Commiunism

No surprises there - Germany is one of the most supportive countries of Israel, the amount of shit that they pull against pro-Palestine protesters is just sad to read about.

I'm guessing they're feeling guilty for the holocaust and as an apology, they're letting the jews in Israel do one of their own.

I kinda get the accelerationist-like game plan conservatives are doing here (voting down funding and then blaming the other political side), but it's just so evil considering that alternative options would actually help people and achieve the same effect.

Vote for relief funding, maybe do some "helping" for press photos to look good, spend some billionaire money that conservatives aren't lacking for fundraisers then boast about it, calling democrats and current administration ineffective. Same result but it might save lives with the added bonus that nobody can call you out on lying.

Is it really so hard to do some good every once in a while? It really feels like conservatives are allergic to morally good deeds.

I'm curious how many houses/apartments are unused in the US, acting as a speculative asset and if building more is even necessary.

Hey, don't rewrite history - twitter was always notoriously bad, under Elon it surely got even worse though.

This is such a weird phenomena, but also a sad one. I'm assuming she does enjoy partying with drag queens but is so ashamed about it that she decides to compensate by rallying against them, sort of like how staunch anti-gay politicians are often caught in gay acts.

Or maybe it was just some drunken lapse of her """moral beliefs""", can't really tell.

I've read The Guardian article about the situation, and what stuck out to me was this:

The US president, Joe Biden, said he was aware of Israel’s plans to launch an operation into Lebanon as he urged against such a move. “I’m more aware than you might know and I’m comfortable with them stopping,” he told reporters at the White House. “We should have a ceasefire now.”

Thank you Biden, just wag your finger and keep feeling "comfortable with them stopping", that is ought to give you some moral victory points which is all that matters (and not thousands of civilians being killed by Israel that's funded by US).

Wonder if this is real or just ragebait, really can't be sure in the current day lmao

Yeah, though there's also the phenomena of older folks generally being more against change and clinging in the past more, the idea being that you have less future to look forward to (since you're closer to death than your birth) so instead you look towards the past and become nostalgic about it.

Not surprising, white nationalist movements were always there but only somewhat recently they stopped using extreme rhetoric in order to get more supporters, and it's super effective. Nowadays you have even mildly exclusionary people who wouldn't have supported white nationalists spout anti-immigration nonsense online and irl, voting for the far-right thinking they're solving some issue that doesn't really exist in reality and is massively overblown.

The world is going back to authoritarianism.

The resolutions are not likely to pass; even if they did pass the heavily pro-Israel Congress, they would likely be vetoed by President Joe Biden, who has been insistent on sending weapons to Israel with no strings attached.

Yeah, this is an absolute shame. He tried doing something similar shortly after the genocide had started, but everyone else currently in power just shut him down almost unanimously.

If politics and getting into power wasn't 90% based on your wealth and connections, maybe US could have more people like Bernie trying to actually do good rather than trying to enrich or empower themselves.

ERP can also refer to Erotic Role Play

Whenever I see companies use ERP as an acronym, I can't help but wonder if they're aware of its more general meaning
