And?

Legality had its chance…

For those not on the know, here is some more context:

Angela Merkel was a very prominent figure in german politics, commonly known as “Mutti Merkel” (Mommy Merkel).

A lot of people do look back on her cancelor period quite fondly and her criticism of Merz collaborating with modern Nazis (AfD) does carry some weight. Merz burned a lot of political capital with his little stunt, demonstrated by one of the most popular CDU politicians turning against him.

The AfD is also not as popular here as some might think when looking from the outside in and efforts to ban them are underway, they are already classified in parts as an extremist group.

Source: I lived trough the time period when she was chancelor in Germany and know how people talked about her years later. Take it with a grain of salt, this is a more personal perspective

This reads a bit like satire. Really good satire!

The “girlfriend-zone” is a word im stealing from this…

Shaving Creme might work, since there are no blades involved

Try to get one that is not to agressive for your skin, maybe on specifically for more intimate parts

Letting the mask slip, once nobody seemed to be looking…

Religion. Not even once

It is in the supply chain, but there is something on the horizon:

EU - CS3D

This is an actual EU regulation with some very good parts in it. This surely wont solve everything, but it creates precedent and can be given more teeth to bit with in the future.

No idea, but I notice it too

Just blocked and reported an account and the single shill-post it produced. Not sure what to do about it, maybe we need more mods

Do it

Just like a regular brand one, because this is just an upsell on an otherwise mediocre product.

Its like an overpriced skin for a hero you never play

Das wäre ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung

Jetzt noch den Mindestlohn mit einem automatischen Inflationsausgleich versehen, damit das nicht jedes Mal ein Kampf um ein paar Centbeträge wird, oder FDP und Arbeitgeber blockieren können.

They ARE the cancer, so its just self-preservation

The only moral abortion is my abortion

Never forget that conservatives think when push comes to shove, they will be exempt from following the rules of suffering they created. As long as it is not themselves or a loved one suffering, they will never care.

Also important: A lot of conservatives see women like pets, whose reproductive freedom is something they decide for them. You would never consult your dog if you bring them to vet for a sterilisation after all, and why would you? Objections of your pet would just get in the way of your decision. For republicans, the only difference between a dog and a women is that one cant, the other shouldnt allowed to vote.

In the end, like always, conservatism is antithetical to happiness and progression of the human race.

There is a pretty good reasons why shopping local is better in the long run:

The money you put in stays local in large parts or entirely and keeps the comminuty alive, paying peoples jobs, who in turn pay other people once they buy local.

Large companies siphon the communities wealth away until there is nothing left, before closing shop and running of to the next victim, leaving empoverisht people behind.

The effect is compounding. The more local shops close, the more other jobs dissappear and the less people have. Then they are forced to move away or buy less in general. Other firms cant hold their workers and have to cut down wages, or let people go due to reduced business operstion because no one can afford their services, continuing the spiral.

At the end of that process, all you will find are dollar-stores and junkfood-chains in your area. It happened a few times already and the effect is well understood.

TLDR: Shopping local is good for the community, buying everything online is siphoning money away from it instead.

The only risk of war is coming from China, like all things Taiwan

For a lesson in what happens when you trust dictators or authoritarian countries in regards to security:

Maybe take a look at Ukraine to get a clear picture of what is in store for you, if you lack defensive capability…

If it only was JUST the use of concrete…

In China, real-estate and owning a home is a big show or success in life and therefore highly desirable.

Over the years the construction sector ran rampant, building homes faster then they could be sold by banks to bidders. A lot of these homes are so shoddy, they are starting to fall appart while people are living inaide them (google “tofu-buildings” and see for yourself, its horrific).

With high ammounts of corruption and in-party dealings, China continued to overbuild, using up massive ammounts of concrete on buildings with the lifespan of an average laptop. If they would build highly efficient buildings to house the massive population with high quality and affordable rooms, that would probably justity the high us of concrete and material.

But they are not…

And here we are now, locked in a perpetual cycle of building and breaking stuff, because a lot of finances and political positions are entwined with constructionnand lland-dealings.

The CCP could intervene, they are the fake-communist authoritarian rulers after all and their word is law. Im just not sure they want to. Or know how.

There is currently a massive movement against the far-right in Germany

Revently a meeting was leaked, where the AfD went just mask-out-the-window and openly talked about deportation (They call it “Remigration”) of German Citicens who are the children of immigrants.

After that the vague threats to society have become tangible for a lot of people. Now an ever increasing ammount of the general public is turning against the AfD, who is further slipping into fascism as a reaction, prompting usuql fascist infighting and splitting.

Unlike in the US our judicial system is not quite as bad, but, with all things German, burocratic processes are quite slow. Also a lot of parties dont want to cooperate with the AfD in any regard, even the center-right (CDU) is having issues.

From the outside it looks bleaker then it is in reality, but the danger is still very real

Forcing someone other than yourself to suffer because of your morals is sociopathic.

An accurate description of conservatives who will, Im very sure of that, fight to never make this a reality in other parts of the world.

Just look at abortion or trans-rights to get peek into the right-wings barely functional mind on these topics. This will be all the same again, because they just hate you.

For a time now I heard that the UK is a dying empire, desperatly clinging on to a version long gone and being stuck in the past.

In wake of recent anti-trans legislation, Brexit, migration-panics and general declining lifestile, I tend to agree with the statement. The UK is falling behind rapidly, but instead of combating that with progressive policy, the embrace of conservtaive ideas like this will just accelerate the decay.

I just hope Scotland and northern Ireland can get out before its too late.

MAPs are NOT and have never been part of the LGBTQI+ Community

Thats like you putting on a lab-coat and strolling into an operating room, claiming to be there to do a surgery. To the confused look of everyone involved.

Its deliberately dishonest and a repeated argument to discredit the movement. It should be common knowledge at this point, but the right-wing never bothered with the truth.

Remember: Its always projection! The most pedo stuff is going on in the church and religious / conservative homes
