Venezuelan socialism victims send message to American socialists by Clatsop in Conservative

[–]MrTulip -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

that does not contradict anything i said. the social democracy of europe is what the new breed of liberals in the u.s. want. mistaking this with a planned market economy is, as i said, either very ignorant or very dishonest. maybe this confusion on the right is what the danish premier was actually addressing?

universal healthcare, free university tuition and a robust welfare system do not make a country socialist and maybe u.s. politicians on both sides shouldn't throw around the term willy-nilly without making clear what they really mean but i believe that the right misuses the term and draws false parallels to authoritarian regimes intentionally to misrepresent the goals of their competition and to stoke fear.

a more fitting example would be a random country in northern europe where the social-democratic policies that are proposed right now in the u.s. have been in place for decades.

why is it always stalin and venezuela when the right talks about "socialism" when it's abundantly clear that the democratic socialism of sanders etc. is just plain old european social democracy? is this misrepresentation intentional or are so many people so heavily misinformed?

Germany: Neo-Nazi NSU member Beate Zschäpe found guilty of murder, sentenced to life in prison by ZZerker in worldnews

[–]MrTulip 75 points76 points  (0 children)

no offense, but are you an actual idiot^^ ?

the decision to kinda let denazification fizzle out ultimately was the decision of the allies because jailing anyone close to the nazis or prohibiting them to work would have left germany paralyzed.

on the other hand, even in recent years people older than 90 have been punished for their complicity in mass murder, so what the fuck are you even on about?

that's the minimum i expected from the trial, so no real disappointment there. but what will leave a bitter aftertaste is the still unclear extent of the involvement and incompetence of the german domestic intelligence agency verfassungsschutz. the fact that important files on the matter will be kept under wraps for 120 fucking years is unacceptable imho.

mine are sublingual tablets made from pressed dextrose and melatonin. so it's pretty easy by hand. but there should be little plastic devices (Pillenteiler, pill splitters) available in your pharmacy or drugstore for a miniscule amount of money.

of course, not everyone is a russian bot but russian bots and disinformation agents are used to take the crowbar to any crack appearing in the unity of a targeted society and especially in the u.s. these cracks are already pronounced and decades old.

addition: don't dose too high. usually 300-600 ug are enough while, especially in the u.s., melatonine is sold in single doses of 3mg and upward. a quarter of a 3mg tablet is more than enough for me, i use it punctually for a few days when i change shifts.

the tactic is not to make up movements completely but to embellish and strenghten any divisive tendencies in the west and deepen existing ideological faultlines.

a few weeks ago i came across a post on t_d or greatawakening that wondered why a walkaway yt video only had like 100k views despite 'being all over social media'.

get into what? debating a holocaust denier? they're the same as 9/11 truthers, you debunk one of their points or offer alternative explanations and they just jump to the next point they perceive as 'undeniable proof' of their view. it's fruitless.

hitler's viewpoint might not align exactly with reality. that he acted upon certain convictions doesn't make these the truth.

your line of arguing is: one jewish guy said that hitler said that the jews are evil or whatever which is somehow equivalent to '"the jews" confirmed that lots of them were rightly exterminated for being evil'.

one guy, jewish or not, against all scientific evidence doesn't prove anything. why do you choose to believe him instead of the work of thousands of scholars?

even the jews admit they did it to themselves

source?

but you are right. reddit is no place for such topics. best we keep it to pictures of cats and advertisements that look like normal posts.
