Very smart engineer: Why don't they just rebuild the bridge cheaply, safely and quickly lol? Also use rusty steel
As a European, there is no doubt that Europe is genuinely descending into fascism. Every country puts in new, worse laws every year, the internet gets censored even heavier, more forms of protest get outlawed and control of media (TV/News/Social) is in ever fewer hands. We are quite literally at the point of punishing anybody who dares to suggest improving society somewhat
The KPD under Thälmann's leadership regarded the Social Democratic Party (SPD) as its main adversary and the party adopted the position that the social democrats were "social fascists".
I guess he was right.
It's a fun thing to say, I'm sure. But it honestly upsets me to see others so willingly and happily wish death upon others. I don't actually wish death on anyone, it's just a sad and unfortunate necessity because oppressors like Israel and the US make it the only means of self-defence.
One very normalized thing that always infuriates me is the way news headlines report on major disasters. It's always "Plane crashes in China, TWO AMERICANS DEAD", "Nuclear explosions blows up populated city, four Britons confirmed missing", like bitch all the people on that plane and in that city were valuable humans with valuable lives, not just people with the same colour passport as me.
Every election it's the leftists' turn to compromise to avoid total disaster. When is the libs' turn to compromise and vote in somebody remotely left-wing or be blamed for a Trump victory?
If they're covering your mortgage, these people are buying you your house. Owning a house after a decade or two, even if you really did have nothing else earned in the meantime, is massive profit leeched from others.
Amazing how people feel it's okay to out themselves as parasitic landlord scum still.
I've never seen a more accurate application of this meme, honestly. The amount of grandstanding by the US on one achievement out of a hundred is impressive.
I for one would absolutely like some hugs instead
Firefox for Android previously only supported a limited number of select extensions. They're finally opening it up so you can use any extension.
Some people in this thread really do need to![emoji touch-grass touch-grass](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/73f948a1-4dd3-4bb3-bb14-813582df27e1.png)
Violent opposition to genocide is of course justified, but publicly chanting supporting for an event that is, at the very least, widely public perceived as a massacre of civilians, is pretty shitty protest tactics at best. And discrediting fed-work at worst.
Critical support for Hamas. They should do more violent resistance to the IDF, and sadly civilians will die, but that aspect is an unfortunate necessity, not a thing to be lauded. Hamas themselves say they made mistakes in that attack.
People should not stand with them on every issue and event; overall obviously fighting a genocide makes them worthy of support.
