Weil es mich gerade so irritiert: Gilt die Unschuldsvermutung trotz Selbstanzeige?
Edit: Mir geht es nicht um den strafrechtlichen Aspekt, sondern Presserecht. Also wenn sich eine Person selbst angezeigt hat, darf dann trotzdem nicht gesagt werden, dass die Person gemacht hat, was sie behauptet gemacht zu haben?
Sie darf nicht als verurteilt bezeichnet werden, weil sie das nicht wurde. Das ist klar.

As I listen to the Revolutions podcast mini series on 1848, it's hard not to fixate in the ways in which the Liberal obsession with nationalism and national borders planted the seed for the genocides that followed. Liberals are still confused by why genocide is a persistent problem, as though liberalism itself should have fixed it. "We must establish more liberal institutions," they believe, "like the ICC, so that we can hold people accountable."
But genocide is simply a property of nations and borders. Nations have always be arbitrarily drawn and diverse groups of people have always lived together. I grew up with the balkanization of post-soviet Russia and post colonial Wars in Africa. Conservatives (that is, classical Liberals) would talk about how these people were simply uncivilized or somehow genetically predisposed to conflict. But the Bosnian and Rwandan genocides were similar to the Liberal violence implicit in nationalism from the beginning. The Bosnian Genocide was quite specifically a product of the Liberal nationalism of 1848.
There are still people in the world whose culture is defined by migration. These cultures do not recognize the legitimacy of borders because borders make their culture impossible. The very existence of these lines, and their necessary enforcement, is genocidal to pastoralists and other migratory people.
You literally cannot have borders and not be committing genocide. Concepts of national identity just add to the genocidal push, targeting ethnic minorities. Ethnicities defined by not having a nation of their own, such as Roma and non-zionist Jews, are, like pastoralists, permanently threatened by these imaginary lines.
And now, people look at the genocide ICE is carrying out, at the terror and murder, and they blame Trump. But Trump is simply the avatar of forces far beyond his comprehension.
Every liberal needs to look at their beliefs and realize that these murderous policies are implicit in the very concept of a nation.

How about this: they’re commiting genocide together as we speak.
How about we nitpick the minutiae once we’ve stopped that? @… https://mastodon.social/@threetails/11

Next time someone tells you they support Israel, ask them “What the fuck is wrong with you? What kind of monster supports genocide?”
