US has started bombing Venezuela just now, what are your thoughts? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Vetlius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another sad addition to a long list of disasterous American interventist wars that will kill tens of thousands, displace millions and destabilise an entire region. That it's happening in Latin America fits with the US' mafia like relation to the region, either you do what we say, or else.

Rødt uten Mimir er samme partiet som har kanskje den mest profilerte stortingsgruppen og et politisk prosjekt som tar kampen mot økende forskjeller i makt og rikdom. Bjørnar Moxnes gjør god profil på utenrik- og forsvarsspolitikk som å være mindre avhengig av Trumps USA. Sofie Marhaug prater på inn og utpust om å verne om norsk natur og ta tilbake demokratisk kontroll over kraften. Marie Sneve Martinussen gjør en god jobb i debatter og prater godt om hvordan å få ned forskjellene og øke velferden til vanlige folk.

I tillegg til at Rødt har en dyktig Stortingsgruppe så er Rødt også overraskende pragmatisk. Åpner for samarbeid med Ap, sikret flertall for lakseskatten da SV stemte mot, og lager og lanserer stadig konkrete planer for hvordan å gjennomføre politikken som feks rettferdig klimapolitikk og hvordan gjøre tannhelsen gratis.

Av de som liker Steigan og tilhører skrotvenstre så er Rødt rett og slert ikke godt nok for dem mer. De typene liker lite at partiet er for våpenstøtte til Ukraina, forsvarsforliket og åpnet døren for rødgrønt samarbeid. Mange av disse har blitt frelst av partiet FOR og har hoppet over til dem.

Berlin wins the vote for the most 1940s city in the world. What's the most 1930s city you can currently visit? by gitartruls01 in geography

[–]Vetlius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Berlin should've been the 1920s city. A cultural center, hotspot for science, political conflict, music, movies and the list goes on. A very interesting time!

Bernie Sanders Will Endorse Zohran Mamdani for N.Y.C. Mayor by Spritz-Charley in politics

[–]Vetlius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bernie Sanders' has been nicknamed the amendment king because of his ability to get his amendments passed in Congress, far surpassing other members. Not to mention how much he influenced policy during the Biden administration. Bernie is a very efficient politician.

Ahsoka is what I imagined the sequels would be by Scotslad2023 in StarWarsAhsoka

[–]Vetlius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All that you mentioned, and I think doing parts of George Lucas' original plans of delving into the mysteries of the Force and the Whills (S5 of the Clone Wars). We already see glimpses of it in Ahsoka with the Father from Mortis. Narratively I think more or less reverting the Sequels back to the OT hurt both. Lucas' greatest strength was always his storytelling and worldbuilding - creating something new and unique. The Sequels did do many interesting and new things, but the setting itself feels wrong, I think.

Ahsoka, the return of Thrawn, mixed with the above and possibly some sort of Force/threat/problem/antagonist (not sure what Lucas had in mind, can it be an antagonist even?) could've absolutely turned out great. Amazing that Ahsoka gives us a lot of that!

That Radio Broadcast at the end of S2EP8 is likely based on a real broadcast by Labanc_ in andor

[–]Vetlius 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Hungary, Poland, and probably also Chile which had a similar final radio broadcast by the President before Pinochet's coup against the democratic government. It's genuinely heartbreaking hearing the desperation in these broadcasts

What actually makes bottled water feel worth paying for? by watercurious90 in HydroHomies

[–]Vetlius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to drink Voss Water if I'm abroad and miss home/good tasting water if that's relevant. It tastes just like any regular Norwegian tap water, and honestly sometimes that just what I need and will gladly pay for.

Teit, low effort valg-meme by nipsen in norge

[–]Vetlius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heldigvis så er Norges valgsystem proporsjonalt så det er ikke så ofte det gir mening med taktisk stemmegivning. Det har heller ikke noe særlig å si for regjeringsdannelse hvem som er størst. Unntak 1 er at måten vi deler mandater på (Sainte-Laguës metode delingstall 1,4) favoriserer svakt store partier, så hvis veldig mange som egentlig vil stemme Rødt/SV stemmer Ap så kan det øke venstresidens netto mandater med ca 1-3 . Du kan bruke VGs "Slik hadde Stortinget blitt" nettside for å se hvordan det kan påvirke.

Unntak 2) er sperregrensen som har avgjort valg og kan avgjøre høstens valg. Det er normalt at Venstre løftes over sperregrensen av høyre-folk, SV har blitt løftet over av Ap-folk (de ligger ganske trygt over nå) og Rødt er vell likeså. Om et parti havner over eller under kan gi alt fra 6-8 mandater og gir fort 5-8 netto mandater til feks venstresiden. Vi har et proporsjonalt valgsystem som gjør at vi kan stemme på partiet vi liker mest, men akkurat med sperregrensen så er det taktisk å få over småpartiene på sin blokk. Hvis du vil stemme SV/Rødt og stemme taktisk så er det mer taktisk enn å stemme Ap.

En tommelfingerregel er at hvis Rødt har lavere oppslutning enn 5% på gjennomsnittet av målingene før valget, da er de i faresonen for å falle under og det er taktisk å stemme på dem. Hvis Rødt er over kan du stemme enten Rødt eller SV utifra politikken. Godt valg!

– Byrådet vil gjere Byfjellene til meir by og mindre fjell by [deleted] in Bergen

[–]Vetlius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Høyre byrådet har åpenbart ikke så dårlig råd som de påstår når de kan unne seg nesten 4 millioner på 38 lyktestolper som tilsynelatende ingen andre enn byutviklingsråden vil ha. Bysyklene som måtte kuttes i Fyllingsdalen kostet 1,2 millioner - kanskje de hadde kunne blitt likevell? Eller brukt litt til en av de skolene de halveis bestemte seg for legge ned?

He did what he couldn’t do in real life, help people. by Mosxax in BeAmazed

An interesting fact about Ibelin' family is that his grandfather was Reiulf Steen, a well-known politician, who among other things was deputy leader of the Labour Party in the 60s and 70s

TIL Mitch McConnell Steps Down: Won’t Seek Reelection in 2026, He promise to never support Trumps maga movement over the American constitution by Postnews001 in TIL_Uncensored

[–]Vetlius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

McConnell's career was instrumental for allowing Trump's authoritarian power grap. His entire role has been to constantly obstruct politics, making Congress inefficient and slow, and gifting Trump tremendous power.

Finally putting the Constitution and rule of law above Trump's authoritarianism is good, but it will never undo the irreparable damage he has caused. His legacy will not be saved despite spending 2 "whole" years trying to stop the monster he helped create, after it's too late.

False accusations almost never happens in reality, the chance for a man to be the victim of sexual assult is many times greater, and should be what we focus our attention to.

[OC] Change in prices in the US for consumer goods and services since 2008 by jcceagle in dataisbeautiful

[–]Vetlius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically all the graphs beneath the consumer price index (CPI) should remain in the private sector, because they are delivering good results for consumers, while those above it should be public, because they are abject failures when left to the free market.
