  • 3.5% is roughly what is needed to bring a military like the Bundeswehr to a level to fight a large scale war within a few years. Most of Europe is in a similar situation to Germany here.

    The 1.5% are just a way to appease Trump. It is easy to pick some budget items, which would have been paid anyway, and call them defence spending. In the case of Germany it is actually even better, as Germany has recently changed its consitutional debt brake to include defence spending. So this basically opens up the debt brake to pretty much any sort of infrastructure spending…








  • Nein, da habe ich schlecht formuliert. Ich meine nur die Ästhetik von Nazis. Das dürfte auch viel darin liegen, dass durch den Feminismus Frauen mehr eine andere Position erarbeitet haben, die Männer allerdings es nicht geschafft haben ein positives Gegenmodell zu entwickeln. Das traditionelle Bild war ja das die Frau als Hausfrau den Haushalt schmeisst und Kinder erzieht und der Mann Geld heranwirtschaftet. Durch den Feminismus haben die Frauen angefangen die Erwerbsarbeit der Männer mit zu übernehmen. Das Problem dabei ist halt, dass eigentlich auch die Männer die Hausarbeit der Frauen übernehmen hätten müssen. Das wird bloss kulturell immernoch als unwürdig erachtet. Die große Ausnahme dabei ist ironischwerweise die Schwulenszene. Damit haben Schwule halt momentan das einzige wirklich funktionierende positive Männerbild was halbwegs links ist.







  • The strategy if a rules based international order is dead already. Not due to the EU, but the US was the center point of that and they just broke the system. There will also always be flaws in the EU, which will be pointed out by Russian propaganda. There is plenty of racism in the EU and it is not going away. There places like New Caledonia, which are in a very complex limbo of colonialism with France, which half the population loves and the other half hates. Easy to turn that into propaganda.

    The right to protest has not been destroyed by foreign policy either, but by big fossil fuel. The first massive crack downs were not on anti Israel protests, but on climate protests.

    EDIT: Just to be clear, it should be done to do the right thing, but not because it would actually help the EU. It just is not going to.
