Ah. It’s somewhat odd for me, as my love for and of nature, as well as (and in the same vein) my ideas about human potential and dignity come from a specifically un- if not anti-spiritual place.

Something like: The material world is not only beautiful (in a fundamental way, I don’t merely mean pretty like a forest on a hill, but also beautiful like all the interconnected systems that make it a forest), but also all there is, and that is part of the reason why caring about feeling beings is important.

But yeah, we always gotta make some judgement calls on who and what we exclude and include with the terms we use.

Note: I include a love of nature, humanism, etc. under the ‘spiritual’ label, as well as traditionally religiously spiritual.

Huh. Why?

Oh no, Macie’s wife

Can you conceive of other motivations?

Do you believe that the point of such assignments is because the teacher desires to read a couple dozen nigh-identical essays on the topic at hand?

Firings and jail time.

In lieu of that, high fines and firings.

Yeah there is. The law isn’t run on cartoon logic where you can get around a ban by putting on a fake mustache and a hat.

Re-forming with a new name is covered by the ban.

The rules they’d have to comply with to circumvent the ban are antithetical to what they are.

You can play the game, but flipping the table cannot be a legal move.

Don’t believe nazi propaganda about those things. They were largely inefficient and disorganized, they just predated others to fuel their goals. It’s one of the economic reasons for waging war on everyone: once you use up your local stolen wealth, you gotta raid other people’s. Nazi organizational structures were famously broken, with different redundant levels of political control pitted against each other, in line with social darwinist ideas.

And by far not all Nazis were true believers. Tons were “merely” playing along, because they thought they’d get something out of it. They often did, with the wealth of previously Jewish owned (and other) companies being handed to people close to the leadership.

These are parallels, not contrasts.

They are replaceable, it just takes some tools and work, both of which you can get at the phone repair shop.

It dominates everything else, few things are further away from water than (unfermented) cucumbers.

No, that is not what I wrote.

For context: It isn’t, and the underlying misunderstanding is fostered by the reporting on what is going on.

The proposed changes are about to what extent all hospitals have to offer treatment types. There’s basics that all hospitals have to offer either way, but for some treatments you want highly specialized departments, both in expertise and in equipment. The underlying issue is basically:

Is it better to have a mediocre [something]ology department in every hamlet, with corresponding constraints on quality of care (as well as higher infrastructural redundancies) or is it better to have better equipped specialized centers that have to cover a larger area (with the corresponding issues of having to transport patients across relatively larger distances)?

It’s complicated with genuinely important trade-offs to consider, but the minister whose face is associated with it also became a target of right wing weirdoes and newspapers over corona stuff and the cannabis “legalization”.

That’s when you should expect it more. Mistaking what is and isn’t a threat creates danger, also for the family, that needn’t be there.

Use none, support none

Scholz was one of the people pivotal to removing the passage about socialism from the SPD manifesto.

"Im August 2003 vor dem 140. Jahrestag der SPD schlug der damalige Generalsekretär Olaf Scholz vor, den Begriff ganz aus dem künftigen SPD-Grundsatzprogramm zu streichen:[46]

„Es gibt keinen Zustand mit diesem Namen, der auf unsere marktwirtschaftlich geprägte Demokratie folgen wird. Deshalb sollten wir nicht solche Illusionen erzeugen.“"
