Anyone that says it wasn’t a Nazi salute is almost certainly a Nazi.
And it doesn’t even matter if it really was or wasn’t. If you make that gesture for whatever reason and you don’t bend over backwards to make clear it was a mistake or a bad joke or whatever and you don’t position yourself clearly against it, it doesn’t matter if it was or wasn’t a Nazi salute. Because the right (wrong) people heard you.

I just spat out my coffee :D utter lunacy
Maybe I should have let her watch the producers?
Nah, dive in fully and let her watch ‘downfall’.
No, not really, if you mean the votes on your comment - I didn’t participate.
I was just genuinely curious about the purpose of your comment. Would you rather people stop pointing that out or what’s the game here?
Let’s just say it’s complicated.
She’s a conservative and domestically that meant a focus on the status quo, infrastructure was neglected (digital and otherwise), a lot of privatization, stagnating social programs, stagnating wages and more.
Her foreign policy and her statesmanship on the other hand was widely respected.
There must be some insane degree of anterior pelvic tilt going on.
Is this fancy words for ‘weird butt’?
Yeah can we get rid of this stupid meme format? He made millions off of that.
“If you’re going to have a monarchy, it has to be a monarchy of everyone,”
What an utterly INSANE statement.
It’s sure as fuck echoing right now and folks need to fucking listen.
Not alone regarding to US politics, the whole world eerily feels in a similar turmoil like 100 years ago. Let’s hope enough people recognize the overture of the symphony of horrors that is attached to it. Let’s hope we can turn it around before the true demons of our past come to haunt us all.

I feel you, I had that happen once or twice myself. Reading back I understand how you got there, I phrased it rather aggressively .
You don’t have to explain yourself, I was just poking fun at the discrepancy of “no time for a stroll” and a rather prolific online activity, because a stroll in my definition is also not super time consuming.
Sorry if I was overstepping or being insulting there, that wasn’t my intention. Just wanted to make some fun of it. I usually appreciate a lot of your input and posts.
I am far to busy to take afternoon strolls.
Bro, you have 3600 posts and almost 30.000 comments in 1.5 years on this platform, I see you in almost any instance and in countless communities.
Please, take an afternoon stroll.
In Germany we say “den polnischen machen” - “doing the polish (exit)”
How does that not apply in the same way that US is seeking here against China with manufacturing?
Why is it OK for Europe to protect their jobs but NOT OK for US to protect their jobs? What makes Europe so special?
I am not informed enough to speak on that, I didn’t imply anything in my comment that would suggest I think that one way or the other.
The only thing I can say about that is, that with those tariffs the US is violating free trade agreements that were negotiated by the Trump administration themselves during his last presidency specifically with Canada and Mexico.
That’s one point, but it’s also a competitive measure. Australia has conditions that make them more competitive in things like dairy farming, wide empty and cheap land for example, that can sustain way bigger herds than most European farms, which allows them to sell the produce cheaper and still have a margin. Without some sort of regulatory measures this would ruin smaller dairy farmers in europe, because they have little to no way to compete with those prices.
Also those tariffs are a bargaining chip in the EU-AUS free trade negotiations at the moment.
Tariffs can be a very good tool to regulate prices or protect certain sectors that can’t compete the same way as outside powers in a global economy. BUT there has to be a fine strategy to it, otherwise you’re just kicking of trade wars.
In my mind it was because children are expensive, so high birthrates - less “free” income, means higher reliance on public services like transportation. At least here in Germany highest birthrates are usually low income, low education, often immigrant areas that would profit greatly from having a broader support from the public.
Can you seriously not see how this can be abused by Trump administration after news like ordering to retract the word “gender” from medical articles published by CDC:

Well now I obviously do, but like I mentioned, I am from Germany, I try to keep up with rapid-fire bullshit machine that is governing the US right now, but unfortunately we are also in a dire situation here right now. And I wouldn’t expect the whole world to automatically understand all the details of what is happening in our government right now, for example how terrifying and dangerous the last three days were for our democracy. I am happy to answer that for anyone asking genuinely btw. Hence why I was happy someone asked the questions that I had in mind while reading the article.
