oder "Tschina" ausgesprochen?
