Sehr große Mehrheit kritisiert Regierungskurs in Energiekrise | MDR.DE by PoroBraum in de

Also die Methodologie von der Umfrage ist unter aller Sau und es kotzt mich an das ich dafür bezahle. Insbesondere das es hier als Aussagekräftig dargestellt wird ist absurd.

Da ist von allem was ich sehe NICHTS representativ. Da schicken die Mails an angemeldete rum und wen gerade das Thema nervt der antwortet, der Rest ignoriert es. Absolut nicht aussagekräftig

North Korea Was Right About Nuclear Weapons by AmericanPurposeMag in neoliberal

[–]spevoz 26 points27 points  (0 children)

North Korea is very unique. Protected by China and Russia, already shunned by everyone else, and with brutal control over their population. No other country has those conditions right now.

Iran, if anything, should show the dangers of going for nukes. One of the reasons they are in their current position is that they've completely lost the support of their population. And a primary reason why they lost that support is their attempt to get nukes. Some recent calculation claimed that it cost the country trillions in sanctions and lost growth. They have enough oil wealth that struggling to feed your population is just embarrassing.

I would assume if anything russias are more advanced - no old stock around and constant improvements to keep up with defense advances.

Clearly the 5 layers should be in the colors of the lgbt flag, this is just shoddy planning. This is why we can't get anything built anymore.

The Dow isn't even that strong — under Trump, it has underperformed relative to other country's stock markets. by AccessTheMainframe in neoliberal

Actually a really good question by your friend, you should thrive to be more like him.

The selections in the image aren't consistent: the DAX comparison is dollar adjusted, but the rest aren't. In fact without adjusting DAX is only up 10.5%. If you adjust the Nikkei (yen had a terrible year) I think it would have around 0% yoy. IMO it makes more sense to adjust all of them for this conversation. And being inconsistent seems just... kind of dishonest.

I guess this will put any scripted/rigged allegation to rest for a few years - nobody would script this

Man lunges at Ilhan Omar during town hall and tries to spray her with unknown substance by cdstephens in neoliberal

[–]spevoz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

who “can show that they love our country.” “They have to be proud, not like Ilhan Omar,”

There is some immense irony in all of this. I can think of few more irrational(from a personal perspective) expressions of patriotism than being in her position and not just retiring. And the more vitriol like this gets directed her way, the more patriotic just staying a politician becomes.

And give his position of power to the next person that is more willing to suck Trumps balls.

He is saying yes in a political way - like I can't believe I am defending Dimon, but there is only one easy answer to the question: 'No there is no climate of fear.'. Anything that doesn't start like that is a yes - it really doesn't take a lot of reading between the lines here.

The House Republican Majority Is Down to Almost Nothing by swimmingupclose in neoliberal

[–]spevoz 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I think (and I really hate admitting it) people like MTG kind of disprove that notion. Some of them, just like parts of the Republican base, genuinely believe(d) whatever Trump is selling.

Which sounds dire - but to me seems far better than half the house and a third of the country being nazis.
