“Nobody knows what its like, to be gestaaaapooooo”

strongly-worded letters to each other

I’ve kind of always liked that about the EU, in principle. Valuing diplomacy and debate over brash, sweeping decisions. It seems, if nothing else, slightly more democratic. Politicians are debating because they’re representing opposing ideas, which in turn represent the people that voted for them.

But this united front of idiot forces with slogans like m.a.g.a, take back control, stop the boats and doubtless others in languages that I dont understand, they don’t sit around and debate.

I guess what I’m saying is that what should have been the EUs greatest strength, is in fact, today, one of it’s greatest weaknesses. Unfortunately, being united for a terrible cause is more powerful than being united over basically nothing.

a Ewe away in Rewe?

we’re cooked.

The new-hotness of right-wing nationalism has basically no resistance from the floundering traditional parties. The bloated mass of politicians, fat from the gravy train of post-war Europe, are too inept to provide any counter to this.

I don’t see a realistic way to avoid this.

still a car, tho

Did I just get lucky, or is it really this easy?

Maybe a different way to think of it is, ‘why wouldn’t it be this easy?’. Is the gatekeeper here knowledge and skills, or is it just having capital to invest in the first place?

Personally, I don’t like to give anyone playing this game credit (pun intended), so I know what I’d say.

There’s no good argument for remaining on twitter. It’s just enabling, at this point.

Where I think that adage falls apart is that there’s always someone who is different. If it’s not race, it’s class, religion, ‘politics’, gender, hair colour, smart phone brand. While we continue to believe there’s benefit from separation, the inaction will continue.

the alternative to all this is the Windows world

you’re absolutely begging to be told about the world of penguins

“my entire city is nothing but rubble and everyone i know is dead”

no it’s just somebody else’s city, so i guess thats ok. no apocalypse here, move along people.

in many cases, they are intrinsically linked

Illicit origin? Wasn’t that the whole point of a swiss bank account?

it has 0w0 so I guess it’s fair game, but Im getting tired of seeing so many fediverse posts that take the piss out of people’s languages. I thought we’d be better than that here, tbh.

and next, uk votes in uncle nigel to say thanks for all he’s done

wym? you think it’s going to be more sane in 100 years?

What is wrong with you? You’re blaming the victim for not fighting back hard enough.

and yet cars that can exceed all speed limits are routinely produced, legally, without user adaptations.

I mean, they all had kids. They’re in no position to judge people for doing ‘dumb’ things.
