Why does food and consumables suddenly have to become political?

When will my Steak have Trumps Face printed on it? Do my cornflakes need some jets and other kind of political messages on it? Fuck no.

I just want to eat and drink. And the only thing I need to know from the packaging is what the product is about. Just stop making food political, what the hell is wrong with this world.

Some stupid print on the package is not going to fix this world in any way.

There is no driver of division to rival missionary behaviour.

UserDoesNotExist,

(ㆆ _ ㆆ) why am I not surprised…

UserDoesNotExist,

How would you react if someone prints Jesus Christ, hanging on the cross with bloody hands and feet onto your favourite beer. With a face of pure agony and some letters addressing charity?

Or how would you react if some company prints advertisement of Scientology onto their products.

The only thing that belongs onto a product is something to identify the brand, the expiry date, and what it actually contains.

UserDoesNotExist,

This is just disturbing. It’s almost as weird as Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop products.

UserDoesNotExist,

Yea. And by doing so they just reinforce the problematics. People just need to stop with missionary behaviour. On both sides.

UserDoesNotExist,

Looks like a liquid manure trailer has been parked there for a while.

UserDoesNotExist,

The stuff about energy costs is also nothing to do with taxes but rather Germany’s energy policy missteps.

Nah. To my knowledge we have the second highest tax on energy worldwide. Has always been this way. It’s a tax thing.

Also the author randomly referring to “Genderforschern” und “Gleichstellungsbeauftragten” at the end damages the credibility of the article a lot - seems very culture-war motivated.

The article is written by a left leaning press. So if you allow yourself to suggest non-neutrality, then they should be in favour of your argument.

I agree that the way in which the taxes are implemented and how the bureaucracy works has a major impact though. But this doesn’t mean taxing the rich is imppssible, just needs to be done right, like all policy.

The rich have yachts and housing all around the world. No tax policy can stop them from running and getting citizenship from a country that take skews taxes.

I do. Because you are still here. Arguing on the internet, a cesspool of morons, you and I included.

Rich people waste time arguing with morons on the internet all the time! Have you seen Musk’s Twitter feed lately?

That dude is actively trying to shape the opinion of people for his own interest. I am confident that this is work to him. He already did this with crypto or with the Tesla stock price. It’s marketing and marketing is work as well. All the political left are already supporting the idea of electric vehicles. Now it’s time for the conservatives. And musk is luring them towards his company.

In fact the only reason I am doing this is because I have time to kill; and that’s only possible thanks to the fact that I am wealthy enough to take days off work pretty much whenever I want, without fearing starvation. Unlike ~90% of people globally who live paycheck to paycheck.

So I guess you are not building something yourself? You just work a well paying job? I can’t rly believe that.

The idea that rich people are always busy being productive is simply wrong. I know enough of them personally to know that most of their ‘working’ hours aren’t very strenuous to say the least.

It what kin of rich are you talking about? Is it the super rich, that people claim need to pay higher tax rates? Or is it the “rich” pharmacist or doctor living next door?

Because events, such as Corona and the ausraube war temporarily lower the estimated gains. Losses are expected. So the value weds to be corrected according to those losses.

Have you heard of the 2008 crash? Dot com bubble? SVB, FTX and other crypto crap, etc? Markets crash regularly regardless of Corona or wars.

Yes I heard about them. But these bubbles exploding because of miso reduction into the future. Prediction that was more plausible in earlier stages. And the stock market is in fact trying to project the future. One cannot invest into the past.

Also the fact that markets fail to consider wars and pandemics, whereas experts were warning about these for years before they happened, is further evidence that we can do better than relying on markets for everything.

Nah, the markets acted according to warnings. Especially he Ukraine war. The values dropped, when Russia collected its soldiers at the border, and when US experts warned of the impending attack, publicly, the value dropped even further.

There must be some way to develop a system of knowledge aggregation, decisionmaking, and resource allocation that isn’t prone to ignoring very obvious risks.

An ideal system does not exist. The one we have is fairly reactive.

Greenwashing is only done in media. Company winnings and numbers don’t lie. (Except if they do. Fuck wirecard)

Company winnings and numbers lie all the time. yewtu.be/watch?v=Wx51CffrBIgyewtu.be/watch?v=Y9KPcQqG0ao

Yes, fraud is still a thing. But usually it can be spotted in the data. Sometimes sooner, sometimes later.

There are countless cases of companies making shit up and markets and investors falling for it.

Yea. Such as Theranos? I knew that it was fake back then. I was wrong though with Wirecard. But there is no system resilient against fraud.

UserDoesNotExist,

It’s still something that I wouldn’t tell people on the internet.

Especially if you have family. The Chinese, the Russians, the Israelis,… you just elevated the chances that they know about you. And now they also know that you are the sharing kind. A little bit bragging.

Don’t make yourself a target. Not the smartest thing to do.

UserDoesNotExist,

And for the record, best of luck in your studies. I hold no personal animosity, and a great deal of professional respect, for my counterparts in other militaries.

I do not hold any grudge towards you as well.

We all have a job to do. If that means one of us has to shoot torpedoes at the other, we’ll cross that bridge when the time comes. I do think, however, that you should never underestimate the willingness of the US to go to great lengths to do what it thinks is necessary.

Wars are fought in many levels. And the Ukraine war has already been lost. A financial Desaster to the west. No military power will change that.

Current surveys indicate republicans to be in power next year. And in Europe we also see a shifting in opinion in Schweden, France and Germany towards parties that roan further right and are against weapon deliveries into Ukraine. Quite contrary, they are pro Russia in many ways.

And I don’t judge. But if this development further continues, then all the money wasted on military support is gone. And Russia wins. In a world filled with intercontinental missiles, a war is won politically and economically.

So no matter how wiling and ready the US is, military power cannot rival with economical and political strategies.

UserDoesNotExist,

Wow, how much time did you waste on this one?

Too much.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

You successfully stole a few minutes of my life. Time I could have spent on studying and working further to my ultimate goal: becoming the next German dictator.

(••) ( ••)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■)

Keep going, maybe I’ll actually read the next one.

First I need some unrealistic opinions to react to.

(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ Some more of your beliefs will do just fine.

UserDoesNotExist,

I’m just fascinated with how brains like yours work. Assuming any of this is in good faith, that is.

I am a connoisseur of discussion. A man who enjoys discourse. But indeed what I stated are my firm beliefs. And those beliefs have not yet failed me.

It’s like you just refuse to accept new information that may change how you view things.

It always depends on the information. Some information just has less weight to it.

You’re so resistant to admitting (to yourself, it seems) that you might be wrong, that your brain has “mechanisms” for making sure you never even have to consider the possibility.

Now I feel like I’ve been put on the spot. This might apply on some of my standpoints. But none so far in our discussion here.

Every single point anyone makes, you are able to come up with some “counter” that, in your mind, confirms that you’ve always been right (it doesn’t),

Oh, just because the Information I have given, does not convince you or support your standpoint, doesn’t make it invalid. I’d like to pull up the Infinite Monkey Theorem at this point. A few false informations can also lead to the correct outcome. But now I have lost the thread.

and everyone who’s arguing with you is just trying to trick you into admitting you were wrong, or that you learned something.

And are you not trying to prove me wrong? Is it not, that you claim my standpoints to be somewhat flawed, and yours must be the ultimate ratio?

It can never just be, “hey I didn’t know that about my country, that’s interesting. Maybe I should reconsider…”

I do reconsider when it’s to my benefit. But as said before, my standpoints have yet to fail me.

Because, you know, Germany has been the most financially successful EU nation basically since he inception of the Union, so your counter that worker stake in companies doesn’t work is not based in reality. They’re fucking thriving.

Average wealth per person in Germany is lower than in Italy or Greece. some german article to back up my claims Germany are not thriving. The German government is thriving.

You (allegedly) live there, my guy. Learn about why your own country is so successful.

Because it has the highest and second highest taxes in many sectors. And the government uses this money to influence other countries to their benefit. My people are not thriving. I wished for a concept similar to Switzerland. Still high taxes, but the money stays in the country without attempts to control European politics.

The lengths you will go to avoid learning something new or admitting you might have been wrong about something… Like it’s protecting itself from new information. It’s fascinating.

From my standpoint of course, this is the opposite standpoint.

UserDoesNotExist,

Sister’s in the marine corps and so is her husband. They can take care of themselves.

Against Russian agents with Nowitschock or North Koreans using poison as well? I doubt that.

I’ll take your advice into consideration. Still, you have again reminded me why I don’t feel the burden of my duty too much. The existence of such organizations only hardens my resolve to flip the switch when the time comes.

You are a troll. Cannot take you and your persona serious anymore. There is not a single soldier this irrational on this world.

UserDoesNotExist,

Financial? Perhaps. Demographically, however, I believe Russia and Europe have entered a terminal demographic decline, only accelerated in Russia’s case by the war.

Due to immense migration, demographic change is a thing of the past now. France, Germany and other western European countries no longer face this problem. On the other side it comes with new problems, as failed integration has become a huge problem.

And considering Russia, the country has one big ass infantry. And in the Ukraine war, Russia has yet to call for total mobilisation. And the west, even with the help of the US did not yet manage to deliver enough ammunition and weaponry to push back the Russian forces. For me that’s an indicator that Russia is more capable of actual war than the West.

Especially the US had many military missions in the past decades and most of them failed. Afghanistan is just one of the many failed attempts of military control. The US military has shown not to be capable to win wars, but only maintain them.

America, on the other hand, has not lost any soldiers or any significant resources and has increased the industrial capacity of the military-industrial complex.

Well and so did the Russians. The west has more specialised and modern weapons, it these have now proven to be too complicate to be produced in sufficient masses. Russia using old tech with easier produced weaponry has shown to be much more resilient than expected. Making use of the oldschool Propeller for bombs instead of high tech laser measured ignition timers, has proven to be just as effective. The US military has been scammed in many ways by weapon manufacturers into buying over complicated tech for simple applications.

Strategically, from a cold, hard, pragmatic point of view, that counts as a win for my superiors, in the long term.

If your superiors were involved in the last decades military operations of the US, then their word shouldn’t be taken too serious. Afghanistan is just the latest failure of along series of failures. And currently it seems, like the US will fail in Ukraine as well, even before sending troops.

Financial ups and downs are temporary and manageable.

Financial ups and downs can cripple a country’s economy so immensely, that they change a country’s direction for years later.

There is no military without tax payers. And in a broken economy, there are not many willing tax payers.

Demographic collapses are not.

It can be corrected with migration, even though migration poses its own new problems.

UserDoesNotExist,

In Afghanistan, Korea, Vietnam and Iraq, we crippled ourselves trying to protect civilians and establish a local government while fighting an “insurgency”.

What the hell are you talking about? Protecting civilians? Is this some joke? The US never much cared for protecting civilians.  Let’s think about Vietnam and the massacring of thousands. Or let’s remember some “accidental” strikes against “terrorists” that turned out to be civilians.

With Russia, per instruction, we will emphatically not be doing so. A war with Russia will be a concerted effort to fundamentally destroy and erase the current power structure and completely demilitarize the country, as we did in WWII. With thermonuclear weapons, if necessary. The unclassified nuclear doctrine is available for your perusal online.

Yea. Extremely plausible that the US manages to destroy the Russian power structures. Structures that have rivalled the US structures and military for decades in many foreign conflicts. You cannot rly act in a stalemate situation. And that is rly what that is. Just look how Russia can play war in Ukraine and the US and other western countries are only willing the send weapons. This just screams of powerlessness. And it indeed makes sense with the past failures of the US Military. And all that restraint, when Russia is conquering the Worlds Granary. If they succeed, then all of Africa will be under their control. Especially with climate change and less African soil being fertile.

Africa is so gaddamn important, that the Chinese already attempt in multiple African states to take control.

If China and Russia take control over Africa, than they take control over Resources that the US depends on.

And even the idea to demilitarise Russia is ponderous. Maybe if worked with Germany after WW2, because many Germans understand English and German is rather similar to English. So taking influence on the Germans was not too hard. Russian on the other hand is a goddamn nightmare for Roman languages. And the country is so damn big, that influence and control is a matter of unfeasibility.

UserDoesNotExist,

You are stating the most patriotic and naive shit here. I get the impression that you are impersonating US military personnel to paint them in a bad light.

And now this useless statement that I should visit some Kings Bay, but I’d probably not be let in - I do not understand what you are trying to tell me here? Here in Germany you wouldn’t get into some classes at university. Let alone the building. It’s usual practice that in some organisations, entry is restricted.

UserDoesNotExist,

Quickly testing if I go banned because some of my comments were deleted.

Edit: nope. Not banned.

(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ This is a community of well mannered people and good conversations.

UserDoesNotExist,

I have no motive other than my own profit. And I do not profit from a conversation here, other than to quench my thirst for discussion.

So please refrain from accusing me of propaganda.

UserDoesNotExist,

I give you that. Just a few were directly involved in innovation.

But the rich do quite successfully create the framework conditions for innovation and development. Mostly driven by profit, but a world based purely on goodwill fails at the first doubter, the first who does not want to participate. So capitalism is what we got. And so far it has proven to be more resilient than other systems.

UserDoesNotExist,

The US strategy has always been the same and it always failed in history.

What makes you believe that anything would change and that current analysis would be any more correct than the ones of the past?

UserDoesNotExist,

So people that do not transition could still be transgender?

UserDoesNotExist,

Well. Yes and no. It’s kind of a schroedinger situation. Celibate people are straight and gay at the same time.

Jokes aside. Sexuality is an attraction. It’s kind of different to trans.

UserDoesNotExist,

Because so far I understood that for example the sex can be female, and so can the gender. But what sense does it make to have female gender? There is just a human in your head.

But then again… how important is this belief? And why are people claiming that there are more than two genders? Because of gender refers to sex, then what is going on there?

Their are neurological and therefore psychological differences between people of different genders.

But there are many nuances between people. It wouldn’t make sense to try to distinguish between those nuances.

These are normally aligned with their physical sex and hormones. When there is a misalignment between gender and sex that’s what trans people are. It’s not belief, it’s brain structure.

This is a rather bold statement. To my knowledge scientists have yet to understand how the brain works. And I believe studies to identify peoples brain structure as gay, trans or straight would be very questionable. And dangerous I should say. Depending on the governments, this would be very dangerous. Imagine what the Russians or Chinese would do…

There is just a human in your head.

Do you not feel attached to your birth gender at all? Or any other gender? Like if you woke up in a body of the opposite sex would you be okay with that?

I don’t think that I would care much. I guess I would be annoyed by menstruation. I really cannot see any blood, I become unconscious and fall over like a bad soldier. But other than that, I do believe that I could be happy in any kind of healthy body.

Statements like this sometimes make me thing the person I am talking to is either very ignorant or a very confused agender person.

I am just confused. So much is going on in this world. And then suddenly people create new concepts that are still somewhat in the making, under constant change, concepts that I have nothing to do with, but I don’t want to get out of touch. And I do understand that something is driving people, and usually people have good intentions (even people that are on the other side of a discussion). But I find this gender stuff to be difficult to understand. Especially the need to identify with something. For me happiness comes from another place. Not from a (and don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to offend) self centred perspective. I don’t feel the need to identify who and what I am. I think one quickly falls into a mental trap there, because thinking and identity is something far too complex to articulate in language. I’d rather just enjoy time with people that are important to me and do stuff that we enjoy.

UserDoesNotExist,

And socialism and communism fails for the same reason. Because humans always or against each other towards inequalities and hierarchies.

You cannot escape human nature. Capitalism at least offers the slight chance to better your own position. If you are born smart or very dedicated, you might escape your situation.

The Struggle to Relax: Why ADHD Makes it Tough (youtu.be)

This explains why sometimes I'll research something or study German on my days off instead of playing a video game. I thought I was "wasting" my day off and not properly relaxing. Instead, I was letting my brain off its leash to do what it wanted and that's what it picked. That task was actually relaxing for my brain at that...

UserDoesNotExist,

Imagine making ADHD your personality.

UserDoesNotExist,

Muss ja auch nur bis zu den US Wahlen warten. Wenn da die Republikaner gewinnen, vor allem unter Trump, dann fallen erstmal erhebliche Waffenlieferungen aus. Und wenn das der Fall ist, wird die ganze Situation für Europa noch unerträglicher. Und auch hier zeichnet sich ein nur nachvollziehbarer Stimmungswandel ab. Frankreich, Deutschland & co erleben den sogenannten “rechtsruck” und die besagten Parteien stehen Russland freundlich gegenüber. Ist also für Russland nur eine Frage der Zeit.

Edit: shit. Ein Jahr alter Post. Erst jetzt bemerkt. Auch egal.
