  1. Es kommt mir wie vor 100 Jahren: Die Rechten und die Linken "beharken" sich lautstark und unversöhnlich, die bürgerliche Mitte schweigt dazu, dann gewinnt der Faschismus und in nächsten Krieg sterben wieder 65 Millionen 😕 #historyrepeating

  2. Reminders of a past time when a secret police force was permitted to snatch people off the street, and send them to a camp hidden from the public in another country.

  4. "Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes ... Families are torn apart: men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find their parents have disappeared." - Diary of Anne Frank, January 13, 1943

  6. Given my physics teacher (35 years ago) said repeatedly that girls couldn't do physics, I feel like this is a slight improvement 🙄

    #sigh #HistoryRepeating

    freyablekman - I heard last week that the physics teacher of the daughter of one of my colleagues told the daughter that girls who do their nails don’t do physics. Sigh.

    So, here are the nails of an internationally leading particle physics professor. My nails.

    Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM

  13. I think the org needs to invest in a copy of this book, if not more than one.


    The history of the civil rights era abounds with accounts of physical brutality by county sheriffs and tales of political intrigue and constitutional violations by FBI agents. Turning our attention to municipal officials in cities and towns across the US—North, South, East, and West—Davis reveals how local police bombarded civil rights organizers with an array of insidious weapons. More than just physical violence, these economic, legal, and reputational attacks were designed to project the illusion of color-blind law enforcement.

    The civil rights struggle against police abuses is largely overlooked today, the victim of a willful campaign by local law enforcement to erase their record of repression. By placing activism against state violence at the center of the civil rights story, Police Against the Movement offers critical insight into the power of political resistance in the face of government attacks on protest.

  14. "Sergej Lawrow bietet EU und Nato einen Nichtangriffspakt an"

    Gab's schon mal. Hat von 1939-1941 gehalten, mindestens eine Seite hatte von Anfang an nicht vor, sich dauerhaft dran zu halten, sondern brauchte nur Zeit für die Vorbereitungen. Geregelt hat es vor allem die Aufteilung souveräner Staaten zwischen den beiden Unterzeichnern. Ist für beide Seiten relativ Scheiße ausgegangen. "Keine Pläne für einen Angriff" - frag mal die Ukraine.

  16. For those of you unfamiliar with it, the term Jaywalking [1] has its roots in a campaign by automobile manufacturers in the 1920s to combat a perceived notion that cars were unsafe for use in peopled areas. Through an aggressive campaign around the operation of multi-ton metal death machines, shifting the blame for accidents from motorists to pedestrians, automobile companies were able to normalize the externalities of cars.

    The resulting urban sprawl has plagued major cities for generations, with major European cities (e.g., Amsterdam) only managing to dig themselves out over the past few decades. Most American cities continue to optimize around residents shackled to car ownership.

    However, all this is in the past. The work to dig us out of that hole continues, well over a century later. I would hope that we would learn something from the experience.

    I would hope that we would reject any other corporate campaign to normalize a popularly disliked technology, perhaps with a very similar vibe of pollution and social disruption. I would hope that we would keep similar [adjective] [noun] constructs pejoratively focused on the purveyors of such slop.

  20. History has give the left plenty of reasons not to trust centrist, but the present also provides it to, from the Guardian:
    "the president refuses to budge on his economic agenda, dating from 2017, which has included tax cuts on businesses, scrapping the wealth tax and raising the pension age. All of these the Socialists want to roll back.

    Macron might instead again look towards the centre right for a prime minister who could keep on board the rightwing Les Républicains party, which has propped up the minority government so far"
    It's the Centrists more than any party which is the party of bourgeoisie property class :marx:

  22. Back to Eric Cline's updated preface to "1177 BC The Year Civilization Collapsed":

    "When the end came, as it did after centuries of cultural and technological evolution, most of the civilized and international world of the Mediterranean regions came to a dramatic halt in a vast area stretching from what is now Italy to Afghanistan and from Turkey down to Egypt. Large empires and small kingdoms, which had taken centuries to evolve, collapsed rapidly, from the Myceneans and Minoans to the Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Mitannians, Cyppriots, Canaanites, and even Egyptians.

    "And with their end came a period of transition, frequently described by scholars as the world's first Dark Age. It was not until centuries later that a new cultural renaissance emerged in greece and the other affected areas, settig the stage of the evolution of society as we know it today." (Cline, 1177BC, page xvi).

    However, "Some regions in Greece, such as Attica, Euboea, and central Crete, recovered economically from these events faster than others, but life for common Greeks would have remained relatively unchanged as it had for centuries. There was still farming, weaving, metalworking and pottery but at a lower level of output and for local use in local styles," (Wikipedia, The Greek Dark Ages).

    In other words, #Degrowth! Also, the foundations of democracy (though limited to Greek male landowners). "Greece during this period was likely divided into independent regions organized by kinship groups and the oikoi or households, the origins of the later poleis. Most Greeks did not live in isolated farmsteads but in small settlements." So, smaller settlements and groups. Kinda what is predicted in some of the #LtG scenarios, but with the added *bonus* of pollution. (There was also #ClimateChange during the #LateBronzeAge, which was marked by droughts and crop failures).

    Will we form smaller communities? Will we unite and use technology wisely before it's too late? Time will tell...

  24. In 1941, Hitler started to wonder why they were paying for Soviet oil when they could just take it for themselves. So the Nazis concocted a 'conspiracy theory', which they then gave to Stalin as intelligence.
    Hitler was then able to maneuver his military into an attack position without suspicion. There were however intellectuals that tried to tell Stalin that it was an attack, but Stalin was convinced of the 'conspiracy theory', and did nothing.
    Hitler gave the order to kill anyone and everyone, and they swept across the Soviet Union, murdering an estimated 13 to 18 million civilians.
    Starlin, who was shocked and distraught about being manipulated, spent the first few days of the invasion locked away in a room with a bottle.

  29. Two days later, after looking at far too many buses and trams, and drinking far too much (delicious but deadly) vodka with my very generous and friendly hosts on the last evening, I flew back to the UK on the 21st of March.

    I changed flights in Frankfurt & finally caught sight of actual WMDs: At that time, Frankfurt airport was split between civilian and US military. There were masses of cargo aircraft, both US military and plain white painted cargo aircraft coming & going from the military side of the airfield, carrying weapons which would go on to be used in Iraq.

    By now everyone was scared of "terrorists" so the airports were empty. There were just two passengers on my flight from Frankfurt to Gatwick.

    There was no danger from Middle Eastern terrorists - the only danger was a ridiculously out of control superpower which with its allies would go on to kill over a million people in Iraq.

    History is repeating itself. Instead of GW Bush, who was obviously an idiot, the US is now run by an even bigger idiot in Trump. Instead of Blair, who was complicit in war crimes, we have Starmer, who also backs war crimes. Instead of Iraq being accused of having WMDs in Iraq, that's now said about Iran.

    (Genesis, Land of Confusion, 1986)

  32. ✊ DER LETZTE ALARM: WEHRT EUCH JETZT ODER NIE! ✊

    Die Geschichte unseres Landes brüllt uns mit aller Gewalt an, und dennoch scheinen viele taub zu sein. Die Parallelen zur Endphase der Weimarer Republik sind so erschreckend, so eindeutig, dass jeder Geschichtslehrer vor Entsetzen erblassen müsste!

    Die Schrecken des Nationalsozialismus begannen nicht mit Auschwitz. Sie begannen mit Worten. Mit Hass. Mit der Ausgrenzung von Minderheiten. Mit völkischem Denken. Mit der Unterscheidung zwischen "echten Deutschen" und den "Anderen".

    Genau dort stehen wir jetzt wieder. An der Schwelle zu einem neuen faschistischen Zeitalter. Noch können wir es verhindern. Noch ist es nicht zu spät. Aber das Zeitfenster schließt sich SCHNELL!

    Am 30. Januar 1933 wurde Hitler zum Reichskanzler ernannt. Es war eine legale, verfassungskonforme Machtübergabe. Es war KEINE gewaltsame Machtergreifung. Hitler kam durch demokratische Wahlen und die fatale Fehleinschätzung konservativer Eliten an die Macht!

    Und was geschah in den ERSTEN WOCHEN seiner Herrschaft?

    Februar 1933: Grundrechte werden durch die Reichstagsbrandverordnung außer Kraft gesetzt
    März 1933: Erstes Konzentrationslager in Dachau errichtet
    März 1933: Ermächtigungsgesetz beseitigt die Demokratie
    April 1933: Offizieller Boykott jüdischer Geschäfte, Beginn der systematischen Judenverfolgung
    Mai 1933: Bücherverbrennungen
    Juli 1933: Alle Parteien außer der NSDAP werden verboten
    In nur SECHS MONATEN war Deutschland von einer Demokratie zu einer Diktatur geworden! In nur SECHS MONATEN wurden alle demokratischen Institutionen zerschlagen!

    Und was folgte, wissen wir alle: Zweiter Weltkrieg mit über 60 Millionen Toten. Holocaust mit sechs Millionen ermordeten Juden. Völkermord an Sinti und Roma. Vernichtung von Millionen Andersdenkenden, Behinderten, Homosexuellen.

    DAS BEGANN ALLES MIT EINER PARTEI, DIE "DEMOKRATISCH GEWÄHLT" WURDE!

    UNSERE FORDERUNGEN SIND KOMPROMISSLOS

    ✊ SOFORTIGES VERBOTSVERFAHREN GEGEN DIE AFD! Die rechtlichen Voraussetzungen sind erfüllt. Der Bundestag, der Bundesrat und die Bundesregierung müssen JETZT handeln und einen Verbotsantrag beim Bundesverfassungsgericht stellen!

    ✊ VOLLSTÄNDIGE ÜBERPRÜFUNG ALLER AFD MITGLIEDER IM ÖFFENTLICHEN DIENST! Niemand, der sich zu einer gesichert rechtsextremistischen Organisation bekennt, darf im öffentlichen Dienst arbeiten. Der Beamteneid verlangt ein uneingeschränktes Eintreten für die freiheitlich demokratische Grundordnung!

    ✊ AUSSCHLUSS DER AFD VON DER STAATLICHEN PARTEIENFINANZIERUNG! Kein Cent Steuergeld darf mehr in die Förderung einer rechtsextremistischen Organisation fließen!

    ✊ ABSOLUTE BRANDMAUER AUF ALLEN POLITISCHEN EBENEN! Wer mit der AfD kooperiert, wer mit ihr stimmt, wer ihre Anträge unterstützt, der macht sich zum Steigbügelhalter des Faschismus! Keine Kooperationen, nicht einmal in "sachpolitischen" Fragen. Keine Normalisierung!

    ✊ MASSIVE STÄRKUNG ANTIFASCHISTISCHER BILDUNGSARBEIT! Der Kampf gegen rechts muss in den Schulen, in den Medien, in der politischen Bildung massiv intensiviert werden. Jeder Euro, der hier investiert wird, ist eine Investition in den Erhalt unserer Demokratie!

    ✊ KONSEQUENTE STRAFVERFOLGUNG RECHTSEXTREMER ÄUSSERUNGEN UND STRAFTATEN! Volksverhetzung, Verwendung von Kennzeichen verfassungswidriger Organisationen, Hasskriminalität und rechte Gewalt müssen mit aller Härte des Rechtsstaats bekämpft werden!

    ✊ UMFASSENDE SOLIDARITÄT MIT ALLEN VON RECHTER HETZE UND GEWALT BETROFFENEN! Die Erfahrungen der Opfer rechter Gewalt müssen ernst genommen, ihre Stimmen gehört und ihre Forderungen umgesetzt werden!

    ✊ AUFARBEITUNG RECHTER STRUKTUREN IN SICHERHEITSBEHÖRDEN! Rechtsextreme Netzwerke in Polizei, Bundeswehr und Verfassungsschutz müssen entschlossen bekämpft und aufgelöst werden!

  33. Every 100 years, America tries high tariffs to try and economically wall itself in with disastrous results.

    Many people know about the Smoot-Hawley tariff of 1930.

    The "Tariff of Abominations" of 1828 was also disastrous.

    Trump's new Tariffs have similarly disastrous results.

    ...

    Do tell me more

    "So it's worth remembering that Hitler was actually an incompetent, lazy egomaniac and his government was an absolute clown show.

    In fact, this may even have helped his rise to power, as he was consistently underestimated by the German elite."
