  • Right now, we do what we can to fix things.

    Are people doing enough?

    Most people don’t do what they can.Trump can do whatever he wants because Putin got him elected and most people haven’t voted for him, or voted for him and agree.

    I hadn’t noticed the strong link between guilt and responsibility. I just think that people are responsible. But now it makes sense as a strategy:

    This is the point where one person is singled out as the cause of the trouble and is expelled or killed by the group. This person is the scapegoat. Social order is restored as people are contented that they have solved the cause of their problems by removing the scapegoated individual, and the cycle begins again.

    Trump is a scapegoat that takes all the guilt so people are not motivated to act.

    Coincidentally this and Girard in general are Peter Thiel’s favorite theory so my guess is that it is done on purpose.

    Which leaves the question how people can be motivated to act according to their abilities. All the skills are there. How do they know that it is their turn to act to maintain international law?







  • Es gibt kein Universum, in dem dieser Krieg den Interessen der Vereinigten Staaten dient.

    Allein um die Lieferung vieler Drohnen zu verhindern, die gegen die Ukraine genutzt werden, lohnt sich ein Angriff.

    Dann ist der Iran ein wichtiger Energielieferant für China.

    Der Iran hat starken Einfluss auf die Shiiten, welche in Saudiarabien in den Erdölgebieten wohnen.

    Der Iran unterstützt Yemen und gefährdet so die Nutzung des Suez Kanals.

    Wenn die USA Russland und China angreifen, wird der Iran eine wichtige Logistikroute.

    Europa könnte auf iranisches Gas ausweichen und den Verkauf von Frackinggas gefährden.

    Es gibt sicher viele weitere Gründe.
