This is truly insane. Showing too much national pride? Posting a political map that could have been part of any mainstream article? Seems to me that the real problem here for the authorities is showing enthusiasm for AfD. Just remember, this is not a sign of strength, it is a sign of profound weakness.
And just in case they are monitoring your Substack, let me repeat that for them. What they did to Loretta is a sign of PROFOUND WEAKNESS.
National pride must be exterminated! Who knows what evil could follow from such emotions? Maybe even patriotism! Germany and Somalia are exactly the same, and don't you forget it!
The problem that national pride is really useless. We need new definition and target for organising people together not a rectangular colored piece of cotton or geolocation.
For a ruling class that is based on globalism, too much national pride is indeed a serious threat. It is a direct challenge to their interests and worldview.
Is that right?.....well cue the next big battle for the German right-wing to fight because state schooling across the Western world is now little better than a woke sheep-dip (as I have written avout here): https://grahamcunningham.substack.com/p/teach-your-children-well
It is probably true to say that, in 2024, the average kid soaks up far more ‘learning’ from the internet – whether for good or ill – than they do from schoolteachers. It would surely be surprising if this gigantic cultural transformation did not eventually result in a parallel transformation of the way we educate the young. In the digital age, anyone who wants to educate themselves can do so. Pre-internet this would have been much harder. And could more parents working-from-home result in more homeschooling, aided by a growth of support networks like this, this and this?
Even back in the late 90's it was very easy to pick up English and Math from games and dial-up Internet much more efficiently than any school could teach.
And then after wasting 12 years going at a snails pace, finally reaching the University and learning that... it's a center for parties and sittings; ergo, for some it's about building connections to get hired, for others it's about getting to party for a couple extra years, and no one who stays is really there to learn.
By my experience, homeschooling, and finding like-minded learners, are superior to schooling even in adulthood. At least as far as the available equipment can take you.
in Belgium they do. I am not sure about Germany. Belgium also used to allow home schooling if the teaching parent was a real school teacher. This is 25 years ago, so might have changed in the meanwhile. I never knew anyone who home schooled there, but I know several here in the US who do. If I had kids I would too
I was home schooled from 4th grade to 9th grade and then went to a private prep school where they made us do college level work. It has given me an unparalleled bullshit detector.
Well that wasn't the case in my case. Most competent adults can handle things like teaching grade school math. My parents did decide when I reached 9th grade that outside teachers would help.
Most public schools are so dysfunctional now, that any competent parent should be able to do better up through college level material.
"Homeschool students score above average on achievement tests regardless of their parents’ level of formal education or their family’s household income."
You might be underestimating how incredibly stupid public school teachers are now. Decades ago when I went to school I had exactly three, in 10 years of school, worth a damn. Now they’re only marginally literate and spend most of their time talking about their sex lives and conspiracy theories they heard on TV.
When I was a kid it was an idiot’s job, and you were qualified if you could read out of a book, assign worksheets, and push stacks of punch cards or bubble sheets through a scoring machine. Most parents could do this, or better.
Today you’d have to be legitimately mentally impaired to do a worse job than a public school teacher. Only about two thirds of public school graduates in the US are functionally literate, and fewer are numerate (I’ve seen figures as low as 40%). The results speak for themselves.
Yeah, I know. It's because of fear by the elites of a second antagonistic culture developing. Never mind letting in a million migrants who are so culturally different and for the country. Pathetic really. When will people learn that government is allowed to exist as a social contract. That contract was to serve one purpose, to protect our rights, not restrict them.
It's a very old law (dates back to the 1918s) with they conveniently haven't changed yet. According to German law, you are endangering your children by not sending them to school. I suppose it was probably to address child labour in those days.
Child labour was probably the propaganda for selling the idea of state school, which is useful for getting folks up to a standard of reading and comprehension for bills and blue collar work -very valuable for globalists- but few are equipped to *comprehend* what they read.
Perhaps schooling in the 1860's was to capture the collective mind. The two wars were built on media propaganda; 'on air' (radio) and the written word. For example 'War of the Worlds' sucked in most of England because they didn't know they were listening to a popular book reading by its author and thought aliens were landing to kill them all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds_(1938_radio_drama)
Non-readers are distinctly on the back foot in our current case of modern warfare which is also being 'fought in the air' (or ether or plasma) of consciousness. Luckily the only bombs to fall are truth bombs, but they'll keep coming.
Not permitted in Germany. And when a German family fled to the United States to exercise their right to homeschool, they were rebuffed, albeit after 15 years. Just delayed in this case was justice preserved. Heh.
It is often said that Canada is the world's first 'Post National' Nation-state (courtesy of Trudeau et al.)... however, given the rapid decline of Germany's internal situation, perhaps it is the Germans who have surpassed Canadians on the 'Clown World' front long ago?
A couple years ago, the US Department of Homeland Security (there's a 1984 title for you) put out a list of signs to watch for in identifying domestic terror threats. One was honoring 9/11 anniversaries or celebrating religious holidays.
My Twitter was banned in 2020 but organic consumers, as Bill Gates gmo adversaries, were official declared bioterrorism threats in 2003 so anti-vax was just icing on the cake!
A new low for “The West”, which now happens weekly. It’s just embarrassing at this point; Hassling little girls because she apparently is a threat to the regime, with her little cartoon post!
Tell me you are weak, without telling me you are weak…
I'm telling you, it's those Smurfs! They're been far-right radicals ever since they appeared decades ago. They're little blue racists acting as a front for Russia, China, Zionists, Fascists, Putin, and Donald Trump. Bluemen = natural alies of Orangeman. Blue + Orange = old South African flag = Apertid = Fascism! Can't you see it people?!!!
Canada is close behind, don't you worry, with bill C-63. Potentially life in prison for saying something wrong. Not law yet but our glorious leader is working on it.
Get well quickly, I've been on the outs in that respect too.
The Trudeau law will also cover critical comments we made in the last few years .That means most of us will go to prison ,but the migrants will make up for the disappeared original citizen .
Hope you are soon in shape to enjoy the greening outdoors. No, not *that* greening!
We're sure in revived zombie episodes of that venerable TV show "You Are There." Genius of them, isn't it, demonizing national pride.
Although to be sure I always have a little trouble with that word "pride." Maybe for all of us we need national and ethnic and cultural unashamedness since none of us is responsible for where and what we were born into, the good and the bad and the neutral of any of it. It's what we do with where we start from that's the heart of the matter.
Wishing continued strength and courage to Loretta. She's gonna need plenty to grow up with her presently decent brains unrotted.
I think german, like swedish, has two words for pride - in swedish, "stolthet" is the positive kind of pride, like an athlete proud of an achievement or a parent's pride in their child learning to walk.
The other is "högmod" which is pride more in the sense of haughty looking-down-the-nose-at-others, I'm-simply-better-than-you hubris kind of thing.
Sure, but pride of accomplishment in sports or other similar things include humbleness & humility because one might not have won or achieved so there is gratitude for having done so. Haughtiness is hubristic “pride” w/ neither courtesy or decency
Yes, that was my point and the reason I mentioned that swedish (and german I think, and the other germanic languages) uses "stolthet" for the good kind of pride and "högmod" for the bad kind.
While english uses "pride" for both: "Pride in accomplishments" vs "Pride goes before the fall", and while there are indeed other words to use in english, that isn't the commonly observable usage, as english is becoming more and more simplified year by year, with a paltrier vocabulary among the common user and as an effect a paltrier intellctual capacity; words are thoughts and vice versa, and what we cant express because we don't know the word for it, we soon cannot think at all.
I can't but help feeling there's a purpose to dumbing down english, especially american english as it is the dominant form, from the 1960s to today.
Ah yes - haven't studied german since there were two Germanys you know. I mostly remember our teacher having us sing german songs and then picking apart the grammar.
Hochmut is the origin of swedish högmod, it's the same word just spelling adjusted to our pronounciation of it.
Doesn't Stoltz also mean foolish in a "too proud" sense?
I'd say "högfärdig" is closer to haughtiness, but that's a difference in degree that would be context-dependent more than anything. See my reply to SCA below, if you like.
Correct - the Old Swedish word is "stoller", meaning grand, beautiful, prominent (as in such a person). There's a related word, "stolle", which means "twerp" or "fool".
Högmod, as Kertch correctly notes, can be translated to haughtiness, though högmod is used in the swedish bible in any passage relating to "Pride goes before the fall": "Högmod går före fall". Högmod is however originally from Medieval German: hochmut.
"Hög" in swedish is both adjective (high) and noun (mound, pile), and it is the adjective that is used in "högmod"; roughly, "thinks too high of him-herself". However, we also have the word "högfärdig" which is even closer to "haughty" in meaning.
Pride is a deadly sin but if one can’t accept a “religious” meaning, pride = hubris anyway. Interesting that the LGBTQ-supracalifragilistic-expialidocious deliberately chose “pride” as their handle.
Humbleness & humility go a whole lot further in accepting what we’re born into & what we make of our lot in life
and we have C. Schumer in this country using his government position to try to interfere with the democratic process of another country. It would seem the only thing left to do regarding the redefinition of the word “democracy “ is for Webster’s to publish an official update.
In a Fuggalu, even haters have a voice, but it doesn't mean that other citizens of that Fuggalu are obliged to render respect or give further attention.
If she's anything like me, she just lied and told the cops what they wanted to hear.
The honest response would've been „if I did not break any law you will find yourself facing a formal complaint for misuse of authority.”
The police are at this point hostile forces, oppressing the local populace still naive enough to buy into the “Mein Freund und Helfer” narrative.
They don't care about anything but their pensions and salaries, they are better organized mercenaries and to be treated accordingly, with casual dishonesty and disdain.
This is truly insane. Showing too much national pride? Posting a political map that could have been part of any mainstream article?

...and worthy of nothing but unceasing sarcastic ridicule!
It would be necessary to invent new words to adequately describe how stupid and craven Germany's ruling class has become.
{...Germany's ruling class...} There is NONE since end of WW1 !!!
That country is entirely ruled by foreign agents residing on a small island in the NE Atlantic and an apartheid regime in the ME.
Interesting.
Glad someone pointed that out. It's absolutely integral.
"Traitors" would be a fair start...
Bingo. Relentlessly
Careful now! "Sarcastic ridicule" threatens the Constitution of Germany, which makes you a 'far right' hitlernazifascistphobeist!
It's really a sign of being enslaved by the Globalist billionaires next door to Germany...I'd call it the One World Reich...
National pride must be exterminated! Who knows what evil could follow from such emotions? Maybe even patriotism! Germany and Somalia are exactly the same, and don't you forget it!
National pride means a strong border, which is not fashionable
The problem that national pride is really useless. We need new definition and target for organising people together not a rectangular colored piece of cotton or geolocation.
For a ruling class that is based on globalism, too much national pride is indeed a serious threat. It is a direct challenge to their interests and worldview.
Worse than insane; it's evil.
Another great advertisement for homeschooling!

Oh no, so there is no alternative to government curriculum? Do private schools also follow the government guidelines?

Waldorf schools do not.
Yeah, I know. It's because of fear by the elites of a second antagonistic culture developing. Never mind letting in a million migrants who are so culturally different and for the country. Pathetic really. When will people learn that government is allowed to exist as a social contract. That contract was to serve one purpose, to protect our rights, not restrict them.
Homeschooling not allowed? That is so bad

Hochmut is the origin of swedish högmod, it's the same word just spelling adjusted to our pronounciation of it.

More likely - Ghetto English
I think högmod is more like arrogance. A more direct translation might be "haughtiness"..
I'd say "högfärdig" is closer to haughtiness, but that's a difference in degree that would be context-dependent more than anything. See my reply to SCA below, if you like.
I love etymology. "Stolt" is apparently related to the English word "stout" in its original meaning i.e. a woodsman stout and brave.
I'd think the nuances of that word suggest then a sense of self-possession and dignity and stalwartness. All of which are endangered traits.
Correct - the Old Swedish word is "stoller", meaning grand, beautiful, prominent (as in such a person). There's a related word, "stolle", which means "twerp" or "fool".
Högmod, as Kertch correctly notes, can be translated to haughtiness, though högmod is used in the swedish bible in any passage relating to "Pride goes before the fall": "Högmod går före fall". Högmod is however originally from Medieval German: hochmut.

I know who to come to for the etymology of words !
And now you've made me think of the Scots word for fornication which could plausibly be related to mounds...
Pride is a deadly sin but if one can’t accept a “religious” meaning, pride = hubris anyway. Interesting that the LGBTQ-supracalifragilistic-expialidocious deliberately chose “pride” as their handle.
Humbleness & humility go a whole lot further in accepting what we’re born into & what we make of our lot in life
I see no need for humbleness and humility.
Courtesy, decency and common sense do me just fine.
Of course you don’t because you never display either. But humility & humbleness are necessary for courtesy & decency.
The spirit of the Lord is strong in you, Cindi.
I guess the spirit of hubris is strong in you, SCA
