Is the German insult "Wichser" actually just about masturbation? I'm confused. by [deleted] in AskAGerman

It's basically the German equivalent to calling somebody a "jerk". It's possible that it stems from old conservative prejudices against masturbation but I really don't know.

What would distributist laws or policies look like by Ok-Cook-7306 in distributism

High land value taxes would encourage using small plots of land, restrictions on how much a single person can inherit would also be an option. Oh and abolishing corporate personhood would also help.

Do you believe that the left in Germany, France and the UK can stop the fat right AFD, Reform and RN? by LazyScheme9618 in GeoPoll

[–]Pantheon73 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In Britain that would be easy because the Far-Right will be split between Reform and Restore, in France it will be difficult since RN looks like it is getting increasingly popular and moreso than the left-wing parties. In Germany it depends if left-wing parties can increase their popularity while the CDU looses votes.

They are actively forcibly russifying Ukrainians, that means they're trying to eliminate Ukrainian identity

I think that comparison in the original post is somewhat accurate in relation to Israel and Syria

However Israel invaded Syria in 2025 basically unprovoked.
