I keep discovering amazing new music while learning German (through Music). I really wish I would have known about this when I was younger, I would have loved it then as much as I do now! And of course, it's connected to one of my all time favorites, Einsturzende Neubauten.
Bonjour tout le monde, je suis #nouveauici. Mes centres d'intérêt sont #ancientgreek, #art, #biochemistry, #english, #french, #german, #latin, #philosophy, #portuguese, #science, #stoicism et #transhumanism.
and another #petition ............
since our #German polit-clowns declined any attempt... perhaps there is an option on #EU level...

HistoryL 2 July 1900
"LZ 1 made its first ascent on 2 July 1900 in Manzell Bay near Friedrichshafen. The first Zeppelin airship remained in the air for 18 minutes. The experience of the maiden flight was converted immediately into technical improvements."

Could a native/fluent #german speaker help me to understand the difference between "lebe" und "wohnen".
I'm using a lot of digital media right now to learn German on my own. Specifically:
In Addition, I am listening to podcasts like "News in Slow German" and "Coffee Break German".
While listening to "the Coffee Break German today" I became very confused when they were using sentences using "wohnen" instead of "lebe", which all the digital media seem to prefer.
So my questions are:
Any help with this would be very much appreciated.
Danke!

What is meant by ‘proportionality’ in war? Let’s begin with Michael Walzer, author of the seminal Just and Unjust Wars, explaining what proportionality, in international law and in just #war thinking, is not.
Proportionality doesn’t mean ‘tit for tat,’ as in the family feud. The Hatfields kill three McCoys, so the McCoys must kill three Hatfields. More than three, and they are breaking the rules of the feud, where proportionality means symmetry.
But if proportionate does not mean symmetry, what does it mean? Walzer again:
The use of the term is different with regard to war, because war isn’t an act of retribution; it isn’t a backward-looking activity, and the law of even-Steven doesn’t apply. Like it or not, war is always purposive in character; it has a goal, an end-in-view.
In other words, the goal pursued by military action must be proportionate to the ongoing threat faced. Israel’s goal is the removal of Hamas as the controlling political and military power in #Gaza is proportionate because 7 October made clear that Hamas now poses an existential threat to #Israel.
Israel’s goal is proportionate to the revelation that the mass slaughter of all the #Jews of Israel will be attempted again and again by Hamas and #Palestinian #Islamic #Jihad until successful, with whatever technology and weaponry can be acquired or supplied, under the guiding hand and financial support of a nuclear threshold state religiously committed to Israel’s destruction, #Iran.
Although Hamas has declared this eliminationist goal openly, again and again, western #liberal opinion has refused to take it seriously. What Paul Berman calls our ‘liberal naivete’ (‘No, they can’t mean that! No one can mean that!’) has routinely trumped what Hamas, as the kids would say, literally tell us, in words and, as on 7 October, in deeds.
Here is what Hamas has said.
Muhammed Deif, then the Hamas bomb-maker, now one of its leaders, said in 2005 after Israel’s disengagement from the Strip, ‘We promise that tomorrow all of #Palestine will become hell for you.’
Hamas ‘foreign minister’ Mahmoud al-Zahar said in 2006, ‘Israel is a vile entity that has been planted on our soil, and has no historical, religious or cultural legitimacy. We cannot normalise our relations with this entity.’
Ahmad Al-Jabri, the Hamas military commander killed by Israel on day one of the 2012 conflict, called Jews ‘rats’ to be killed in the cause of liberating ‘Jerusalem, the West Bank, and then Haifa, Jaffa, and Tel Aviv’.
And, infamously, the Hamas Charter, its set of founding principles and its programme, adopted in 1988 and never revoked, declares: ‘Israel will exist and will continue to exist until #Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it’, and ‘[Hamas] strives to raise the banner of #Allah over every inch of Palestine’, so ‘Jihad becomes the individual duty of every #Moslem. In the face of the Jews’ usurpation’. And no, ‘Jihad’ does not here mean ‘spiritual struggle’. It means the #slaughter of 7 October. And all the slaughters they plan for the future. ‘The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them’ says the Hamas Charter, quoting a hadith. ‘Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: “O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.”’
On 7 October 2023 the word became deed. That day should have brought an end to the games that westerners play with these #genocidal Hamas statements, to their clever-clever ‘translating’ of them into mere ‘rhetoric’, the ‘language games’ liberation movements play, just another ‘text’ or ‘discursive surface’ expressing the degree of its oppression and never the depth and intensity of its eliminationist antisemitism.
If you want to play those games you will find abundant resources within western intellectual culture to do so. (Actually, you will find little else these days.) But Israel’s neighbourhood is a bit different to the Modern Languages Association annual conference. In that region, when someone says they intend to kill you, they really intend to kill you. All of you.
After 20 years of Hamas terror attacks, suicide bombers, indiscriminate rocket and missile attacks, terror tunnels, drones, incendiary balloons, came a long-planned, meticulously prepared pogrom on such a scale that one has to go back to the Holocaust to find as many Jews murdered on a single day. And a pogrom of such a nature – Holocaust survivors shot in the head, #babies shot in the head, decapitations, #woman #raped and #executed, Jews burnt alive, young Jews hunted down and massacred en masse at a rave, Jews surviving by hiding under the dead bodies of their parents, atrocity videos uploaded to the internet – to make reasonable comparisons between Hamas and the #Nazi Einzatsgruppen units who carried out the Holocaust in eastern #Europe. (I taught the Holocaust at university and I could write an entire article just on the parallels: the eliminationist #antisemitic #ideology, the spirit of bacchanalia among the perpetrators, the monstrous baby-killing, the echo of those smiley photographs of cruelty the #German #troops sent home during the #Holocaust in the atrocity videos Hamas ‘militants’ (copyright: BBC) uploaded, sometimes to the social media accounts of those they were murdering, and more.
And it isn’t just the future threat from Hamas that is existential. It is existential now. No country, not the #UK, not the #US, not #France, not anybody, would accept the permanent mass trauma of citizens faced with a permanent threat of pogrom, or the possible depopulation of swathes of its country as fearful citizens flee from that threat.
How Israel sets about achieving the goal of removing Hamas as the power in the Strip is, of course, limited by prudential concerns (which I wrote about last week) and by the non-negotiable effort to minimise #non-combatant #casualties and maintain humanitarian corridors (which Jack Omer-Jackaman and I argued for in Fathom). The ratio of combatant to non-combatant deaths achieved by Israel in previous military operations to restore deterrence in face of Hamas’ indiscriminate rocket attacks has been consistently better – far, far better – than anything achieved in its wars by the US, the UK, not to mention #Russia. Every effort should be made to make it so again.
In the 19th century and the first half of the 20th, pogroms didn’t have consequences for the pogromists because the Jews were powerless because stateless. Well, not any more. Since 1948 there is a Jewish state with the IDF on its ramparts. Hamas is going to find out that pogroms now have consequences. Its total removal from Gaza will be a proportionate response to its total threat it now poses to the only #Jewish homeland in the world.
I am currently trying to learn German on my own. I was hoping someone could suggest some German songs to help me learn German.
I've listened to EinsturzendeNeubauten since I was 18, so I've started listing to them again. "Ein Stuhl in der Hölle" is a perfect example of what I'm looking for.
I've also discovered the song "Wir tanzen im Viereck" from another band (Stereo Total?) which is very funny and repetitive.
Can anyone please suggest some good songs. Preferably where the German is not very complicated (I'm just trying to get to A1 level now) and not songs for children (unless it's actually nice).

Some weirdo german words:
'Beherzigen'
https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/beherzigen
English - possibly literally - "take to heart"
Un beau film documentaire hollandais sous-titré en allemand, qui parle de la scène techno hardcore aux Pays-Bas, en s’intéressant particulièrement aux personnes qui écoutent ce style de musique, en faisant leur connaissance, en nous présentant leur histoire personnelle, en expliquant la place que le hardcore a eu (par exemple, dans le fait de lutter contre un cancer ou un mal-être) ou a encore dans leur vie. (durée 47 minutes)
Glatzen, Trainingsanzüge, große Pupillen und 180 BPM, das war Gabber in den 90ern. Was als Undergroundbewegung begann, wurde aber bald vom Mainstream kooptiert und erstickte dann schließlich an seiner eigenen Beliebtheit. Aber ganz ließ sich Hardcore nie verdrängen – und ist heute wieder zurück.
_
Die niederländischen Raver Gabbahontaz, Earlyvenus und DJ Dissoactive bezeichnen sich alle als Gabber. Sie alle haben ihre eigene Sicht auf die Entwicklung der Hardcore-Szene von der Blütezeit in den Neunzigern bis heute.
_
Wir folgen diesen drei jungen Gabbern im Vorfeld des Hardcore-Festivals Ground Zero in den Niederlanden. Der Dokumentarfilm unserer Kollegen in Amsterdam zeichnet ein Bild der lebendigen Hardcore-Subkultur durch die persönlichen Geschichten dieser ‘neuen Gabber’.

Peak #German bureaucracy
This is a long shot but I thought I would ask here....
I just read that in August 2021 the #German government finally changed the #sexist law that prevented me from getting German citizenship when i was born (1970 - yup., I'm old :)
Does anyone here have any experience with trying to obtain #citizenship in DE under such conditions?
I could really use this. I want to get rid of my US citizenship as that country has NEVER represented me. I've been living in CZ for over 20 years now but my Czech is so bad that I cannot even pass the language exams.
My mother was a war child if that makes a difference. Any info you could provide would be appreciated.

Yep! We see us! He mastered #German
Meanwhile, the #German chancellor, Olaf #Scholz, and the defense minister will present a new support package for Ukraine worth 770 million dollars.
The package reportedly includes two #Patriot launchers, 24 #Leopard1A5 main battle tanks, 40 Marder infantry fighting vehicles and 20,000 artillery shells.
A Nato source said that the US president was attempting to convince Mrs von der #Leyen, a former #German defence minister, to succeed Mr #Stoltenberg amid fears a suitable candidate will not emerge in the next 12 months.
“We’re going to have a problem next year when it becomes clear that the field is no stronger than this year,” a second source said.
Mr #Biden and Mrs von der Leyen have built “a strong bond” in recent years, fostering close transatlantic ties over #China, #Ukraine and the #climate, another source said.
