  • Psychoanalysis is quackery. It was progressive at a certain point, but it got pretty fast reactionary.

    Had “age is just a number” always this implication or did it occure through the internet? I said it once to my grandmother back then, when she was sad, the she is not young anymore and will probably die soon. I have the feeling that phrases and words got “corrupted” over the time.


  • You can argue the same for North Korea for that matter. Those countries and others with material conditions considered “worse” than the US were and still are literally brutalized by US/Western imperialism.

    Of course they are brutalized. Thats why pointed out, that “worse” is vague. Because it is far more worse to life in a country which is brutalized, than somewhere where the situation is peaceful. But if we speak about “worse” and “better” referring to imperialism, atrocities and genocide, than the US is ranking actually on the first place.

    Furthermore, to clarify, I was wondering whether which country is the “worst” primarily based on the actual leaders/ruling class of the government itself and the malicious nature of their actions.

    It is not easy to top the USA. But I wouldn’t even rank Israel on the second place, because its complicated I think. While Israel commits genocide, they need their support from the US and Europe. Same goes for other countries which may commit similar atrocities. The USA is powerful enough to let such things happen or stop it and they let it happen if its useful. Reminds me how Selensky is begging the US for authorisation to attack specific targets in Russia. I think I would answer your question with “no”, there is no worse country.

    Of course, I admit that countries (aside from the 2 previously mentioned) like India, France, Britain, and Germany are more influential internationally and overall more active, allowing them to oppress in similar ways that the USA and Israel does, making them worse in many aspects.

    That’s right. Especially the alliance of those countries you mentioned is a special thing. Speaking of NATO, even Germany, France etc. are absolutely dependent on the US.


  • But what do you mean with “worst”? Its very vague. What are the conditions, that makes something good or bad. Because, people have different priorities. As example, it is important for me that I can somehow live in a country. I don’t want to die, I want food, water, place to sleep and also work. Considering that, USA would be better than other countries, where civil war is present. Or if you are not male but female. USA would than also be far more better than Afghanistan.

    I hope you understand, what I wanted to say.

    right-wing anime fascists that simp for that country exacerbate my disdain furthermore.

    This movement is the worst. To be honest, when I started reading manhua and then manhwa I could also see difference to Japanese anime/manga. The later ones are have those tendency to Japanese nationailsm and anticommunism.



  • While the AFD is certainly a far-right party, I wouldn’t consider the German bourgeois state an authority on the subject

    That’s not what I said. There es difference between denying and admitting. While the german bourgeois state admits it, they are freely supporting this party. SPD, GRÜNE, CDU/CSU are totally fine executing things, which the AFD always wanted and wants. Letting this party be, consider coalitions etc. while officially saying it is a far right party, has its own quality.

    Germany doesn’t need the AFD to be a far-right, fascistic hellhole, the bourgeois state is already eagerly doing it themselves, backing and aiding in industrial genocide in Palestine, and once again pursuing lebensraum (through NATO expansion) in eastern Europe.

    Yes, they don’t need the AFD. But still I see a difference between “We are liberal democrats, fascism bad on the paper, there is no genocide in Palestine” and “We are liberal democrats, AFD is far right and has fascist tendencies (That’s how the official view is), but we are fine with it, support it and will eventually make a coalition with them, also no genocide in Palestine”.

    For most causes (not the AFD) being watched by the modern gestapo should be a badge of honor.

    While I somehow understand what you mean, I think it is dangerous to be watched. Looking at their which conditions you have to met to be watched, its ridiculous but also says a lot. I would be alarmed, I mean, they have many means to even silence you or forbid you organisation - Which nothing at all matters for the AFD.

I usually have to salt it myself if I put it on bread, but what do you do with a 250g block of salted butter? Is it usefull?
