Ve skutečnosti, elektrokolo prostě chcete, protože nabízí daleko víc možností, než třeba moped...

For years, the Wagner private military company has done Moscow’s dirty work in eastern Ukraine, Libya, Syria and parts of Africa. The Kremlin always officially denied any relationship with Wagner, whose soldiers for hire have been accused of massacres and other human rights violations.

But now, Wagner and its mercenaries have suddenly emerged from the shadows in the Ukraine war, openly celebrated on Russian state media and lauded as heroes of President Vladimir Putin’s bloody invasion. A recent special report on the most-watched state TV channel trumpeted the group’s gains on the Ukrainian front lines — an unthinkable acknowledgment of Wagner even just a few months ago.

For example, it has been shown that Toxoplasma gondii can directly enhance brain serotoninergic and dopaminergic activity in its hosts through alterations in gene expression.

Berte to, prosím, jako varování pro naši dobu.

The Russian Menace to Europem and the Crimean War - by Marx and Engels 1853-5

In England the middle class was divided. The great bulk had transferred their national hatred from the French to the Russians, and although John Bull can do a little annexation business himself now and then in India, he has no idea of allowing other people to do the same in other neighbourhoods in an uncomfortable proximity to himself or his possessions.

Já fakt začíám podezírat Rusy, že jak měli toho Marxe za SSSR nabiflovanýho i pozpátku jakožto proroka, že začali číst z nudy nějaké tyhle jeho dřívější novinářské výplody a inspirovat se tím :-) Nebo fakt nevím, ale podle mě základ je, že my ve střední Evropě jsme to nikdy pořádně nepochopili...

Francis Fukuyama: Liberalism Needs the Nation
https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/ukraine/2022-04-01/francis-fukuyama-liberalism-country
Liberal societies struggle to present a positive vision of national identity to their citizens. The theory behind liberalism has great difficulties drawing clear boundaries around communities and explaining what is owed to people inside and outside those boundaries. This is because the theory is built on top of a claim of universalism.
