Know where to pitch a tent.

If you are close to a stream, pitch the tent a few meters above the water. If it rains you don’t know how quickly it can rise.

In the same wake, if you are pitching on a plain, pitch your tent on a relative rise. If you pitch in a relative depression rain will drench you.

If you pitch on a slope, and there will usually be slight slopes, pitch your tent so, that your head is facing upwards when sleeping.

If a storm is expected you might be inclined to pitch under a tree, but be careful. If a branch breaks off and hits you, that can be very bad.

If you pitch your tent in the open and it is a hot summer, the inside will get very hot very quickly. Make sure to get up and out early, don’t get wasted at night and bring reflective covering. People died at festivals when they stayed in their tents when getting wasted and then getting roasted in their tents.

Countries as a whole? That is difficult to say. Typically you won’t here much from such countries, as they don’t enforce themselves on others.

This depends on the state.

For instance in Brandenburg and Schleswig-Holstein you can camp “in the wild”*

*there is limits in natural preserves, and what is defined as camping can vary. e.g. tarp vs tent, obv. no RVs…

Contractors, private military companies… Call it what you will.

They are mercenary scum paid to do the war crimes for your government.

Not necessarily. Problem is when patriotism is not defined positively through your countries achievments and striving for self improvement, but through negativity to other people.

The US patriotism evidently revolves around the latter, so does most patriotism i have witnessed in European countries. I cant speak for so many other countries as i havent visited them enough.

The West Bank isn’t Gaza. In Gaza the counted numbers are around 60.000 now and the realistic numbers are more around 100.000

The red area is the West Bank and a small part East Jerusalem. It is under illegal Israeli occupation and the settler terrorists are slowly ethnically cleansing the area with the IDF, but not bringing widespread destruction yet like in Gaza. Gaza is the small Beige coastal area.

Did it improve? Yes. Did it improve more than the general improvement through advances in technology, medicine etc.? That is at least questionable.

If we look further at unethical experiments done on primarily black communities or prison inmates, again primarily black, such as testing biological warfare agents and pharmaceutics on them, regular lynching and other acts of deadly violence, the whole forced labour in the prison system… It becomes clear, that the government still very much considered the former slaves and their descendants as property, they could largely do with as they pleased.

But you can’t leave the property because you cannot afford rent anywhere else. You can’t get a different job, because there is no different job available in the area. You can’t get a better education because you cannot pay for it or even if it is free you cannot pay for your survival without the full time job, or multiple part time jobs. You get abused by the police or now also the ICE. You can’t afford to marry anyways…

Of course from the formal rights it is a huge difference, however from the practical result, modern wage work for working class people creates similarly unfree conditions. And it is no surprise that the ardent Neoliberals want to go further and establish slavery, by allowing contracts where people sell themselves “voluntarily” into permanent ownership of somebody else. This is the ultimate freedom according to these kind of Capitalists and they work to create such a society.

Why?

The story of GTA is pretty good most of the time.

It is not dead serious, but a satire of the time and place the respective title is set in.

Still a better outcome to worker ratio,

If a slave is granted accommodation and food by his master, is it functionally different from a worker in a country with no social security, whose wage does not cover both food and accommodation?

The Islamic golden age ended because of centuries of European crusades followed by the mongol invasion. It had little to do with a lack of appreciation for science and scientists.

But there is only so much scholars can do, when under relentless attacks by barbarians.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Golden_Age

This period is traditionally understood to have begun during the reign of the Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid (786 to 809) with the inauguration of the House of Wisdom, which saw scholars from all over the Muslim world flock to Baghdad, the world’s largest city at the time, to translate the known world’s classical knowledge into Arabic and Persian.[4] The period is traditionally said to have ended with the collapse of the Abbasid caliphate due to Mongol invasions and the Siege of Baghdad in 1258.

I keep saying it. Ukraine will be sacrificed to Russia, so Israel can keep up the genocide and invading its neighbors.

Merz, Macron, Starmer… The ghouls that applauded Israels war of aggression against Iran are more and more betraying Ukraine to Russia and subsequently they are betraying their own people too.

The “Burn Britannia Sauce” is still available.

Also funny how, like with kneecap, the Zionist ghouls act all surprised, when artists use the same expressions they use normally, when they state their opposition to genocide.

Also, if you shouted death to Hitler in the ‘40s would you be getting this backlash too.

Among the Axis countries yes.

Unlike the comment i replied to, i do distinguish between the people who are aggressive about their anti-theism and atheists/anti-theists in general.

Blaming the violence that resulted from centuries of colonial oppression and the resistance against it on religion is a pretty tired trope that is intellectually lazy and deeply ingrained in overt and subtle beliefs of Supremacism in “Liberal” countries.

There is no doubt that the majority of Jews, Christians, Muslims and people of other faiths are just normal people, not holding more hate and not being more prone to violence than other communities. Calling them all " do support extremist hate religions" or referring to scriptures as “holy hate book” is lacking any differentiation.

No they did not do the right thing. The right thin would have been to come up with the plan to fix the whole thing immediately and then communicate it to potentially affected people and organizations, especially the employees working in that building or buildings that would be destroyed in a collapse.

It is completely unacceptable to omit life threatening danger from people and “face saving” and also likely “cost saving” by not having to rent other office space to stay in until the corrective measures were taken, were put over the life’s of thousands of people.

What a load of bigoted bullshit.

There is about 2 billion Christians in the world and 1.8 billion Muslims. If they were to “support extremist hate” like you describe it, we would be at a global war that would dwarf any war before it.

Meanwhile people who are outspoken Anti-theists, often support the most vile supremacism, combining their belief of intellectual supremacism with beliefs of racial, cultural, ableist or other ideas of supremacism and subsequently justify bigoted violence including genocide. This also holds true for Zionism that for its longest time was a secular movement that faced heavy criticism by religious Jews and took a long time to create its warped understanding of Judaism in service of its imperialist ideology.

Of course it is convenient to blame imperialist violence on religion so as to distract from the imperialist and racist violence in your own ideology. This is also why some of the staunchest anti-theists are big supporters of US Fascism under Trump, willing to work together with the Evangelicals as the main goal is Fascism.

So he is equating the IDF, a genocidal gorganization, priding itself in executing medics, sniping children and starving millions of people while baiting some of them with the promise of food into a kill zone, with Judaism and Jews in general.

That sounds like an extreme version of the blood libel to me.
