Send me bad puns. Good puns welcome too.
Passing authoritarian laws, bending the knee to Trump, breaking that one strike (I might be misremembering this one) and failing to address the underlying issues plaguing Canadian society (something something housing crisis). He’s a halfway competent liberal technocrat, but status quo politics are only going to doom (and are, in fact, dooming) Canada.
Then your president managed to be worse than narco terrorists. How does that feel?
Uh… I’m sorry but history is not on your side here
Trump and the GOP, among others.
Fascists? Moderating themselves? Not gonna happen. Besides, another couple of years of Carney fucking up and they’ll win no matter what they do.
I mean, hell, they can leave and it wouldn’t affect the city one bit, because their wealth tied up in NYC businesses won’t be going anywhere.
I mean, given that humans now cultivate them en masse they are succeeding given that the task is to reproduce.
then wash hands with “Israel is the only safe place for American jews. If they face problems in America, they should immigrate here.”
That is literally their pitch. Zionists want Israel to be the only safe place for Jews. Why do you think Israel is so chummy with the Western far right?
Yeah… smells like bigotry. Here’s Reuters on the subject: https://www.reuters.com/world/germany-bans-muslim-interaktiv-association-searches-properties-2025-11-05/. Notably,
In a position paper shared on the YouTube channel of the face of Muslim Interaktiv, Raheem Boateng, the group affirmed its support for the German constitution but rejected any state interference in its understanding of Islam. “We recognise the validity of the Basic Law (constitution) as the normative order of the Federal Republic. It is precisely this regulatory framework that guarantees us, as Muslims, the right to exist in Germany,” according to the position paper.
Now I have literally no idea what these guys do (though calling for a caliphate in Germany is weird as fuck), but DW is pushing a narrative here.
“We will respond with the full force of the law to anyone who aggressively calls for a caliphate on our streets, incites hatred against the state of Israel and Jews in an intolerable manner, and despises the rights of women and minorities,”
Holding demonstrations is aggressive now? Also he just had to suck Israel’s dick here. Also obligatory ban AfD first.
Me before reading the article: From the current conservative government? How many babies are they gonna sacrifice for this.
Me after reading the article: Oh.
Germany’s CDU/CSU-SPD government has approved a two-stage minimum wage increase. In the first stage, on January 1, 2026, the national minimum wage will increase from 12,82 euros per hour to 13,90 euros per hour.
In the second stage, on January 1, 2027, the national minimum wage will increase again from 13,90 euros to 14,60 euros per hour. The increase was initially suggested by the Minimum Wage Commission in June and is the biggest in the history of minimum wages in Germany, which were only introduced in 2015.
it’s indistinguishable from a lawless oligarchy.
It’s definitely an oligarchy, but “lawless” hasn’t been my impression of China, at least not any more than any capitalist country.
ACAB strikes again.
Obviously it’s hard to complain when this stuff is being used to protect Ukrainian independence, but man this shit is terrifying. I am not looking forward to Americans or Chinese getting their hands on this tech.
I don’t have one either, but price level would probably be a good place to start.
Wow, holy (not unjustified) China hate boner.
People are stubborn and will survive most anything you throw at them, but it won’t be pretty. Optimistically you’re looking at something similar to Argentina.
Most people on earth go day-to-day on about $10 per day per person. America, while definitely worse for the bottom quarter of the population than ever before, is relatively far from this.
Cost of living is an important factor here. There are places where $10 would be closer to $50 in purchasing power, so while America does have relatively low poverty rate dollars per day numbers shouldn’t be taken at face value.
Not the laws of physics, the laws of logic. Those are what math (and therefore the proof) is based on, and it’s harder to imagine those being different in the hypothetical parent universe.
They’re not pussies; they’re authoritarians trying to get political clout.
