Apocalypse Now is a 1979 anti-war film by director Francis Ford Coppola set during the Vietnam War. It is loosely based on Joseph Conrad's story Heart of Darkness and Michael Herr's Vietnam War report Dispatches.

Dispatches (book) - Wikipedia

Heart of Darkness (original title: Heart of Darkness) is a story by Joseph Conrad that was first published in three installments in Blackwood's Magazine in 1899 and was also published in book form in November 1902. In this story, the sailor Charlie Marlow tells friends about his journey in Central Africa as captain of a river steamer. There he witnessed unprecedented cruelty towards the natives and increasingly doubted the justifications for exploitation, but his influential London friends involved in the exploitation of colonies were unimpressed by Marlow's shock.

Conrad's narrative is a contribution to the discussion of English colonialism and racism at the end of Queen Victoria's reign. The story, too short for a novel and too long for a novella, is now considered one of the most important works of prose in the English language.

Plato's words, “Only the dead have seen the end of war”, convey a profound insight into the nature of war and its ongoing devastation. For many, war means loss, trauma and despair.

Apocalypse Now - Wikipedia

The film impressed me so much because of the images about the truthfulness of the absolute disappearance of the thin layer of our human civilization in the transition to darkness.

For this reason, I am a pacifist because any means of violence shows the failure of human civilization.

You have to understand pacifism in an absolutely new form, you don't hold out the other hand when you are beaten! Instead, you do everything in advance to avoid being hit. Should all this fail, one considers oneself a defensive pacifist and defends oneself by all means.

If you don't show the street thugs a red line, you are just a victim. Unconditional pacifism only works with civilized people, but not with power-abusing, egotistical, self-absorbed beings who think they belong to the human species.

We as humanity are constantly proving that we learn nothing from history, and that across generations.

The Magdeburg Wedding (also known as the Blood Wedding, Magdeburg's Sacrifice or, more generally, Magdeburgization) refers to the conquest and complete devastation of the city of Magdeburg by imperial troops under Tilly and Pappenheim on 10 May / 20 May 1631greg. in the course of the Thirty Years' War.

Magdeburgizing

A term for the destruction of a city, a completely barbaric arbitrary targeted violence against normal people of a city by an army has created this word. Long forgotten but still highly current.

The devastation went so far that Magdeburg went down in the history of the Thirty Years' War as a symbol of destruction and cruelty with the term “Magdeburgizing”.

Where has the truthfulness gone with all the believers? Where is the humanity? Where is the humility? Where is the compassion? Where is the love for every creature? Where do all the injuries come from that turn into insults?

How could all the hatred, resentment and all the other non-Christian attributes have caused this?

If it happened, explain it to us.

There are days when I just feel like I've been sucked dry.

Vampires simply know no self-control!

Lusy's last sentence could have been written in dracula.

Abraham „Bram“ Stoker more or less

In 1890, Stoker met the Hungarian professor Arminius Vámbéry, who told him about the legend of the Romanian prince Vlad III Drăculea (Dracula). From this character, Stoker developed the figure of the vampire Dracula. Stoker worked on this vampire novel for seven years until it was published on May 18, 1897.

John William Polidori, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and Bram Stoker can be regarded as the founding fathers of the modern vampire myth. While the former aroused general interest in the figure of the vampire, it was Bram Stoker who shaped the specific image of the vampire.

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873), known as the author of classic ghost and vampire stories, especially “Carmilla”, the story of a lesbian vampire that inspired Bram Stoker's “Dracula”, among others, dispenses with all spookiness in “The Murdered Cousin” and - anticipating Alfred Hitchcock's technique of suspense - allows tension to arise solely from the announced horror, which is inevitably fulfilled step by step.

We are atheists but this is our favorite song about the lord.

It has to be said that it doesn't specify exactly which lord is meant.

the one of the light or the other so we find the song even more awesome.

We often listen to the song under the image of the fallen angel and drink mass wine until the Lord touches us or the God of wine.

Just putting up the volume and dancing around the table with a glass of wine in your hand is a real spiritual experience. Well, we mean that seriously even as atheists. This is life, pure life!

The more rounds you dance and wine you drink with the song looped, the better it gets.

We recommend a 2018 Masi Costasera Amarone - 3l double magnum in a wooden box to make sure that the tipple will be remembered in every respect.

Then a toast to the sweet lord in the name of the Roman god Bacchus and his brother the Greek god Dionysus.

To be honest, we manipulated the poll, the lord must have influenced us.

By the way, we are not Satanists. If you look at the history of mankind, the Satanists have really done less damage than other religious communities.

This is what equality looks like!

Taiwan has nothing to do with China, it is not China because it is a democracy.

No matter what XI pulls out of its hair as a historical justification on the basis of such claims, Europe would still be Roman.

For a free and democratic Taiwan, let the other democracies realize that they can only stand together against the dictatorships.

China is overestimated and overestimates itself and that is exactly the point where it will tip over without outside influences. The Chinese youth have been given the promise that if they study they can practice what they have studied. Somehow apolitical, but not if the promise cannot be kept by the Communist Party XI. There are already measures on the part of the CP to bring all these unemployed academics who are supported by their parents to the countryside to work in inadequate jobs. These are still only measures and not coercive measures, but that can change at any time.

If parents are no longer able to support their children, dissatisfaction will increase, to the detriment of the CP. Many young people in China are seeking internal migration and thus a new sense of purpose, as the Communist Party's promise of prosperity and a future has not been fulfilled for them. The party is currently allowing this to happen without intervention, but if they realize the potential and impact it may have on the future of the CP's existence, violence will follow. What they do to other parts of the population, they will do to the youth and put them in re-education camps. So China has a huge problem because their promise that the fate of the party is linked to the prosperity of the people will be broken.

In addition, government spending is immense, not only for the gigantic army but also for all the infrastructure projects that were not necessary. In addition to the environmental problems such as clean air or water.

China is a giant with feet of clay.

That is its weakness, no matter how puffed up it is in relation to the West.

President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan thanks drag queen Nymphia Wind for a great performance

DW reports that Taiwanese drag queen Nymphia Wind (妮妃雅‧瘋) and winner of the TV series “RuPaul’s Drag Race” has performed a medley of songs for outgoing President Tsai Ing-wen, thanking her for being the island’s “mother.”

As you can see from the video, the President enjoyed the performance very much. The president is clearly a strong supporter of the queer and trans communities.
