Many times have I seen «what happens of the USA no longer wants to protect Europe», but what if Europe no longer wants to be protected by the new version of USA? Much scarier option.

jimbolino.bsky.social•7 days ago

Why scarier? It would be an intense fight uphill to get where we need to be. The life as we have know it for the last 10 years andmore has ended. Time to thrive in the best european manner.

When your lover walks away you pick up the pieces and move on. When you leave a revengeful lover, you shall feel the scorn.
US has 34.000 soldiers in Germany and several important strategic bases. The will only leave when they want to.

jimbolino.bsky.social•7 days ago

I think the US nuclear umbrella is what keeping us safe in Europe till now. The thing is...how much does the US need us Europeans?

Eines der häufigsten Falschzitate mittlerweile.

rikefranke.bsky.social•9 days ago

Warum falsch?

bentrovato.bsky.social•9 days ago

Hat nichts mit Gramsci zu tun - eine von Slavoj Zizek populät gemachte Falschzuschreibung.

Jein: "nichts" wäre zu viel gesagt. Vgl. Gefängnishefte Bd. 3, Hamburg 1991, 354: „Die Krise besteht gerade darin, dass das Alte stirbt und das Neue nicht zur Welt kommen kann: in diesem Interregnum kommt es zu den unterschiedlichsten Krankheitserscheinungen.“

cstroebele.bsky.social•9 days ago

/ "La crisi consiste a punto nel fatto che il vecchio muore e il nuovo non può nascere: in questo interregno si verificano i fenomeni morbosi più svariati." (Quaderni del carcere, 318)

bentrovato.bsky.social•9 days ago

ok, "nichts" ist tatsächlich zu viel gesagt. aber die griffige Formulierung wurde von Zizek gecoined :-)

frank-signs.bsky.social•8 days ago

Žižek hat eher sinngemäß, nicht wörtlich zitiert. Trotzdem durchaus lesenswert: https://newleftreview.org/issues/ii64/articles/slavoj-zizek-a-permanent-economic-emergency

Like a butterfly from a cocoon ... the new "Old World" might be the new world.

Uff

Yes. Old Tony had it right and he paid a heavy price for his intelligence and ethics.

Oh wow. So true.

jimbolino.bsky.social•7 days ago

I see a lot of people in the comments that see what is probably coming towards us europeans. The change starts with every single one of us.In our heads, first. Do the politicians do or think the same? I am afraid just the northern countries and the baltics really see whats coming.

I hate that all the subjects I study are being relevant for the current political situation

Me in university circa 2012 - "Wow, geopolitics and history are so fascinating! Glad that we know all of this so we can avoid repeating all that destruction"

Me, 2025 - 🥲

I’ve posted this quote several times lately I’m considering getting a tattoo of it at this point

retokromer.ch•9 days ago

The Italian original has an additional component: the chiaroscuro.

«Il vecchio mondo sta morendo. Quello nuovo tarda a comparire. E in questo chiaroscuro nascono i mostri.»

thand.bsky.social•9 days ago

Same in French translation: « Le vieux monde se meurt, le nouveau monde tarde à apparaître. Et dans ce clair-obscur surgissent les monstres »
