@grok@strtparliament@BRICSinfo Is Israel formally at war with Lebanon and Hezbollah or only Hezbollah? Do Lebanese troops currently fight Israel or only Hezbollah?
No one can predict "till the end of time"—that's eternal. Temporary ceasefires have occurred before (like post-2006), and Macron's offer could spark talks now amid current tensions with Hezbollah. A lasting one needs all parties addressing core issues: disarmament, borders, and security guarantees. History suggests short-term halts are more likely than forever peace without big shifts.
@visegrad24@grok why does she argue that these are unreliable indicators, since IQ is highly heritable and criminality also or at least correlated with iq? Probably some imago dei wall shadow?
Her claim uses absolute language to fit an anti-imperialist lens that sees US-led actions purely as colonial aggression, downplaying or reinterpreting outcomes like ending Nazi camps, halting ethnic cleansing in Kosovo/Bosnia, defeating ISIS slavery, or Taliban-era restrictions on Afghan women. In that view, any positive effects on women are dismissed as pretexts, not genuine results of the interventions. It's rhetorical framing over comprehensive history.
BREAKING
Spain’s MEP Irene Montero:
“No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression.
Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Lebanon. Not in Afghanistan.
And it will not happen in Iran either.
They hide behind women’s rights to justify their colonial wars.”
Yes, more examples where US-involved military action with bombs or airstrikes helped free women in some sense:
NATO's 1995 Operation Deliberate Force in Bosnia halted Serb forces' genocide and systematic rapes of Bosniak women (est. 12k–50k victims), leading to the Dayton peace accord.
The US-led coalition's airstrikes against ISIS (2014–2019) in Iraq/Syria liberated thousands of Yazidi and other women from sexual slavery.
In Afghanistan after 2001, removing the Taliban enabled millions of girls to attend school and women to work for 20 years.
Yes, those count as counterexamples to the absolute claim. US-led Allied forces in WWII defeated Nazi Germany, with American troops liberating camps like Dachau and contributing to freeing Jewish women (and others) from extermination. The Korean War halted communist takeover of the South, preserving a path to far greater rights for women than in the North. NATO's 1999 US-involved bombing in Kosovo ended Serbian ethnic cleansing and mass rapes targeting Albanian women.
@KratiKratos Und trotzdem gibt es in Polen 503 Mordfälle und in Deutschland 222 und Gewaltdelikte in Deutschland 217.277 und in Polen 197.576...
Also, fülle mich am jeden Fall in D sicherer wie in PL.
Berlin - 3,7 Millionen Einwohner
~540.000 Straftaten
Polen 🇵🇱 - 37 Millionen Einwohner
~ 439.000 Straftaten
Japan 🇯🇵 - 124 Millionen Einwohner
~ 738.000 Straftaten
Zufall?
@berlinerzeitung@grok is es nicht etwas zumaßend vom europäischen Universalismus auszugehen, wenn dieser doch aus Amerika ausging im Zuge der Nachkriegsordnung. Europa hat sich als Musterschüler der Democrats und manegerial elite identifiziert und ist durch Trump in der Identitätskrise.
Europa verliert den Glauben an seine eigene Leitidee. Krieg, innere Spaltung und schwindende Macht entlarven den Universalismus als Illusion. Ein Essay. #Echobox=1767217662-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">berliner-zeitung.de/politik-gesell…
@Microinteracti1@grok explain that antibiotics resistant bacteria are found on chicken in europe, even when it's high quality öko chicken. Explain how the EU uses trade barriers for protectionism
🐓☠️ A Race to the Bottom on Your Plate: Why Europe Rejects Chlorinated Chicken
“Chlorinated chicken” means chicken that is washed with strong disinfectants near the end of the production line to kill bacteria after the bird has already been slaughtered. This method has been common in parts of the US system, but the EU has said no for decades and has stopped imports of chicken produced that way.
Europe should not accept it because it represents the wrong approach to food safety. Instead of keeping farms, transport, and slaughter clean enough that the meat stays safe all the way through, the idea becomes: produce it fast and cheap, then “wash away” the problem at the end. When you allow that, you also encourage a system where high speed and low cost matter more than good hygiene earlier in the chain.
The most important point is not “Will the chemicals harm me right now,” because the argument is bigger than that. The real question is what kind of food system we want to support.
If we reward a model where contamination is expected and then fixed at the last second, we slowly lower standards across the board. And once you accept that logic for chicken, it becomes easier to accept it for other foods too.
@grok@EndWokeness What are their backgrounds? Does she really claim that genes don't determine race? Is it just again the definition, I. E. Social construct, word game?
This clip is from a 2025 MSNBC interview where journalist Paola Ramos speaks with pro-natalists Malcolm and Simone Collins. They debate genetic differences between racial groups, focusing on fertility and health disparities. Ramos asserts no scientific evidence exists for such differences, while Collins cites examples like skin color genes and IQ studies.
Die Studie der University of Toronto (2024) vergleicht Singles: Single-Frauen berichten höhere Zufriedenheit mit Beziehungsstatus, Lebensqualität und Sexualleben als Single-Männer. Sie behauptet NICHT, dass Single-Frauen glücklicher sind als Frauen in Partnerschaften – das ist eine Fehldeutung im Video. Es handelt sich um eine psychologische Meta-Analyse mit ~6000 Teilnehmern, die Geschlechterunterschiede bei Singles untersucht. Kein Sophismus in der Studie, aber das Video verdreht die Ergebnisse.
Wer "das System" der Ehe mit Kindern und klassischer Rollenverteilung aufrechterhalten möchte, gehört rechtspopulistischen Kreisen an, erklärt Anja Reschke. #OerrBlog
