Eh. Biden can just go out and have 4 of the 9 Supreme Court judges killed institutionalized, right?

I don’t understand. I’ve never seen any angels. Am I still enslaved by them?

Palästinenser sind halt als Gruppe insgesamt zu homophob um sie nicht zu unterdrücken zu müssen. /s

Das habe ich ganz sicher weder gesagt noch gemeint.

Über “Höcke & Greta” komme ich nicht so ganz hinweg. Ich gebe zu, ich habe Gretas Gebahren nicht so besonders stark verfolgt, außer der Sache mit dem Oktopus-Plüschtier im Gruppenfoto. Aber dass das zwei sehr verschiedene Menschen mit sehr verschiedenen Motivationen sind, die nicht in einen Satz gebogen, finde ich dann doch.

Wobei das Familienbild in arabisch geprägten Ländern nicht unbedingt besonders viel derartigen Gestaltungsspielraum bietet. Ich würde mal annehmen, dass das auch Indikativ für die Gedankenwelt der Mehrheit der Palästinensys ist.

Bei westlichen Unterstützys gibt es da sicher abweichende Ideen.

Theoretisch möglich wäre das emanzipatorische Palästina sicher. Aber vielleicht nicht besonders wahrscheinlich.

That’s a terrible framing of the situation. The opinion (rightly or wrongly) is that cheap labour from poorer countries sets the expectations for employment costs.

Point taken, partly: It’s not just the wages (and the accommodation) that are shite. The work itself is monotonous and physical.

If labor costs increase that may lead to automation to taking the place of migrants. That would mean a low number high-paying jobs for the well-educated rather than a large number of high-paying jobs for the poorly-educated.

Migrants who stay for longer to some degree bring their own jobs and economy with them anyway — all those Polish delis the article alludes to have Polish shop-owners. Without the migrants, there’d be no need for Polish shops.

Brexit was a sledgehammer approach for people to say “no jobs should pay so low that you have to live a subsistence existence.”

Just as much as Brexit was a viable approach to addressing NHS financing, I guess. The EU never stopped the UK from enacting sensible social or sensible healthcare policy. But I understand some people may have been duped.

Ist dieser Spruch denn irgendwie eindeutig Ausdruck der Idee einer Judenvernichtung?

Zu meinem Verständnis: Jede:r, die:der diesen Spruch benutzt, könnte sich deiner Meinung nach auch menschenverachtendes Arschloch auf die Stirn schreiben?

Many in Europe openly worried that Britain might actually succeed and provide a blueprint for other countries to quit the EU.

What?! Nobody thought that.

In the last two years, 2.4 million people have been allowed to come and settle in Britain, dwarfing any such influx before. The government is now tightening rules, but for many who voted for better control of the borders, it has come too late.

Disappointment is palpable here in Boston, where Polish supermarkets and delicatessens inhabit old Victorian buildings and teams of migrant workers in high-visibility vests work the nearby fields.

Because those people would be better off if no one was working the fields?

If any Britons wanted to work for the wages that immigrants take home, those low-paying jobs would be theirs immediately.

Ukraine is not a NATO country, for better or worse. (It’s anyone’s guess whether Russia would have attacked Ukraine if they were a NATO member.)

BW ist leider auch dagegen.

Kann man sich nicht ausdenken.

Russia emits misinformation, Russia attacks through Interwebs, Russia employs espionage, Russia sabotages. But Russia has not performed a full-scale military attack on any NATO country. And unless they do, in the eye of any onlooker, NATO would be the one to start the altercation.

I think so.

On 4 September 2020, Veronika Munk published a video message announcing the creation of Telex.hu of which she would be the editor in chief. The portal would be neither left nor right leaning, and would strive to present the facts in an objective manner. Munk also asked the public to donate to the enterprise.

What would be the benefit of open war against Russia, especially if NATO were to start it? I see absolutely nothing.

There’s a lot of room for additional sanctions against Russia too. The EU is still importing fossil gas and nuclear fuel, for example. Countries like Cyprus and the UK can probably still freeze additional Russian funds. […]

Was ist denn heute mit den ganzen Doppelpfosten los?

So, I personally didn’t vote for any far-right party. And I suspect neither did a lot of the people in this community. That “collective you” seems woefully misapplied.

Is op voting for right-wingers? Else, I find the use of “you” a bit odd.

Welchen Sinn hat denn eine Altersvorsorge, wenn du literal nicht mehr auf diesem Planeten leben kannst?
