If my business is local, buying from local suppliers as much as possible and employing local people it shouldn’t matter at all, if these local employees are ethnically the same and all have the same nationality.

So i would take it more as the former, ultra nationalist.

Someone already suggested hemp, but there is also other fibres like linen.

At the end of the day clothing would not be an issue at all, if clothes were made to last and worn accordingly. Unless you work in blue collar jobs, the wear on clothes is minimal and there is no reason why a set of shirts shouldn’t last you a decade.

Unfortunately this is known since two decades or so. I have learned about it in Uni 5 years ago.

I expect that car and tire manufacturers have been lobbying against this getting more attention extensively. There is no other solution except reducing car traffic.

There is only two opponents to Ukraine aid in the current federal parliament. The neoliberal FDP who just got booted out of the government and wanted to use Ukraine aid to ransom away social security, infrastructure investments and work towards mitigating climate change, and the fascist Putin financed AfD. The FDP is Merz favorite potential next coalition partner, if they should make it to parliament again. The AfD is what Merz is working towards since three years, but cannot make a coalition yet, because he needs to work more on normalizing them first. This currently happens on local and state level.

Merz is only been “pro Ukraine” because Scholz messed up regarding Taurus missiles and because the FDP used it as ransom to ruin other aspects of the state budget. Merz focused on this message as a driving wedge in the dysfunctional, now broken coalition. There is little reason to believe, that he is genuinely caring about Ukraine, or that he would make that a deciding factor in coalition negotiations.

140k people is about the amount of people living in a 1km radius around you, if you live in some inner city area.

And i hope your choice gets respected as it is your choice. The same should apply to the people whose personal effects have been robbed from their graves.

When looking at places like the British National Museum and when we look at many other Museums created at the height of Imperialism they were definetely signs of power over any scientific purpose.

It is the ultimate power move to get away with robbing artifacts from all over the world and putting them on display in your capital. And then having the audacity to claim to “take care of them” for your “underdeveloped” people wouldnt know how to.

I for sure dont want anyone to unbury me, steal my last personal effects to put on display and toss by remains in some cooler waiting further analysis.

That shouldnt matter. It remains an arbitrary decision by the living, who have no way of calling in the opinion of the deceased.

When coming across a burial site while doing archeological digging just restore it and move on.

The dignity of a human doesnt go away because people think his culture doesnt exist anymore.

thank you. I’m not fully in the NCD culture yet.

India is a contender for becoming a major power in a multipolar world, where the US is not the hegemon anymore.

So it makes perfect sense to help Pakistan and stir the conflict so, India is slowed in its advances to become a major power.

Did anyone ever say that?

I though Russia coming to the aid of Assad was pretty publicly admitted. Heck Russia had and has a Military Port in Syria and a very understandable motivation to keep it.
