Das ist die dämlichste Begründung, die man haben kann, denn für andere Religionen werden keine Tanzverbote oder ähnliches gesetzlich vorgeschrieben oder überhaupt gefordert. Religionsfreiheit muss auch Freiheit von Religion sein. Es kann echt nicht sein, dass andersgläubige/nichtgläubige sich an christliche Gesetze halten müssen, obwohl diese überhaupt keine Relevanz für jemanden außerhalb des christlichen Glaubens haben.

? CDU is in power in SH since 2017, re-elected 2022 taking over from the SPD, before that 2005-2012 CDU, before that 1988-2005 SPD.

I am not talking about SH because SH is just ONE part of Germany. The german Government was 16 years of sleeping on issues that needed solutions asap. Not all was bad, but in terms of future proofing Germany there wasn’t a lot.

And we have a fuckton of wind mills: We’re already producing quite a bit more than 100% of what we need and are continuing to expand. It’s not a partisan issue.

Okay, that is irrelevant as a reason that not all conservatives think like that. If they wouldn’t be one of the first affected states they would just do what CDU does in other places since these politicians wouldn’t be part of CDU otherwise.

The greens, and their voters, already are conservative in BW. Note that I said BW, not SH, not the federal level.

Sure, that is not a thing on the federal level, though, which is what I was talking about. Even in BW I see it as delusional to think the greens could overtake CDU but that is just my opinion.

Should and are are two different things. The question you should ask is: Is it easier to turn people away from the Church or to reform the Church, and as even the Catholics are right now reforming I think you should rather applaud them, and strengthen and support Catholics in that change, than saying, warning hyperbole, “Nooo come to me to Satan’s side with lots of gay sex”. That would only cause reactionary stroppiness.

When the biggest conservative Party has christian literally in their name religion and politics can’t be that separated. I for one think that the world is better off without religions but that not realistically ever happening, so reform is the only option. That doesn’t mean that we have to be happy with the slow speed of reform and the stubbornness of a lot of believers in certain matters. Some things just aren’t up for debate and have to be accepted.

I don’t have to fight the SH CDU on those issues because they’re not trying genocide trans people. They’d get into all kinds of trouble with the Lutheran church if they did that kind of messaging because the Lutheran church is very keen on that whole love your neighbour thing: They don’t want hate campaigns to poison people’s souls. And I see nothing, absolutely nothing, wrong with that.

That is good on a regional level but federally you can see a very alarming trend. Only thinking regionally is not the play. We NEED to fight for this everywhere because this may not be a thing now in SH but it may be a thing in the future. Also Lutheran church is just as likely as other denominations to just say they love but in actuality not loving at all. Just saying they don’t want that doesn’t mean that that is the truth. There are more than enough lutherans that hate just as much as catholics.

We are, and we are. This is not up to discussion. Just a bit further south in the Bavarian town of Hamburg, then-mayor Scholz defended torturing people with emetics. Wouldn’t happen here.

Oh so you feel superior? Any point you make is irrelevant then. A feeling of superiority doesn’t let you see things objectively. I also categorize SPD as conservative btw and think Scholz is neither a good chanselor nor a progressive and he should be banned from any political role for this and his involvement in the CumEx scandal.

If you define conservatives to not include conservatives, sure. Bismarck introduced universal healthcare to conserve public peace (less charitably, to stop people switching sides to the SPD).

Conservatives only care about things that either affect them directly or their rule. Naming one good thing that one conservative has done while not mentioning that current conservatives are trying to undermine that very thing is disingenuous at best.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Often there’s just a pet project and people want to see it implemented, blind to alternatives.

So we are just going to ignore all the pet projects of conservatives, for example Scheuers car toll, that cost the tax payer a huge amount of money while accomplishing nothing? Pet projects are stupid and shouldn’t be a thing. I doubt you would find a progressive that disagrees.

Like recently with the heat pump saga: Lots of (affluent) green voters and party members thinking “yes we’re happy with our new heat pump let’s make sure everyone has them”, ignoring that the better solution, both in climate and social terms, is to invest heavily in district heating.

And your opinion on that matter is the only correct one? How about we listen to experts that know what they are talking about instead of politicians that are heavily invested in a different outcome.

Aside from LNG terminals, do you see anything wrong with this?

What I see is a bunch of promises that will never happen. 16 years of CDU rule before the current government has shown exactly that. Claiming to do and actually doing it is a huge difference.

in BW the Greens are conservative and could, long-term, displace the CDU

That is just delusional. Every single conservative party is blaming all the problems and failings of the current government on the greens. There is no way that they will ever overtake CDU as the conservative party. All that is not even accounting that most of the greens and their voters do not want to be more conservative.

Then there’s the difference in creed – SH is very predominantly Lutheran, BW Catholic. Miles and miles of differences in official doctrine.

Okay, and? Shouldn’t politics and religion be as far apart as can be? Religion is notoriously slow in change and noone has the time to wait for religious conservatives to arrive in 2024.

But I really rather fight with proper conservatives about such stuff than with reactionaries about the right to exist of trans folks or something.

So human rights are not a good enough reason to fight conservatives?! I myself am not trans or queer in any way but something doesn’t have to affect me personally to see how harmfull it is. It is quite telling that this is again just a question of money. You would rather fight for money than for your fellow human.

…maybe this just is about us actually having at least a semblance of proper conservatives over here and progressives elsewhere can’t fathom non-insane conservatives existing.

SH is not the pinnacle of Germany and it also has its problems and if it is oh so great, why do they not lead by example?

I said that progressives should start to care about preserving what’s already good while implementing, and advocating, change.

If conservatives anywhere would be like "Hey we see the problem. Let’s fix this in a reasonable way " they wouldn’t be conservatives. It is that easy. The notion that progressives will just change stuff for the fun of changing things is frankly ridiculous. Times are changing and we have to change too to survive. This has been a law of nature for as long as life has existed.

When the likes of Maaßen want to destroy civil liberties that’s not conserving the status quo, and it’s also not preserving something good. It’s not conservative in any sensible meaning of the word at all.

You are right, this isn’t preserving something good. It is “returning to the good days” that christian conservatives want, because they don’t like the world changing. Returning to the time they think was the best is apparently better than just accepting change and adapting.

This is not even a problem of only the Christian conservatives but all of them. Lindner and the FDP want to basically make billionaires rule the world while everyone else slaves their lifes away for them.

I think you fail to account for the people that just don’t care or are too (morally or otherwise) corrupt to care. You will not get a CxU voter to vote for anything else than their christian conservative values where anything against the status quo is bad.

A simple fact is that actions to minimize climate change will never be popular because it will affect most people in significant ways and it will hurt. We still need to do this, though. Conservatives are so hyperfocused on not changing anything and making other people’s lives miserable that they cannot see what is coming to all of us not in the far future but potentially really soon.

There is no time to appease the conservatives and do things more their way to be more popular, because as the Americans say “if you give an inch they take a mile”. Nothing will happen and that is something we all can’t afford.

What it ultimately comes down to is corporate interest. Conservative parties will do nothing until it is in the interest of the corporations that fund them and their corrupt politicians. As you can see with the 49€ ticket, the railway maintenance or basically anything in control of FDP, CxU or SPD

But that is totaly in line with the Paradox. You don’t have to be tolerant to people and their beliefs if they use it in a malicious way. One look at what is currently going on in the US should be enough to say that religion in politics is a very bad idea and should not be tolerated. Idc if a random Dude believes in Jesus, Allah or the flying spaghetti monster, that doesn’t concern me, but if that dude uses those believes to enforce how I and everyone else has to live then that is a problem.

People are dying because of millennia old beliefs that are way outdated and were highly modified throughout time to fit certain agendas. I think that it is in everyones best interest if we let those beliefs be in the past, where they belong.

Aktuell ist das ganze Album “After Dark” von Essenger in Rotation, mit am häufigsten allerdings der Song Empire Of Steel.

You don’t really have to. On the invite page you’ll get a code that you just have to copy paste into the chat and then you wait for your interview.

In my opinion the most fun metalcore band out there! They do fun things just because they are fun and are a good break from all the edge and/or sadness that permeates the genre.

Thank you so much! It is not a hard hobby to learn. Once you know how to fold the pieces the biggest hurdle is to find something to watch while folding. Youtube is a great resource for beginners because you can find a lot of tutorials for pieces and for models to make where you can directly see how you have to stack the pieces. My models sadly are diagrams only but once you have done a model and look up what the symbols represent then it becomes pretty easy to make them aswell. As for tips: I always shape my pieces before stacking them, which means rounding out the front. To do this I use a stack of around 8 pieces, stack the new piece on top, and then I go gently i between the front of the wings with my finger. This sounds more complicated than it actually is and you’ll figure it out fast when you have pieces in your hand. I am also very happy to help with any questions or difficulties that come up so don’t hesitate to ask!

I have already made Umbreon and I plan on doing all of them eventually. I am currently working on and off on the Lamb from Cult of the Lamb.

Thank you! I really enjoyed making them so it’s great to see that you and everyone else enjoys them too!

Thank you very much!

Hat nicht lang gedauert, vielleicht 10 min und das ist um 2 Uhr morgens echt top! Mal sehen, wie ich mich hier einfinde, aber bisher gefällt es mir hier eigentlich ganz gut.
