“We hope that this ruling is a tipping point for the wild hamster,” stated Free Van Rompaey of Bird Protection Flanders

I had to reread that part from ‘stating’ a few times, feared for a minute I’d had a stroke.

Naming your child Free, although laudable, tends to be confusing in an increasingly Anglophone world.

If the term collective group is referencing the exploiters, then those are the cause of the issues. These cannot be solved without altering the economic system, which is a direct - and in their eyes violent - attack on the exploiters.

I agree with being careful stigmatizing groups or people, but that does not count for exploiters. They are the heinous villains of this world. They deserve no compassion.

Surplus value my friend, it’s all in the surplus value.

Even the Made In America stickers come from China lol

Beautiful, thanks!

This song always does it for me, even after a decade and some years.

Ah yes, that left-wing government with a banker president. I guess everything is regarded as left by Trump.

Next to diplomacy, punching power can very well come in an economic form, e.g. still multiple tens of billions of euros flow to Russia to purchase fossil fuels.

The parties I talk about are not a fan of NATO, let that be clear. NATO has multiple authoritarian regimes under its wings, not only Trump but also Erdogan and Orban. Meloni’s Italy is not too far off either, so I suppose that makes it hard for leftist parties to get behind it.

Leftist parties in my small country in Western Europe are mainly advocating for more diplomacy.

They’re generally on board with the idea that NATO expanded too much eastwards, undoing a promise made after the fall of the USSR. So they seem to view Russian attacks on Georgia, Crimea and now the rest of Ukraine as a logical consequence. With enough diplomatic maneuvering, they believe the situation can be resolved in a peaceful manner.

They’re spewing enough words. It’s action which Europe needs.

Moved away from Proton since their CEO couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

Migrated to migadu.com, works nicely.

Agreed.

The democrat dinosaurs will panic, telling us the large donations will dry up, without which a campaign cannot be won.

This is a tough one, I’ve been racking my brain the whole day. In the end I’ve settled on Sardonis - Nero d’Avola

This is the correct response to any question started with “Is the EU ready to…”.

Fun fact, during the same trip he also mentioned that doctors assisting abortions are hired killers.

Decadence and opulence will still only be a private jet trip away.

Funny how 8 years ago, people kept saying “don’t worry about Trump, there are checks and balances in place”. None of that talk this time around!
