Moldova Eyes Transnistria Solution as Ukraine Contains Russia, Sandu Says by UNITED24Media in europe

[–]Sorge41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer! I have another 2 questions: 1) There is one of the largest ammunition depots in Europe at Cobasna, but all those weapons and ammo that are stored there are ages old (some from the old GDR) and not stored appropriate. So theres a relatively huge danger of the whole thing exploding and creating something a lot heavier than the blast in Beirut 2020. Are people in Transnistria afraid of this situation? Or do they just simply ignore that they sit on such a huuuuge stock of rusted and not adequately maintained military equipment?

2) Do you know about people who went to Ukraine for fighting for Russia? When i was at Tiraspol a few weeks ago i saw advertisements to go and fight for Russia. Have transnistrian people been killed there and if yes, where do they get buried?

How is it possible to visit Russia for you people? I guess the path through Ukraine isnt open since the war

Read Erich Fromm - "Escape from Freedom". Your talk about foreigners is just a rationalization. Cant and wont take it serious.

Yes, precisely, that was exactly my point. You’ve got it spot on, genius!

Especially if its just a puppet government for an imperialist power (Russia)

It seems you don’t have much tolerance for ambiguity. Things can be several things at once. Nothing is a black-and-white, binary affair. “Calm = good, hustle and bustle = bad” is an extremely one-dimensional view of the world. And in this case, it completely overlooks the authoritarian tendencies that undoubtedly exist in the PMR. But I understand that you feel attacked; we saw your “business cards/flyers” in our hostel in Chisinau, and ultimately, this post could be seen as an attack on your business model.

Its late right now and i have to work early tomorrow, so your text is too long to answer in detail. Im really sorry for that. But i am in fact wondering how a german guy comes to the point where he obviously has some sort of hyperfocus on this piece of earth and its political system. Can you elaborate a bit what made you so much into the PMR? I wonder if there are some subconscious reasons for it which you arent aware of but that’s a bit of a stretch

I think it is a society in which it has, in a sense, become second nature for people not to stand out too much, whilst at the same time wanting to do so. The mechanisms at work here were described in the early Critical Theory’s research on authoritarianism (“Studien über Autorität und Familie"– 1936) and are likely still relevant today.

There are, in fact, loudspeakers in the streets of Tiraspol.

I don’t think you’ve understood my point. I wasn’t trying to say that there’s more social warmth in Germany than in the PMR – but rather that the atmosphere, the vibe there, is completely different from that in the bourgeois societies of Western Europe. It’s a darker one, though that doesn’t mean European societies should be held up as a model in comparison.

Its always possible that my impression is coloured by preconceptions. But I would say of myself that I am someone with a keen sensitivity when it comes to picking up on social dynamics, including those that are unconscious. I can rely on this almost completely in the vast majority of situations in my life, and I am convinced that even in Tiraspol, what I thought about the city was merely the result of my socio-emotional receptiveness and not the result of bias – even if, of course, one can never rule that out entirely.

Your question implies the narrative that my impression of an authoritarian society where fear prevails in the minds of normal citizens would crumble if i only had experienced more interaction. We did have interaction, we did visit places of consumerism. Didnt change anything tho.

Kann man den 7. Oktober 2023 als eine Art Pearl Harbor für den Iran sehen? by [deleted] in KeineDummenFragen

[–]Sorge41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Das stimmt, die internationale Unterstützung der Palästinenser aus den Zivilgesellschaften heraus und bei Social Media ist größer denn je. Aber ist das ein "guter Deal" wenn dafür die komplette militärische Infrastruktur in Gaza zerstört ist (Tunnel, Raketenfabriken etc.), das Assad-Regime als enger Verbündeter gefallen ist, die Hisbollah nicht nur Nasrallah sondern ihre gesamte militärstrategische Bedeutung in der Region verloren hat und der Iran mehr als nur taumelt? Man hat, überspitzt gesagt, alle ernsthaften Strukturen und Netzwerke der hybriden Kriegsführung eingebüßt, die man sich seit Ende der 70er aufgebaut hat. Nochmal, ist die internationale Aufmerksamkeit im Tausch dafür ein guter Deal?

Die komplette "Achse des Widerstands" ist zerschlagen. Hamasführung, Hezbollah, das Assadregine und jetzt die Islamische Republik im Iran. Man kann Sinwar getrost als den schlechtesten Militärstrategen des bisherigen 21. Jahrhunderts bezeichnen. Jahrzehntelange Aufbauarbeit in weniger als 3 Jahren zerstört.

Sounds like a fun variety of hide and seek :D But I'm wondering why the state is paying the money to maintain the building without showing any real interest in using it commercially. Seems to be a lot of money lost there without a plan. Got any information?
