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.

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”.

Trump has spent a lifetime mocking the US military.

That's a fact.

He said it. He said all of it.

And then religion came into the world and with it the claim to absolute truth.

Those who possess the absolute truth do not allow any other truths.

This is the root of all evil.

Which is really not surprising. You have to imagine that most of the men and women who fought against Nazi violence in the Second World War were rather conservative.

Antifascism has no idiotic background but only the realisation that this ideology is absolutely hateful and deeply inhuman.

The new fascist movements worldwide don't wear doc martens and are no longer skinheads, the wolf has eaten chalk and now wears a suit and costume. Only the slogans are the same, there are always some enemies of the people who are to blame for everything and anything.

The only thing that has really changed is that the fascists today no longer act as perpetrators but always slip into the role of victims, which makes them even more pathetic than they already are.

Their wretchedness goes so far that they even take money from their arch-enemy the Russians or the Chinese to further the social division in the democracies.

They are therefore also traitors to their country in the truest sense of the word.

To put it in their jargon pests of the people.

The irony is that in the world they want, they would have to shoot themselves for high treason.

Here are a few historical pictures of antifa during the liberation from the fascist master race.

Resist the beginnings because the only way to win is to tell the better story. So tell of the successes of democracy and its benefits for us all.

This is the way to counter the lies and propaganda.

As active members of democracy, it is currently the only guarantor of freedom for all on the basis of equality. Even if democracies are cumbersome in their decision-making processes and make mistakes. In dictatorships there are no mistakes and no freedom - that should be clear to everyone. Be a part of a democracy by actively participating in it.

Capitalism has shown for 150 years that it is not the solution, but only a few parameters need to be changed in the right direction to create a better path for the future.

At the moment there is no social utopia as there once was, because all the social utopias of the past have only resulted in injustice, so a new social utopia must be conceived.

After all, the old ones ultimately proved to be of little use and were always to the detriment of many people and to the benefit of some.

D-day is the day on which the antifa heralded the twilight of fascism.

Every dead anti-fascist has brought freedom to Europe and the world from the mass murderers who brutalize humanity.

To ensure that this never happens again, all democracy and its citizens have a duty to stand up when fascism shows its face.

If you have eyes and recognize evil, you must fight it. If you don't, then why do you have eyes if you are blind.

Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

In Copenhagen, he stood at the traffic light in the pouring rain, looked out the driver's side window, and saw her. She had shoulder-length hair in a miniskirt and blouse, both completely wet like her hair. He looked at her uncurled leg and saw that she was sitting on a bicycle with her shoe in a small puddle.

After that, he never complained about the rain again. He always thought of her when it rained and he was at a traffic light.
