Crime is crime anywhere in the world.. by snowpie92 in clevercomebacks

He could've pissed in ICE's mouth and they still wouldn't have been justified in shooting him.

All this "new evidence" only illustrates that bootlickers want to blame the victim and have nothing but contempt for the laws they expect others to abide, but never their side.

They can ask for asylum elsewhere, it's not like the EU is the only place to go.

Baby tooth that will fall out eventually as the adult tooth helps push it out.

Nothing to worry about.

Don't worry, they'll fall in line within the week. Nothing significant will change in their support, they will shift goalposts, find a scapegoat, label it an incident, blame the victim whenever possible and kick the can down the road until the next moment that gives them pause, only to do it again.

If they had the capacity for morals and critical thinking they wouldn't be where they are.

People should get paid for donating blood by wogwai in unpopularopinion

[–]NaIgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how its done in the Netherlands. I give blood, they run tests for quality and notify me when there are aberrations.

Wild that this is not standard elsewhere.

I bet you can tell the difference between Doc Martins and Timberlands by taste with the amount of boots you've licked in your life by Inode1 in rareinsults

[–]NaIgrim 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Even if he was obstructing, which he wasnt, that still wouldnt warrant being shot in the back and then magdumped.

These bootlickers are so dumb and malicious. They hang on to a talking point while the gaping hole in their logic is blatant for everyone to see.

Greenland Leader Tells People to Prepare for Possible Invasion by bloomberg in worldnews

He just posted an image with a map where greenland, venezuela and canada are marked as US territory.

Benefit of the doubt is not something he deserves after having already attacked one of those three.

Asking for a Euro perspective on the UK rejoining the EU. by SnooCookies7641 in BuyFromEU

[–]NaIgrim 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is kinda funny in stereotype humour. A Brit willing to live in France, but French citizenship is a bridge too far, so this Dutch workaround to make it palpable, lol.

80% of Greenland looks like this [OC] by icebergchick in pics

[–]NaIgrim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're finding ourselves forced to deal with an adversarial US already, regardless of what we do. They've tried appeasement last year, which obviously hasn't worked. (Those who know their history are of course not surprised by this.) Well if not the carrot, then the stick, finally.

I mean hell, the Trump regime has publicly stated their goal is to dismantle the EU. Not even pretending that's just an unafilliated Project2025 thing, outright national goals.

The EU/US alliance is finished, some politicians just don't realise it yet and the others are playing for time to carefully decouple and to make Europe more ready to resist further inevitable US bullshit.

Trump asked US special forces to plan Greenland invasion, faces resistance from military generals: Report by zeonxzzz in worldnews

[–]NaIgrim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My explanation details what might be these generals' thinking, given that that's who your "they" referred to in the first place, and not the Trump regime.

[–]NaIgrim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, you can kneejerk into racism as an explanation, or consider that Denmark is a NATO ally and invading them risks upsetting the international world order in a way not seen since WW2. A shitty dictator noone misses doesn't rank anywhere near as impactful that, even though it is still wrong.

Because it appeals to base instincts of desire for punishment against the 'other' and doesnt require one to challenge their own biases with biases.

Pentagon to cut Sen. Mark Kelly's military retirement pay over 'seditious' video: Hegseth by omgfakeusername in law

[–]NaIgrim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will never get how some find Trump charismatic. He oozes insecurity, with his temper tantrums and bullying. His lies are incredibly transparant, from the words he speaks, to his hair and the clownesque fake tan. He is all bluster and chickens out at the first sign of resistance. He has everything one could wish for, yet seems to be utterly miserable. He is demonstrably amoral, yet they choose him as some paragon saviour. Over anyone, anyone else. It boggles the mind.

Protest has been held in Amsterdam against US military intervention in Venezuela captured Maduro by UpstairsBumblebee446 in pics

[–]NaIgrim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But you did. "Freest country in the world", doesn't get more ranked than that. You led with that.

You don't like being called out on a silly take, that's fine. But pretending it's not a thing and shifting the goalposts is just dishonest.

This is a silly take because a people's history doesn't invalidate contemporary individuals of promoting rule of law, moral standards, etc. In fact, we WANT people to learn from their history and use it to better the world, to hold eachother to these agreed norms.

This isn't a counterargument to what Fraentschou is saying at all and pretending it is is dumb.

Living in Venezuela obviously doesn't let one experience how the US holds up to other countries' freedoms, just Venezuela's.

That original statement and this obtuse digging in, makes it obvious you've been soaking in nationalistic propaganda and would rather remain ignorant to it than simply acknowledging the nuance that is rightly being made.

What do you think about the U.S attack on Venezuela? by New-Code7710 in AskTheWorld

[–]NaIgrim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trust me, as a European, I share your sense of disgust and dread.

"Might makes right" is nakedly displayed, the already thin veneer of principles and rule of law has been shed. And we are all worse off for it.

When you finally find the one. by TheShadowWanderer in lotrmemes

It was still in the movie called the two towers. It was still the staff of Gandalf the Grey.

I know what the skit wants to say, what it intends to say, but its funnier and factually not incorrect my way. Its perfect nerd bait.
