"Ich weiß, dass es nicht gesehen wird. Wir haben gesehen, dass es einen neuen Krieg gegeben hat. Aber das ist ein Grund eben weiter daran zu glauben. Denn was bleibt, wenn wir nicht daran glauben, dass ein Fortschritt möglich ist? Was bleibt?"

Erich Maria Remarque, 1962

My attempt to explain the quote ID ->

Basically he said, he would never stop writing though his messages had been ignored all the years. You have to continue your work no matter what and don't stop believing. What's left, if you lost all hope?

#okay ... I am out for today #I just watched an old interview with the german author Remarque and those last lines hit me hard #so beautiful... touching and true #you always have to believe... #Q__Q #erich maria remarque #all quite on the western front #im westen nichts neues #german stuff #german literature #literature #... why is hun' still on a business trip... why... qq #okay... I am sorry... he gave up the german citizenship #he was stateless for a while and from 1947 until his death 1970 he had the citizenship of the usa #though he spent his last years in switzerland #german novelist

One of my biggest pet peeves is the fact that the term "first/third world" seems to have completely lost its original meaning. "The US are actually a third world country" I assure you that if there's a country on this planet that cannot be a third world country it's the US

#once saw someone complaining that switzerland wasnt in a map of first world countries #but... by definition ... it isn't one? #personal #(in case someone doesn't know: #first world - western bloc #second world - soviet bloc #third world - unaligned countries

"Swiss chocolate is known worldwide despite Switzerland growing almost no cacao" is a pretty succinct summary of how the western economic model is fundamentally incapable of functioning with the development of high-value-added production in the global south

The United States Congress created Endangered Species Day in 2006 with the adoption of Senate Resolution 431. The resolution encouraged "the people of the United States to become educated about, and aware of, threats to species, success stories in species recovery, and the opportunity to promote species conservation worldwide." It also encouraged schools to spend at least 30 minutes teaching students about the day; encouraged groups such as businesses, organizations, private landowners and agencies to collaborate on educational information for the schools; and encouraged people of the United States "to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities." In short, the day is for learning why it's important to protect endangered species, for learning how to take part in protection efforts, and for celebrating species that have recovered as a result of these efforts.

Each year, events are held on the day and throughout the month in places such as zoos, parks, aquariums, museums, wildlife refuges, schools, and botanical gardens. There are often speakers, tours, exhibits, and children's activities. Every year, there is also a National Endangered Species Day Youth Art Contest, where students in grades K-12 learn about endangered or threatened wildlife and support conservation with their art.

Conservation efforts have helped with the recovery of many species, such as the gray wolf, gray whale, grizzly bear, whooping crane, Kirtland's warbler, and peregrine falcon. Some animals, such as the gray wolf, bald eagle, and American alligator have recovered in large part because of the U.S. Endangered Species Act of 1973. In general, species are saved by the combination of research, coordination, intensive management of conservation efforts, increased public awareness, and education. Human awareness is important because many of the main drivers of extinction of species are caused by humans. Some of the leading causes of extinction are overhunting, overfishing, global warming, pollution, habitat fragmentation, and invasive species.

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species does the most comprehensive worldwide accounting of threatened species, by listing plants, animals, fungi, and algae. Species can be listed between "near threatened" and "extinct," with "endangered" being in the middle. Over 27,000 plants and animals are listed as threatened with extinction, appearing somewhere on the scale. In the United States, the Endangered Species Act determines how threatened species are classified, and species are usually assessed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. About 700 animal species and 900 plant species are threatened or endangered in the country. Because of the many threats that species face, it is fitting there is an Endangered Species Day.

How to Observe Endangered Species Day

Today should be centered around learning about threats to species, becoming educated on how you can help to protect species and then working to help them, and celebrating species that have been recovered. There are many ways these things can be done, as well as other ways the day can be celebrated!

Learn about endangered species at the websites of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Learn about some of the issues that species face that cause them to become endangered, such as overhunting, overfishing, global warming, pollution, habitat fragmentation, and invasive species.

Find an event to attend. Many often take place at zoos, parks, aquariums, museums, wildlife refuges, schools, and botanical gardens. Check in your community or online for events.

Host an event. Use the online toolkit to help you with your planning.

Donate to groups that support conservation efforts, such as the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the World Wildlife Fund, the Defenders of Wildlife, and the National Wildlife Federation.

Learn about some endangered species that have recovered.

If you are a teacher, implement information about endangered species into your lessons today. If you are a young person, participate in the National Endangered Species Day Youth Art Contest (the deadline to enter precedes the day). If you are a college student, read some online suggestions on how to celebrate the day.

Watch an environmental film, a documentary about endangered animals, or a film about endangered species from the Video Project.

Read a book about endangered species.

Do you think your race/nationality may influence on the consequences of hacking? Or like how far you can even get?

I'm asking because I very rarely see a "prominent" hackitvist that's not white European/USA

it is definitely a factor yes, especially with me, like the only reason im free rn is because switzerland doesn't extradite citizens. but another very big part of it is that to become a widely prominent hacktivist (and as with many other things) you either need to do things western media cares about or get in trouble with the law big time (in the west), which also usually implies being in a country that actively works together with primarily the US or other empires that actively and publicly work against hacking and hacktivists. there are lots of hacktivists in asia and latin america (specifically phineas fisher here also being a popular figure, who is believed to be in latam and has yet to be caught) as well especially (also elsewhere ofc but i dont know of as many), but they are either doing hacktivism within their communities which are usually not internationally that news worthy, or are out of reach enough for the US empire to never get unmasked.

in a lot of ways being a popular hacktivist as an individual is actually moreso a failing in staying safe from consequences by either you or people you work with (see in the history of lulzsec and most of the now well known anonymous figures in the US) or a conscious choice done out of the knowledge that you'll be relatively safe/recklessness. but i definitely feel like international (social) media bias towards western interests is also just a very big part of why you will mostly only ever hear of (assumed) white european/american hacktivists.

and also just as a quick closing note, i would not say that (even white) people in the US or the US sphere of influence are safe from consequences due to hacking in any way, the US is one of the strictest countries when it comes to persecuting hackers and goes to long ways to be as cruel as possible, and especially so with hacktivists. this goes so far that in the 2020 counterintel report the US government put hacktivists/leaktivists on the top 5 biggest threats to the US government, which is ofc both a honor (and shows it works and scares them) but is ofc also scary as fuck. it is this big spectacle they make out of persecuting hackers and making examples out of them that also leads to more of the very distorted prominence of western hackers.

#not the most well phrased im not super focused rn #but i hope this gives a bit of a perspective
