Doorbraak.eu · Wat denken Chinese arbeiders over de Communistische Partij? | Doorbraak.euEr wordt voornamelijk naar de VS gekeken wanneer linksen proberen om alle geopolitieke ontwikkelingen te begrijpen, die vaak al decennia spelen en die met de verkiezing van Trump in een stroomversnelling lijken te zijn gekomen. De situatie in China wordt daarbij veel minder meegewogen, mede vanwege een gebrek aan kennis. Terwijl dat land toch van wezenlijk belang is, zeker voor

"Americans had adopted children from abroad in previous decades, most notably from South Korea, but Operation Babylift created a story around adoption that transformed the displacement of a foreign baby to an American home into an act of charity. Out of the horrors of war came an opportunity for benevolence and absolution."

What a fun, interesting, lovely read this is! I hope that the tea shop owner's wish, as stated near the end of the essay, is fulfilled and that the legacy of the shop and its wonderful volunteer customer operators remains in place for many years to come.

Es wird euch nicht überraschen, dass ich mich in den letzten Tagen viel mit dem Koalitionsvertrag zwischen CDU-CSU und SPD befasst habe. Ich bin ja SPD-Mitglied. Sollte ich zustimmen? Sollte ich ablehnen? Die Entscheidung ist mir nicht leicht gefallen, und es gab viele Schwankungen in mir. Ich veröffentliche gleich einen Text, der meine Entscheidungsfindung nachzeichnet.

I am driven by my emotions.

"Our opinions generally have emotional rather than intellectual roots, and indeed rationality largely functions as a post hoc justification. Our political opinions, ultimately, are what we feel about the world, not what we think about it. And in turn, our opinions about particular events have a lot to do with how we feel about the world in general. It’s not an exaggeration to say that most people’s views about the kind of things that happen today are extensions of concerns of their own ego. And consequently, invitations to change their minds because new facts emerge, or because old ideas are discredited by new evidence, are in fact a threat to the strength and even survival of that ego."

"But few people, especially those who have received a decent education, want to acknowledge that their views are based on emotion and not reason. They therefore try to argue".
