Dispatches (book) - Wikipedia

Heart of Darkness (original title: Heart of Darkness) is a story by Joseph Conrad that was first published in three installments in Blackwood's Magazine in 1899 and was also published in book form in November 1902. In this story, the sailor Charlie Marlow tells friends about his journey in Central Africa as captain of a river steamer. There he witnessed unprecedented cruelty towards the natives and increasingly doubted the justifications for exploitation, but his influential London friends involved in the exploitation of colonies were unimpressed by Marlow's shock.

Conrad's narrative is a contribution to the discussion of English colonialism and racism at the end of Queen Victoria's reign. The story, too short for a novel and too long for a novella, is now considered one of the most important works of prose in the English language.

Plato's words, “Only the dead have seen the end of war”, convey a profound insight into the nature of war and its ongoing devastation. For many, war means loss, trauma and despair.

Apocalypse Now - Wikipedia

The film impressed me so much because of the images about the truthfulness of the absolute disappearance of the thin layer of our human civilization in the transition to darkness.

For this reason, I am a pacifist because any means of violence shows the failure of human civilization.

You have to understand pacifism in an absolutely new form, you don't hold out the other hand when you are beaten! Instead, you do everything in advance to avoid being hit. Should all this fail, one considers oneself a defensive pacifist and defends oneself by all means.

If you don't show the street thugs a red line, you are just a victim. Unconditional pacifism only works with civilized people, but not with power-abusing, egotistical, self-absorbed beings who think they belong to the human species.

We as humanity are constantly proving that we learn nothing from history, and that across generations.

The Magdeburg Wedding (also known as the Blood Wedding, Magdeburg's Sacrifice or, more generally, Magdeburgization) refers to the conquest and complete devastation of the city of Magdeburg by imperial troops under Tilly and Pappenheim on 10 May / 20 May 1631greg. in the course of the Thirty Years' War.

Magdeburgizing

A term for the destruction of a city, a completely barbaric arbitrary targeted violence against normal people of a city by an army has created this word. Long forgotten but still highly current.

The devastation went so far that Magdeburg went down in the history of the Thirty Years' War as a symbol of destruction and cruelty with the term “Magdeburgizing”.

D-day is the day on which the antifa heralded the twilight of fascism.

Every dead anti-fascist has brought freedom to Europe and the world from the mass murderers who brutalize humanity.

To ensure that this never happens again, all democracy and its citizens have a duty to stand up when fascism shows its face.

If you have eyes and recognize evil, you must fight it. If you don't, then why do you have eyes if you are blind.

Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

Everything that results from this in the present is the result of a process of omitting unutilised opportunities for the common future.

Mutual forgetting and mutual forgiveness can solve the problems of both.

Even if it sounds impossible, bring those who were and are responsible to justice and start again.

This without mutual recompense of suffering, no matter how great it was, will only create new hatred and incomprehension.

Jimmy Carter in 2007. This is the man who brokered the most important peace deal in Israel's history. Israel's existence as an apartheid state isn't new. It isn't some "Communists in College don't know history" talking point bullshit.

As Carter says, Americans don't know this because they don't want to know. We've been able to ignore and look past the Apartheid because it was just too easy for us not to look.

It has only grown worse in the past 17 years.

In the end, he dissolves into the shadow he always was. He could have created his own new world with her, bigger than her ancestors, but unfortunately her upbringing of smallness was the beginning of his failure. In the end, his love for her was the final condition of his failure.

What did he gain but the realisation of her imprisonment and his inability to free her from it?

Humility.... before everything that fails out of love.
