– Snowman bent down in three days, but didn't break. The astonishment was great, why?
Program listener asked.

Nature program expert answers:
In certain temperatures around zero degrees snow can become amorphous. Snow flakes merge together and slowly form ice or melt. It is a third form of snow that is both liquid and solid and shifts and adjusts to loads. In the case of the photo, the snowman has started to bend, but doesn't break because of being amorphous.

Ernst, why are you not participating in the Tesla Action Days? Do you not want to storm the Tesla factory we will have to decide if we want to build busses or cargo bikes there instead, block roads like farmers do and burn some people's Tesla? Do you not want to defend a forest against a factory expansion?

>>16320
>Do you not want to defend a forest against a factory expansion?
No, too busy cutting down a forest for a wind turbine expansion.

>>16320
I think it's great! We need to protect the German environment that would be damaged by the expansion of the factory. Germans are the victims of Tesla's expansion I'm more concerned with.

>>16320
I want to go to Germany and destroy American property

>>16324
Would rather produce busses or cargo bikes in the captured factory?

>>16325

Let's discuss anti-Israel protests in West. Only American boomers (who will soon die off) support Israel, Europeans and young American people (especially top university students = future presidents and congressmen) stand with Palestine.

What will happen to Israel somewhere in 20-30 years, given that it has nuclear weapons? If USA stops its support and even embargoes it, its economic level can fall somewhere to North Korea tier. The question is whether Israelis will accept it. Or would they prefer to give up their nukes and dismantle their state, like it was with South Africa.

>>16329
>Let's discuss anti-Israel protests in West. Only American boomers (who will soon die off) support Israel, Europeans and young American people (especially top university students = future presidents and congressmen) stand with Palestine.

Do you think these people voicing an opinion have enough weight to steer American foreign politics?

So far I don't see why the US should stop supporting Israel and future congresspeople will eventually understand that America needs this regional power (that it is thanks to American support) in the Middle East and will find it further. That is as long as the Middle East is interesting to the US at least.

>>16330
> Do you think these people voicing an opinion have enough weight to steer American foreign politics?
Yes, because it's not just deplorables (like with immigration issue), but all the levels of social pyramid which will be dominantly pro-Palestine.

> will eventually understand that America needs this regional power (that it is thanks to American support) in the Middle East
It can be another power, not Israel. Supporting small pariah country antagonizes USA with the rest of Middle East.

The entire America needs Israel as a forward base in the ME is the biggest Chicken-and-egg meme in geopolitical history where the ethnonarcissistic Jews conned the Anglos into supporting the establishing of Israel after the Holocaust.
>Everyone hates us in the Middle East, so we need Israel!
>We support Israel so everyone hates us in the Middle East!
Repeat endlessly.

There's zero fucking reason that the West couldn't just set up some Arab strongman to use as a breaching point in the region.
The case for Israel is primarily a moral one. (And of course, the AIPAC mafia's self-interest keeping the cash flowing. So Israel's existence is a moral case and a tribal case. Nothing more.)

>>16331
>but all the levels of social pyramid which will be dominantly pro-Palestine

Proof me wrong but my impression is that nobody cares much for Palestine in the US and more about the US and its position in the world besides some leftist (college) people. These people condemn US and Israeli imperialism but most people in the US do not condemn US imperialism given that its imperialism has been going strong for a long time now. One is not wrong to claim they actually support it. They might question what kind of imperialism is feasible, though.

>>16332
>the ethnonarcissistic Jews conned the Anglos into supporting the establishing of Israel after the Holocaust
You talk like a fag and your shit's retarded.

>There's zero fucking reason that the West couldn't just set up some Arab strongman to use as a breaching point in the region.
And yet they came to regret it.

>>16329
>Only American boomers (who will soon die off) support Israel
You can't discount the Evangelical Christians. So long as they remain a political force in the Southern US, support for Israel is non-negotiable. Jesus needs Jerusalem for His throne or some such thing.

Is this the plan which should be trusted?

>>16333
Dunno tbh, I'm an outsider. But it seems that for politically active people in West Israel/Palestine is a very important issue, people constantly talk and protest about it. Leftist parties have designated Palestine tab on their websites and for mainstream right-wingers "God curses those who curse Israel". Here people never gave a fuck about Middle East (despite Russia actively supporting Bashar Asad)

>>16342
>for politically active people in West Israel/Palestine is a very important issue

Oh, it surely is. But I would say that besides anti-imperialist leftists and political muslims/islamists and "da evil jooce" right wingers, people are not generally against Israel and its government/ reason of state for example. They might condemn this not-very humanistic way of bombing a small strip of land and the people in it living into pieces, though. The vicitms of this war are the reason to further go on with it.

>>16343
>Imperialists/Colonialists are not generally against genocide
Big surprise.

>>16345
My intention was not to be surprising.

>>16349
So you are aware that there can be no fee Palestine as long as European / Americans are not exterminated or re-educated? Israel is one of the last remaining colonies, and the Holocaust is used to justify it's existence. Either the lie of the Holocaust needs to be thoroughly debunked or Europe must be destroyed to destroy Israel and give Palestine back to Palestinians.


Our maybe you are not ready to exterminate the Jews? Then, YOU are an impetialist and should be killed. Do the world a favor and become an hero for the abri-imperialust cause! Commit a suicide bombing at some Synagogue and Palestine will be free from the river to the sea, like you want it!

>>16352

The stupidity of an obedient dog. Israel or Palestine? Nationalist projects are for the graveyard of history.

>>16356
I agree! There will be one ummah and one Caliphate!

>>16368
I wonder how aware you are of your mistake in that witty response.

>>16370
You smug little magot.
Either you have Israel-or you have free Palestine, can't have both. You want a free Palestine, so you need to do away with the Israeli population. You do not say it out loud, but that's the obvious consequence. Second shoah, done by proud antifascists! But wouldn't do to say it out loud, because you are a hypocrite, like all leftists.

You say you don't want a Palestinian nation, or nations at all. The Muslims agree with you! They don't want that, either. They want a supra-national theocracy!

By the way, who was sent to Solovetsky immediatly after the revolution? The useful idiots, like you. Who would be stoned first after a hypothetical islamic revolution in Europe? Your guess. Probably even before the homosexuals.

What is the mistake? The mistake is engaging with a useful idiot, like you.

The worst thing is that you know all of this, but you pretend not to. Because it's the *intellectual* *moral* *high-status* position to take.

>>16352
> to exterminate
I would put religious people on the same level as flat-earthers; something is seriously wrong with their mind.
It would be nice, if we could exterminate stupidity from humanity, that I totally agree with. But senseless killing hasn't shown effective. People calling for such therefor increase the level of stupidity humanity has to endure.

>>16344

Also, this.

>>16372
>They don't want that, either. They want a supra-national

Supra-national is not anti-national. 🤦🏽


That said: GS - no partisanship for stupidity. It took me some time to understand that position.

Take into account that by 2030 India will become superpower, and Israel won't need United States anymore.

>>16372
I would not call other people useful idiots if I uncritically eat every dog food served within the economic-political and moral scaffolding this world is relying upon, bro.

The difference between you and me is that you view the world through a heavy moralist lens the AfD for example is so popular because it more or less exclusively caters to people's morals. That's their (wimpy) political program whereas I am of the conviction that these morals are not something to adhere to. That is what I know and you apprently don't.

>I would put religious people on the same level as flat-earthers; something is seriously wrong with their mind.

The problem is that majority of people are silly and need meaning in their life. If you remove faith, they'll feel the void in their souls by drugs or some ideology, much more harmful and delusional than classic religions.

>Noncompetes are also seen in endorsement deals that restrict contracts an athlete might pursue with other brands. Coaches’ contracts sometimes contain noncompetes that limit their ability to join rivals, such as when Bobby Petrino was blocked from leaving one SEC school for another.

>Noncompetes are also central to the administration of professional sports leagues. The PGA Tour’s ability to suspend golfers for joining LIV Golf was predicated on those golfers contractually agreeing the PGA Tour could block them. The same is true when pro tennis and pro rodeo leagues have barred athletes from joining competing leagues. The NFL’s ability to limit coaches from interviewing with other teams during the postseason could also receive scrutiny should a coach challenge those limitations.

I am Confucius.

While your post hasn't much outside of emotional information, I feel like you wanna point towards something. Since your posts lack factual information, all I can do is some guess work.
Do we have the same definition and separation of "religious" and "spiritual"?
e.g. ~"religion" is the act of forcing your believe system upon the next generation via laws, propaganda, force and indoctrination from childbirth on - often symbolized by either cutting off parts of reproductive organs, LARPing a drowning or something of that sort at very early stages of ones life.
> You either follow us, or we kill you - or even worse, cut your reproductive organs off completely.
Granted, the human is naive and not everyone trapped in a religious believe system is the devil himself - but they are still stupid for still following and enabling it.
Aren't we, as scientific community, even in agreement that the "dark ages", where religious power was at it's greatest, was a time where humanity barely progressed, if not even degenerated? - Pointing towards that with the Galileo habbening. (And we are pretty certain today, that Galileo was by far not the first. Not even by a millenia.)

Assuming todays religious people are any different from those in history is nothing but wishful thinking. Still power hungry idiots, that wouldn't be able to survive without a social community supporting their needs.

~"spiritual", on the other hand, I would define as something more of an intrinsic value to some/all humans. There is a lot out there which we cannot explain. Doesn't matter if we look into science or fantasy. Maybe there is something beyond our senses (most certainly; our senses are super limited and fine tuned to our earthly habitat). Maybe there is not. A single divine being? Multiple spirits? One love? One consciousness web everyone is connected to? Everyone is free to believe, what they assume to be the most likely reality.
Not sure if "intrinsic" is the right label/word for this, but I would categorize this as something
~"mainly originating and/or confirmed by ones self" -> spiritual
~"mainly top->down, enforced by orga" -> religious
there certainly is some overlap - especially if you are born in a religious surrounding - but I would argue it's caused by the general stupidity of humanity and the naive assumption that your surrounding, which raised you, only wants the best for you.

srsly, I do not get religious people. just read your fucking "holy" text. do you believe in slavery? dragons? [...] It's simply insane people still argue something like that is "moral" or "real" in our current age. And don't you dare start with "but I only like lines xx to yy from the holy text." - don't fucking call the whole text 'holy' in that case.

Flat-earthers, just like religious people, don't want to see the world for what it actual is. They prefer to live in their own fantasy and ignore any logic and reason. (Or am I wrong here?)

>>16381
actually good point. The human is fragile.
> the void in their souls
why not fill it with the urge to conquer space? or create the ultimate A.I. sex-bot?
taking away religion without something to replace it could be even worse, for sure.

>>16391
>Since your posts lack factual information, all I can do is some guess work.
Definitely a good choice in retrospective, as it allows me to see you bring up even more points that would be out of place in a pop history magazine for children - all punctuated by the smugness of a man whose sole reason for not sentencing the ones he sees as mentally unwell to death is that "senseless killing hasn't shown effective".

>Do we have the same definition and separation of "religious" and "spiritual"?
Of course not, you have an imbecile's definition of religiousness, whose defining traits are obscurantism, oppression and genital mutilation. I don't know if you really believe sentencing apostates to death is a fundamental criteria for religious belief, but I must take your potato headed ignorance at face value. In a sensible definition, religion is to be understood as a system of cults, beliefs and modes of worship practiced by a community of believers. Spirituality being the ethereal base for all of this.
Being the intellectual equivalent of a worm, you're eager to shit on the formal and organized system while giving credence to the broader and more mystical non-denominational 'spirituality' - a creed that exists in our modern Europe as an unexamined and uncategorized sludge of very limited knowledge of various traditions all condensed together by people sporting mandala tattoos and drug induced brain damage. Not that I think you, yourself, are a spiritual person in any way. You've just suspended your core rationality and scientism long to enough to adopt the idea that there's something laudable in this sort of spirituality at some point - I could only try to guess why, but I'll spare you from it. Instead, in my next post ("body too long") - I'll make the case as to why, even in a rational and non-religious ideal society, you should be sentenced to a burning in the public square.

>Aren't we, as scientific community, even in agreement that the "dark ages", where religious power was at it's greatest, was a time where humanity barely progressed, if not even degenerated? - Pointing towards that with the Galileo habbening. (And we are pretty certain today, that Galileo was by far not the first. Not even by a millenia.)
This quotation alone would be enough to convince a merciful deity to sentence you to spend multiple lifetimes in purgatory wearing a dunce's hat. But we don't have such a deity to arbitrate, so we must break this tremendous sentence into bite sized pieces for the potato mind.
Scientific community - If we were a proper scientific community, we would not use terms of such questionable historiographical merit as "Dark Ages". But in the event that we, as a scientific community, would use this loaded term in a meaningful way, maybe refering to the early middle ages, maybe reaching all the way to the Renaissance period. I wish I could crack your square head open and understand what you actually mean by this term - to see what historiographical horrors lay dormant inside this Hun mind. What was this dark age? What did it entail? When did it end? 1789 with the French Revolution? 1971 with the release of John Lennon's Imagine? Good lord, by Galileo's trial, we already past the Renaissance and mere decades before the age of enlightenment. Was all of history up until then just a time of obscurantism and religious repression? How does a mind buy wholesale into such a simplistic notion? Was it all through pop culture osmosis or did you ever try to learn about the periods you discount as Dark Ages? Only through preserving your brain in a formaldehyde solution can we hope to one day, in the near future, have answers to these questions. Maybe then, future generations will run a scalpel through your brain, slice off the appropriate sections, place them into some advanced machine and only then will we know what you meant to say by Galileo "not being the first by a millenia". It's definitely a curious case to single out, it has all the trappings of secular power - a favored subject losing his patron's protection and encouragement due to court intrigue, nearly a century after Copernicus' work - and being sentenced to house arrest. It's almost a white washing of the crimes of the Catholic Church to single out this event as the example you'd bring forward, but I'm not looking to help you in formulating your half-baked theories.

>Assuming todays religious people are any different from those in history is nothing but wishful thinking.
Assuming today's manichaean ideologues who believe themselves sole holders of the truth are any different from the previous scourge is what's wishful thinking.

>I do not get religious people. just read your fucking "holy" text. do you believe in slavery? dragons? [...] It's simply insane people still argue something like that is "moral" or "real" in our current age.
I think you should mail these findings to whoever is holding service at your closest highway church, I'm sure they haven't considered the fundamental contradictions at play. You could be a modern day John the Baptist for redditesque atheism.

The narrative spun by that Germanposter reflects somewhat what I was taught in school. Not factually, but after forgetting enough details what remained was a vague impression that the middle ages were bad, enlightenment was good but all of that is mostly irrelevant when compared to the more recent history of the 20th century.

I'm sure you know that WW2 takes up more than half of the history curriculum in most schools here. Since most students can't find genuine interest in the subject being taught it boils down to heavily compressed anecdotes being remembered, if at all.

For reasons I don't dare to guess I found some interest in the subject of history roughly 5 years after being done with school. The past decade was filled with moments of realisations that my understanding of the past was less of an understanding and more of a caricature of history.

What I'm trying to say is: You're shitting on the little people, Mr. Portugal!

But don't worry, everything will be better when schools are replaced by AI teachers hosted in the Microsoft cloud.
