Dierenleed is echt fucked up. Dieren doen nooit iets verkeerd. Ze leven gewoon hun leven en doen hun ding. Alle dieren zijn in feite gewoon altijd onschuldig. Als je dan alles hebt geprobeerd en nog niets kan doen en zo’n beestje is echt compleet uitgeput dan is dat gekmakend Godverdomme. Maar we geven het mooi niet op! Morgen alles op alles bij de dierenarts!! En ik geloof in die helden! Ze gaan hem oplappen! Whatever it takes. ❤️ #Theo #dierenleed #dierenartsen #dierenliefde

Following the attacks on energy facilities in Germany, particularly the recent incident in Brandenburg and another attack on a substation in North Rhine-Westphalia, there is uncertainty and a crisis atmosphere as security forces search the area and various theories about the perpetrators are being discussed.

Dit land is zo verschrikkelijk stuk: het kabinet wil vanaf 22 september producten uit Joodse gemeenschappen in Judea, Samaria, Oost-Jeruzalem en de Golan verbieden. Wie een fles wijn, pot techina of souvenir uit de Oude Stad meeneemt, kan in theorie tot zes jaar cel krijgen. De regering sloeg de gewone internetconsultatie over, kreeg waarschuwingen dat handhaving nauwelijks uitvoerbaar is en onderzocht niet eens wat de boycot doet met palestijnse werknemers die van deze bedrijven afhankelijk zijn. Maar dát is kennelijk bijzaak: het kabinet noemt vooral het “stevige politieke signaal”. Symboolpolitiek, juridisch gerommel en Joden die de rekening krijgen. Nederland 2026. Het is om te janken. https://t.co/pw20VA5mBB #Israel #Boycot #Politiek

Verschwörungen funktionieren, indem man objektive Belege nicht anerkennt, weil sie aus "offiziellen Quellen" kommen, die damit Teil der Manipulation sind. Stattdessen werden Fantasien gesponnen, die bei erkannten Widersprüchen einfach geändert werden. Wenn aber eine Seite alles belegen muss und die andere nach Belieben Theorien ändern und Fantasien als Beweise präsentieren kann, dann hat man in dem Moment verloren, wo man sich an den Tisch setzt. Eine Diskussion verlangt gemeinsam anerkannte Regeln und die Seite, die außergewöhnliche Vorwürfe nicht mit außergewöhnlich guten Beweisen untermauert, sondern die Beweislast umkehrt, ermöglicht daher keine Diskussion auf Augenhöhe.

“Socialism Was Good in Theory” That sentence assumes the theory was never seriously challenged. It was. Long before the Soviet Union existed, before Lenin seized power, and before socialism had been tested on a national scale, major thinkers were already attacking its foundations—from very different directions. Five of them stand out. Tocqueville: Equality Can Become Servitude In 1848, Alexis de Tocqueville drew a sharp distinction between democracy and socialism. Both spoke about equality. But Tocqueville believed they pursued it in fundamentally different ways. Democracy, in his view, sought equality while preserving individual freedom. Socialism risked achieving equality by expanding the power of the state over the individual. His warning was essentially this: equality is not automatically liberty. A society can pursue equality so aggressively that it begins sacrificing the independence that makes political freedom meaningful. Bastiat: Follow Where Redistribution Leads Two years later, Frédéric Bastiat attacked socialism from a different direction. His question was deceptively simple: What happens when the state acquires the authority to take from some people and give to others in the name of justice? Bastiat called this “legal plunder.” His concern was not merely that redistribution might be expensive. It was that once government becomes the instrument through which competing groups obtain benefits from one another, politics can turn into a permanent struggle over who controls the machinery of redistribution. The problem, therefore, wasn’t simply how much the state redistributed. It was the principle that made redistribution legitimate in the first place. (bastiat.org⁠) Nietzsche: Equality Can Become Resentment Nietzsche approached socialism neither as an economist nor as a constitutional theorist. He attacked its psychology. He saw modern egalitarian movements as part of a much older moral impulse: resentment toward exceptional individuals and suspicion of strength, ambition and hierarchy. For Nietzsche, the danger was not simply that everyone might become economically equal. It was that a culture could begin treating excellence itself as something morally suspect. The goal would cease to be lifting people upward. It would become bringing the exceptional downward. Böhm-Bawerk: Challenge the Economics Then came Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk. In 1896, he turned his attention specifically toward Marx’s economic system. His criticism was not primarily moral or political. It was technical. Böhm-Bawerk argued that Marx’s theory of value did not adequately explain how the labor values developed in Capital could be reconciled with the actual prices Marx subsequently needed to explain. In other words, he attacked socialism where it claimed to possess a scientific economic foundation. The argument became one of the central criticisms of Marxian economics and helped launch a debate that would continue for generations. Mises: The Calculation Problem Then, in 1920, Ludwig von Mises attacked an even more fundamental question: Even if socialism is morally desirable, how would a socialist economy actually know what to produce? A functioning economy has millions of competing uses for scarce resources. Build a bridge or a hospital? Use steel here or there? Produce more machinery or more consumer goods? Under private ownership and markets, prices for capital goods provide information about relative scarcity and opportunity costs. Mises argued that abolishing private ownership of the means of production also removes the genuine market prices necessary for rational economic calculation. The problem wasn’t simply that socialist planners might make bad decisions. It was that the system deprived them of the very economic signals required to systematically compare those decisions. (Mises Institute⁠) And that was the sequence. Tocqueville challenged the political premise. Bastiat challenged the moral and legal mechanism of redistribution. Nietzsche challenged the psychology behind egalitarianism. Böhm-Bawerk challenged Marx’s economic theory. Mises challenged the possibility of rational central economic calculation. Five different thinkers. Five different objections. And all of them came before the Soviet Union had demonstrated what large-scale socialist government would actually look like. So “socialism was good in theory, but bad in practice” is not an argument. It is a historical claim that requires you to explain why these theoretical objections were wrong. The interesting question isn’t whether socialism had critics. It did. The interesting question is whether socialism ever adequately answered them” - ChatGPT

Das wird jetzt richtig interessant! Tesla legt für die FSD-Supervised-Freigabe in Europa 🇪🇺 massiv Daten offen! Die Zahlen, die Tesla veröffentlicht: ✅ 102 Mio. km FSD Supervised in 5 EU-Ländern – laut Tesla 4,1× weniger Kollisionen als beim manuellen Fahren ✅ 1,6 Mio. Test-km in Europa ohne selbstverschuldeten schweren oder leichten Unfall ✅ Über 230.000 Szenario-Tests in europäischen Städten mit rund 98 % Erfolgsquote ✅ Diese ~98 % bleiben laut Tesla auch bei Regen, Nebel, Nacht und Dämmerung bestehen ✅ Bis zu 84 % weniger AEB-Eingriffe und bis zu 81 % weniger starkes Bremsen ✅ 99 % weniger kleinere Kollisionen bei Spurwechseln auf Autobahnen, 93 % außerhalb davon ✅ 67 % weniger Müdigkeitsereignisse auf Autobahnen 👉 Am 6. Oktober könnte über eine EU-weite Freigabe von FSD Supervised abgestimmt werden. Tesla legt seine Karten auf den Tisch. Jetzt wird es für die europäischen Behörden zunehmend schwieriger, nur noch über Theorie zu diskutieren. #Tesla #FSD #EuropäischeUnion
