    They're currently swinging between those two points.

    Also doesn't help that they are in a coalition with the conservative CxU in the federal government and are constantly getting browbeaten into retretating from already watered down positions. That said, in some states, the SPD is doing an alright job, whereas in others they are straight up trash. In Lower-Saxony the SPD Minister of Interior, Boris Pistorius, suggested outlawing anti-fascist groups.







  • From our windows we watched Dresden burning only a short distance away. For us it was an exhilarating sight. The whole horizon was aflame, and our dormitory was lit as if by daylight, except the light was red. We knew that the Allies had bombed Dresden. We stood at the windows all night, delighting in the spectacle. To us it was proof that the end of the war and liberation could not be far off. - concentration camp survivor Eva Benda

    The most deserving imo are the Cuban doctors that have and are helping people around the third world including Italy. As it is the Nobel Peace Price tho, it'll go to some random fuckhead. Maybe they'll give it to Joschua Wong or someshit

    This is soo beautiful, PhilosophyTube vids were always a joy, I especially loved Abigail's Cosmonaut character, which tugged on me heartstrings. I sincerely do hope that she will find all the beautiful happiness in the world. :cat-trans: :trans-ferret:

    tomainTrust God, Fuck 12 - just like Dale Earnhardt

    We actually know precious little about Dale's politics, but he *did * oppose the Confederate Flag, which in a world like Nascar actually counts for something. While he was tough as nails on the race-track, he was a pretty decent man off-track and his son Dale Jr. is from what I've seen also a stand-up guy. Nevertheless, Dale Earnhardt was and still is the prodigal son of the South, and a working-class hero with many qualities we would assign to the 1920's rednecks fighting their bosses.

    Also, I absolutely enjoy leftist Dale Earnhardt memes








  • Since we do know very little of Dale's politics other than his (and his son's) opposition to the Confederate Flag, it's a meme for the most part. Nevertheless, as another user already pointed out, we can pretty confidently say that The Intimidator was a pretty good bloke off-track and with his standing in the South as basically 'Redneck Jesus' may as well cement him as a working class hero.
