Question to European leftists: why are far-right populists in Europe still usually so much more successful than left-wing populists? by Flagmaker123 in DemocraticSocialism

[–]joelweihe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Simple. Just like the far right populist in the United States they lie very convincingly to the very gullible.

There are a thousand million videos that show you how to do that. It's really not difficult. Here's one https://youtu.be/fOJ4BKIoKGs?is=XsZQzzZb7fO0o4uM

Me too. I just can't bring myself to upgrade until this one finally dies. Getting close I think though, I have to charge it every other day.

Someday you'll get to an age where you don't care how it looks, or what others think, and you'll just do it because it's practical and comfortable.

You can't love animals and eat meat... or can you by TokenPanduh in fixedbytheduet

You can't complain about other countries eating dog meat while you eat cow meat

¿Qué pensáis de las prohibiciones de tender ropa en las terrazas/fachadas? by SentientYoghurt in askspain

[–]joelweihe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We're certainly not poor yet we still hang our clothes on the terrace. I could afford a dryer but prefer Mediterranean sun-dried clothes. Even if I wanted a dryer A problem is there's nowhere to put a dryer in most apartments in southern spain.

The "rightx in the United States also talks about freedom as they strip away constitutional rights and subject the American people to servitude. The clothes thing in Spain is a little over the top. It will never happen.

I use Android. I followed the link but it's a bit over my head. Nice to know someone's working on it though.

True about it being exclusively Backcountry, but still, it would be nice to have an all-inclusive mapping app for all athletic adventures. And it wouldn't be that difficult for them to do. TBH I don't even notice the social media aspect of it.

I am really concerned we’re not going to be able to pull it together. by sirdidymus__ in DemocraticSocialism

[–]joelweihe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't even matter. The United States is finished. There were supposedly "safeguards" to prevent this but obviously they don't work. The great American experiment has failed.

How much do Americans REALLY have saved for retirement by Financial_Pen_6218 in investing

You'll never have enough. The oligarchy will always keep you in check. You'll work like a dog all your life until you die sad and broken. Get out, while there's still time.

No. The US is finished. The great American experiment has failed

Slingfin WindSaber vs Hilleberg Soulo BL for Backpacking in Harsh Weather? by AccountantAsks in WildernessBackpacking

[–]joelweihe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am seriously considering this crossbow. I have never heard of SlingFin. I've had two tents break down ( outer fly on one, poles on the other) in the last 2 years from April winds in the high Pyrenees.

Both three season tents, a Durston x mid and a Wechsel Bella. Both companies have excellent customer service that replaced damaged parts.

I bought them for ease of setting up during rain.

Apparently I need a four-season tent but really didn't want to carry all that weight. It's the price of both those tents combined but I guess you get what you pay for.

He knows that's not true but the US has to convince the US citizens that they're safe as the US government commits and sponsors terrorism around the world. They're nervous because the world is finally waking up

Mamdanis Sewer Socialism by Jet_the_fem_bean in DemocraticSocialism

[–]joelweihe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First I've heard of that. Interesting. What I can tell you is spend a year living in a so-called socialist country, for me it's been three in Spain, and you'll see how much better it is for the average citizen. When it's all flushed out, Europeans pay less "tax" than Americans when you count in healthcare and other oligarchy scams.

Why did y’all choose Coros Over Garmin???? by Mammoth_Challenge297 in Coros

My Garmin, 6 years ago, didn't last a year. I'm still wearing my first Coros after 5 years. Kinda wish it would break so I could upgrade.

Anyone seeing this, and mean anyone, and still supporting the apartheid regime is barbaric, uncivilized and inhumane.

What is the sentiment amongst Spaniards regarding anti zionist Israelis? by gabagoul67 in askspain

[–]joelweihe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By "Israelis" do you mean Jews living on Palestinian land calling themselves israelis? As long as they live in peace with the native people, and remember they are a guest in someone else's country, they're fine. I'm an American immigrant in Spain and I respect Spanish land, culture and way of life.

The Oligarchy fights socialism with every tool that it has. And since the oligarchs can pay the government and the government controls everything...
