@ciencia_invest @MattisRedacted No Lol Their contribution to the war of austrian succession was negligible, the war of jenkins' ear was a big nothingburger, they were just a giant punching bag in the napoleonic wars, and the only thing of note they did in the 19th century was losing all their colonies

Ich lachte. Aber Spaß beiseite, Verstümmelung war keine offizielle Firmenpolitik des #Kongo-Freistaates. Eine internationale Untersuchungskommission, welche diese angeblichen Gräuel untersuchen und dokumentieren sollte, gelangte 1905 zu folgendem Ergebnis: „Aus allen von der Kommission überprüften Fällen geht hervor, dass die Verstümmelung von Leichen ein uralter Brauch ist, der in den Augen der Eingeborenen nicht den schrecklichen Charakter hat wie in unseren. Das Abtrennen bestimmter Körperteile befriedigt das Bedürfnis der Eingeborenen, entweder eine Trophäe oder schlicht ein Beweisstück zu erlangen. Verstümmelungen von Feinden, die in Kriegen zwischen Eingeborenen bestimmter Regionen getötet wurden, kommen häufig vor. [...] Es ist mehr als wahrscheinlich, dass zu Beginn der Besatzung bestimmte weiße Beamte diesen barbarischen Brauch toleriert oder zumindest nicht alles in ihrer Macht stehende getan haben, um ihn auszumerzen. [...] Wie dem auch sei, eines steht außer Zweifel: Der weiße Mann hat solche Verstümmelungen niemals als Strafe für Pflichtverletzungen oder aus anderen Gründen an lebenden Eingeborenen vorgenommen oder beabsichtigt, sie vorzunehmen. Taten dieser Art wurden von keinem einzigen Zeugen berichtet, und wir haben trotz all unserer Nachforschungen keine festgestellt.”

@HoJoMe @LeutweinsG This is disingenuous, the commission was set up under massive international pressure, and international commissioners were elected to lead the effort in order to avoid bias. Their findings were considered grave enough to justify Belgium's annexation of Congo as a colony

@LeutweinsG 2/ Fakt: Die Kommission wurde vom Kongo-Freistaat selbst eingesetzt – also vom System, das unter Druck stand. Das ist keine unabhängige Wahrheitsinstanz, sondern Teil eines politischen Abwehrmechanismus.

@bobbyfijan Wishful thinking. Humans are by default hedonists and will always chose their own comfort over making some sacrifices to raise a child

My theory (and solution) on the fertility "crisis" has been consistent for years: Young people move to the The City for school, opportunity, adventure etc. But they are reaching the (not unreasonable) conclusion that having kids means moving away. So they delay. This is *partly* due to the cost of family housing, childcare + education ... but the primary driver has become social or cultural: they just DO NOT SEE families around them. This becomes a self reinforcing downward loop. Fewer kids means reduced services for families: schools close, fewer high chairs and kid's menus in restaurants etc. This is exacerbated by the higher costs the cities impose on childcare and the ~monopoly they have on schools and enforcement of disorder. It's an incredibly difficult cycle to reverse and the only practical solution is an incremental one: make it easier for very young families to decide to stay. Appeal to the people who ALREADY love the City to make it their home when they have their first child. This starts by building housing designed FOR families, but also in improving safety, public education, local elementary schools etc. And slowly by adding more babies and toddlers, we make it more socially customary for places to be child friendly. Families who have lived in neighborhoods for years decide to send their kids to the local schools with their friends. And then hopefully as more of these pioneer families grow and flourish, the younger people around them see this and think: "Well if they are making it work ... then I guess I could too."
Bobby Fijan@bobbyfijan

Why aren't young people having kids? Because not only are housing+education costs too high, but they believe they have to uproot their entire life if/when they have children We need to make it easier to have little kids in the city (because that's where young people live)

I hate the Nazi regime as much as anyone. It was bad for the USA to kick the Cherokee, the Iroquois, and the Sioux out of their land. So why isn't it an even bigger crime to kick the German inhabitants of Konigsberg out of their own homes without recompense - houses their ancestors had made and lived in for centuries - and hand them over to Russians who had never lived there and did nothing to deserve it.

This day in 1945, Soviet forces launched the assault on Königsberg, a heavily fortified German stronghold. The battle ended when the German garrison surrendered 3 days later. Königsberg became a Russian city and was renamed to Kaliningrad in 1946. #WW2

@johnstretch @Quiet_eth1 An oft forgotten fact is that the European peoples were as disjointed as the Africans back in those days, albeit with stronger central governments. It took two centuries of enlightenment ideas, nationalism, and force of arms to forge those peoples into nation-states

Look at the history of Europe. Do you think the borders of the countries were neatly organised? No, they were formed by empires (Ottoman, Roman) and tribal warfare. It seems to me that Africa needs to get off the Victim’s Bench. Don’t forget the past but ignore it and move forward.

My brother, let me break it down for you like this. No African decided we should have exactly 54 countries. It was the European powers who sat down in Berlin in 1884 and 1885 and sliced up our continent like it was their own property. They drew those fake borders with zero Africans in the room. When independence came, our own leaders kept those same colonial lines instead of uniting. That is why Africa is still divided into 54 weak pieces today. As for the IMF, World Bank and WTO those were created in 1944 by the Americans and British while most of Africa was still under colonial rule. Our real leaders were not invited, they had no seat at the table. These institutions were built to maintain Western control after colonialism ended. They replaced the whip and the chain with debt, loans and harsh conditions that keep us exporting raw materials cheap and buying finished goods expensive. It is not development, it is control. Pure neocolonialism. The ICC and ICJ? Same trick. They call it international law but it is mostly used to hunt African leaders while Western countries do whatever they want. It is selective justice designed to keep our leaders scared and obedient. And why do we bow to unelected people in the United Nations? Because the whole system was designed by the same former colonizers. The powerful countries still control the real decisions in the Security Council. We are just playing in their game with their rules. The architect of this whole game? It is the Western powers especially America and the old European empires. They made sure that even after slavery and colonialism officially ended, Africa would still remain under their financial, legal and political dominance. This was not built to help us. It was built to dominate us forever. Until we wake up, expose it, reject the debt traps and start building our own systems, we will continue to be slaves in new clothes. Africa must rise. Real sovereignty is the only way.
AfricanJesu@AfricanJesu

Who decided there should be 54 African countries? Why is Africa under the financial control of WTO, World Bank, and IMF? Why is Africa under the legal control of ICC and ICJ? Why does Africa bow to unelected officials in the United Nations? Who is the Architect of this Game?

@dmoonglampers_ @Quiet_eth1 And were Westerners so stupid that they didn't know how to map African lands, and due to their brain damage, ended up creating the current maps? They should have stayed in Europe if they were incapable of mapping the original terrain and its respective kingdoms.

Iraqi Christian Foundation@iraqschristians

On the eve of Palm Sunday and Holy Week, in the ancient Christian town of Suqaylabiyah, Syria, groups of armed Islamists are attacking Christian shops, homes, and churches. The Al-Qaeda/ISIS-aligned Syrian government is encouraging these attacks and has been a catastrophic disaster for Syria’s Christians and other minorities, as predicted. Middle East Christians are currently under attack from the Holy Land to Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. God help everyone.

SOTA@sotaproject

❗️ Пытавшегося вступить в ВСУ черкеса депортировали из Украины. Вскоре он погиб в заключении России. 19 декабря 2025 года представитель общественного движения «Свободная Черкесия» Беслан Кмузов рассказал (facebook.com/bkmuzov/posts/…) о произошедшей за месяц до этого смерти 59-летнего Заура Шогенцукова, внука известного черкесского культурного деятеля Али Шогенцукова. По данным Кмузова, с которым поговорила «Сота», в августе 2024 года Шогенцуков прилетел в Минск и оттуда попал в Украину, перейдя пограничную реку Припять. После этого он сдался пограничникам и начал проходить проверку СБУ, в ходе ожидания решения которой, по данным Кмузова, ссылавшегося на сообщения самого Шогенцукова, «его избивали, требуя признания в том, что он является засланным агентом», и готовили к обмену, что закончилось вскрытием Шогенцуковым вен. В итоге задержанного отправили в СИЗО за незаконное пересечение границы и приговорили к заключению. После того, как Шогенцуков смог связаться с черкесской общественностью в эмиграции, к ситуации было привлечено внимание украинских военных: обмен Шогенцукова был отменен, дело отправлено на пересмотр, а с февраля 2025 года представитель «Кавказского легиона» ВСУ Ладо Гамсахурдия через суд добивался (t.me/georgia_man/54…) перевода Шогенцукова в его подразделение. Решение об отказе было вынесено в октябре, а 27 ноября 2025 года Шогенцуков из миграционной тюрьмы (Черниговский ПТПИ) был передан в Управление миграционной службы по региону, считая, согласно его звонку родственникам, что теперь его заберут в ВСУ. Однако в действительности Шогенцукова депортировали, а 19 декабря, как стало известно Кмузову, уже в российском Нальчике тело Шогенцукова было выдано родственникам. 24 января 2026 года ситуацию по просьбе «Соты» прокомментировал (facebook.com/bkmuzov/posts/…) «Легион «Свобода России» (ЛСР), в который Шогенцуков стремился попасть. По данным ЛСР, он «никогда не находился в нашем подчинении». При этом в ЛСР подтвердили проходившую в отношении Шогенцукова проверку: «…положительного решения от СБУ на освобождение Заура и направление его для прохождения службы в ЛСР принято не было». Также ЛСР подтвердил ключевой факт: Шогенцуков, действительно, был депортирован после 27 ноября 2025 года, однако страна депортации из сообщения осталась неизвестной: «Все последующие решения — относительно его статуса, содержания, судебных процедур и депортации (подчеркиваем: депортации, а не обмена) — принимались исключительно государственными органами Украины в рамках закона и установленной процедуры». Миграционная служба Украина в ответ на запрос «Соты» 6 марта отказалась раскрывать сведения о Шогенцукове, сославшись на тайну персональных данных, однако заявила, что «иностранцы <…> не могут быть насильственно <…> высланы <…> в государство, где их жизни или свободе угрожает опасность <…>». Российские органы власти запрос «Соты» проигнорировали. Добавим, что, по данным Кмузова, Шогенцуков в Черниговской области содержался вместе с также пытавшимся вступить в ВСУ Алексеем Герасимовым, в мае 2025 года, согласно статье (verstka.media/istoriya-zhite…) «Верстки», выданным в РФ в рамках обмена и арестованным по делу о терроризме. Занимавшаяся судьбой Шогенцукова украинская волонтерка Елена Глущенко 26 февраля 2026 года рассказала (facebook.com/10000018454240…), что за Шогенцукова «сражались» в ГУР, но «чиновники из черниговского ПТПИ и черниговского ДМС не отдали его ГУРу, а отдали стране-агрессору». Глущенко также провела параллели с судьбой Герасимова. Мать Шогенцукова не может публично предоставить документ о его смерти, опасаясь преследования со стороны властей РФ, а отсутствием документа пользуется украинская Миграционная служба: «Нет дела – нет дела», – описывает ситуацию Кмузов.

The archetype of “the good Russian” is the incessant attempt of the West to humanize the Russians and make them into something they are not. Ironically, the Russians that actively oppose the war - either by helping Ukrainians at the risk of their own lives or fled to Ukraine to fight on their side - are treated with utmost respect. Why? Because they have defied a culture that punishes being decent. But those are very few. The majority defend and support the invasion or are apathetic about it. Yet, the West is hellbent on humanizing them. They think the Russia will change once Putin is gone. It won’t. Because russia is full of Russians.

Territorial Changes In The Ukraine War Compared To The Western Front In WW1 But keep in mind Russia has more than 3X Ukraine's population and still hasn't been able to win, whereas the Allied & Central Powers were much more closely matched at this point in the war on the Western Front.

Everyone misses the point on mouse utopia. The standard reading of it is essentially Malthusian: too many mice, not enough space, behavioral collapse, "beautiful ones" withdraw, population dies. The popular takeaway becomes either "overpopulation doom" or "decadence causes civilizational collapse", which are moralistic framings that don't really explain anything. What actually happened is that the mice were placed in an environment where all constraint navigation was removed. No need to explore, forage, compete for resources in any meaningful way, build or maintain territory through actual competence. The environment was fully provisioned from outside. That's a system where agency has no functional role. The mice couldn't do anything that mattered. There was no feedback loop between behavior and survival. The problem isn't resource scarcity or abundance, it's that a centrally provisioned system destroys the local constraint gradients that agents need to develop and express competency. The mice couldn't form functional social structures because functional social structures are the solution to distributed constraint problems. Remove the problems, and the structures have nothing to coalesce around. The 'beautiful ones' are the clearest example. Mice that withdrew from all social life and did nothing but groom themselves. They weren't lazy or broken, they simply never had anything real to do. Nothing to solve, nothing that needed them. So they turned inward, endlessly, with nowhere else to go. The actual lesson is that agency is constituted by constraint navigation, and an environment that removes constraints doesn't liberate agents, but makes them slaves of themselves.
Arthur MacWaters@ArthurMacwaters

The haunting part about mouse utopia: > birthrate collapse happens when social structures collapse > abundance of resources actually makes things worse --- Literally not a single state in the US is above replacement rate in 2025. And it's not for lack of resources
