I dont think the kind of person who torments you with constant motherly disrespect in school would be fazed by the suggestion that they are homophobic since they only target your mother. That’s not a good gotcha at all, at best they would laugh and agree with you.
You have to remember that the left in america is not in fact left at all. Just that the political spectrum got purged of anything left of full blown capitalism during the red scare, and now “the left” is entirely the same as the right, aside from their social policies.
Both are capitalist, pro deregulated free market money loyalists who have successfully reframed the left vs right question from an economic to a social one, and are perfectly content having the peasants bicker over reproductive rights and immigration, neither of that endangers the capital.
So with this added context, the reddit population is actually predominantly liberal to progressive. Lemmy is definitely more left leaning though, for better or worse (tankies 🤧)
Yeah anyone who has ever had a dog come across a random treat during walks will know better. They ingrain that memory in their soul, from then until the end of time they will want to check out the spot where they found a treat 6 years 4 months and 18 days ago.
To be fair, the blog post details how they plan on avoiding such an issue in the future
That’s the sub slogan of this cigarette brand: “its toasted!"
I believe it is just some fancy way of drying the tobacco they have patented for marketing or so
Certainly, I am German myself. Everything that happens in us politics happens here as well some while later. I just didn’t agree with the suggestion that it is Germany again “leading the way”.
The real reason is the russian digital warfare campaign on the West that has been ongoing for years, while our societies are entirely unprepared and helpless against this new type of conflict and have allowed Russia to prop up sycophantic far right parties all over the West, beginning with the trump operation.
The fourth Reich is rising in the states, if anything.
I know you skimp on your education system, but do you not understand my words? Patriotism doesnt automatically mean america. This isnt about who or what or how your country can avoid going full masks off fascism, this is a semi serious comparison between nationalism and patriotism in a comic format.
And if you want to talk to Americans about american problems I suggest a less international community dedicated to such musings, instead of self centeredly derailing a random, at best tangentially related comment section.
Again, why are you even talking about america? I certainly am not, and the op is just a generalized patriotism vs nationalism comic. The above commenter you replied to originally makes no indication they are referring to america either.
I get it, your system failing is a hot topic for you, but outside your bubble nobody knows or really cares about the inner workings of your government, beyond which senile capitalist you eventually elect to change nothing for the better.
Why do you assume op is an american? Not everything is about, or from, or related to, or on reference to, your failed state lol
The issue is 3 years old, I honestly dont know why it is being dredged up again. I also dont know why any of this matters, use something else if you care about the dev beliefs some years ago.
Eh, at best you could create a shadow profile of me. I scrubbed the internet of my actual identity years ago, but you could probably piece together a semi accurate john doe of me from various bits of information I shared on here over the time.
Asking someone their country of residence is privacy intruding? Lol
In the strictest sense perhaps, but I dont think a criminal could make something of the knowledge that I am from Germany.
That is far too democratic to ever be a thing in your country. The political system is financed and thus owned by the capital, so they will never permit a not capitalist to have any political success. Bernie, a by all objective measures very moderate leftist, is the furthest the spectrum goes, and he is more tolerated as a sort of token minority than realistically able to affect any real change.
If people were able to select and push their own candidates the whole big money oligarchy collapses.
It wasn’t entirely serious, obviously there are both tasty and filling salads. Just that I am fairly sure that croutons exist because at some point someone chewed down on a pile of lettuce and thought “this ain’t it”

Just a language thing tho, in my native they are called hunchback whales 👀 not quite as impressive
I understand, but the type of teenager who makes so many your mom jokes at your expense you feel compelled to ask if they are homophobic for only targeting your mom and not your dad, would just say “yes 😎”.
People with enough self awareness to take the implication in jest wouldnt have been so obnoxious with the yo mama jokes in the first place.
