Yeah, Robert Habeck, who will be running as candidate for the Greens in upcoming German elections, just went right back into Edgelord Elron's gutter because of *checks notes* "resistance".

Active participation and hence support, framed as "resistance".

[ sobs a little ]

@AnarchoNinaWrites

To be fair, Meta hired a guy involved in the Project2025 piece of fascist shit for...

[ 🎺 fanfares 🎺 ]

... their policy making.

[ slapstick show laughter ]

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Fun thing folks still mention Ukraine, when quite a few experts never get tired to mention the huge pile of stuff the west is sitting on and how they've given just barely enough to slowly grind the RuZZian stock pile down. I'm sure that's not cold blooded calculations either. They wouldn't do that, would they. Because we're the good guys, aren't we. Well...

@AnarchoNinaWrites

We mentioned privilege, did we? Yeah, we did. Scrap that.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Also the sheer amount of "yeah, look, the fascists might have a valid point here and there" is driving me nuts. I mean - sure, do it, but then please fuck off, because we're not in the same boat any longer.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @justafrog

Gosh! You tried? Worth it, innit. 😇 🍿 🥳

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Feel it, because not too far away there once was a very good restaurant serving genuine chinese food. Vastly different from all the others with their almost interchangeable menu and standardized taste of everything. Not exactly cheap, though, but it was always worth it. No delivery service or any of that and you better were calling well ahead in order to get a seat. Sweet memories, but at least a large enough city, so plenty of options and new offers like Korean and such.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Thinking about it - well - it's probably worth giving asian stuff a try in order to spice up home cooking further... I mean - lemon grass, ginger and stuff - it can't be all that hard, can it. 😇

@justafrog @AnarchoNinaWrites

Out of frustration with prices for stuff that can be bought *a lot* cheaper I once tried to make Sushi. Easy enough! And the hurdle of glutene-free soy sauce was taken as well recently, so there's really not much in the way - except for all the other, more regional stuff I also like to make. Like - erm - you really wouldn't believe what an apple can do to a simple potato salad, for instance... 😇 😋

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Sort of rediscovered a place that once was Chinese and is now Vietnamese. Their solution seems quite simple. You can get some of the usual semi-chinese, standardized, sort-of-asian fast-food stuff, provided you really want to ignore all their fabulous, genuine, good stuff.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Over here? In Germany?

[ sighs ]

The neoliberal shitfuckery surely doesn't like the fascist aesthetics or their blunt approach, but are basically perfectly fine with the underlying notions of white supremacy and all.

Some squabble still ensues among them when it comes to cosmetics like cheap gas or funding for your next shiny EV, maybe for the heat pump in their smart homes, at least, but that's more or less it and folks having to pay rent are *not* on their radar, ever.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Random thought:
When it comes to elections, fascist populists always win against conservative bureaucrats running on fascist terms.

Easy enough. Fascists only want power, so they won't have problems telling all sorts of lies with a straight face. Why even worry about facts or solutions when all you want is the power to destroy it all? It's a contest the neoliberal bureaucrats always lost. Macron in France, a series of regional elections in Germany - the list could go on...

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Sad thing about it: They know they only have to repeat their lies and fairy-tale storylines often enough. It fucking works. /o\

@hannu_ikonen

I gathered most of it happened because of him and his policies, clinging to a past that ceased to exist long ago, yes. /o\

@hannu_ikonen

Random foot note:
In Germany, the neoliberal, almost fascist, fossil-happy suckers from the FDP just got thrown out of the German government, finally breaking a stupid coalition where the FDP always played the part of the opposition, causing elections to happen earlier.

Don't expect anything good to happen, because fascists are on the rise over here as well - with very slim chances for progressives to regain anything that was lost because of all the neoliberal FDP shitfuckery.

@hannu_ikonen

Sure, but they know and they decided either not to care or that somehow it magically continues to be beneficial to their kind - which in turn surely explains why they choose to support outright fascists, again. Expect more along those lines. And scrap at least the hopes that it will somehow be smooth, because "smooth" just ended at the ballot box.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ich möchte Dich herzlich zu einer wichtigen Kundgebung einladen:

Wann: Samstag, 28. September 2024, 13:30 Uhr
Wo: Hugo-Borst-Anlage beim spanischen Konsulat in Stuttgart

Anlass unserer Kundgebung ist ein alarmierender Fall in Spanien:
Sechs Gewerkschafterinnen unserer Schwestergewerkschaft CNT wurden zu je 3,5 Jahren Haft verurteilt. Ihr einziges „Verbrechen“? Sie kämpften für bessere Arbeitsbedingungen in der Konditorei „La Suiza“ in Gijón.

@AnarchoNinaWrites
The Fediverse may not be perfect, but hey! You don't need to be stinking rich to run your own li'l server and lately I also discovered that complaints about troublemakers you might have caught on your instance actually *do* reach you, enabling you to do something about fascist trolls.

Keep the units small enough and there's plenty of moderation staff to take care of the fascists, climate change deniers and other assclowns trying to poison a civil discourse. Not bad at all. 😇

@SRLevine @AnarchoNinaWrites

🙏 🥰 😍

Got it pinned for a few months - to no avail.
