  • Nazis are completely incoherent. He thinks Jews are scheming deceivers who are part of a vast and powerful conspiracy controlling, among other things, the courts. But he also doesn't want to have a Jewish lawyer. It makes no sense.

  • Cuba is a civilised country, unlike the Burger Reich

  • We all know it is not these issues they're going to poll people on, it's going to be things like transphobia and racism

  • I too think the designated "progressive" party in a two-party system should resign to a purely reactive position and leave it to the right to actually try to change people's beliefs.

  • Decriminalise all drugs.

    Criminalise all advertising.

  • I hate how the sick and disgusting terf ideology is metastasizing to the rest of the west. Relatively progressive social was one of our few redeeming features — we are racist, imperialist scumbags but at least we're somewhat normal to LGBTQ people — and now we can't even have that. We were just about to achieve the kind of normalisation for trans people that gay people have had and now it's all being called off to protect the precious feelings of a handful of weird mold-brained wankers.

    Meanwhile the same pricks who are spreading this filth have no problems crying crocodile tears over the fate of queer people in enemy non-Aryan countries.

  • Why don't he just go on sick leave and let some substitute take over if he's too sick to perform the tasks he was elected to do? Is he really that narcissistic?

  • Yeah... They're not exactly wrong about that. I do share your concerns about the tactical utility in attacking Wall Street though.

  • I am kind of jealous of ancien regime French aristocrats. They were some of the last men in the west who was allowed and expected to dress flamboyantly. Menswear since then has all been dull imitations of military uniforms.

  • No, I don't have a huge vocabulary because I am some genius. I have it because I need to have lots of words for the same thing to make up for my memory recall fail rate.

  • Would she be interested in Sergei Eisenstein?

    • The Strike: A silent movie about workers striking at a factory. It has some cinematography that is way beyond it's time
    • Battleship Potemkin: If you are into prevention films you have to watch this silent move about a mutiny at a tsarist battleship, simply because it has been referenced in so many other works.
    • Alexander Nevsky: This one is a talkie. It is a period drama about the medieval fight to kick the Teutonic Order (here used as a barely hidden historical standin for the Nazis) out of Russia. It had a huge budget and is kind of famous for the reenactment of a grand battle on a frozen lake.
  • That is essentially a call for 9/11 style actions

    Couldn't it just as well be a call for military operations against genocide-related infrastructure outside of Palestine, such as arms manufacturers or zionist "diplomatic missions"?

  • Don't worry, the regime has found a way to actually get things done this time. When announcing their military "acceleration fund" earlier this year they said that in order to speed up things they would begin to just buy stuff without doing too much work to make sure that they were getting the right stuff for the right price. "Mistakes are going to be made" they said.

    Meanwhile every non-armed branch of the state is routinely expected to do more with less and spend their money more efficiently every year.

  • I spoke to some people working in executive positions for small to medium-sized Danish naval contractors recently. They told me that five years ago all the people from the industry were gathered by the navy for meetings on constructing new patrol ships. Many people drew large salaries for going to a lot of meetings. Nothing has been built yet. Now they're starting over from scratch, this time not just to build patrol ships but to build an entire new navy. Many people are drawing large salaries to go to a lot of meetings again.

    The regime wants to build the new navy domestically. However, and these executives were very aware of this, the capacity to build large ships doesn't exist in the west anymore. The large shipyards have all been closed down and converted to other uses and even though Denmark still has a capacity for maritime engineering, design and architecture, the skilled workers needed to actually build the ships are not there anymore. And even if they were, nobody would want to pay a couple of hundred of them the salaries they would have to. There's a reason why ship building was outsourced in the first place.

    The regime plans to get around this by letting a hundred subcontractors bloom, each building parts of the new ships in different locations. Then all the parts are going to be gathered in the harbour of Esbjerg and welded together there. The executives didn't think much of that idea. They thought that the way to get around having to employ 300 ship builders is to sprinkle the magic fairy dust of technology on the new naval shipyard, somehow using robotics and the line to reduce the number of workers to a hundred.

    I don't think their idea of robotic domestic shipyards is that much less delusional than the one-piece-at-the-time scheme imagined by the regime. As if Asian shipyards were not already using robotics where possible. Also, unlike the west, China and other Asian countries have an actual shipbuilding industry that can be leveraged to develop new fancy high-tech solutions, the west doesn't.

  • I had McDonald's yesterday. The sauce and the bread was sugary enough to legally categorize it as a desert. I spent all night having a heartburn because of it and my skin still feels disgustingly oily.

  • Absolutely. The average Euro is convinced that were it not for NATO (purely defensive alliance of peaceful democracies), Putin would unleash the Red Army to flood Europe like a human tsunami, occupying every spot of land within a week.

    They also believe that Russia is running out of vehicles in Ukraine and are riding donkeys and camels into battle. The enemy is too strong and too weak.

  • People are angry but there's nobody organising and directing the anger. Just a bunch of pissed off atomised individuals who are still too high on white supremacy and exceptionalism to ever entertain the thought that they're not living in the best of all possible societies.

  • Not for everyone though, MP's and ministers can still retire at 60.
