Because to them settling down means having “made it”. It’s the last checkpoint before you stop being their baby boy/girl and become a full-fledged adult.

Yeah fair enough.

Nah those Greek twats had it coming.

That’s true, but it’s still up to them whether they want to get arrested over social media comments somebody else made.

Y’all should actually read the post. They’re clear that they don’t want to do this but fear extreme repression by the German government, and they even listed examples of what exactly they’re trying to avoid. I’m no Israel apologist, but I’m convinced.

Literally the “why did mum name me Rose” meme.

Yes, but the point is that someone is going to make that stuff so taking your emissions and putting them in someone else’s backyard isn’t exactly something to brag about.

You’re horny.

They are still the world’s largest contributor by far.

I mean yeah because they’re doing all the manufacturing the West offloaded on them. When you read about emissions in America or Europe going down remember that a big part of that is simply them shuttering heavy industry.

These fuckers think elections will mean something by the Midterms. Which is not unexpected but still disappointing.

I didn’t get the joke. Pls help.

I mean think of it this way: If your monarch isn’t a dick and removing them would piss off the reactionaries and average people who don’t care much about politics, why would you do that? They also help curb strongman autocrats by providing a target for the population to worship (therefore occupying that niche for a certain section of the population) but not give any real power to.

and now I’m just pissed.

Great. Sad leads to apathy; angry leads to guillotines.

Good to know Haaretz is still pissed at Netanyahu.

Wow that is messed up. It’s also from 50 years ago so… yeah.

Uhhh mate our nation is literally dictated by another country and we don’t have genuine autonomy?

Uh… No? The fuck are you even talking about? When is the last time the British monarch made a decision on behalf of Canada?

Okay so, given complicated the differences between variations of liberalism are, Merriam Webster is really not a good source here. That’s not what liberalism means in most of the world. That said, the Democratic Party is definitely classical liberal (also known as neoliberal), rather than social liberal, which is what you’re talking about, and that also exists so I wasn’t 100% correct either, but either way “liberal” is absolutely not a synonym with “progressive”.

Yep.

That’s true, I meant that Haiti was historically actively sabotaged—rather than simply neglected—by the West. In hindsight I should’ve worded that differently.
