The EU is a community of democratic nations, corporating to increase freedom and prosperity.

We'll fucking crush you if you're not on board with the neoliberal project.

Democracy is when the neoliberal demons in Brussels and Washington get their way. Or when reactionary demons like Nigel Farage are allowed to do a little fascism, as a treat.

Anything else is authoritarianism.

with an iron cross? It can't be, right? I'm not expert but I'd imagine it's a different symbol

It's an iron cross which is still the symbol of the Bundeswehr to this day.

The Iron Cross was a (Prussian?) award given for bravery. Those given during WWI will have a white and black ribbon while those given during WWII have a swastika in the middle of the cross and a white, black and red ribbon. After the war West Germany allowed it's personnel to keep wearing Iron Crosses from the world wars although they issued new ones without the swastika on it. They kept the nazi-era color scheme for the ribbon though. Being a wartime decoration, new awards has not been made since WWII but I recall reading someone talking about reviving the Iron Cross as German troops are one again being deployed to warzones. The Iron Cross became the symbol of the armed forces of the right-wing American puppet state in Germany, and the highest civil decoration of the West German state, the Bundesverdienstkreuz, has the iron Cross as a sort of aesthetic ancestor.

Meanwhile in democratic Germany, the National People's Army used the state emblem symbolising peasants, workers and intellectuals surrounded by a laurel wreath as well as the words "For the protection of worker's and peasant's power".

I'm the whitest guy who ever whited. If I go outside in the sun for ten minutes my skin flakes off. But I still find it kind of weird to have "white" as an identity rather than just a skin color. Maybe it's because not being American I was brought up with a different set of brainworms but "white" as an identity seems to be so devoid of any meaning, outside of white supremacy, compared to actual ethnicity or culture where you have a history, a language, a shared set of myths and folklore and traditions and whatnot.

I understand that you would want to rebel if you had a white identity pushed on you and understand how problematic the concept of whiteness is but I can't help feeling that all the self-deprecating anti-white posting is just another way of expressing whiteness as an identity. It's not something that bothers me a lot but it still feels a little weird.

What would be an actually interesting discussion to have would be one about deconstructing whiteness both on a larger scale such as in societies and in organisations and on how you handle being given white privilege on a personal level.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Lol. 39 percent of the satanically racist chuds who vote republican wants keep Hamas in power and allow them to prepare another attack against the illegal zionist entity.

Those are absolute dogshit numbers for the zionists.

She does realise that "stop the genocide is Putin's message" makes Putin look like the good guy, right?

If an order to not commit genocide endangers the existence of the so-called "state of Israel", what does that tell us about said "state"?

I think this foul little demon is more correct about things than he knows.

The capitalists are going to drink wine on Wall Street fire as long as there's capitalism. My guess is that eventually they'll come up with a way of dehumanising internally displaced climate refugees and treat them just as nice as they treat non-white refugees or the homeless. Just because Floridians are chuds doesn't mean that the bougies won't throw them under the bus to keep their shrinking Green Zone safe.

It has the same vibes as the crowd at Goebbels' "total war" speech had but somehow even less dignified.

There's a reason why the "European" space base is placed in a French colony in South America.
