C’mon ppl, why aren’t you alle asking the most obvious question if it is about China? Remember, if it is about China, you have to ask at what cost?. It has the same importance as brushing your teeth every day. If you read something about China, imagine the “at what cost?” line after every sentence
As such, there is a pressing need for the incoming administration to reaffirm American global leadership and to strengthen the United States’ reputation as a force for peace and stability.
Our imperialism is good imperialism. It is peace and stability imperialism.
Those churches are often very old buildings…
Jesus, on the first look I thought it is some kind of weird mainboard I have never seen, with legacy interfaces but somehow the distances are way to low.
Psychoanalysis is quackery. It was progressive at a certain point, but it got pretty fast reactionary.
Had “age is just a number” always this implication or did it occure through the internet? I said it once to my grandmother back then, when she was sad, the she is not young anymore and will probably die soon. I have the feeling that phrases and words got “corrupted” over the time.
You can argue the same for North Korea for that matter. Those countries and others with material conditions considered “worse” than the US were and still are literally brutalized by US/Western imperialism.
Of course they are brutalized. Thats why pointed out, that “worse” is vague. Because it is far more worse to life in a country which is brutalized, than somewhere where the situation is peaceful. But if we speak about “worse” and “better” referring to imperialism, atrocities and genocide, than the US is ranking actually on the first place.
Furthermore, to clarify, I was wondering whether which country is the “worst” primarily based on the actual leaders/ruling class of the government itself and the malicious nature of their actions.
It is not easy to top the USA. But I wouldn’t even rank Israel on the second place, because its complicated I think. While Israel commits genocide, they need their support from the US and Europe. Same goes for other countries which may commit similar atrocities. The USA is powerful enough to let such things happen or stop it and they let it happen if its useful. Reminds me how Selensky is begging the US for authorisation to attack specific targets in Russia. I think I would answer your question with “no”, there is no worse country.
Of course, I admit that countries (aside from the 2 previously mentioned) like India, France, Britain, and Germany are more influential internationally and overall more active, allowing them to oppress in similar ways that the USA and Israel does, making them worse in many aspects.
That’s right. Especially the alliance of those countries you mentioned is a special thing. Speaking of NATO, even Germany, France etc. are absolutely dependent on the US.
But what do you mean with “worst”? Its very vague. What are the conditions, that makes something good or bad. Because, people have different priorities. As example, it is important for me that I can somehow live in a country. I don’t want to die, I want food, water, place to sleep and also work. Considering that, USA would be better than other countries, where civil war is present. Or if you are not male but female. USA would than also be far more better than Afghanistan.
I hope you understand, what I wanted to say.
right-wing anime fascists that simp for that country exacerbate my disdain furthermore.
This movement is the worst. To be honest, when I started reading manhua and then manhwa I could also see difference to Japanese anime/manga. The later ones are have those tendency to Japanese nationailsm and anticommunism.
OK, if this doesn’t exist in english, than it’s a little bit embarrassing for me and probably a bunch of people know now where I am from. Sometimes a phrase sounds logical, that I translate it directly.
I think more correct would be “you can hunt me down with this”. Also “you can chase me with that” sounds probably more correct.
This known phrase in Germany means that you dislike something so much that you would rather run away from it, avoiding it at all cost. It’s a figurative way of saying that someone really doesn’t like something.
Its true, that NATO wants peace. Peace under their condition. Since this it cant be archieved easily through politics, it develops to war, which is politics by different means. Its everything about peace. Sadly Minecraft peaceful mode has more in common with the common understanding of peace then NATO peace. Which also is something like Minecraft hardcore mode, but you have only a stick, everywhere is lava and 3847482 Wither skeletons are flying around. And you also have rotten flesh in the invetar.
Absolutely forgot “Arbeit macht frei”
“Freedom Gas”
The US way of pretending to be the good guys: Put freedom on everything. Freedom Gas, Freedom Fries, Freedom Toast, Liberty Cabbage. I will now pretend that the letter F in F-16 stands also for Freedom. I am waiting for Freedom Tanks, Freedom Missiles, Freedom Warships and Freedom Nuclear Annihilation. Freedom World War, Freedom Genocide, Freedom Fascism.
Fascist parties have by the way the weird tendency to put Freedom in their name or something with liberal:
Soooo much freedom that I don’t even know what freedom actually is anymore
You can hunt me with those photos. It is ones of the cheapest kinds of propaganda and you can see it also today (Ukrainian soldier rescues an animal etc). But it stills work. HOW? It is always obvious what the intention is, but some people are still buying it. Reminds always on this:
Did I actually read “what about”? Isn’t this WhAtAbOuTiSm!?!? Tanky orc confirmed!
Sorry for placing words in your mouth, or seeming to anyways (that wasn’t exactly my intention).
No problem, all good!
watched by or designated “far right” by the Verfassungsschutz/gestapo (that they actually are far-right is another matter worth caring about however), and that I don’t think the German bourgeois, genocidaire, warmongering state’s admission/designation adds to the credibility, rather the opposite, even if they said that the sky was blue it’d probably be best to doubt until you can look out and see it for yourself.
I agree with you. It doesn’t add any credibility, its the opposite.
I primarily wanted to say that there was a rapid change of direction in the public debate. Starting with someone almost having to justify voting for the AFD or giving it a platform, and now it’s completely normal to even think about a coalition.
The bourgeois state is no longer pretending regarding this matter. No attempts to disguise anything, but to say directly: “Yes, it’s indeed a far-right party. Yes, that’s okay, that’s normal.” They no longer need to lie to your face. I just think it’s connected to the shift to the far right in the public discourse in Germany, normalising it and also the preparation for war. Exactly 85 years ago, Germany attacked Poland, now right-wing extremism is accepted in bourgeois politics and is treated as normal.
Contrary to decades before, you have now to justify yourself if you are against German militarism or against Yankee imperialism per se.
In other words, as if the bourgeois were not trying to disguise and justify its exploitation, but simply saying it right to your face, as if it were the most normal thing in the world. Or think of, when German admits tomorrow, that there is a genocide going on in Palestine and that there are fine with it - Contrary to denying it.
Just because something is a “badge of honor” doesn’t mean people should try for it, nor that it is a positive thing otherwise, or that the circumstances which led to its existence should have been present to begin with.
Ah ok, good that you pointed that out. I met in the past organisations once, which were joking around how “cool” this would be. But of course, a serious organisation would take this matter serious.
I had the impression, that all those political parties literally waited that something like Solingen happened. Like a trigger was pulled and now they all were pushing all possible things against people seeking shelter in Germany. Ah, don’t forget that this is again an excuse to advocate for more surveillance on the Internet by all means.
This here one seems pretty fast, I guess also safe!
Being able to travel across the country on a train would be pure joy.
Right? There was once a direct connection from Paris to Moscow. If I remember correct you could travel from Paris to Berlin, then Warsaw, Minsk and Moscow. From there you could travel to Tomks, Omsk, Wladiwostok or down to China till Beijing. How many cultures you can visit this way. I mean this alone would probably widen my horizon.
Sadly there is no direct connection to Pjongjang and then to Seol. In a better world, in communim, this would be doable!
While the AFD is certainly a far-right party, I wouldn’t consider the German bourgeois state an authority on the subject
That’s not what I said. There es difference between denying and admitting. While the german bourgeois state admits it, they are freely supporting this party. SPD, GRÜNE, CDU/CSU are totally fine executing things, which the AFD always wanted and wants. Letting this party be, consider coalitions etc. while officially saying it is a far right party, has its own quality.
Germany doesn’t need the AFD to be a far-right, fascistic hellhole, the bourgeois state is already eagerly doing it themselves, backing and aiding in industrial genocide in Palestine, and once again pursuing lebensraum (through NATO expansion) in eastern Europe.
Yes, they don’t need the AFD. But still I see a difference between “We are liberal democrats, fascism bad on the paper, there is no genocide in Palestine” and “We are liberal democrats, AFD is far right and has fascist tendencies (That’s how the official view is), but we are fine with it, support it and will eventually make a coalition with them, also no genocide in Palestine”.
For most causes (not the AFD) being watched by the modern gestapo should be a badge of honor.
While I somehow understand what you mean, I think it is dangerous to be watched. Looking at their which conditions you have to met to be watched, its ridiculous but also says a lot. I would be alarmed, I mean, they have many means to even silence you or forbid you organisation - Which nothing at all matters for the AFD.
I have a fear of flying with a plain. I know all those statistics and so on. And I even flew a couple of times in the past. One day I had the thought, that a airplaine can have problems and fall down. That’s scary enough for me to even think about it. But how is it with such fast trains? I traveled once with TGV and ICE. It is fast and I felt uneasy. Now I am asking myself, is it the same dangerous if something goes wrong compared to a airplane?
Tbh I will probably never visit south america. I have to get somehow from Europe to North East Russia. Than from there to Alaska and then long way down. Ship only from Russia to Alaska. But because shitty imperialist wars makes this not so easy. Traveling to the north pole is also dangerous. I have to wait till there so direct train connection from some Europe country to Argentina, so I can safely travel with 50km/h. Fast speed is scaaaaaaaary. Using ships is OK, but not if there is to many water like in a ocean
Hitlers path lol. Godwins law is indeed now common in world politics
