Answering a day later while criticising me for not being only 24/7 and reacting to a comment in time is not without a certain humour…

“Fuck basic human rights. For the eCoNoMy!!1”

Did you seriously remove my comment because you don’t know what the word actually means and confuse a very fitting definition of CDU policies for a slur?

And in 2027 they suddenly realize that they can’t meet those targets anymore so the legislation needs to be changed…

They don’t need to invest into productivity, which btw is already through the roof.

They can just happily ignore facts because nothing (but the profits of the top 0,x %) is linked to actual productivity anymore. Instead it’s linked to wages that can be kept low.

(PS: And all actual context aside, modern day Germans are actually working more than ever, too. So it’s not even malicious misinterpreting of reality but just plain lying.)

You are still trying to justify Palestinian calls for a genocide with Israel’s genocidal actions.

So I will repeat again:

Out of the two insane and genocidal sides of that conflict none can claim moral superiority.

A Free Ukraine does not mean a genocide of Russians.

Because it’s not a free Ukraine that insists on covering 100% of Russia’s territory.

Palestine is not Hamas. There is an internationally recognized Palestinian Authority that has actually recognized the 2 State Solution.

The last election was held 19 years ago. Hamas clearly won with 76 out of 132 seats. Pretending that the Palestinian Authority is somehow speaking for Palestinians because they say the stuff you want to hear is rediculous wishful thinking.

The same Palestinian Authority is being ratfucked over every step of the way by Israel. Undermined, delegitimized, made to look ineffective, ignored, silenced

You don’t need to delegitimize people on year 19 of a 4 year term where they actually lost…

Fun fact: Knecht and knight share the same origin but actually mean very different things.

The German Knecht is a (lowly) servant while the higher class defined themselves by their ability to provide their own armor, weapons and horse as “Ritter” (lit. rider).

In English the same people defined themselves as their liege’s highest servants (=knights).

So in the end both “Knechte” and “knights” are indeed servants but the cultural context and their position in a feudal hierarchy are extremely different.

PS: The personal servant of a knight would be a “Knappe”, the German equivalent to a “squire”. Basically a knight’s apprentice…

if you have accepted the premise that “a Free Palestine Must Necessarily Mean The Extermination Of Jews”

Yes, a free Palestine ranging “from the river to the sea” while at the very same time -just like Israel- staunchly rejecting the idea of a two-state solution is exactly that.

Out of the two insane and genocidal sides of that conflict none can claim moral superiority.

(For reference: see §2 of the Hamas charter that clearly defines the borders of their “free Palestine” that covers 100% of Israel, West Bank and Gaza…)

Yeah, it’s really shameful to lament a genocide while advocating for a genocide… but your propaganda-induced brain damage causes impressive cognitive dissonance.

Blame the Germans… the printing press reached England at the absolutely worst time to standardise spelling: right in the early phases of an ongoing vowel shift.

it’s centrists and progressives who arguably have more money who are buying these cars

What are they to buy alternatively? The basically non-existent sanely sized cars?

You are wrong… they need to increase their profit margins even more, so they can afford the neccessary protection for themselves while they watch everyone else’s skin melt.

No.

If I tell my lawyer about a child I abused years ago he can do exactly nothing as there is no imminent crime to prevent that would allow him breaking confidality.

If I tell my priest the same applies.

If you want to change that, change the laws binding those people. But don’t pretend that the church is going out of its way to protect child abuse by in reality doing nothing and applying the same rule indiscriminately exactly like they did for a millenium.

or you have so little faith in your church

I will tell you a secret: Not everything in the world is about tribes or team sports. I personally deem any organized religion as an abomination.

But when a “remember that the confession’s confidentiality is absolute, has been exactly like this for nearly a millenium and you are beholden to god’s/church laws first an foremost” (so the same unchanged statement as always) is reframed as the church somehow explicitly going out of its way to protect child abuse specifically people should actually notice that they are being manipulated.

Are you seriously arguing that child abusers should be protected by the church because of historical precedent?

No I’m arguing that it is well within your rights to argue for changes in that basically ancient church law. If that’s what you want to do, go one. I would actually agree.

But if you instead pretend that this is not about the seal of confession but hallucinate how the modern church is somehow going out of its way to protect child abuse (like a lot of commenters here do) you have completely lost the plot.

No, I am arguing for a church law established nearly 1000 years ago and upheld ever since that indiscriminately protects all confessions. If you want to argue for changing this (as you should) go along.

But pretending that this is about protecting child abuse or even -as multiple comments here do- hallucinating how the catholic church “goes out of its way” (by doing exactly the same aus in the last ~900 years) is insane.

The Catholic Church is going out of its way to protect child abusers

Nearly 1000 years of a confession’s confidentiality being absolute and the punishment for violating it being excommunication, is the exact opposite of “going out of its way”.

Nuclear is a fairy tale told by lobbyists. Those working in nuclear and those trying to keep fossil fuels active as long as possible by inducing constant idiotic discussions.

Worldwide solar/wind/hydro made up ~86% all newly constructed energy production (and rising… those where numbers of 2023, I expect >90% for 2024 but haven’t seen newer data). Renewable deployment as well as battery storage is growing exponentially because no other method of production can actually compete with those low costs anymore.

Nuclear is an option for all the countries that already have massive capacities build (so basically France, that’s it). Or for those with a demand increasing so rapidly that they use all available options in parallel anayway (see: China, but even there nuclear is in regards to capacity a tiny fraction compared to renewables).

For every other country it’s basically a choice between starting to lower your emissions now and steadily over the next 1-2 decades via renewables or doing nothing for at least the same time period while nuclear power (that also needs all the costs upfronted now btw) is build. (PS: Nuclear also doesn’t work without long-term storage via produced gas btw… That’s the reason France is the other country in the EU beside Germany pushing for a scaled up green hydrogen market. In fact hydrogen production via electrolisation is the only reason their nuclear plans work economically, because that production gets better economically with a more constant power supply compared to a pure renewable setup - see RTE’s study about power production in 2050).
