Augstein ist der nächste

22. Juli 2022

… der nir­gend­wo mehr ein­ge­la­den wird.

Lei­der, lei­der, schon wie­der eine Per­so­na non Gra­ta mehr, was will man machen.…

Leit­ar­ti­kel von Jakob Aug­stein im aktu­el­len Frei­tag (29/2022) unter dem Titel “Bloß nicht hin­ter­fra­gen: Ukraine-Krieg Deutsch­land müs­se die Ukrai­ne unter­stüt­zen, kos­te es, was es wol­le - die­ses Kal­kül hat sich durch­ge­setzt, obwohl es jeg­li­cher Logik entbehrt”. 

Kurz­zu­sam­men­fas­sung laut online posting:

Lei­der Pay­wall, drum tei­le ich hier die Haupt­aus­sa­ge: “Das wesent­li­che Argu­ment, das auch hin­ter der (…) west­li­chen Poli­tik steckt (…): ‘Der Angriff Russ­lands zeigt, dass auch Mit­glie­der der NATO Objekt einer mili­tä­ri­schen Aggres­si­on wer­den kön­nen.’ Die­se Inter­pre­ta­ti­on der Ereig­nis­se hat sich durch­ge­setzt, ist hand­lungs­lei­tend gewor­den, wird nicht mehr hin­ter­fragt - und darf auch nicht mehr hin­ter­fragt wer­den, will man sich nicht den schlimms­ten Vor­wür­fen aus­set­zen. Allein, die Logik gibt es nicht her. Es ist schlicht nicht ersicht­lich, war­um der Angriff auf einen Staat, der nicht der NATO ange­hört, einen Angriff auf Staa­ten, die der NATO ange­hö­ren, wahr­schein­li­cher macht.”

Aber zum Glück “Gewess­ler gegen Tem­po 100!” der Tag ist geret­tet, die Leu­te sind wie­der zufrieden.

Ich glaub das ist auch der rich­ti­ge Zeit­punkt um zu erwäh­nen, dass mich mei­ne Psy­cho­the­ra­peu­tin raus­ge­schmis­sen hat, als ich aus­ge­ras­tet bin wie noch nie in mei­nem Leben zuvor, als die Wie­ner Zei­tung am sel­ben Tag als letz­te Öster­rei­chi­sche Zei­tung auf “die Ukrai­ne muss gewin­nen, weil sie nicht ver­lie­ren darf” Linie ein­ge­schwenkt ist, und die EU am sel­ben Tag begon­nen hat Kriegs­lie­fe­run­gen aus dem Friedens-Fazilitäts Fund (da außer­halb des EU Bud­gets ste­hend) für Waf­fen­käu­fe zu nut­zen. Mei­ne Psy­cho­the­ra­peu­tin konn­te sich auch gar­nicht erklä­ren war­um… (Weil sie mich zuvor bedrängt hat­te doch wie­der in die­sen WUNDERBAREN Jour­na­lis­mus zu gehen, und ich die PR Bran­che has­se… Komisch, jetzt ist PR und Jour­na­lis­mus das sel­be, naja, was will man machen…)

Fickt euch ihr Schweine.

Oh, the four stone statues theory now got two types of Vladimir on top

22. Juli 2022

So you know, when you make sure you dont belie­ve in pro­pa­gan­da, you make sure to lis­ten to the trus­ted experts like “four stone sta­tu­es of rus­si­an czars in his office, I’ve seen them! - what Putin real­ly thinks is a com­bi­na­ti­on of what tho­se czars did!” Fio­na Hill. Who will ans­wer very dis­tinct­ly all ques­ti­ons on “what does Putin real­ly think” with her theo­ries deri­ved from having sat next to the man once. No, she real­ly does. Thats what she does. Almost exclu­si­ve­ly by now.

Gre­at addi­ti­on though, becau­se his name “Vla­di­mir, Vala­di­mi­ro­witch” now has a spe­cial mea­ning to what he thinks as well, becau­se its two times Vladimir!

Isnt that some­thing! Also she has a histo­ry degree! Dont you see! And she mounts an argu­ment, why histo­ry must be con­ti­nued to be taught in school! (Had someo­ne asked to take it away?). Becau­se two times Vlad equals he is taking us back to the tenth cen­tu­ry, becau­se Vla­di­mir grand prince of Kiew was the ahm… 

DONT YOU SEE! WHY DONT YOU SEE IT!

Quick, give me Johan­nes Rau­scher, to shout at our government and the oppo­si­ti­on (SPÖ) to lis­ten exclu­si­ve­ly to experts like Fio­na Hill, and “its Neo­co­lo­nia­lism” Timo­thy Sny­der again… BECAUSE THEY ARE THE OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED EXPERTS FOR THE COMMON MAJOR NARRATIVE THESE DAYS.

See, Fio­na Hill men­ti­ons Sny­der as well - he must be the best pos­si­ble source here!

Die­se Gesell­schaft ist das Allerletzte.

Here is a hot take. As a child of a mental­ly ill per­son, could you plea­se take peop­le having men­tal break­downs, while rea­ding other peo­p­les minds and moti­ves out of their doub­ling first names, off of the sta­ge, and not pre­sent them as experts of what socie­ty at lar­ge should belie­ve in?

Plea­se. Plea­se. I beg of you. Please.

Die­se Gesell­schaft ist das Allerletzte.

(Audio on the video gets bet­ter after about 10 minutes.)

edit: This is UTTERLY sick:

Fio­na Hill again, this time more coherent:

The point she is making is utter­ly sicke­n­ing though. Cur­r­ent­ly we are in the pro­cess of making “rifts, breaks in the stra­te­gy of the oppo­nent pos­si­ble”, so we are crea­ting a mess, and have to be on the look out which of the parts that result from it, we can react on to move the ent­i­re pro­cess into a more pre­fera­ble direction.

So die for the poten­ti­al to beco­me an inflec­tion point. Suf­fer for the poten­ti­al to beco­me an inflec­tion point. Ruin hopes and dreams in socie­ty, for the poten­ti­al of beco­m­ing and inflec­tion point. And keep your high spi­rits up, so you can still dis­se­mi­na­te the sto­ry of you per­so­nal­ly having hel­ped a ukrai­ni­an fami­ly. It is the ope­ra­tio­na­liz­a­ti­on of “we want more war of attri­ti­on” which is the US mili­ta­ries pre­fe­red out­co­me in itself.

The non mili­ta­ry ang­le on that is in that speech. She spells it out. She actual­ly makes the argu­ment for it.

Why its so sicke­n­ing. Becau­se you can be FUCKING assu­red, that no Euro­pean government wan­ted this as the ope­ra­tio­na­li­zed out­co­me for the next few years.

And when you touch upon her time hori­zons, the­re see­min­gly are no limit. Just pro­long. The ope­ning will reve­al itself.

On the regime chan­ge ang­le, which she also pro­mo­tes open­ly - it s the “its easiest to wait for inter­nal pres­su­res in the rus­si­an power eli­te to take effect” nar­ra­ti­ve - which effect, we dont know, she is hoping along­side Fuku­ya­ma, for a bet­ter world. And now die a litt­le more.

So to her credit, if I were the per­son, that the US government had deci­ded on to ratio­na­li­ze that stra­te­gy - I’d go “two first names are Vla­di­mir!” cra­zy as well. Oh, an he built a sta­tue of Vla­di­mir! So did Maxi­mi­li­an in Vien­na. Pro­bab­ly. Are we now at the mind rea­ding from Sta­tures that have been built point of advan­ced civi­liz­a­ti­on, or…

Fuck this.

Ayn Rand Institute pitches in

22. Juli 2022

Why Mear­s­hei­mer gets it so wrong, from the peop­le who­se insti­tu­te is based on the one per­son that got human moti­ves and beha­vi­ors so wrong, her life was a living con­tra­dic­tion con­tras­ting her own believes. 🙂 

Just my kind of humor… 🙂

So appar­ent­ly psy­cho­paths (thats most­ly the peop­le that gra­vi­ta­te towards Rands tea­chings (I mean, she liter­al­ly foun­ded a cult, recrui­ted her hus­band in it, … but thats not­hing com­pa­red to the stuff she ratio­na­li­zed away, towards the end of her life.. 😉 ) in my expe­ri­ence) now are also anti Mear­s­hei­mer. Good to know.

Also argu­ments, well.. yeah, Argu­ments. First argu­ment that is made up is that “distil­led, rea­lists think like mafia bos­ses!” (Oh, no! Emo­tio­nal­ly char­ge their posi­ti­on, by fal­se com­pa­ri­son to ridi­cu­le it based on the com­pa­ri­son, not on the actu­al posi­ti­on. Arthur Scho­pen­hau­er would have been proud!) they want con­stant figh­t­ing. Ehm.. ok, they also want neu­tral buf­fer­sta­tes. Now what…?

They just dont buy the ent­i­re “ever­yo­ne can deci­de for them­sel­ves who they want to part­ner with, and get secu­ri­ty gua­ran­tees by” becau­se its obvious­ly BS. But dont get caught on that part of the argu­ment. Com­pa­re them to mafia Dons first, then, on step two, … 🙂

When you are inven­ting your argu­ments on the spot, chan­ces are that one per­son next to you doing all the nod­ding affir­ma­ti­on stuff might not be enough…

Also the pro­blem still per­sis­ting is “who is inven­ting the epis­te­me” (so the pseu­do­sci­en­ti­fic “main­stream inter­pre­ta­ti­on”, of stuff they have no idea on if they are cor­rect on, which they then spread with pomp and bra­va­do and sci­en­ti­fic spe­cious­ness), and the ans­wer to that is, the Hoo­ver Insti­tu­ti­on, eight days after the war star­ted. (Why Mear­s­hei­mer is wrong, seven peop­le against no one (no coun­ter posi­ti­on). And the Hoo­ver Insti­tu­ti­on twel­ve days after the war star­ted. (clink, click and click)

And thats what we now all know as the media and main­stream view of whats going on.

EVERY other expert, in every other coun­try, just copied tho­se argu­ments, and ran with it. Not one inkling or aspect was added to the main­stream view on the war after that. Its all in there.

If you saw that being in pro­cess eight to twel­ve days after the war star­ted, its fuck­ing hard to live with it, becau­se you see how the tal­king class is fit­ting into its role of crea­ting pro war pro­pa­gan­da in the broa­der mainstream.

Thats why you keep them in socie­ty. How things are “gene­ra­ly view­ed, without knowing exact­ly why” (Epis­te­mes) matters.

They arent paying for the war, they are just con­vin­cing you to do. They are just babbling.

Die­se Gesell­schaft ist das Letzte.

Oh, Ayn Rand as well - so fuck all of you.

edit: Oh, zwei­tes Argu­ment der babb­ling Rand Wichser:
“The­re is some­thing deeply wrong with dis­re­gar­ding the cha­rac­ter of regimes”. If you cant fal­si­fy an argu­ment, try to enlar­ge its scope to some­thing out­side the argu­ment, pre­fer­a­b­ly with some emo­tio­nal bull­shit like “cha­rac­ter of the regime is important” (so the US can be the ben­evo­lent Hege­mon kil­ling for values, which is much bet­ter of cour­se), then try to kill off the argu­ment on grounds of the initi­al opi­ni­on not having done that. Fol­lo­wed your made up logic to enlar­gen the argu­ment, that is. Arthur Scho­pen­hau­er would have been so proud!

Ihr wer­det alle so verarscht…

Und die neh­men Geld dafür!

Ein­mal Scho­pen­hau­ers The Art of Being Right: 38 Ways to Win an Argu­ment lesen, und ihr brecht zusam­men, weil die­se Gesell­schaft ein­fach das abso­lut Letz­te ist.

Und das geils­te über­haupt? Die End­lo­gik, also das wofür wir kämp­fen - ist “Erhö­hung der Mili­tär­aus­ga­ben und Abschre­ckung durch Vor­wärts­ver­tei­di­gung, oder das zur Schau stel­len der eige­nen Macht” - also wie das Rand Insti­tu­te es for­mu­lie­ren wür­de - Mafia Logik. 🙂

Schei­ße hier ver­arscht ja wirk­lich jeder jeden!

Typical reaction to a journalists rebuttal

21. Juli 2022

… on them taking their job seriously…

So it turns out, when you are inter­viewing a ukrai­ni­an MP who has “pro­mo­ting the war effort” in his calen­dar as the most important appoint­ment item for the day…

Promotingthewareffort

… and you tell him, that as a jour­na­list you have to ask dif­fi­cult, non par­ti­san ques­ti­ons, becau­se that would be your job - you get the appro­pria­te reaction.

Beingtoldthefunniestjokeever

Huh, turns out no pro­pa­gan­da trai­ning can mask micro­ex­pres­si­ons. Well, macro-expressions at that point, really…

See? Some­ti­mes the sub­text is all thats needed. 🙂

Das müs­sen die­se berühm­ten west­li­chen Wer­te sein…

OH WHAT A FUCKING COINCIDENCE

21. Juli 2022

Gen. Ben Hod­ges star­ted two mon­ths ago to refer to the stra­te­gy to “dri­ve all rus­si­ans out” (and in a first step back behind the lines of Febru­a­ry 23rd) as “our strategy”.

Money­quo­te: “Thats why we can’t stop - I mean thats why it was important to say, ‘when’ equals rus­sia out, back to 23 febru­a­ry line, becau­se if WE dont, then Ukrai­ne, their eco­no­my will have a very hard time, without the abi­li­ty to export grain, …” at about 8min in.

Who is WE in this state­ment? And why is it sepa­ra­te from Ukrai­ne? (“The Ukrai­ne has to deci­de that for its­elf!” remember?)

Noti­ce that this is also a lie, becau­se they cur­r­ent­ly still have Mariu­pol, and grain exports from Mario­pol, should con­ti­nue wit­hin the next few weeks, if rus­sia doenst slow down the UN mis­si­on to faci­li­ta­te it, to which they have alrea­dy signed on to.

Also, curious­ly - In the midd­le of Ukrai­ne - no har­bors. Just land.

edit: Bonus: “Exper­ten sehen der­zeit kei­ne Ver­hand­lungs­lö­sung” Nein, also wow, also wirk­lich also, denen würd ich gern eine Kaf­fee spen­die­ren die­sen Exper­ten. So nah an dem dran was pas­siert… Akti­vis­tisch auch noch! Nein, also sofort dru­cken! Was die glau­ben zu mei­nen ist komi­scher­wei­se bereits davor eine US Posi­ti­on die Hod­ges bereits zwei Mona­te zuvor als “unse­re Posi­ti­on” (Ukrai­ne exklu­diert - sie­he For­mu­lie­rung) nennt. Aber gleich­zei­tig noch die Bevöl­ke­rung dafür lob­by­ie­ren, als Exper­te und Wis­sen­schaft­ler… Nein, also das ist hohe Kunst, und Dienst am Volk. Zwei Mona­te später.

Das sind sicher die­se west­li­chen Wer­te von denen man heu­te so viel hört.

edit Nach­trag: Das Getrei­de Export-Abkommen zwi­schen der Ukrai­ne, Russ­land, der Tür­kei und der west­li­chen Welt scheint vor der Ver­ab­schie­dung zu ste­hen. Komisch, da doch alle wis­sen, dass man mit Russ­land nicht ver­han­deln kann. Also dezi­diert nicht. Was wenn sich die nicht dran halten!

Ups, in die­sem Fall kei­ne zero-sum Logik? Wie kommts?
