Having the Red Army located in Eastern Germany surely also helped make the prospect of revolution go from specter to reality.

Sorry for deadnaming, but I've never once typed this site's name as "hexbear.net". The Chapo.chat domain is just so ingrained in my head / fingers.

That type of voter is one of the main reasons why Trump won in 2016. They all recognized his name from his TV-show and vaguely remembered having positive feelings at that time, so he must be the right choice.

This is why harder than I thought it would be, mostly because the text-boxes take up a massive chunk of the screen. Particularly the Central African Republic somehow takes up almost the entire middle part of the continent. Any tips on how to move them?

I feel like this was a bad weekend to log-off, given that I have litterally no idea why so many moderators (who've been largely doing very well) are acting like they've betrayed the revolution.

No idea why people are offering resignations when it's a complete non-issue. This is like offering to resign from your job because you accidentally made the coffee wrong in the break-room.

Didn't Biden litterally say, while President, that being Middle Class was more about a set of values than income-threshhold?

He also got suspended from his university for being too racist to chinese people during the Hong Kong riots in 2019, which is quite a feat in Australia.

I think that's just a liberal thing tho. My coworker is 2nd generation migrant from Turkey and when Erdogan was reelected last time, she went around saying "what will europe and the europeans think of us, that we're some kind of backwards inbreds?". I tried to tell her, that white europeans already think that anyway, and changing a conservative leader for a progressive one isn't going to change that, but I got kind of shouted down by the other people at our office (who were all white)

You can thank an entire century's worth of propaganda for that one. Every group in the United States that has asked for a better or more equitable society has been accused of being secretly communist / marxist / socialist / russian / chinese (those are all interchangable for Americans). And since neoliberalism has made the discussion of actual economic policy haram, people are left to only discuss the social policies (also due to the whitewashing that the State has successfully managed to pull off with regards to historical radicals).

I think the resident MMT-guy on here probably needs to take a little break, on account of his predictions that Kamala and the Dems would overperform the polls (as a lot of the republican donors had been switching to the Dems) and that Trump would lose.

based?

Tbf, it's pretty funny that their idea of an own is to put Kamala into what is basically purgatory.

Might actually be true, given that the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964 in july, and LBJ went on to win a massive landslide victory over Goldwater in 1964's november elections. The sheer margins that LBJ won with might also be why the republicans then went on to cater massively to the South to pry them away from the Democrats, since Southern democrats apparently make hating black people their highest political priority.

For added context, the LBJ to Humphrey dropoff came off the back of the Civil Rights Act, which permanently lost the democrats the South. So Biden to Harris is almost as big of a drop in support as the passing of the Civil Rights Act, except the Dems haven't even fucking done anything this time.

Also LMAO that the largest drop in support for the dems was the one time they did something good post 1945. Truly a satanic country y'all have there.

Surely the furthest from a McDonalds have to be in either Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon, right? Like there's so many McDonalds' in America that you'd have to go to a national park to find someplace that didn't have one.

He wasnt. It was someone from the Faroese Social Democrats, Danmarksdemokraterne, SF, and a guy who I couldn't recognize but then learned was either Venstre or Moderaterne. But I did google them and they were all members of parliament and AFAIK none of them were in government (the people, not the parties).

Oh it's not just the journalist / vermin. I was on a flight with a couple of politicians and overheard their discussions at the gate. They were all talking about the horrors of Gaza, while also saying that Israel had killed 18.000 HAMAS members (back when the casualty count was believably around 40.000). These weren't junior MPs either, but party bigshots from some of the non-junta parties.

Somehow propaganda doesn't happen here and Danish State Media is totally trustworthy, anyway time to interview the correspondant in Tel Aviv, who is mysteriously allowed to continue broadcasting.

Totally agree on PET being incompetent idiots, but when has the American Empire ever demanded that the comprador intelligence agencies be good at their jobs? They mostly just have to be loyal and willing to shed blood upon command, which both the Danish and Baltic services have shown themselves as.

If the Yanks have anything to say, the Danes and the Baltics will be given massively important roles in this service, since we are among the most Yankee-brained people in Europe, particularly our elites. Like, wasn't Claus Hjort Frederiksen almost arrested for more or less bragging that he had ordered the FE to bug Merkel's phone?
