Sounds like the good people of Brampton should at the very least stage some protests.

Are we talking about the same year that the richest man in the world gave a hitler salute for all the world to see?

You seem to assume that mergers and acquisitions are not an essential part of a market economy. Left to their own devices, capitalists will always end up trying to form monopolies. You need a strong regulatory state to keep them in check. But then because they are inexorably pulled towards maximizing profitability, they will try to capture the state and deregulate. So, unless you go to a very aggressively anticapitalist set of policies a market economy will never be “functioning” for long.

Best kind of Portlandia vibes.

Nothing serious, just walking down the national focus tree, while world tension increases in HOI4.

Russia is a genocidal gangster petro-state, led by a criminal wanted by the ICC, that should be kicked out of Ukraine, but credit where credit is due: the most recent era of great power military adventurism started when the US ignored the UN and international law to invade Iraq in 2003. So if we want to talk about who drove the world in this shit, the answer is clearly the USA.

If she doesn’t face real consequences she’ll do it again and people may die.

The point of the Latuff cartoon is valid, I just really dislike the smell of the word “westoid”.

At this point: sure whatever, leave me alone.

“Everytime I drive on the highway there is always some random male driver that tailgates me.”

When you read that, do you understand that “all men tailgate”?

Sir, this is a Wendy’s. You’re in a memes community and you’re demanding an empirical study with statistical significance.

judgment about a whole nation

Repeat: there is a difference between exists and forall. I’m not judging “all Germans”.

(I do have however very strong opinions about the German state, media, and political class, and its despicable laws, positions, and biases, but German official genocide denialism is a different discussion.)

In logic, there is a huge difference between existential and universal quantification.

Now, if you find reason to self identify as the “random German” that’s your own choice.

No, this is strictly shit posting and subtooting to vent frustration. I’m not going to make a bunch of random Germans into targets. I usually try to engage in good faith and help change perspective. Targeting people like that would be counter to that.

If condemnation of apartheid and genocide is divisive, then maybe that’s a useful division to bring to the foreground. I don’t understand what it is that you see as the problem here. Can you explain?
