Chinas Xi Jinping will laut dem deutschen Kanzler Olaf Scholz eine Ukraine-Friedenskonferenz unterstützen. Chinaexperte Bütikofer warnt vor einer „Verzwergung“. ( taz.de )

"China und Deutschland wollen Bemühungen um Frieden in der Ukraine unterstützen und ermutigen“, sagte Scholz laut Reuters am Dienstag nach einem mehr als dreistündigen Treffen mit Präsident Xi Jinping und einem anschließenden Gespräch mit Ministerpräsident Li Qiang....

OKRainbowKid ,

"China verfolgt [...] eine hegemoniale Strategie." ist für dich keine Kritik an China? Für mich ist "hegemonial" eindeutig negativ konnotiert.

OKRainbowKid ,

Nun war Scholz aber in China, und deswegen geht's in diesem Post eben auch um China. Das China sich als Hegemonialmacht etablieren möchte und mehr und mehr auf Konfrontation mit seinen Nachbarn geht, ist schwer zu leugnen.

Doing a thorough job risks the sensational headlines though.

Hyperbole much?

OKRainbowKid ,

That can go both ways through. To some people, criticizing Hamas or saying that their attack warranted a reaction (which doesn't mean I'm condoning what's happening now in any way) means you're actively calling for genocide.

Nuance is hard, people tend to prefer simple categorization into black and white, good and evil. The statement "Germany is going full fascist" is a perfect example of this.

OKRainbowKid ,

Let me prefix this with saying that I'm sympathetic towards Varoufakis. I've been following him somewhat since his time at Valve.

He claims he is now subject to a "Betätigungsverbot" which is very different from being "banned from the country".
I tried to find any sort of official confirmation that he actually has "Betätigungsverbot" but I couldn't, feel free to post a link if you can find it.
I personally believe that what he wrote in this post doesn't even come close to warranting a Betätigungsverbot - however, even assuming the Verbot is actually in place, claiming this means "Germany is going full fascism" is dishonest, exaggerated, and void of any nuance, which is my original point.

Reading the first sentence of the definition of fascism on Wikipedia should show you how ridiculous that statement is. Words have a meaning, and throwing around the word "fascism" for any measure you (potentially rightfully) don't agree with just hurts your credibility and devalues the meaning of the word when it's actually appropriate.

I'm fine with you attributing actions like this to historically motivated, misguided sense of "loyalty" (or however you want to call it) to Israel, or the Israeli government. Just keep the word fascist for actual fascists please.

Nuance exists, the world isn't just black and white.
