#ukraine
it seems that the #Guardian is restricting its policy about commentaries... anyway you can send a commentary which will then be checked and published (? where ?)
about #Ukraine #Taiwan #Nato #EU I recommend lostineu.eu ... always critical about this pathetic European response to the crisis ... and the commentaries are also worth while (use deepl ;)
someone in the commentaries linked to this article
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/aug/03/taiwan-nancy-pelosi-visit-ukraine-us
another one sent a commentary to the Guardian saying this below... this is also my „feeling“...
and now back to the second series of #In_Therapy on #Arte ... (I can't stand this Lacan blabla ...but the rest....)
Yes, we are flirting with disaster – but not only for fun.
A I assume, future historians – if there will be any – will look back at the current sequence of events in a psycho-analytical way: “Western civilization, subconsciously knowing that it will not be able to agree on the measures needed to prevent global overheating, depending on a economical system that can only be kept alive by infusions of cheap credits, challenged with recurrent waves of pandemic diseases, decided to rather perish with a big bang than in a long decline.”
This thesis may read cynical. However being surrounded by multiple crises has always been harder to endure than discharging the tension in an act of violence. Hence the enthusiasm with which most Western media embrace the Ukraine war – making the audience feel on the correct side of history: Us or Them corresponding to Good or Evil. Pushing the past sins of Us into oblivion. Forgetting the other serious problems we face.
I hope the psychiatrist will interfere before this will become Purgatory.
