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.

mod

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.

3,000 dollar tent for Cybertruck causes little enthusiasm

The Basecamp attachment looks completely different to the originally advertised design, and the ‘tent mode’ in the instructions doesn't even exist yet.

Our recommendation: sewing it yourself is cheaper.

Or...... old concept.

Then They're Sure To Like It Too .

Why is the Cybertruck not authorised in Germany?

According to a TÜV expert, Tesla's Cybertruck would not be authorised in Germany. Occupants are therefore not safe in the electric pick-up - ‘even airbags won't help’

Why does the Cybertruck rust?

Causes of rust formation on the Cybertruck

One theory is that so-called ‘rail dust’, metallic particles that get onto the vehicle during transport by train and later start to rust, could be responsible for the rust spots.

Yes, of course my Audi also came by train, but this rail-dust probably doesn't exist here as it's complete rubbish.

Please investigate scientifically why other car manufacturers have totally solved the problem.

Since mid-April, Greek ferries no longer take electric cars with a battery that is too full. That must be because of the weight, right?

Question: Belongs to Elon Musk - letter X can only be used for a fee?

The Financial Times has reported that @xAI is seeking investment of up to $6bn at a valuation of $20bn. Note: Elon has basically denied the numerous recent reports that xAI is raising money.

Tesla the inventor was a genius, the Tesla brand is just the toy of a hasardeur with a maker myth.

Everything he does is as sustainable as trying to put out a big fire with a bucket.

It's all about generating money, that's ok, but he's not the man for a new utopia. He's just the man who can make money from the future.

mod

When a man's ego is so big that everyone gives him money because he makes even more money out of it. It's probably just greed.... At some point, he does charity work to improve his image. So this is a mafia boss taking care of the children of the lawyer he killed. A complete joke. I love it when they think they are benefactors of mankind, first driving up grain prices on the commodity exchange and making fat money. While the world food organisation can't help people because of the high costs. But then they open a poor kitchen in Chicago. The example can be applied to anything and is called exploitation.

Any of the morally rotten so far from real journalism populistrn mouthpieces of trumpes grace are ethically bankrupt.

The network has claimed the voting machines didn't work properly: openly on the air without any evidence!

In court they retracted the statement and had to pay 700 million US dollars in compensation.

the last instance for truth on verification of the facts are still the courts!

If the facts say you broke the law and even the most expensive legal team can't save your ass, justice has been done regardless of gender, skin color, sexual orientation or political affiliation.

It still works, smug truth-tellers on the dark side of non-journalism.

It is perplexing that the perpetrators of these actions remain at large. In any other country, they would likely face more severe consequences. Attempting to overthrow the government is tantamount to treason.

When all the facts are considered and the loss of lives of people who protected the Capitol with their ultimate good, their lives, is taken into account, it is difficult to comprehend the events that have followed to this day.

The perpetrator continues as before and even has the option of becoming president, even as a convicted felon.

It is imperative that every single cell of the anti-democrats, and we mean the system and not the party, be eliminated with all state means. There are sufficient legal avenues to pursue these hate-fuelled fanatics.

In addition to their mouthpieces, the propaganda stations and media should be subject to libel suits. This will require learning through financial losses.

Democracy is not weak; it just has to exhaust its resources without mercy to put its opponents and intellectual arsonists in their place.

There is only one freedom, and that is the one that has been agreed upon in a democracy. There are rules and norms that are the same for all people who live in it, without exception.

There are no two realities. Facts are facts, and lies do not become true if you repeat them a thousand times.

Should an American president engage in criminal activities while in office and then attempt to cover them up by presenting them as official business, he will remain unpunished.

Should An American President Engage In Criminal Activities While In Office And Then Attempt To Cover

It is a matter of concern that the more intelligent and criminal a future American president, regardless of party, may be, the greater the likelihood of them being able to avoid prosecution.

This represents a significant challenge to the integrity of the American justice system. It also raises concerns about the future of American democracy.

The highest court of the United States of America has once again demonstrated that it is not neutral in its decisions.

Any impartial jurist will question what the next step might be for those who have been granted such a favourable outcome. This could include acquittal for white collar crimes, bribery, and other forms of criminal activity.

Such a scenario would be beneficial for those who have been accused of such offences and who are seeking to become president.

mod

Update from July 1, 4:47 p.m.: The US Supreme Court has issued a ruling on the immunity of US presidents from criminal prosecution. The President enjoys partial, but not complete immunity. It is a partial victory for Donald Trump.

On the question of whether former presidents are protected from prosecution, the court in Washington ruled that immunity applies at least for official acts. This is likely to further delay the start of a possible trial against Trump for attempted election fraud. It is considered unlikely that the trial will start before the US election in November.

"The president does not enjoy immunity for his unofficial actions, and not everything the president does is official. The President is not above the law," the decision states. This leaves open which parts of the indictment against Trump still stand in Washington. The Supreme Court did not clarify this question. It is now up to the competent lower court to find out which actions Trump's immunity applies to. This is likely to be a lengthy process.

The ruling was made by six votes to three. The majority of judges, who are considered to be arch-conservative, agreed with the decision in principle. The three judges considered to be liberal dissented.

Supreme Court decides on immunity issue: Trump hopes for absolution

Initial report: Washington, D.C. - What is Donald Trump allowed to do? This question could be answered by the highest court on July 1. This is because the Supreme Court in the USA is ending its current session. The four outstanding rulings are due to be announced on Monday. This includes a decision on Trump, who wants to run again against incumbent Joe Biden in the 2024 US election in November. The 78-year-old had requested that he be granted "absolute presidential immunity" against criminal prosecution.

Trump is claiming immunity in criminal proceedings at federal level, among other things. The trial in the capital, Washington, is about his attempts to hold on to power after his defeat in the 2020 presidential election. The special prosecutor in charge of the case, Jack Smith, who brought charges against Trump in August 2023, rejects the former head of state's claim. The proceedings have been suspended until the Supreme Court has ruled on the issue of immunity.

Does Donald Trump have "absolute" immunity? Supreme Court issues ruling

According to lower court rulings, a former president does not enjoy "absolute" immunity from prosecution. US District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who presided over Trump's election fraud case, ruled that an incumbent president "cannot be given a lifelong carte blanche". A three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals also later unanimously rejected Trump's claims and, according to ABC News, warned that "absolute presidential immunity" would ultimately "collapse our system of separation of powers".

At oral arguments before the Supreme Court in April, the court's conservative majority had indicated support for the notion that former presidents should enjoy some protection from prosecution in certain cases. However, the majority of the court was skeptical of Trump's demand for "absolute presidential immunity". After all, Trump's legal team had even argued that a president who orders the assassination of his political rival could also be protected from prosecution.

Supreme Court decision on Trump's "absolute" immunity: consequences for the US election

The decision on Trump's "absolute" immunity follows a potentially far-reaching ruling in favor of those who stormed the Capitol in Washington in 2021: After the attack on the parliament building, prosecutors had gone too far in some cases, the Supreme Court had ruled on Friday (June 28). The Court specifically overturned an indictment against former police officer Joseph Fischer, who had stormed the seat of Congress in Washington together with hundreds of other people.

The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism.

Sociopath

Sociopath

Sociopaths are people who suffer from a dissocial personality disorder. They have difficulty forming long-term relationships. Others often describe them as unscrupulous, callous or manipulative. You are extremely willing to take risks and behave irresponsibly in the eyes of others. Sometimes you come into conflict with the law.

Sociopath

What is the difference between a sociopath and a psychopath?

In specialist literature, the two terms sociopath and psychopath are not always strictly separated, although a distinction is useful. Psychopathy is the most extreme form of a dissocial personality disorder. While the sociopath acts impulsively, the psychopath plans his actions precisely and acts coolly and deliberately. There are the following differences in behaviour:

Sociopaths have feelings such as fear or anger. They quickly feel attacked and then react aggressively. This behaviour gets them into trouble and ensures that relationships are usually only superficial and short-lived.

Psychopaths, on the other hand, have themselves well under control. They also lack compassion, but they are very good at covering up this lack of empathy.

Psychopaths are highly functional and usually well integrated into society. They are extremely manipulative and easily gain the trust of others. As they can exploit others cold-bloodedly and unscrupulously, they are very dangerous.

There are also thought to be differences in the development of both clinical pictures. Experts believe that sociopathy is more likely to be triggered by a childhood trauma. The typical sociopath has almost always experienced abuse, violence or neglect as a child. Their antisocial behaviour often even serves as a survival strategy. Psychopathy, on the other hand, appears to be innate.

In psychopaths, the areas of the brain responsible for impulse control and empathy are not properly developed from birth.

The treatment options and prognoses are correspondingly different. While a dissocial personality disorder can be treated psychotherapeutically - an approach that plays a major role in the reintegration of offenders into society - it is apparently not possible to cure a genuine psychopath. Some experts even assume that the symptoms can be exacerbated by treatment. Accordingly, psychopaths have the highest recidivism rate among offenders.

Why pursue therapeutic measures when one can simply engage in the overtly illicit act? One need only join a party, and the criminal behaviour will be resolved when one has sufficient influence to petition a judge.

mod

Regardless of the fact that the act is an assassination, the assassin has given the emotionally unstable individual and his party, which acts without moral constraints, a considerable advantage.

mod

Sociopath

Causes of dissocial personality disorder

How an antisocial personality develops has not yet been conclusively clarified. Most scientists today assume a combination of genetic and environmental factors:

Genetic disposition: the likelihood of antisocial behavior is higher if one or both parents have already been affected by the disorder. A scientific study of twins has also confirmed that there is an overall genetic predisposition to all personality disorders. Other favorable factors are probably anxiety disorders, depression, alcoholism, drug addiction and suicide risk in the family.

Traumatic childhood experiences: Physical violence, sexual abuse and other traumatic relationship experiences in childhood increase the risk of developing antisocial personality disorder.

Serotonin deficiency: A lack of the neurotransmitter serotonin presumably ensures that sociopaths are unable to react adequately to emotional signals and generally feel less fear. On the one hand, this explains the lack of empathy for the suffering of others, but also the strong tendency towards risk-taking behavior. Some experts assume that people with a dissocial personality are generally understimulated. This is why they are constantly looking for a "kick" - on the one hand in dangerous sports, but also in criminal acts on the other.

Neurophysiological factors: Imaging studies indicate dysfunction in the prefrontal cortex of the brain in antisocial personalities. This is likely to be the trigger for the extreme emotional coldness, especially in the strongest form of psychopathy.

Signs: How to recognize a sociopath

People with antisocial disorder stand out due to their socially intolerant behavior. This often becomes apparent in childhood and adolescence.

Possible signs of a dissocial personality can be

Lack of empathy

Sociopath

emotional coldness

pronounced egocentric behavior

Lack of a sense of guilt and responsibility

Low frustration tolerance

strong impulsiveness

violence

Problems entering into long-term relationships

High willingness to take risks

Disregard for social norms and laws

Diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder

Both the ICD-10 and DSM-V classification criteria can be used to diagnose the personality disorder.

According to ICD-10, dissocial personalities must have

character abnormalities such as egocentrism, lack of empathy and a lack of conscience and

there must be a considerable discrepancy between the behavior displayed and social norms. Criminal acts may occur, but are not essential for the diagnosis.

For a clear diagnosis, organic causes must have been ruled out.

In addition, at least three of the following characteristics must be fulfilled:

The affected person has a lack of empathy and shows callousness towards others.

He (or she) shows a clear and persistent irresponsible attitude and repeatedly disregards social norms and obligations.

He (or she) is unable to maintain lasting attachments or relationships with other people, although he (or she) has no difficulty forming relationships.

He has a low frustration tolerance and often behaves impulsively or aggressively.

The affected person feels little or no guilt and is unable to learn from negative experiences, especially punishment.

He tends to blame others or make excuses to explain his behavior, which has brought him into conflict with society.

The DSM-V is based on similar behavioral patterns, but emphasizes the criminal component, which manifests itself, for example, in violations of the law. In addition, according to this classification, the person affected must be at least 18 years old for the disorder to be reliably diagnosed, and the conspicuous behavior must have been apparent since at least the age of 15.

Those who don't fit the world picture are deported, imprisoned, sentenced, and locked away. Based on the exceptions indicated by those in power, martial law can be imposed.

Power is seized,

the state is reorganized,

crises are created at home,

threats are made, and people are purged.

The seizure of power is consolidated through intolerance, and all state positions will be filled anew.

NEW YORK (AP) Peter Buxtun, The Whistleblower Who Revealed That The U.S. Government Allowed Hundreds

NEW YORK (AP) — Peter Buxtun, the whistleblower who revealed that the U.S. government allowed hundreds of Black men in rural Alabama to go untreated for syphilis in what became known as the Tuskegee study, has died. He was 86.

Buxtun died May 18 of Alzheimer’s disease in Rocklin, California, according to his attorney, Minna Fernan.

Buxtun is revered as a hero to public health scholars and ethicists for his role in bringing to light the most notorious medical research scandal in U.S. history. Documents that Buxtun provided to The Associated Press, and its subsequent investigation and reporting, led to a public outcry that ended the study in 1972.

Forty years earlier, in 1932, federal scientists began studying 400 Black men in Tuskegee, Alabama, who were infected with syphilis. When antibiotics became available in the 1940s that could treat the disease, federal health officials ordered that the drugs be withheld. The study became an observation of how the disease ravaged the body over time.

In the mid-1960s, Buxtun was a federal public health employee working in San Francisco when he overheard a co-worker talking about the study. The research wasn’t exactly a secret — about a dozen medical journal articles about it had been published in the previous 20 years. But hardly anyone had raised any concerns about how the experiment was being conducted.

“This study was completely accepted by the American medical community,” said Ted Pestorius of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, speaking at a 2022 program marking the 50th anniversary of the end of the study.

Buxtun had a different reaction. After learning more about the study, he raised ethical concerns in a 1966 letter to officials at the CDC. In 1967, he was summoned to a meeting in Atlanta, where he was chewed out by agency officials for what they deemed to be impertinence. Repeatedly, agency leaders rejected his complaints and his call for the men in Tuskegee to be treated.

He left the U.S. Public Health Service and attended law school, but the study ate at him. In 1972, he provided documents about the research to Edith Lederer, an AP reporter he had met in San Francisco. Lederer passed the documents to AP investigative reporter Jean Heller, telling her colleague, “I think there might be something here.”

Heller’s story was published on July 25, 1972, leading to Congressional hearings, a class-action lawsuit that resulted in a $10 million settlement and the study’s termination about four months later. In 1997, President Bill Clinton formally apologized for the study, calling it “shameful.”

The leader of a group dedicated to the memory of the study participants said Monday they are grateful to Buxtun for exposing the experiment.

“We are thankful for his honesty and his courage,” said Lille Tyson Head, whose father was in the study.
