Ouch. She wasn’t one of my favorites but I still liked her a lot. As others have said, hopefully it’s nothing serious and we’ll see her pop up in stories from time to time.

Bae should really hand her title to Shiori, chaos is the driving force behind all of her choices lmao

My guy I live in Europe. And you’re totally out of touch with reading comprehension, that’s literally what I said in the rest of the comment you cut out.

Nobody in Europe is Pro-guns end of story. Not even a possibility.

He’s “pro-guns” as in, “pro-being able to own a gun under the right circumstances”. No one is trying to outlaw guns in Europe, because they aren’t as much of an issue if you actually check who you’re giving them to, like Bernie proposes.

Almost every EU party and politician is pushing for green energy, not oil, not nuclear. Even Germany while being governed by the center-right decided to close nuclear power stations.

…so they’re against nuclear and only want fully clean energy. Like Bernie.

The EU does a lot in healthcare for addicts, most countries only consider it a crime if you’re carrying a large amount because it would be considered trafficking.

Not really? I have a friend with those issues in Italy and every time he tried to go to psychologists or clinics they all pinned every issue on drugs and wanted him to quit cold turkey before even starting to treat him. And we’re talking about cannabis, which would be legal under Bernie.

Nobody wants to legalize anything except for the far-left extremists in a few countries.

There’s been discussions for legalization of cannabis from the left, but none for everything else. So again, the same position as Bernie.

As for war and immigration sure, I didn’t say all positions. But I still stand by the point that most of those are definitely not right-exclusive positions in the EU.

Care to argument or are you just going to say “no u” and dip? In which european country are most of these up for serious political debate?

Hell, if anything in Italy there’s discussion about nuclear but it’s the left that wants it banned while the right is pushing it.

Well, most of these positions are shared across the political spectrum even in Europe. (Also apparently he regrets his decision about Afghanistan). I’d still say that would place him left/center left in most of the continent, imo.

Thanks for the list though, I rarely see people bring out legit points against Bernie, it’s good to have a nuanced discussion.

Haven’t watched much of the EN boys prior to this but that was pretty fun, even though I probably missed all the inside jokes. Happy Anniversary!

yeah and I could point to his right wing non-economic views

For example? Legit question, I’ve heard him being pretty supportive of stuff like LGBT rights, Climate activism, Gun laws and legalization of Marijuana, but I’m European so I might not have the full picture.

No…? 4-day work week with no reduction in pay is very much a left/far left concept even in Europe.

Okay, that was glorious. Everyone’s arguments were perfectly in-character and the whole stream swinging between scientific points and elementary school gotchas made it peak comedy. Props to Bae for organizing it (and I guess to Cecilia for kickstarting it lol).

I hope they manage to do it again sooner or later, I wanna see more members debate (Ame and Mumei feel like they could do wonders considering their ranting abilities), or even just more of these ones swapping places like Bae and Irys were suggesting. As long as it’s all in good fun and they can find the good balance between trivial arguments and potential for “tribalism”, the format is great.

Finally, the showdown will begin. Probably won’t be able to catch it live but I’ll definitely watch the archive.

The person claiming this is @TheBestFigen. And who is that? Why are they reporting this? You don’t trust random sources on twitter for news.

Idk but they have more than a million followers. If someone with that reach posts misleading information it’s good to correct it.

I mean, I’m not completely against that… but Crowdstrike is an American company. Did you comment on the wrong post?

Nope, weirdly no imposters were sighted this time, although I’m not sure what the little guy above the sapling is supposed to be

Someone on Reddit had Gamma’s message Google Translated like this, for what it’s worth:

Regarding this contract cancellation

I would like to apologize for causing inconvenience and anxiety to all the Hololive Stars members, fans, and the management of Hololive Productions who have supported me up until now due to my lack of self-control. I would like to inform you that after consulting with the management, I received permission to post this document.

■To all Gamma assistants

The two and a half years I worked there was truly a dream-like time, and the time I spent with all my assistants was a happy and irreplaceable time.

I worked hard every day to achieve the goals we talked about with everyone, putting all my heart and soul into my activities so that I would have no regrets, and I am truly sorry that we had to part ways like this. Supported me when I was clumsy I love you all from now on and always will. Thank you very much for supporting Hisaki Gamma until now.

■To everyone who has helped me in my activities so far

I am very sorry that we had to part ways so suddenly. I was able to interact with people who I have admired since before my debut. I will never forget the memories I made with you all. I’m really thankful to you.

Hizaki Gamma

The “lack of self-control” part seems to have a vague wording in Japanese so it’s unlikely to be accurate, but the rest should be correct.

I’m still more attached to Shien’s version but man, Suisei covers/originals are always great.

Another one I could see is that he wanted to vote Republican but at some point realized that Trump sucks ass to put it mildly. So he tried to somehow push the Rep party to at least get back in touch with the idea of sanity by killing him?

I could see that happening. While I still dislike it, conservatism by itself is a valid ideology. Maybe he believed in the core principles of the party (small government, free market, christianity, etc.) and was sick of the main candidate being a lying fascist that is the spitting image of the biblical antichrist.

Wake up call for what? They won last election with a corporate candidate and have a decent chance of doing it this time too. Like the post says, they don’t care that much about losing, their life isn’t threatened by it.

The only thing that can be done is to keep on voting for the non-fascist candidate hoping that one day both of the main parties will present one that fits the category.

I feel very stupid for not noticing that.

Love it, thanks!

Man, I did much worse than last year lol
