@72mz @benroyce @MannyDexter @MrBirch @grumble209 @todymotmot @wendinoakland @profdc9 @zakalwe there is no far left in the USA. The left wing of Democrats would be centre right in Europe.

@TCatInReality @benroyce @72mz @MannyDexter @MrBirch @grumble209 @todymotmot @wendinoakland @profdc9 @zakalwe there needs to be a centrist party that draws voters from the Reps. Split them, give them the rightmost Dems and win with a progressively renewed Democratic party.

Ich müßt eigentlich arbeiten. Ich hock hier und krieg mich nicht konzentriert. Herr #Merz, Ihr Verhalten ist nicht nur widerlich, unanständig und fördert den Faschismus, nein, es schmälert auch die Produktivität.
Spätestens das muß Ihnen doch zu denken geben! So als Mann der Wirtschaft...

@liztai @villainousfriend tbh I have hardly a clue about Malaysia, I'd find it on a map though :D
And yes, lacking the ability of critical thinking is a thing. I remember people from Eastern Germany looking at media rather differently than westeners who lived not in a dictatorship. Easteners were more trying to read between the lines. After decades living in a western democracy, this has fllipped and there is a tendency coming up to believe in all kind of conspiracies.

@liztai @villainousfriend Being from Europe I thought more about France24, DW English, ... but yes, absolutely.
I figure they consider it all propaganda and lies. I mean how would they know?

@villainousfriend @liztai One thing that comes to my mind is them hardly ever speaking a second language. But then again they should be able to consume British News. Or even other countries do have news channels in English, but probably they are just considered fake news and "jealous of the freedom" USians have. At least these are the "arguments" I get when talking to them about those issues. If you only trust Fox and Breitbart, there is hardly anybody can do.

@randahl how about running all other Meta products everywhere except the EU, too?

@SethRudy wonder what would happen if you invalidate money. I mean money only works because people agree on it. Same goes for stocks etc etc

@peterjelinek und die SPD will Kapitalerträge wie Einkommen versteuern, Mindestlohn hochsetzen und Schuldenbremse reformieren.

@AnarchoNinaWrites oh, I understand, but I tend to not follow orders

@Clu5teR @AnarchoNinaWrites indeed, though it's still dehumanising. You know Goebbels also dehumanised "aryans" if they followed different values than the Nazis'. It wasn't all only racism.

@AnarchoNinaWrites oh, dehumanising, not not at all like Goebbels himself

@AnarchoNinaWrites I get it when people feel relief, but not cheering.
First this guy will be replaced so nothing will change.
Second he was still a human being. Tax his ass, regulate insurances, heck start a revolution to topple the system, but don't cheer for the death of a human.

@GreenSkyOverMe would Trump care?

@Dusty_Marc @hgbruenker Volt, Liberaldemokraten... es gibt viele Kleinparteien in dem Bereich.

So, also hat jetzt die FDP die Koalition aufgekündigt. Ich denke, das ist wichtig. Scholz hat Lindner zu Recht gefeuert, weil er gelindnert hat.
Die Koalition aufgekündigt hat aber die FDP. Offenbar ist Parteiräson wichtiger als Deutschland.

@GreenSkyOverMe Iran hat jetzt schon keine Luftverteidigung mehr und eine Vergeltung Israels würde nach der US Wahl kommen- müßte also da keine Rücksicht nehmen.

@lednaBM @nosmaharba @BenAveling that's not how it works, not that you'd care. God forbid you'd have to let go of your prejudices.
Didn't you want to leave it be and have a happy life?

@nosmaharba @lednaBM @BenAveling yes, I see you mistake literature for a historical record.
See, if you wanna be literacist, that's okay with me. Go to the bible belt and you'll find a lot of friends. It's just not my thing.

@BenAveling @lednaBM the comic paralellises science with religion, but that is a false representation of what religion is about.

Science helps us understand how the world works. Religion helps us to live in the world.
