    (To be clear: I do think that the AfD is a far-right party and that the Left Party is an anti-Semitic party. Not just because of the number of party members and voters holding such convictions but because of these stances being tolerated by the respective party leaderships.)

    The AfD is far-right – a single state branch is enough to prove that. Similarly, the Left Party is anti-Semitic – again, a single state branch is enough to prove that. Now, leftists can gladly reject a pars pro toto as a fallacy, but then they won't be able to call the AfD far-right or fascist.

    Die AfD ist rechtsextrem – dafür reicht schon ein Landesverband. Entsprechend ist die Links-Partei antisemitisch – auch dafür reicht schon ein Landesverband. Nun können Linke pars pro toto als Fehlschluss gerne ablehnen, nur fliegt ihnen dann der Faschismus der Rechten um die Ohren.

    There were good reasons why the Obama Administrtation opted for the "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action" in 2015 ("Iran Nuclear Deal") instead of military action. They got UN inspections of the nuclear sites (more or less) and didn't need to keep the Strait of Hormuz open by force.

    Put differently: It was precisely because of that leverage that Iran could establish and secure its dictatorship for more than 40 years – there simply were no ways to oust the regime. Ot at least not without a heavy price. Which we're going to pay now with this U.S. adventure.

    (I exempt Israel from this allegation of adventurism because Israel has far more vital reasons for its attacks. Still I think it is dangerously overstreching its forces and harming its economy.)

    The awful result is that now a ground invasion into Iran and regime change looks inevitable. Leave the theatre and achieve (at most) "regime modification" still leads to an Iran adamant to build nuclear weapons. And it can do so even when mostly destroyed, with the Strait of Hormuz as hostage.

    But as John Bolton in a recent interview said: The Europeans play it wrong. They should make support to the U.S. dependent on the willingness of the U.S. to keep supporting Ukraine. But that won't happen, even though the NATO restrictions are not the issue here.

    Only 17 days into the war and the U.S. already begs for support. That is, to say the least, pretty embarrassing.

    I'm astonished about how much resentment there is against AI. I think most criticism of it is mistaken as it ascribes to AI what are far more traits of capitalism.

    “Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale", the reboot of the 1990s series, has been abolished. Not bad news.

    I watched the original series and although I can understand why many young women back then may have found the series "empowering", I detested it for its propaganda of leadership cult (resting on privileged access to reality by the heroine), falling into line behind the bigger cause, and group pressure. But that never has seemed to be an issue for the audience. What I did like in the original "Buffy" series, though, is its theatrical embodiment of the various voices of one's mind and personality (pretty much like the original "Star Trek" TV series setting), with every character playing and embodying one specific trait of the same person, and the group dynamics of those "traits". But I doubt the "Buffy" reboot would have bothered with such niceties.

    Should anyone press me to pick my three most favourite Richard Thompson songs, I would decline and pick only two:

    "The Ghost Of You Walks" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-ZY4j-9NwI

    "The King of Bohemia" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNxvpJUPct0

    And it's not for the virtuosity of his guitar play or the complex harmonies of the score resulting from years of folk music training, it's for the few moments of astounding complex imagery of his lyrics he sadly too rarely achieves. But when he does, well ...

    I remember it was in the late 19980s that I first saw Andrei Tarkovsky's "Nostalghia" (1983) in cinema. What struck me and made me an ardent Tarkovsky fan for many years was, obviously, his way of composing of images – movies that effectivly were sequences of still lifes.

    But it was not just the composition, not just the visual ingredients, not the religious connotations. What Tarkovsky brought about was a visual impression that we, back then, had never seen and never thought could be seen.

    And perhaps that applies to all the great movies and film makers: They made us see things we hadn't imagined before, and never thought could been that way. And could later on never be "unseen" again.

    Anyway, today's movies and TV series still try to impress with visual gimmicks (plus sound, of course), but they feel stale. Perhaps because we've seen it all, and the CGI cannot gloss over the poverty of imagination that comes with mass production and overused tropes.

    This is not about cheap criticism of "capitalism". This is about that images no longer nourish us because they are in oversupply while they are in banal and cheesy condition. Visual fast food that creates visual food deserts. (Another reason why people need to study art history.)

    When you don't act to something that bothers you and you feel ashamed of your cowardice, remember: You cannot act now because as the child makes you able to see, it is the child that prevents you from acting as an adult. (That's not an excuse but an explanation.)

    ♪ Steve Earle, "Ellis Unit One" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tc700Yi8KQ

    His other classical song against the death penalty. Again, by slowing down the tempo he increases the tension. Usually one hears the version with The Fairfield Four from the movie "Dead Man Walking", but I like this version way more.
