17:20 activelow; latest: "Putin rejects Euro and USD; insisting Oil/Gas/Energy to be paid with Rubles."

17:21 activelow; Brexit, Rexit, ...

17:22 activelow; reminder, my calculations revealed Euro inflation of ~8% for energy/rents/food for 30years since 1990, compound-interest

17:23 activelow; i was blassed with two "currency reforms" (expropriations) since 1990, the inflation data indicates the third expropriation; yet i doubt another such reform would benefit me

17:24 activelow; if at all, such will cause civil unrest and chaos i fear

17:25 activelow; btw. i noticed the grocery store sortiment changed slightly, some puddings are in stock again in Germany since the Ukraine crisis, which disappeared some years ago

17:26 activelow; noodles, bread, meat prices increased alot since the Ukraine crisis, although it's still affordable

17:27 activelow; a year ago or two a 500grams noodles were sold for 49cents, now it is 69cents

17:28 activelow; anyway, the energy price explosion is excessive, paid in Euros; although i lowered already marginal consumption by another 20%

17:29 activelow; they ask for another 57Euros for year 2021; i mean average room temperature is ~16degC, hot water is 14cubic meters per year

17:29 activelow; for this i pay almost 900Euros per year

17:29 activelow; Euros, not Rubles

17:29 activelow; and it isn't neither Ukraine nor Russia at fault

17:30 activelow; almost 10% inflation with Energy prices

17:31 activelow; i think, even if Russia/Putin wanted to accept it, they couldn't anymore, to see their Euro savings are de-valued 20% in the last 2 years only, for nothing in return except insults and sanctions

17:31 activelow; by the glorious EU

17:34 activelow; supplying Ukraine with weapons didn't neither "support Ukraine" nor did this "de-escalate"

17:34 activelow; anyway, i have another suspicion, which is the conflict was ignited as a "de-population" strategy, along the agenda of "climate change"

17:35 activelow; there was some rumors and interviews slightly above noise-floor when this began

17:36 activelow; in any case, again it is a coordinated media campaign (in parallel to the violence), to distract, divert, and profiteer

17:36 activelow; to comprehend what's happening, German internal politics, and the next federal elections with exploding energy prices

17:37 activelow; in recent days i received the annual electricity bill (refund of 150Euros), and the heating/hot-water bill (deficit of 57Euros to pay although i lowered consumption by 20%)

17:38 activelow; guess what, a typical consumer in germany, who consumes ~10x the amount and more of energy in comparison to my consumption

17:39 activelow; this type of "democratic value" is debated now ahead of the next federal elections in Saarland and Nordrhein-Westphalen

17:39 activelow; NRW is the most densily populated area with most voters in Germany; with Gazprom Sponsor involved there in soccer clubs... who terminated their sponsorship

17:40 activelow; it is both Ukraine _and_ Russia who were cheated by Germany and EU, and if Germany/EU wanted there had been any Ukraine crisis to begin with

17:46 activelow; given the cynical comments with the elections ahead, consider the Ukraine crisis an election battle

17:48 activelow; btw. AfD was the only political party which didn't escalate and insisted on sanctions eased

17:48 activelow; AfD has the strongest voter-base, by coincidence, where Putin resided as a young officer, in Saxony/Dresden

17:52 activelow; in west-germany however, Gazprom sponsor logo was removed from the soccer-club shirts

17:52 activelow; nonetheless, _both_ the Ukraine (Burisma-Biddler) pipeline and the Russian Northstream pipeline continued deliveries as usual

17:53 activelow; however, now Putin insists on supplies be paid with Rubles, _not_ Euro, _not_ USD

17:53 schestowitz-TR; maybe gazprom is the new swastika

17:53 schestowitz-TR; i know MinceR might agree

17:53 schestowitz-TR; [17:29] <activelow> for this i pay almost 900Euros per year

17:54 schestowitz-TR; farrrrrr too much for a single person

17:54 schestowitz-TR; we pay the same for about 2 people

17:54 schestowitz-TR; and have 8 PCs running all the time

17:54 MinceR; "Z" is the new swastika

17:54 schestowitz-TR; technically, if you have two Zs

17:55 activelow; yes, and it is mostly "basic fee", which is calculated per square-meter (of a rotten over-priced appartement), which is why even if i lower consumption that doesn't affect the "value" of the Euro paid

17:55 schestowitz-TR; you could make a swastika like the peace symbol

17:55 schestowitz-TR; assuming kerning/curves

17:55 schestowitz-TR; in the glyphs

17:55 schestowitz-TR; Nazi Germany: we need living space

17:56 schestowitz-TR; Putin's Russia: we are the largest nation of earth, only 150 million peolple, but we need more land

17:56 schestowitz-TR; if china made such an argument, I could say, "well..."

17:56 schestowitz-TR; India isn't historically aggressive

17:56 schestowitz-TR; (that I know of)

17:57 schestowitz-TR; also, Germany was invading countries when the economy was in the sewer

17:57 schestowitz-TR; hyper-inflation after the Versailles Treaty

17:57 schestowitz-TR; Russia's economy wasn't killing people, or barely

17:58 schestowitz-TR; not even with COVID-19

17:58 schestowitz-TR; in that respect, what Putler is doing is arguably worse and less justified than Hitler

17:58 schestowitz-TR; though it remains to be seen how far the invasion will go

17:58 schestowitz-TR; Moldova or Poland might be next

17:59 activelow; few minutes ago Burisma-Biddler said "chemical weapons are a real threat", and departed to visit Europe today

6 PM, March 23

18:00 schestowitz-TR; Who is Biddler?

18:00 schestowitz-TR; it rhymes with Hossler

18:00 schestowitz-TR; *Hissler

18:00 activelow; Biddler Joe

18:00 schestowitz-TR; meh

18:00 schestowitz-TR; you compare Biden to Hitler?

18:01 schestowitz-TR; Seriously??

18:02 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)

18:06 schestowitz-TR; I dislike Biden

18:06 schestowitz-TR; but to compare him to Hitler for antagonising Hitler is... laughable

18:12 activelow; schestowitz-TR> in that respect, what Putler is doing is arguably worse and less justified than Hitler

18:13 schestowitz-TR; did Biden invade and bomb Ukraine?

18:13 activelow; schestowitz-TR: Burisma-Biddler, and "provide lethal aid to ukraine" was the idea of US military RAND Corp.

18:13 schestowitz-TR; no

18:13 schestowitz-TR; ukraine was invaded

18:13 schestowitz-TR; crimea for example

18:13 schestowitz-TR; ukraine has a history with USSR

18:14 schestowitz-TR; like famine

18:14 schestowitz-TR; and other bad stuff

18:14 activelow; the population which lived there already existed, it was the crimea fleet which was secured, which didn't belong into the hands of NATO/USA/Biddler

18:15 activelow; even if anyone sided with the Comedian from Kiev, even then the fact remains it was USA influence peddling which escalated the situation, together with the criminal Biddler-Minions of EU

18:16 schestowitz-TR; you got the facts all wrong

18:16 schestowitz-TR; but you are entitled to have that opinion

18:16 schestowitz-TR; and to have it challenged, too

18:17 activelow; it's a fact, not an opinion

18:21 activelow; anyway, another historical fact is, the regions where the Wehrmacht intervened was already populated by Germans, for hundreds of years (Katherine the great and earlier)

18:21 schestowitz-TR; which part is fact?

18:22 activelow; and it was the preceeding "red terror", expropriations of farmers, often germans, with excess fatalities

18:23 activelow; furthermore the Nazi propaganda didn't attack Russians or Polish or Ukrainians, the Nazi propaganda attacked "Bolshevism"(red terror)

18:26 activelow; schestowitz-TR: you see, "social democrats", ask them who Noske was, to order paramilitary troops to shoot at the population, a social "democrat" (democrat == bolshevik)

18:27 activelow; and the same type of "democracy" is on the rise again since 1990 in germany, among all so-called "democratic" political parties

18:27 activelow; which are all controlled by "atlantic bridge" washington anyway

18:30 activelow; anyway, most of the current reporting in Germany is Ilya Ehrenburg style war and hate propaganda

18:30 schestowitz-TR; this is revisionism and distortion of history

18:30 activelow; schestowitz-TR: it isn't; it is historical facts.

18:30 activelow; anyway, recent videos, which i wouldn't know if this was some mediocre Uwe Boll movies

18:30 schestowitz-TR; no, not really

18:31 schestowitz-TR; not sure what sites you read

18:31 schestowitz-TR; or what encyclopedia

18:31 activelow; since, i simply do not believe russian military or Putin would order their troops to shoot civilians, i do not believe this

18:31 schestowitz-TR; you need to go back to ww1

18:31 schestowitz-TR; and then the revolution in russia

18:31 schestowitz-TR; for context

18:32 schestowitz-TR; activelow: haha, you know nothing about the red army then

18:32 schestowitz-TR; they're not notorious jyst because of propaganda

18:32 schestowitz-TR; women in europe killed themselves for fear of being raped

18:33 activelow; citing Ilya Ehrenburg again?

19:47 schestowitz; "The army ordered them to commit suicide, said Yoshikazu Miyazato, 58, who plans to publish testimony from survivors on Zamami, where he says suicides accounted for 180 of the 404 civilians -- about half of the islets population -- who died."
