@chrichri yay! I usually capture the interesting area using gnome-screenshot in the preview 😃 before pasting into e.g. matrix.

@chrichri

Looks like a memorial to the victims of Communism, or some rocker's amp.

@amerika

"memorial for victims" of something - understandable.

But how did you end up with "communism" in this case? Anything in the relief that reminded you of this specific interpretation?

@chrichri

The heap of skulls. Every Communist society has one.

@amerika

I thought that societies without their own heap of skulls are an exception and that we all needed to learn from the heap next to us.

E.g. in Germany we've got a historical big heap of skulls to learn from.

I guess that most people can tell a tale about the in theirs society history.

How about your society? No ?

Do you know which I reference in German history?

@chrichri

Does Germany have a heap of skulls as large as the one from Communism?

No big fan of the world wars here, or Charlemagne, but you take my point I think.

All societies have wars, but Communist societies excel in killing their own people.

@amerika

Let's say that the German is big enough to be uncountable for me.

Further more I'd rather not compare killings in numbers. Each violent death is one too much.

Thinking that these sad happenings and the leftover couldn't happen, because we're not part of the xyz-system seems dangerous to me.

We are part of the species that organized these killings and we need to watch our doings and our thoughts.

@chrichri

I disagree with this method-based approach. We need to get sane. There are always going to be wars and horrors, but if the events turn out better, this is not a bad thing.

WW2 for example was entirely unnecessary since Hitler's system was going to collapse anyway from being a top-heavy bureaucracy like the Soviety Union, and his people would have murdered him then.

Germany is a lovely place and I imagine its heap of skulls is actually less than that in most of the world.

If I wouldn't know better, I'd have thought that it would have been taken in México.

Esto es a que me recordé viendo este relieve…
