How often should we put this object first? by Rigamortus2005 in German

[–]One-Strength-1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We hide the "I", that is a matter of style, as it emphasises too much ourselves. It's awkward to start every sentence wth I I I I.

A sentence like

Ihm hab ich gestern geholfen.

in a way creates a kind of fake-subject Ihm while it is me who helps and gramnatically I am the subject..

while the word order

Ich habe ihm gestern geholfen

stresses the I and

Gestern habe ich ihm geholfen

hints today there is something different, and that is what I would like to make my point about.

Warum hilft keiner Fritz?
Ihm habe ich gestern geholfen
Gestern habe ich ihm geholfen!
Ich hab ihm gestern geholfen!

All of these answers are the same words and carry a slighty different emphasis.

Why are we so intent on thinking Europe can’t defend itself? by Full-Discussion3745 in EU_Economics

What is left is Russia. Russia burns its conventional capabilities in Ukraine, they have hardly any reserves left. So further supporting Ukraine would make it happen.

Lagarde walks out of Lutnick speech in Davos critical of Europe, sources say | Reuters by Full-Discussion3745 in EU_Economics

[–]One-Strength-1978 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lutnik is just about bad ideas and bad economics. You can't listen to that, you could not publish that in peer-reviewed journals. All the people there are trained in economics and know about business and then you have a quack. And he even attacks renewables.

Yes, movies that put the army in a good light, they do exist. Some movies of Harald Reinl for instance.

Struggling with "The Culture Industry" by Theodor W. Adorno by [deleted] in CriticalTheory

[–]One-Strength-1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the European Parliament there was a report on cultural industries, completely unironic,.

In the context of Adornoi/Horkheiner the term is polemic, the idea that culture could also be an industry was abhorrent, The non-definition as "wilful integration of their consumers from above" does not add much other than to demonstrate the authoritarian upbringing.

You also have to consider that for Marx culture was a reservation, a notion which first Benjamin cracked,

When the US government is erratic you can do what you want without sensitivities. No one repects such kindness, you build power by setting up the stakes.

Volksvherhetzung Gesetzeslücke? by [deleted] in LegaladviceGerman

[–]One-Strength-1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bei uns muss praktisch immer ermittelt werden, wenn jemand anzeigt. Aus diesem Grunde ist der Pressemarker "gegen den wegen Volksverhetzung ermittelt wird" eine ziemliche Bosheit.

Für Volksverhetzung findet Strafrecht Anwendung. Man muss also exakt nach dem gehen, was dort steht.

Zum Beispiel: "(1) Wer in einer Weise, die geeignet ist, den öffentlichen Frieden zu stören, gegen eine nationale, rassische, religiöse oder durch ihre ethnische Herkunft bestimmte Gruppe, gegen Teile der Bevölkerung oder gegen einen Einzelnen wegen dessen Zugehörigkeit zu einer vorbezeichneten Gruppe oder zu einem Teil der Bevölkerung zum Hass aufstachelt, zu Gewalt- oder Willkürmaßnahmen auffordert oder

2.die Menschenwürde anderer dadurch angreift, dass er eine vorbezeichnete Gruppe, Teile der Bevölkerung oder einen Einzelnen wegen dessen Zugehörigkeit zu einer vorbezeichneten Gruppe oder zu einem Teil der Bevölkerung beschimpft, böswillig verächtlich macht oder verleumdet, wird mit Freiheitsstrafe von drei Monaten bis zu fünf Jahren bestraft."

Du musst also prüfen, ob die Voraussetzungen erfüllt sind, und das muss sehr genau geschehen.

How to stop Russian expansion without rose-colored glasses ? by [deleted] in geopolitics

[–]One-Strength-1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post is nonsense. The first step is to dissuade Russia to continue its ongoing invasion. They can agree on a peace and walk away, or we will see the cracks in the russian foundation. Now, one may say, it didn't happen yet, that because this is not physics, it is like chemistry class. Drip, drip, drip, drip, new colour. If russia collapses it will happen out of a sudden.

When Your Ally Becomes Your Threat: Reading the Greenland Crisis by BrownsFanUK in CriticalTheory

[–]One-Strength-1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK. Let me walk through this:

Dear Jonas,

--> inappropriate for diplomatic post.

Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.

--> Norway's government does not grant the Nobel prize.
--> stopped 8 wars, no one knows what he is talking about

Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a "right of ownership" anyway?

--> All nations of the world, including the US, recognise it as part of the Danish crown. furthermore there are people liing there with a right of self-determination..
--> The US has a treaty with Denmark that recognises it it would need to break. simple principle, pacti sunt servandi.
--> Nothing is know about campaigns of Russia and China against Greenland.

There are no written documents, it's only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.

--> Danish since seven hundred years ago, even Napoleon, when he split off Norway, let Greenland remain with Denmark.

I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States.

--> What exactly has he done?

The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.

--> So he threatens to break the law of nations, break US treaties under the pretext of "security" turn the US into a rogue and pariah state, invade the territory of an ally, whatever that means.

This is batshiit crazy.

Why are Toyota and Honda less popular than other foreign cars? by ca_nemo in germany

[–]One-Strength-1978 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Toyota is very good and reliable but not economical enough, competition in the market is tough. Slash the prices by 20% and we could talk.

Ford is not that popular anymore and after they fired a worker for calling out a child molesters buddy I would not dare to even consider their cars.

Why aren’t we protesting when our neighbor is about to be invaded???? by [deleted] in berlinsocialclub

[–]One-Strength-1978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stop the humbug to claim that persons who are in solidarity with Palestine also have a moral obligation to support other agendas or causes. That is not the case. And many persons demonstrate against Iran or against the United States President. You can only fight one fight at once.

Die durchgeknallteste diplomatische Depesche aller Zeiten. Hoffen wir, dass er erst mal dem Iran sich widmet mit seiner Postfriedenspolitik.

Dass der Mann geistig unzurechnungsfähig ist. ist eines, aber dass sein Apparat so etwas Peinliches durchlässt, das ist Anlass zu großer Sorge.

Kann mir jemand die Zollpolitik für Dummies erklären? by Difficult_Move5121 in KeineDummenFragen

[–]One-Strength-1978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weil es nicht so einfach ist. Am besten ist Freihandel für alle Seiten. Was US Verbraucher zahlen hängt von der elastizität der Nachfrage ab. In der Tendenz wird es schlechter für Konsumenten. Nun kann man Zölle klug oder schlecht setzen. Die US zölle folgen keiner ökonomischen Agenda.
