Marek Pavliš 🇨🇿 🇪🇺<p>Amerika prochází systémovou změnou. Historické zkušenosti nás učí, že systémové změny jsou klíčové. Absolutně.</p><p>Proměna dobře ukazuje, jak mocná je síla <a href="https://mastodonczech.cz/tags/komunikace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>komunikace</span></a>, slov a propagandy. Jízdní řád je silně ovlivněn narativy, které do infomačního pole nezasela <a href="https://mastodonczech.cz/tags/Amerika" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amerika</span></a>.

Google my name. I now know what I need to do,' he said.</p><p>"The researchers looked up Brendan and discovered he had been the leader of a US Midwest faction of Identity <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Evropa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Evropa</span></a>, a notorious white nationalist group rebranded in 2019 as the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanIdentityMovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmericanIdentityMovement</span></a>.</p><p>"Brendan had led the white nationalist group up until two months earlier, when activists exposed his identity and he lost his job.</p><p>"Researching Brendan further, the scientists also discovered he had attended the deadly '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UniteTheRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniteTheRight</span></a>' rally in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Charlottesville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Charlottesville</span></a>, Va., in 2017.</p><p>"They later reached out to Brendan asking him to clarify what he meant by his comments at the bottom of the survey.</p><p>"'Love is the most important thing,' he told them. 'Nothing matters without love.'</p><p>"'This is stuff you can’t really put into words, but it was so profound,' Brendan said of his experience with the drug.</p><p>"Brendan took MDMA in February 2020 as part of a University of Chicago study. </p><p>"'I conceived of my relationships with other people not as distinct boundaries with distinct entities, but more as we-are-all-one. I realised I’d been fixated on stuff that doesn’t really matter, and is just so messed up, and that I’d been totally missing the point. I hadn’t been soaking up the joy that life has to offer.</p><p>"'There are moments when I have <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racist</span></a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antisemitic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antisemitic</span></a> thoughts, definitely,' he said. 'But now I can recognise that those kinds of thought patterns are harming me more than anyone else.'</p><p>"Brendan said he had leaned left while growing up but became more right after joining a conservative fraternity at the University of Illinois.</p><p>"He described feeling encouraged by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DonaldTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DonaldTrump</span></a>, noting, 'His speech talking about Mexicans being rapists, the fixation on the border wall and deporting everyone, the Muslim ban – I didn’t really get white nationalism until Trump started running for president.'</p><p>"He said he joined Identity Evropa to meet others who shared his views and quickly rose in the ranks, eventually traveling around the US and Europe to huddle with other white nationalist groups. He likely would have continued along this path had his identity not been exposed, Nuwer noted in her article.</p><p>"Harriet de Wit, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral science at the University of Chicago who led the experiment, was still astonished by its results nearly two years later when speaking with Nuwer for her book.</p><p>"'Isn’t that amazing?' de Wit said. 'It’s what everyone says about this damn drug, that it makes people feel love. To think that a drug could change somebody’s beliefs and thoughts without any expectations – it’s mind-boggling.'</p><p>"The use of MDMA and other <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/psychedelics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychedelics</span></a> have gained traction in the medical community as they have shown positive results for treating some disorders such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PTSD</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/alcoholism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alcoholism</span></a>.</p><p>"Brendan told Nuwer that the drug helped him 'see things in a different way that no amount of therapy or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antiracist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antiracist</span></a> literature ever would have done.'</p><p>"'I really think it was a breakthrough experience,' he said.</p><p>"Still, he said he knew of other white supremacists who had previously used MDMA but had not changed their minds.</p><p>"According to Nuwer, MDMA 'does not seem to be able to magically rid people of prejudice, bigotry, or hate on its own.</p><p>"'But some researchers have begun to wonder if it could be an effective tool for pushing people who are already somehow primed to reconsider their ideology toward a new way of seeing things,' the researcher wrote.</p><p>"'While MDMA cannot fix societal-level drivers of prejudice and disconnection, on an individual basis it can make a difference. In certain cases, the drug may even be able to help people see through the fog of discrimination and fear that divides so many of us.'"</p><p><a href="https://nypost.com/2023/06/18/white-supremacist-renounces-beliefs-after-taking-ecstasy-as-part-of-study/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nypost.com/2023/06/18/white-su</span><span class="invisible">premacist-renounces-beliefs-after-taking-ecstasy-as-part-of-study/</span></a></p>
mistnipobocka<p>„Obrovský úspěch“ zeleného přechodu v Německu</p><p>Německo v minulém roce odstavilo své poslední jaderné elektrárny, které ještě na začátku století produkovaly okolo 156 TWh elektřiny za rok, a tedy okolo 30 % německé produkce. Hlavně bavorský průmysl tak přišel o dominantní část svých stabilních zdrojů elektřiny. Právě tam bylo umístěno několik velkých moderních jaderných reaktorů. Připomeňme, že intenzivní rozvoj jaderné energetiky začal v Německu v době ropných krizí v sedmdesátých letech. Pokud by intenzivní kampaň zelených protijaderných aktivistů rozvoj jaderné energetiky v Německu nezarazila, mohlo mít Německo podobně jako Francie už dávno nízkoemisní energetický mix.</p><p><a href="https://www.osel.cz/13823-nemecko-v-tomto-roce-vidi-dopady-sve-energiewende.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">osel.cz/13823-nemecko-v-tomto-</span><span class="invisible">roce-vidi-dopady-sve-energiewende.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://f.cz/tags/energetika" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>energetika</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/ekologie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ekologie</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/n%C4%9Bmecko" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>německo</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/%C4%8Desko" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>česko</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/%C4%8Dr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>čr</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/spolecnost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spolecnost</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/francie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>francie</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/atom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atom</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solar</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solarpunk</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EU</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/Evropa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Evropa</span></a> <a href="https://f.cz/tags/greendeal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greendeal</span></a></p>
