  • Das begleitende Trinken ist aus meiner Sicht auch weniger das Problem. Die Branche ist auch bereit das aufzugeben, und dafür weiter an den 16 Jahren für Bier, Wein & co festzuhalten.

    Die sind ja nicht blöd. Die wissen, dass unter der Aufsicht der Eltern oft dann doch weniger getrunken wird, während außerhalb der Aufsicht dann mit 16, 17 richtig weggebechert wird.

    Dazu kommt, dass das eine prima Nebelkerze ist, weil dann alle über ihre eigenen Erfahrungen, ihren Erziehungsstil u.ä. diskutieren können.

    Tatsächlich wichtig sind die Altersgrenze, Einschränkungen von Werbung, und insb. dass das Zeug aus den Quengelgassen und Tankstellen wegkommt. In den Quengelgassen werden Alkoholiker in die Falle gelockt, die vorher noch erfolgreich die Getränkeabteilung gemieden haben. Kleine Kinder lernen von früh auf, dass was ihr Schokoriegel oder Plastikspielzeug ist, ist für die Erwachsenen der Schnaps und Tabak.




  • The German government has to approve of arms exports. The approval process is secret and the government refuses even to release information on what has been approved. When people from Gaza and their German relatives sued against it, the courts said that since the claimants cannot specify which weapons are sent and how that would put them at risk, they cannot sue against it, while the government has no obligation to provide that information to the courts.

    This is not just capitalism. This is German bureaucracy and the pretense of lawfulness weaponized for killing people out of hatred again.


  • This means:

    “we will not move a finger and we are happy with the status quo. We know full well that Israel will never accept a two state solution and we intend not to put any pressure on Israel. Instead we will support Israel until the last Palestinian is either killed or ethnically cleansed.”

    Germany has been blocking most measures in the EU and UN to put any tangible pressure on Israel. The current chancellor Merz had announced his plan to defy the ICC arrest warrant on Netanyahu and invite him to Germany. The German president has shaken hands with Netanyahu in Israel as the total blockade on Gaza had been reestablished and the ceasefire broken by Israel. Germany continues to deliver military equipment to Israel and repress protest against the genocide. Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories was threatened with arrest in Germany and Universities were pressured to cancel events where she was supposed to speak.

    All these statements by the German government are empty lies. I have watched the federal government press conference for the past two years. It is always the same statements, always the same lies, always the same trope of declaring claims from Israel as the ultimate truth that is parroted by the government speakers, always saying “Israel needs to investigate” when there is overwhelming evidence of yet another Israel war crime such as the execution of the 15 medics in March by an Israeli death squad.

    If the words of the German government were printed on toilet paper, using that paper would make you more dirty even when you have explosive diarrhea.

    You say people should just give up their weapons. I used to be strictly against private weapon ownership too. Over the years, especially the last few years i see more and more of a necessity for people to be able to fight back against an overreaching government, as we have seen more and more authoritarian developments all across the “Western” nations.

    This is what Marx referred to.

    There is a political case for private weapon ownership. The obvious counter-argument is that people like MAGA also have weapons then and can use them. As we have seen with previous and current dictatorships, when push comes to shove the regime will quickly supply its paramilitary wings with guns, so i don’t see the benefit of preventing normal people from owning weapons in such a situation.

    None of this is a judgement on the green-text, as we lack the whole picture, on whether taking the weapons from anon was justified or not. However the default assertion that people should just give up their weapons is not as obvious as you make it out to be.
