Great talk, but a big L for stopping it just before the Q&A

This was very insightful and informative! - A GreekCypriot

How many east-german minded “traiters are still living with important jobs and “dirty secrets from their past in their unknown luggage? putins spies?

typical west propaganda

Evil man

Does simon think long covid is a psychological disorder?

Have you heard of people harassed or stalked by ex-Stasi agents even after the organization was abolished?

humanity's where??????????????????????????????

This is a response repeating part of an earlier post on Stasi : " @classact9002 After the Wall fell, did anyone go looking for these former Stasi members & kick their asses?" The short answer is not much. They were integrated into the West German civil service retirement system, and got credit for their years of work. I am struck by the absence of personal revenge by the people who were reorted on by the Stasi. Those who had their personal and professional lives disrupted or destroyed, and were not just mildly insulted or irritated by being observed and reported on, which was my situation. My comments are below. Disclosure: I was in both Berlins as a tourist in the 60s,70s, 90s,and 00s. I also lived in East Berlin for two years in the 1980s, before the unexpected change in management. I was not there for the fall of the Wall, but I did get my Stsi file. It is a hoot, and tells more aboiut tkhem than it does about me. "You are never alone if you are schizophrenic." I request thoughts on the absence of personal revenge by those who were reported on by the Stasi, against those who did the reporting. First the comments: ANPASSUNGSFAEHIGKEIT: This is the ability to adjust to a situation, and the DDR population did this in a range of degrees. Proverbs such as "You can't fight city hall," Don't try to p*ss against the wind," and "Bend with the wind" all seem to reflect the prevailing attitude. I know that an East German associate was a member of the Socialist Unity Party and the German-Soviet Friendship Whatever. She marched on Unter den Linden carrying whatever photos or slogans were required. I am confident that, if the Vegetarians came to power, she would not have had any problems marching with a poster of a turnip. Do as needed to perhaps get a better apartment, chances for your kids in school, or the goodies that dribble down to party members. Play the cards you are dealt, play the golf ball as it lies, don't try to swim against the tide, "Mitmachen!" RENDER UNTO CAESAR THE THINGS THAT ARE CAESAR'S: In German it is more specific, "Dem Kaiser geben was dem Kaiser gehoert." POPULATION DECLINE: In modern times there have only been two absolute population declines in peacetime. Ireland during the potato famine and East Germany before the Wall was built. DER STAAT ALS KINDERGAERTNERIN: This was Stefan Heym's characterization of the GDR, of which he was a citizen and resident. Respected but a pain in the rear at times for the government. The kindergarten teacher could discipline with a stern look, a rap on the knuckles, or time in Bautzen, a prison in the remote southeast of the country. She had an oblligation to care for all her chidren becuse she knew best. Likewise the government knew best and enforced the SED views on the population, which remained a mass of children. - - - - - - -NOW MY QUESTION:- - - - - Why no revenge against the ex-Sasi by those that they reported on? People had their personal and professional lives messed up by Stasi spies, but I have never read about the spied upon taking revenge, as in 9 mm pistol revenge, against the person who reported on them. Possible explanations: -"The Germans are peace-loving and all-forgiving in non-military affairs. They have short memories and do not carry grudges. This is another case of you looking at the world through your John Wayne-Rambo-cowboy eyes." I don't think that this is a satisfactory explanation. -The joy of unification cleansed the country of all anger. -There is an attitude of "everyone was doing it," reporting on everyone else. There must be something to this. This was indeed reflected in the film "Gundermann," when Gundermann confesses to a colleague that he was the subject of a report by Gunderman to the Stasi. The colleague laughs and says that he had also reported on Gunderman. Another Bibical thought, "Let him who is without sin (or this sin) cast the first stone." -There is residual resentment at the de-Nazifiction process conduced by the WWII Allies, and especially the Americans, after WWII. I attended a National Party of Germany rally, which was just on the border of being made illegal, when the question came up. The speaker asked the wildly hypothetical and fantasy-like question, "Would there be de-Socialist Unification Parytification in the unlikely event of German unification?" The audience sentiment was clearly that this insult would not be appropriate or necessary. I sincerely (really) would like some enlightening views on this.- thanks, Dutch_Uncle

I believe it would be highly productive if you went further into the means by which this Stasi psychologically damaged/controlled those they considered dissidents or enemies of the state. There is a current program that seems to be implemented on a global scale that seems likely targeted at individuals that would score higher on abstract thought and free thinking concepts. I don't know that part of it factually, but it may be an issue with those that are more prone to self-reliance unless affected by groupthink or the pressures of that. Just like we includes those that would be more apt to become whistleblowers. Take it I am always so far but I was also a victim and I am so thoroughly committed to revealing what happened that I've already resigned myself to the idea of it they're not going to let me live. I'm concerned whether you want to call it courage or stupidity I just simply think of it more as resignation and integrity. What happened to me will shock the conscience. More importantly it will reveal corruption of an incomprehensible nature but then they had to cover that up. They've already tried to kill me once but if you want to kill somebody you are in many ways to make it look like chance. Then there's the story of John Lang who while trying to reveal corrupt practices by the Fresno Police Department decided he needed to kill himself and of course the best way to do that would be to stab himself and then he set his house on fire. Law enforcement's involvement in my circumstances will be evident from the number of recent encounters that I've had. Additionally, I became aware that the number of the police reports that I filed over the years have been deleted because they don't want the obvious appearance of somebody who's being harassed by constant fast, break-ins, assaults, and third-party well-being checks. I'm not special and there is no reason I should have this kind of scrutiny on me other than the fact that they had to steal my f****** money. The most realistic claims will be about corruption.

That was very interesting.

My uncle died fighting japs as part of British indian army

Why indians were so dying to lick the boots of their white english masters? In ottoman empire, greeks and armenians were the richest groups.. The average greek or armenian were richer than the average turk many times over.. But in ww1 with the first gun fired, they all switched to the british/french/russian side.. Arabs? the same story.. They either switched to british side or remained neutral... British empire treated Indians much worse than ottoman empire treated greeks/armenians/jews.. Tens of millions of indians had died of hunger. During the 1857 revolt British killed close to a million of indians.. But whenever british empire was in dire straits, like in ww1 or ww2, indians was always there to serve their masters, with a smiling face.. For example, British conquered iraq by using indians as cannon fodder.. What is the secret of that?

Who are these critters..on this show..? Wolf should have been taken out tried and. Sentenced after arrest..instead he received a blind tart a new Berlin flat 24-7 security and a new car...so who the fuck are you y dear speaking softly with reserve about this koont?

I used to work with an HVA dbag when I was at the OSCE. He kept talking about how everyone thought he was a sellout. Hey posed as a border guard..I knew a bunch of u.s. military dudes who would.pateol.the border when the wall was up .. anyways he spoke perfect Russian .. so I was like hmm you're a dirbag aren't you. I really wanted to find a way to make him go to sleep for a long long time but ... anyways

It's incredible how much intelligent shines through this woman.

I think we've dropped the ball not looking into Stasi-KGB cooperation in Dresden and particularly the Putin-Boehm connection and how that alliance may have been used at the end of the trail in late 1989 and early 1990 to move "high value property" to secure sites.

Yes it is taken from the illiad and the odyssey in the sense that they are both allegorical.. when dealing with myth you're in reality engaging in the mystery tradition

The change from the introduction to digital life, to social media, to mobile, to the use of algorithms to harvest human attention is exponential. Last year we got AI. Claiming concerns about the effect of these changes on brain health is akin fears about Martin Luther (!) imposing religious changes is nonsensical and short sighted. I don't think this boomer really understands modern technology or might not even use it.

Lol, the dood in his apron blowing his nose

somehow this presentation is both dead and alive.

This is such a disgusting perverted pedophile to try to excuse this horrible permanently damaging traumatic evil Barbaric ancient Jewish blood ritual that has literally been legal to harm infants for the sake of satisfying the pedophile fetishism of male genital mutilating. The American cultural practice is actually promotes this disgusting damaging ancient Jewish blood ritual to destroy every sexual aspect to control male sexuality by depriving both men women of natural normal sexuality by purposely mutilating male penises in order to control all male pleasurable experience especially to girls and women who are also deprive them of every sexual gratification satisfying sexual pleasure. Knowing full well mutilation of the foreskin is undeniably Barbaric and permanently damaging for life . Turning everyone into sexual cripples for life is an atrocity and a huge violation of human rights Sexual maiming and destroy all sexual aspects and amputationof the essential human male foreskin will permanently ruin its beautiful immaculate natural appearance and stops the many many extremely important essential functions for life sadly.functio ns thst makes the human male penis gradually destroys it starting the process of drying out of the once beautiful healthy natural normal glan to become very old looking dried out becoming very ugly disfiguring discoloration callousing karritzation and will be totally dysfunctional and uselessness is what is preferred by those who insist on performing this evil ancient Jewish blood ritual that has literally taking control in America and done on almost everyone born in this new Jewish nation America has become sadly. No one having the courage to stop or speak out against it so it continues to ruin our once natural normal country. God h we lp us

Interesting. Anna was my dissertation supervisor in 2018, an exceptional guide on my own research on the technologies employed by George III. Nice to see her spotlighted.

Excellent. Powerful is the connection with politics, society, democracy

yuck the esteemed Maddox for complaints psychiatrist who got an award for treating the public as stupid and using me cfs for his own ends as victim off the patients he claims are delusional and just militant and nasty . no i dont need you want you believe you or like you .

Thank you for an illuminating talk.

Yes there is always disruption to the human Psyche when change appears yet some home truths for you, never in all of human history was there the prospect that every move one makes will be tracked, assessed, quantified and qualified. Leading to financial discrimination and fascistic despotism. Never in human history was the unit of barer know as money ever done away with consistently. Never in human history were humans saddled with the prospect of conversing through an ethereal intermediary to a machine and not another human being for all one's communication. Never in human history did a dystopic tyranny ever posses the potential to totally control the mind, spirit, body, and freedom of movement, choice and expression of a population.

FREE Sappho : Poems at my channel. A beautiful book created by two great-hearted women! Auroral immortal Aphrodite, child of God, artful weaver, I beg you, O my Queen, neither with ache nor anguish conquer my spirit! But come to me-come to me now! Once, long ago, you heard my cry from afar, and from the golden house of your father you came to me, swift and beautiful astride your chariot down to our dark world, escorted by sparrows with fast-fluttering wings whirling round in the heaven-heat of summer. Swiftly they came; and you, o blessed one, your undying face smiling, asked me : ‘Why yet again are you suffering? Why yet again have you called me?’ What most of all did I desire for myself in my passion-heated heart? ‘Who, this time, am I to persuade to love you? Who wrongs you, Sappho? If she flees, soon she shall pursue you. If she refuses your gifts, soon she shall give them. And if she does not love you, soon she shall love you even if she resists.’ Come to me now and free me from my delirious agony. Fulfil what my heart desires and be my ally in the wrestle of love.

I don't know who exactly but my family does have a WW2 service medal fromy grandmother's side.

your sound levels are not that bad

Funny how the bouquets on each table, as they are positioned, seem almost to be a part of each participant - not exactly a fig leaf. But seriously, my compliments to the Kelleys for their achievement.

This is fantastic

Thanks for Uploading.

Is Africanfuturism and Afrofuturism part of postcolonial literature?

Please use a lectern. It is very distracting to see you turning pages back and forth. This would also free you to look your audience in the eye.

Circumcision is evil

Wonderful!

Interesting, thanks.

Brilliant video! :)

Where can I find the handout link as mentioned at 33:40?

nice lecture

PAKISTAN GOT GB AND AZAD KASHMIR IN 1948 BUT INDIA GOT A PICTURE IN 1971

Why this did not get the views that fake news are getting. Maybe because it's not as exciting as blaming particular countries or ethnicities for the emerge of a Zoonotic disease. 87 in 40 years, it was matter of time.
