  • Also did biology with evolutionary biology upper division coursework. Part of the reason astrobiology seeks for signs of water is that water is the known common factor of earthbound life.

    The portion I remember about extremeophiles also looked at the perched lakes under antarctica. As I remember there IS a degree of mineralization that takes place in those lakes as stromatalite formations by proteobacteria.

    Essentially if there’s water and any kind of radiation around minerals then the building blocks for life start to appear.

    Water+mineral+radiation = Life, maybe? (Maybe divided by time/luck?)





  • Ebert would’ve preferred a return to monarchy. His version of democracy and the party was the one that existed within the Prussian Kingdom and the German Empire.

    While the Freikorps were the proto-nazis, in Ebert’s time they were still mostly just monarchists and military aristocracy who opposed the republic. They all hated the Nazis for being peasants, but agreed with their policies nonetheless.



  • This is usually how users that use the ‘tankie’ as a pejorative out themselves as anti-leftist or just plain uninformed. There’s already a term for those who support that kind of fascistic rhetoric: Nazbols.

    Either they don’t know the term, or they do and choose not to. The former owns up quick, the latter digs in and keeps on a grudge about it.

    No surprises here.









  • Consider the context that World War 1’s conclusion left multiple imperial monarchies in ashes. The kind of government in question is one that is directly being sanctioned by aristocratic monarchy. The bourgeioise were and were working with kings and noble families as a matter of status quo, who had just spent years sending entire townships to the meatgrinder.


  • Yes, but at a time when social democratic parties in europe hadn’t quite formally formed or split into discernable socialist factions. The Social Democrats in Germany were in active coalition with monarchist anti-republic paramilitaries and had inherited the government from the abdicating kaiser. The KPD didn’t exist yet, and this was technically an internal critique of the Social Democratic Party of which she was a member.

    At the same time, the Social Democrats in Russia included Lenin.

    At any rate it isn’t worth giving the freikorps a pass by omission when unearthing conflicts about the SPD.
