Same, it was big news here.

The FDP sucks, I’m glad the SDP and Grünen stayed their ground.

What are you on about? Most aren’t tankies or fascists here, and certainly don’t worship dictatorships. You might wanna change your feed.

A good tip is to not interact with trolls, but to report and ignore instead.

En hoe komen de andere musea dan aan dat geld? Dit plan rammelt aan alle kanten.

Moeten de Nachtwacht of Mondriaans werken dan maar aan steenrijke geldwolven worden uitgeleend, die de schilderijen beschadigen en nooit zullen laten zien? Terwijl dat het erfgoed van Nederland is?

When multiple great powers on each of the sides are directly* in conflict, with multiple continents being theatres of war.

* as opposed to proxy wars.

Eh, Lemmy isn’t that left wing. It’s just normal left.

This ain’t Old English, it’s just fancier modern English. Nys þæt swa, ac ic cweðe on ðære Engliscan tungan.

There is a reason, originally it’s the colours. Also they’re cuddley.

En meer naar de Randstad. Het PVV-kabinet geeft ook geen zak stront om de niet-Randstedelingen.

Oh how he suffered being a billionnaire (200 billion. That is more than you’d earn if you worked for over 2,000 years, 24/7, with a $200k salary each day).

But it gets worse.

Let’s say you live to be 75. You work from 15 til 70. That’s 55 years of work.

The average world citizen works around 40 hours a week.

You’d need to earn $1 million per hour, just to get almost halfway of the wealth Elon Musk has.

Does one gets this rich by work? Does anyone get this rich by smart investments?

The answer shows itself: only through stealing from people like you, exploiting everyone, and evasion, can someone acquire this much wealth.

“Surely Elon was initially at least normal?” But it gets worse. He supported apartheid, a system under which white, coloured and black people would all face struggle:

The black suffered the most and heaviest,
The coloured were accused of collaboration,
The white lived calm but were spoonfed fear of the other groups, lied to by the oligarchs, of “criminal black thugs” stealing their hard work.

While all groups eventually shared one goal: abolition of this system. F. de Klerk and Mandela showed that this was possible, to reconcile. And yet, Elon Musk opposed this.

But it gets even worse with Musk. He claims to be a family man. But, he never loved his daughter. He abused his daughter, when his daughter told her what any daughter ought to feel able to tell her father: I am who I am.

Musk is the archetypical oligarch: rich, spoiled, and with no sympathy. Let comrades learn: this is not what we are. Musk, Bezos, and all their ilk: to them, you are a mosquito. You are nothing for them.

They are the reason prices rose. They profited from inflation. And all this, while even people with $100k income, struggle to pay mortgages. All this, while the poor starve on the streets, drugged people get no help, and queers are being murdered.

Comrades! You are one front, and the fiend is the oligarch.
The poor cannot steal your wealth, for they have none,
The junkie cannot ruin your health; for they have none,
The queer cannot kill you, for they are killed.

The oligarch has their wealth, health, and kills. Comrades! Once more ye are one front, and the fiend is the oligarch.

Join or resocialise your socialist party, join a newspaper, and unionise! Rich, poor, healthy, ill, straight, queer: disagreement be told: all share one enemy, the oligarch!

It is bad. Companies could just have some fucking standards.

The issue is profit-motivated companies existing in the first place.

Rather, they should be self-led, and motivated towards the best labour environment as according to their workers. That means their workers feeling accepted, heard and listened to, being able to not only live but also thrive. And all that, while still making the organisation more efficient.

Specifically, it’s Breaking Dawn. I think part 2.

while China is the second biggest country in terms of population, India has the biggest population. For the majority of the world (>4 billion) to live somewhere, you’d have to take a circle with a diameter from roughly Ulaanbatar to Makassar, and draw it.

Are there no places where they can hide? Like being hidden by more trusted people. In WW2 we had that too with persecuted people hiding, but yeah.

What if the feedback stops, but the playrate remains high? (ie., indifference but high voter turnout)

This, so much! It’s a lot of suppressed feelings.

Brainfog, just feeling generally meh, that is part of it.

Boycotting will solve one thing, that parties won’t care about your electorate. If enough people do so, then a party might want to take a stance supportive of Palestine, and gain the votes of that electorate.

That said, it is def important to now vote.

Reuters, BBC are fine, AP as well. Al Jazeera is good too. Always be aware of the media biases, nevertheless. Look how they frame and write.

Do they say:

[ethnic thing] arrested and stopped by Police…
or do they say:
Police murders person…

and;
Trump victim of woke witchhunt / Harris loyal to Israel
or:
“The elections have started.”

The fact that the Electoral College was determined to be more important than the people’s votes was shameful.

Al Gore and Hillary should have won.

Hugs, hope you are in a safer place now! I hope that that Putin hits the dust soon.
