Wet Tarmac, Cleaned City

Wet tarmac, cleaned city

An illusion of the moment.

But the real dirt cannot be removed.

Human abysses so deep and dirty, wet with rainwater with no effect.

In search of fulfilment

The last of the grunge and more.....

Pearl Jam is an American rock band that popularised grunge in the early 1990s with Nirvana, among others. It is the only one of the big Seattle grunge bands that has been in existence and producing albums ever since.

However, their roots are not only to be found in grunge. Rather, Pearl Jam was influenced in many different ways. Pearl Jam's music is also much more diverse and cannot be categorised exclusively in the grunge genre.

Some boring background information about the music history of grunge for music nerds and all the others who can and want to read ....

Grunge was commercially successful in the early to mid-1990s thanks to releases such as Nevermind by Nirvana, Ten by Pearl Jam, Superunknown by Soundgarden, Dirt by Alice in Chains and Core by Stone Temple Pilots. The success of these bands increased the popularity of alternative rock and made grunge the most popular form of rock music.

Last Exit (Remastered)

What does the picture tell us or what does it want to tell us?

Incidentally, the cool-looking fighter all in black alone against a system is somehow already a romantic narrative in which you like yourself. A transfiguration of good versus evil without shades of grey, but unfortunately the world is not good or evil in many shades.

The black bloc is anarchy is it, does not belong to the youth the anarchy just to destroy any symbols that symbolise capitalism.

The romance of the street fight and then the athletic, the hormonal extasy that makes the hunt or rather the cat and mouse game with the executive even better.

Is it perhaps just to escape from his conformist everyday life or really the expression of a philosophy!

What does the black block look like in private, does he live what he strives for?

Or are they just wealthy people who like to riot and loot the shops of people who work hard to survive in the kind of capitalism they have so favoured?

In reality, anarchy is mostly a disappointment everything is so self-organising, beautiful from the smallest to the largest. How explains it to everyone and shows how you can realise it and live in it.

But if that's not your ambition, it's probably not worth living it.

The French Revolution failed because some wanted to decide everything, not with the commune that organises itself.

It was about eliminating the classes in the sense of killing them on the scaffold and taking their position.

Whoever shows us how to live with an entire society should have a plan to convince us. Throwing stones and setting cars on fire is anything but anarchism.

Anarchy (ancient Greek ἀναρχία anarchía "rulelessness", from ἀρχία archía "rule" with negating alpha privativum) refers to a state of absence of rule. It is mainly used in political philosophy, where anarchism advocates such a social order.

Anarchists want society to regulate itself, for example through councils, free agreement or purely functional decisions, in the words of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon: "Anarchy is order without domination." A central figure of modern anarchism in German-speaking countries, Horst Stowasser, also referred to Proudhon's programmatic definition.

Anarchy is also commonly associated with a state of social disorder, tyranny and lawlessness caused by the absence of the state and institutionalised violence, and is often used in many media outlets to distort the actual meaning of the term "chaos and anarchy". However, the actual term for such a state is anomie.

Show us an old anarchist who has not been eaten by the system and has renounced an easy life, then the dream is alive.

„I think that most people know that I've been a gay man all of my life, and it's only been in recent times it's an issue that I feel comfortable to address … something that I feel has a moment, and this is the moment to discuss it.“

Rob Halford: Interview, MTV, 2. April 1998

Robert John Arthur Halford (born 25 August 1951 in Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire, England) is a British heavy metal singer. He was the lead singer of the band Judas Priest from 1972 to 1991 and returned in 2003. His distinctive voice with a range of 4½ octaves (D2-G#6) earned him the nickname "Metal God" in reference to a track on the album British Steel, and he is also known for his "Rob Halford Screams" (screams with very high frequency peaks).

It is liberating to show yourself to the world by simply being authentic.

Real people are who they are and don't pretend to be something else. With the great exception of actor..... We all wear masks - sometimes that's necessary as long as we stay true to ourselves.

Sometimes I think @ursaminorjim is just Rob Halford incognito.

Unfortunately, we have only found the video translated into German, but it shows the problem, or rather the development of reading and its media.

Every era had its media, scrolls, books, technical devices of the multimedia world.

A book is a task of concentration, it takes time and muse to read it all the way through.

In today's attention span of seconds or even minutes in an ever faster information overflow world of social media, reading books is a challenge.

All the information summarised in a detailed report, text, story in book without pictures is an absolute challenge for the imagination.

Reading books, unlike collecting books, is an enrichment of the mind and not of inner decoration or investment.

With new media come new skills and old ones disappear. The attention span of young adults today is smaller than in the eighties. What impact does this have on the future? Can we get people to read again beyond the seconds or minutes?

We assume that you only have to ignite a spark to get people to read. So write good books and not in the style of marvel the super heroes save the world from the super villain part infinite. The eternal rehash of the same theme. We used to love marvel but not criticism free. However, death pool is incredible, isn't it?

The eighth of May, the end of the Second World War and liberation from a totalitarian regime of violence that had the whole free world holding its breath.

The fall of the greatest insane criminal third Reich was initiated on the first day of d-day the day of the beginning of liberation with supernatural sacrifices.

The Antif was a bundling of all the forces over which the Nazis brought horror and their allies!

Young men selflessly gave their lives to create a world without fascism for future generations.

Never forget this and recognise the signs of the times, never again fascism applies and will always be valid.

Never again fascism!

When the good are silent, evil wins!

Never forget the victims of the Second World War who were disenfranchised and cruelly and systematically murdered.

Remembering is not letting the past become the future!

mod

Every responsible, independent-minded person has a responsibility to oppose injustice, not to retaliate but to prepare a peaceful and free future for all.

All over the world, forces are gaining strength that range from right-wing to fascist and offer simple solutions for a world of complex interrelationships.

They use lies, propaganda and division to try to dissolve social consensus in order to come to power in chaos.

As democrats, we must stand up to these forces in order to ultimately protect our own freedom and the freedom of others.

mod

There are islands of democracies in the world surrounded by dictatorships that want to kill these islands to enforce their own interests and that does not mean freedom!

His will to absolute self-destruction was more related to the country than to the Nazis, unfortunately! The guilt was never really acknowledged by the perpetrators but only accepted by the generations after theirs.
