🤦Grundgütiger. 🙄
Internet ist Neuland.
Ende 2023 und für #Politiker ist das immer noch so. <seufz>
Wieso lassen die sich nicht einfach von Fachleuten beraten?
Und falls sie sich beraten lassen, wieso sind die so unglaublich beratungsresistent?
I quite like this comic of everybody on the train getting pissed off about someone else’s “bad manners” while doing something themselves. Tokyo subway is basically everyone silently judging everyone else. That said taking photos inside a train is itself bad form…
Als Übersetzer von Kohei Saitos "Systemsturz" freut es mich, dass das Buch so gut ankommt. Was mich aber weniger freut ist, dass ich schon den halben Tag damit verbringe verschiedene Zeitungsredaktionen zu informieren, dass die abgebildeten 2 Bücher NICHT das selbe Werk sind. 1/
Wie konnte ein marxistisches Buch wie Kohei Saitos „Systemsturz“ denn gerade im konservativen Japan ein Bestseller werden? Dafür habe ich in japanischen Medien gestöbert, ebenso gibt’s meine Expertise als Japanologe und Übersetzer des Buches.

In 1998, archaeologists uncovered an ancient Korean tomb containing the mummified body of a 30-year-old man named Eung-Tae Lee. On his chest was a love letter from his pregnant wife to the father of her unborn child. The translation of the letter is as follows:
"To Won's Father
June 1, 1586
You always said, 'Dear, let's live together until our hair turns gray and die on the same day!' How could you pass away without me? Who should I and our little boy listen to and how should we live? How could you go ahead of me?
How did you bring your heart to me, and how did I bring my heart to you? Whenever we lay down together, you always told me, 'Dear, do other people cherish and love each other like we do? Are they really like us?' How could you leave all that behind and go ahead of me?
I just cannot live without you. I just want to go to you. Please take me to where you are. My feelings toward you I cannot forget in this world, and my sorrow knows no limit. Where would I put my heart in now, and how can I live with the child missing you?
Please look at this letter and tell me in detail in my dreams. Because I want to listen to your saying in detail in my dreams, I write this letter and put it in. Look closely and talk to me.
When I give birth to the child in me, who should it call father? Can anyone fathom how I feel? There is no tragedy like this under the sky.
You are just in another place, and not in such deep grief as I am. There is no limit and end to my sorrows that I write roughly. Please look closely at this letter and come to me in my dreams and show yourself in detail and tell me. I believe I can see you in my dreams.
Come to me secretly and show yourself. There is no limit to what I want to say, and I stop here."
