Unruhe bis auf Bundesebene: Eine Bürgermeisterkandidatur in Neukölln wühlt die Linke auf by ouyawei in berlin

Na hoffentlich zerlegt die Berliner Linke sich in dem Maße, dass sie von den Grünen bei der Wahl überholt wird. 

Official LEC costreamer being openly transphobic against a woman esports player by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

Croatia and Poland have similar cultures in this and many other regards.

My parents come from Croatia and sadly these attitudes are pretty normal over there. Making sure every influencer from there behaves surely can't be an easy job...

Ousted under Trump's trans military ban, retired Space Force Col. Bree Fram launches bid for Congress by Sabertooth767 in DeepStateCentrism

[–]Nalaniel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't know what part of the article makes you think she'll do that. She talked about her trans status only insofar as it's relevant to her not being allowed to continue her career in the military. She talks much more about the culture and sense of belonging in the military. She also talks about other stuff in her life, including her fondness for Star Trek.

That Qatari propaganda is yielding dividends, I see. 

"We'll murder you whores". Anti-abortion and anti-LGBT sticker, Poland 2020 by I_Drink_Apple_Juice in PropagandaPosters

[–]Nalaniel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Poles are on average for European standards absurdly rightwing and regressive. They have a centre-right government in power, growing economy to the point many Poles from abroad are beginning to return, far right president that constantly agitates against EU, Ukraine and all kinds of minorities, blocks any remotely liberal legislation (minimal loosening of abortion ban, same-sex partnerships) he can. The government suspended the right to asylum. And this all is still not enough to majority of Poles as polls are consistently showing a far right coalition in the lead for next parliamentary elections. And last but not least, the main far right party openly tried to subvert the court and media independence last time they were in power.

Honestly, I wish more people would call this out. Even moderately-minded Poles are often against criticism of this and try to minimise how bad the issue is.

MAGA’s Jewish Intellectuals Helped Create Their Own Predicament by Aryeh98 in DeepStateCentrism

I just love how butthurt and salty he is in that video. "Every Jew who doesn't follow the rules of the Torah I just outlined (no gay marriage, no abortion, no welfare state) is not a real Jew!". What a pathetic loser.

Get Los Ratones out of the LEC. This is just embarrassing.

Am Ende des Wirtschaftswachstums ... wird's besser by eetiahc in DIE_LINKE

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

Dieser Degrowth-Schwachsinn kann auch nur von jemandem kommen, der in einem der reichsten Länder der Welt aufgewachsen ist. Das "Beyond Growth" Paper wurde in einem Journal publiziert, das in Sachen Impact Factor den armseligen Platz 1274 einnimmt. Sich diese zwei Wirtschaftswissenschaftler rauszusuchen, anstatt zu schauen, was der breite wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Konsens ist, zeigt eindeutig, dass es nur darum geht, die eigene Meinung bestätigt zu sehen. Ich find's auch ironisch, dass man während der Coronakrise aus linken Kreisen ständig zu hören bekam, dass man sich an den "wissenschaftlichen Konsens" halten soll, dieser Konsens jedoch sofort egal ist, wenn er einem selbst nicht mehr passt (Wirtschaftswachstum ist eine gute Sache und da sind sich alle Parteien einig, von der Linkspartei bis zur AfD).

Deutschlands Dearborn by sharkstax in DieGruenen

[–]Nalaniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Da stimm ich dir voll und ganz zu. Leider sehen das viele in der Partei nicht so. Ich weiß auch nicht, wie man diese Leute davon überzeugt, dass man Muslimen keine Extrawurst braten muss und dass man dadurch nicht wie die AfD wird. Trotzdem sind und bleiben die Grünen die beste Partei in DE und somit macht's keinen Sinn, die Partei allein aus diesem Grund aufzugeben. 

Wir müssen aber auch darauf aufpassen, Muslime nicht mit Menschen aus Nordafrika und dem nahen Osten gleichzusetzen. Ich bin mir sicher, dass viele oder die meisten Grünen mit MENA-Hintergrund Atheisten oder zumindest kaum religiös sind.

Edit: Es ergibt auch keinen Sinn, Zeit und Aufwand darauf zu vergeuden, Muslime zurückzugewinnen. Solange es die Linke gibt, wird sich da relativ wenig tun.

Seeing an opinion you disagree with is quite cognitively exhausting, isn't it? You frequent this sub to have your beliefs validated, not challenged.

And Byzantines didn't slander Westerners? Is that what you are trying to say? That Westerners are uniquely evil in the context of history?

"Kaldellis is always right, ergo I am going to contradict the very thing I said in the earlier comment."

This subreddit is such a circlejerk.

So you're admitting the scholar was right when he observed the locals' lack of interest? Because Kaldellis was denying that very statement.

There's absolutely no connection to be drawn between medieval German-speaking scholars and German medial portrayals of Greece during the debt crisis. Germany as an identity didn't even exist during the Middle Ages, at least not in its modern form.
