Fidel Castro: Why do some people have to go barefoot so that others can drive luxury cars? Why do some people have to be miserably poor in order that others can be extravagantly rich? I speak for all the children in the world who don't even have a piece of bread! wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.

Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.

tkp.at/2025/05/04/bluten-nicht… Nun ist es also offiziell: Der Westen hat die Ukraine nicht bewaffnet, um zu gewinnen, sondern um sie bluten zu lassen. In einem atemberaubenden Geständnis gegenüber der Times hat Ralph Goff, ehemaliger CIA-Chef für Europa und Eurasien, die Maske fallen lassen. In einem Interview mit The Times sagte der ehemalige CIA-Chef Ralph Goff, dass die Biden-Regierung bewusst Waffenlieferungen an die Ukraine bereitgestellt habe, damit diese „blutet“, aber nicht gewinnt. Laut Goff haben die westlichen Staats- und Regierungschefs bewusst eine Strategie gewählt, anstatt entschlossen zu handeln: Sie geben der Ukraine genug Waffen, um zu kämpfen, aber nicht genug, um zu gewinnen. Der Grund dafür ist die Angst vor einem möglichen Atomkrieg.

Bible: Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

New Jersey Democrats INDICTED AGAIN in Expanding Voter Fraud Case — Accused of Stealing and Forging Ballots and Voter Registrations to Rig 2020 Election
Turns out having a brand new release right before Bandcamp Friday is pretty pretty pretty good! I know that but it's been a while since my last release (Oct. '23, and that was a very unusual release) so the contrast was striking.
I did about $350 in sales, which is very good for me. (And apparently not bad for my niche -- that was good though to crack Bandcamp's top 40 best sellers for experimental electronic music!)

Xi Jinping: According to Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, communism will eradicate the opposition and differentiation between classes, between urban and rural areas, between mental labor and physical labor; it will adopt the principle of distribution from each according to his ability and to each according to his needs, so as to achieve shared development of society and the free and well-rounded development of individuals in the real sense. Of course, there will be a long trek through history to reach this goal. China is still in the primary stage of socialism and will long remain so. Therefore, we cannot do what is premature, but this does not mean we should do nothing in realizing shared prosperity step by step. Instead, we should start to do what is appropriate to the current conditions, accumulating small successes and moving towards prosperity for all. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule.

L’UE, c’est l’impuissance et l’appauvrissement #Frexit
par Laurent Herblay (son site)
« Faire l’Europe, c’est faire le poids » : c’était la promesse du PS en 1992. Encore une promesse qui n’a pas été tenue… C’est l’exact inverse que démontrent les dernières semaines, secouées par les initiatives brutales de Donald Trump. L’UE est ignorée dans les négociations sur l’Ukraine, et réagit de manière dérisoire aux conflits commerciaux. L’UE, c’est la paralysie et l’effondrement économique. L'UE, c'est l'impuissance et l'appauvrissement #Frexit
L’UE fait de nous les dindons de la farce
Bien sûr, ce n’est pas une surprise. Certains l’avaient compris dès l’Acte Unique ou Maastricht. Mais les dernières semaines éclairent d’une manière particulièrement brutale tous les vices de forme du machin européen, aux intérêts trop divergents pour aboutir à un plus petit dénominateur commun qui ait le moindre poids dans le cours des évènements. Pourtant, notre continent a été la première puissance économique de la planète. Aujourd’hui, nous ne sommes plus qu’un ensemble affaibli, qui n’a plus d’autre poids que celui de son marché, guère dynamique, à cent lieues de l’influence des USA ou de la Chine. Loin de nous avoir permis de faire le poids, l’UE nous affaiblit et réduit notre poids dans le monde. Et cela est particulièrement criant pour un pays comme le notre, qui avait un vrai poids dans la marche du monde, et qui est réduit aujourd’hui aux gesticulations grotesques et vulgaires de son Jupiter de pacotille.
D’abord, il y a la négociation sur la fin de la guerre en Ukraine. Elle est menée en Arabie Saoudite, avec les États-Unis comme maître de cérémonie abrupt et intéressé, sans que les pays européens soient invités à la discussion, une humiliation qui en dit long sur le poids réel de l’UE sur une guerre qui se passe pourtant en Europe. La guerre commerciale déclenchée par Donald Trump montre à nouveau à quel point l’UE ne pèse rien, ou presque. Alors que la Chine, qui vend trois fois plus à l’Oncle Sam que l’inverse, ose répondre aux droits de douane, l’UE se fait toute petite. Derrière les déclarations martiales de certains dirigeants Français, l’UE a suspendu ses mesures, alors que les USA en gardent certaines (droit de douane minimum de 10%, et même de 25% pour l’automobile, l’acier ou l’aluminium). Les mesures sur l’acier sont ridicules pour qui sait que les USA nous vendent des volumes absolument dérisoires…
Car même si le président états-unien a renoncé à des mesures plus fortes (les 20% de droits de douane pour toute l’UE), au bout du compte, le retrait de nos mesures de rétorsion aux droits de douane sur l’automobile ou aux 10% marque une nouvelle fois l’impuissance du machin européen. Les USA nous agressent et l’UE se laisse faire. Bien sûr, notre excédent commercial fait que nous n’avons pas intérêt à une escalade, mais ce qui est frappant, c’est que les pays réagissent en ordre dispersé, ne permettant pas un front commun. Et la remise en cause du dogme libre-échangiste provoque une erreur système des eurocrates qui répondent à Trump en lui proposant plus de libre-échange… Pourtant, il y avait des moyens de pression : suspendre les amendes sur les émissions de CO2 en 2025 pouvait soulager nos constructeurs automobiles (et affaiblir Tesla) ou agir sur les pratiques fiscales des multinationales US.
Mais l’UE comporte des parasites fiscaux, qui ne sont pas prêts à se fâcher avec les multinationales US, et l’Allemagne refuse tout conflit commercial qui risque de mettre à mal ses exportations. Résultat, l’UE laisse faire, et surtout, se laisse faire. Au contraire d’une Chine qui réagit, l’UE reste passive, faisant le minimum syndical pour donner le change à ses opinions publiques. Pire, elle propose plus de libre-échange aux USA, de nouveaux accords avec d’autres pays, et semble même accueillir de manière favorable une expansion des échanges avec la Chine, alors même que le déferlement de véhicules chinois pourrait approfondir la crise de notre secteur automobile. Notre industrie subit les règles pénalisantes de l’UE face à une concurrence internationale féroce, où l’Asie protège, elle, son industrie.
Pour qui en douterait encore, les dernières semaines viennent comme un démenti cinglant à la propagande européiste. L’UE ne nous est d’aucune aide. C’est un poids, lourd, à nos chevilles. L’UE nous affaiblit et nous appauvrit, quasiment dans toutes les circonstances. Nous l’avons vu en 2001, en 2008, de 2010 à 2014, en 2020. Il est temps d’en tirer la seule conclusion logique : en partir.
« Faire l'Europe, c'est faire le poids » : c'était la promesse du PS en 1992. Encore une promesse qui n'a pas été tenue… C'est l'exact inverse que démontrent les dernières semaines, secouées par les initiatives brutales de Donald Trump.
Il y a vingt ans, les français, suivis par les néerlandais, rejetaient par référendum « le traité établissant une constitution pour l’Europe ». Trois ans plus tard, bafouant ce vote, députés et sénateurs adoptaient au congrès de Versailles le traité de Lisbonne, un simple copié collé du texte rejeté trois ans auparavant. Pour justifier ce véritable coup d’état mené par l’UMP et une bonne partie du PS sous la conduite de Nicolas Sarkozy et de François Hollande, la parole de François Mitterrand était remise au goût du jour « La France est notre patrie, l’Europe est notre avenir » et l’Europe était glorifiée au nom de la paix, la paix sociale, économique, politique, diplomatique, militaire.
Les exemples ne manquent pas pour illustrer l’escroquerie européenne dans tous les domaines.
Les programmes sociaux sont à la baisse, la protection sociale est une cible, la régression domine là où les rapports de classes étaient parvenus à des conquêtes, comme celles réalisées par les Français au lendemain de la seconde guerre mondiale avec le Conseil National de la Résistance. Pour ne pas tout perdre, la bourgeoisie avait alors dû céder beaucoup… C’est tout cela qui aujourd’hui est largement entamé.
Le plus criant des exemples est mis en exergue par l’actualité et concerne sans aucun doute la politique militaire engagée au nom du conflit russo ukrainien. Sous l’égide de l’Union Européenne, ce sont des centaines de milliards qui abondent les budgets militaires, pour satisfaire Donald Trump qui appelle « l’Europe à s’armer pour compter sur elle-même ». En réalité ces budgets viennent enrichir les capitalistes et l’industrie d’armement qui font leur choux gras sur le dos de la misère, des destructions, des ravages, de la mort, et sont censés apporter un bol d’oxygène au capitalisme en crise.
En France Macron qui se voit en chef de guerre pousse toujours plus à la catastrophe qui si elle se produisait serait totale. Et en même temps qu’il pérore à loisirs, sa politique saccage l’école, la santé, les salaires, l’emploi ou encore les services publics avec une austérité sans précédent depuis les années Mitterrand, qui en 1983 ouvrait la voie à la libéralisation européenne contre la préservation de la Nation et de ses atouts.
Si il y a 20 ans des voix s’étaient élevées à « gauche » contre le traité constitutionnel, avec Fabius et Mélenchon notamment, et avaient contribué à la victoire du NON à plus de 54 %, aujourd’hui tout le monde est sagement rentré dans le rang. Les insoumis, comme le PS, les Verts et le PCF, capables d’être véhéments en paroles, ont voté les crédits de guerre au parlement français comme au parlement européen. Dés le départ les divagations sur le plan A suivi éventuellement d’un plan B donnaient le ton.
Tout cela depuis 20 ans s’accompagne d’une dégénérescence morale qui au nom du wokisme et de son bras armé, la « cancel culture », menace directement en France l’universalisme républicain et organise la fragmentation au nom d’un communautarisme étranger à notre histoire, nos traditions, nos valeurs.
Le woksime illustre bien le paradoxe que nous vivons. Majoritairement, très majoritairement, les Français sont opposés aux contraintes européennes comme à l’idéologie qui les sous-tend. Le wokisme ne doit par exemple préoccuper que quelques pourcents de la population, mais c’est cette minorité qui est influente dans les milieux politiques, ministériels, associatifs, syndicaux ou encore scolaires ou culturels. Pour tout être censé, un homme est un homme, une femme une femme, et leur rencontre peut donner naissance à un enfant. Mais pour la minorité élitaire, le genre doit s’imposer à la réalité biologique, et les docteurs Mengele ou Follamour sont appelés à la rescousse pour modifier le sexe à la demande, pendant que la PMA et GPA pour tous font du ventre de la femme une marchandise et du bébé un objet comme tout autre auquel on est censé « avoir droit » pourvu qu’on puisse payer.
Voilà le point de jonction entre tous qui sur le fond se retrouvent sur les mêmes valeurs, la même politique européenne, destructrice économiquement, politiquement, socialement, culturellement de la civilisation.
L’Union Européenne est le dénominateur commun des forces politiques dites de droite ou de gauche. Il y a 20 ans le peuple a dit NON et s’est ensuite vu confisquer sa victoire dans un déni de démocratie auquel les institutions européennes ont pris goût, décidant aujourd’hui qui est légitime ou pas dans son propre pays pour se présenter aux suffrages des électeurs. Cela s’appelle la dictature. Et là comme ailleurs la dictature ne peut avoir qu’un temps.
Le réveil des peuples risque bien d’être tumultueux, et le plus tôt sera le mieux...

Charu Majumdar: The slogan—"Kashmir is an inalienable part of India"—is given by the ruling class in the interest of plundering. No Marxist can support this slogan.

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.

Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.

Would you guys be interested if I start a Youtube/PeerTube Channel where I talk about Unix Topics related to Linux, BSD & Plan9 etc... and perhaps rants and rambles about stuff that I like and don't like about how the mainstream treats linux etc etc. (I have a lot to talk about and say) and perhaps devlog updates about a game I'm making (its open source obviously) I don't wanna look like a stupid influencer shill (nobody likes those) but basically I just want a platform where I can speak about what I like and passionate about thats too long to write here, and if a mod/admin is reading this please delete this if its unsuitable for this thread, sorry in advance.
I don't wanna copy them, I have other topics I think they are untouched and it would be nice to start a conversation about them. for example "why the normies complain about the proprietary apps they use but then whene you suggest something they just brush it off" ("I hate facebook messenger, its buggy as hell", "try signal then", "no.") thats one example of the stuff I will cover, basically very obscure topics, that nobody have covered yet

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

I'm unsure what is going wrong and not having any luck finding a command or file I can tail to figure out why it's having so many problems finishing. Last weekend I tried just installing mint to some unused space on a drive but that seemed to get stuck in the same place. This weekend I'm using the "install alongside windows" option in the installer with the same behavior.
This is being installed from a USB drive into an nvme SSD and I'm really lost s to why it would be like this after more than an hour. Any advice on how to figure out why it gets stuck is appreciated. Hoping to transfer some files over after this is done and then reevaluate if I want/need the windows partition.
I had issues with mints install a while back. Turns out that it was my flash drive failing during the install. I used a newer one with bigger capacity and it worked fine. Not sure if tried a different USB but it's worth a shot.
EDIT: based on your comments you probably have a different issue. But this might help someone else.

Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation.

Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.

Kim Il Sung: To become a communist mother and to become a socialist builder are inseparable. Idlers cannot become communist mothers. To become a communist mother, a woman should, first of all, participate with enthusiasm in socialist construction. Only by taking an active part in socialist construction can she keep abreast of ever-developing realities and quickly acquire communist ideology. In our country today there are more than a thousand women university graduates who do not work but just idle away their time at home. University graduates are virtually under a legal obligation to work for more than five years. The state did not give them a university education for the purpose of having them look after children and cook meals at home. Since women university graduates do not take jobs, cadre-training institutions have even hesitated to admit women students. It goes without saying that women should be given an education. Among women there should be many with master of science degrees and with doctorates. But no woman has yet received a doctorate. This is a matter of regret. Greater numbers of fine women cadres should be trained in all the political, economic and cultural fields. Many of our women think that giving birth to children and keeping house is more useful than going out into the world and doing important jobs. They always tease those who get married late and gossip about those whose marriage is delayed because of studies. The Women’s Union should carry out a powerful ideological struggle against these negative attitudes. We do not mean that we are opposed to women getting married and having children. This is a natural and good thing. What is bad is the false notion women have that learning and everything else they do are for the purpose of getting married and giving birth to children. Women can and should become masters of science or receive doctorates by continuing their studies, even after they are married and have children. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

@FemaleIsNotAFeelingWell…I didn’t realize I was getting a secondary infection (exposure to fucking toddlers 3 days earlier) so I actually did a 100 mile ride April 16 because I thought I was getting better and the weather was good. And you know when you do that you are sustained by endorphins and used to “pushing through” discomfort. The moment I got home the sore throat took over and I woke up with pinkeye and nosebleeds and no appetite so I couldn’t make up my calorie deficit as I usually do the day after. So that was pretty fucked up and well yeah.
Che Guevara: We, practical revolutionaries, initiating our own struggle, simply fulfill laws foreseen by Marx, the scientist. We are simply adjusting ourselves to the predictions of the scientific Marx as we travel this road of rebellion struggling against the old structure of power, supporting ourselves in the people for the destruction of this structure, and having the happiness of this people as the basis of our struggle. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

In Deutschland betreffen die Gefängnisstrafen fürs Fahren ohne Ticket jährlich schätzungsweise 10.000 Menschen. Wissenschaftliche Studien gehen davon aus, dass die Strafverfolgung von ihnen jährlich 120 Millionen [1] Euro Steuergeld kostet.
Heute war ich auf einem Lieblingsweg spazieren. Es wachsen dort verschiedenste Moose, Farn, umgestürzte Bäume liegen quer. Verrottendes Holz zieht Käfer an, es gibt immer etwas Neues zu entdecken. Nach starkem Regen kann man sehen, wo sich das Wasser einen Weg gebahnt hat und es werden Sandsteine freigewaschen. Im oberen Teil ist dann auch altes Sandstein-Pflaster besser als sonst sichtbar. Warum dieser Weg dort einmal befestigt wurde oder ob das Teil einer alten Straße war, da kann ich nur spekulieren.
Nach dem Regen war der Boden wunderbar weich und man konnte den Pflanzen ansehen, wie sehr die Natur aufatmet. Etliche Schnecken kreuzten meinen Weg, eine davon war sogar eine tollkühne und leichtfüßige Artistin. Ein Reh bellte und auch die Vögel trällerten sich noch eins. Der Wald roch frisch und erdig.
Leider konnte ich keine Beine-baumel-Pause einlegen, die Bänke waren alle zu nass. Bei den nur gut 6 km war das aber auch nicht wirklich nötig. Dafür konnte ich noch von den frisch gewaschenen Fichtentrieben und Buchenblättern naschen 😋. Schon bald schmeckt das nicht mehr.
