@Moon Reminder that 90% of rhetoric used against the Freedom Convoy was there was a single nazi flag that was probably a plant based on the where the person was (non-public area), along with who took the picture (personal photographer to the puppet-man). That was all they needed to condemn the whole protest, a single probably fake flag.

But no, these actual nazis are okay.
@crunklord420 shit just keeps getting more unbelievable. "well, other countries have nazis too"

voice the slightest disapproval of NATO shit and you are considered either putin bot or - always with a smug tone - accused of being an idiot for believing misinformation.

Unpleasant reminder that, even if we won right now, so much knowlege has been lost and shall never be regained without great struggle, because it was held by non-literate people who did not have means or cause to commit it to writing. From childbirth to construction, traditions are persistently being severed in the name of modernization and cannot be rejoined.

Our cultures were built on a thousand-thousand Dewey-decimal systems, knowledge that to an outsider is arcane, but could be sewn together entirely through observation.

There are more that cannot be constructed from observation.

There's nothing left to be observed.

Define a goodly pinch? A productive heat? if you can't, you can't use traditional cookery books. Entire research fields of historians dedicated themselves to working this out, it took a lot of work to fully comprehend.

It's 2022 and we're still hypothesizing new methods for how the Easter Island heads were produced, or how stone henge was quarried, transported and constructed. Could you even weave a fabric if you needed to?

Dedicate yourself to the fulfillment of your values, the production of children, the development and propagation of traditional knowledge, the longer you wait the worse our position gets.

Don't ignore a practice just because of the gender stereo-typically associated with it either. You will have daughters. You will have sons. You need to have at least a working knowledge of how to start them off.

> Relative to the German military spending in 2019, Germany's humanitarian aid is about half of that.

fast forward to '22 we will spend 100 000 000 000€ because of russia. if we have a war with russia, it would be WW3 and nobody comes out of that alive. the crazy spending is like throwing money directly into the incinerator.

> Developing countries can't pick and choose their trading partners, regardless of humanitarian aid.

the west could be actively pushing for more (fair!) trade with those countries. nobody to blame but ourselves we didn't do that.

> That being said, this is mostly whataboutism.

fwiw, i think "whataboutism" can be applied to almost anything at this point and invoking it is always a try to "win" a discussion.

@ScumbagDog
i think the problem with that is: if the "international community" really stands so close together, why doesn't the west supports the smaller countries so that they don't depend as hard on russia?

my guess is because the west only ever does such things if there is a gain for them or at least it doesn't cost more than peanuts. look at how much is spend on humanitarian and infrastructure aid and how much germany alone now spends on military. it's at best a sick joke if the west claims to have any moral high ground.

@ScumbagDog
are you sure you mean "misinformation" and not "opinions i don't agree with"?
