Send me bad puns. Good puns welcome too.
then wash hands with “Israel is the only safe place for American jews. If they face problems in America, they should immigrate here.”
That is literally their pitch. Zionists want Israel to be the only safe place for Jews. Why do you think Israel is so chummy with the Western far right?
Yeah… smells like bigotry. Here’s Reuters on the subject: https://www.reuters.com/world/germany-bans-muslim-interaktiv-association-searches-properties-2025-11-05/. Notably,
In a position paper shared on the YouTube channel of the face of Muslim Interaktiv, Raheem Boateng, the group affirmed its support for the German constitution but rejected any state interference in its understanding of Islam. “We recognise the validity of the Basic Law (constitution) as the normative order of the Federal Republic. It is precisely this regulatory framework that guarantees us, as Muslims, the right to exist in Germany,” according to the position paper.
Now I have literally no idea what these guys do (though calling for a caliphate in Germany is weird as fuck), but DW is pushing a narrative here.
“We will respond with the full force of the law to anyone who aggressively calls for a caliphate on our streets, incites hatred against the state of Israel and Jews in an intolerable manner, and despises the rights of women and minorities,”
Holding demonstrations is aggressive now? Also he just had to suck Israel’s dick here. Also obligatory ban AfD first.
it’s indistinguishable from a lawless oligarchy.
It’s definitely an oligarchy, but “lawless” hasn’t been my impression of China, at least not any more than any capitalist country.
ACAB strikes again.
Obviously it’s hard to complain when this stuff is being used to protect Ukrainian independence, but man this shit is terrifying. I am not looking forward to Americans or Chinese getting their hands on this tech.
I think the housing crisis, crushing capitalism and rising cost of living are having more impact than ML propaganda here. Not that a Chinese takeover would necessarily fix these things, but there’s plenty of reason to be disillusioned with liberal democracy other than propaganda.
Bill, stop trying to make nuclear happen.
Why tho?
Renewables are here to stay and solar is as close as we will get to ‘free’ energy.
Why not both?
I did, still not sure why this is supposed to be a problem beyond a general money in politics thing. “Nuclear companies do PR” isn’t really a surprising statement.
Lmao what the heck is a nuclear propaganda lobby?
Also, by stopping nuclear power Germany had to increase their carbon emissions by ~400% while also spending more than half a trillion euros so… uh… yeah.
Imperialism does tend to boil down to just murdering people.
Keyword here is “accused.” Neoliberal media likes to accuse leftists of Bad Things™.
From what I’ve heard Canada doesn’t even have an EV industry to protect.
Tourism is a cancer and generates nothing but misery for the people living in beautiful places.
It also generates money (through tourism-related jobs) for people living in those places. I get your frustration, and governments should absolutely be doing a lot more about overtourism, but plenty of ordinary people benefit from tourism.
China is worse at home (for now, give it a year and it’ll flip), but abroad the US no-diffs.
I mean that makes sense; realistically a weaker yen will lead to more tourists going to Japan. What I’m saying is that Japan’s problem is more tourists, not worse tourists, which is what the parent comment implies.
Tourists not knowing courtesy or basic human decency isn’t restricted to any economic class. Japanese tourist hotspots have suffered from this since forever.
They are open to maybe discussing potentially reaching a consensus about the 1967 borders.
You’re exaggerating, but also sure, why do they need to go any further? Compromising beforehand is never a good idea, see: PA. Speaking of which, PA isn’t a tragic victim; they’re an active collaborator. The only thing they do is keep Palestinians under an oppressive dictatorship and fight what little Palestinian resistance exists in the West Bank. That’s why they have no legitimacy; their current program is one of submission, not “peace.”
Hamas is batshit crazy, they’re just far less militarily powerful.
What? Hamas’s position of “give us a Palestinian state and we’ll give them our weapons” is very reasonable. Their lack of respect for civilian lives is one thing, but “batshit crazy” ain’t it. Why do you think they’re batshit crazy?
That is fucking insane.
Then your president managed to be worse than narco terrorists. How does that feel?
