    German education doesn’t actually tell you much about the Second World War and more about the Shoa and the implications of the ideology of National Socialism. Less about military strategy (like Operation Market Garden etc), more about gas chambers and death camps, deportation logistics, systematic dehumanisation. Exceptions are analysis of speeches.







  • I consider these associations of QOL improvements with mythical characteristics attempts of narrative control, with which religious leaders could exert power over new developments. My assumption is that previously, organised religions were powerful and agile enough in their narrative that those new development could be held in control of the religion, but with the beginning of exponential and distributed knowledge production they were kinda outnumbered and became as weird as they are today. I have no motivation or sources to back this up, though.





  • I think the Russian Empire will not give away expensively conquered land and people to basically a political vassal who is a member in a concurrent political entity and system. Today’s Political Hungary might have powerful aspirations, but it’s current actual power is somewhat limited to a gatekeeper (migration, military aid, energy flows) since Hungary is not a big entity like the USA, Russia, China or the EU as a whole.

    I wonder how much the situation would compare to a hypothetical scenario where Texas would hold trade talks with China.
