@yupyupyupss@TheOmniLiberal The abolishment of capitalism, abolishing the police, the green deal, their migration policy. Any of these actions are worse than anything Trump and his puppets did over the last years.
@TheOmniLiberal Now the BND might not be a supreme intelligence service, but they are serious usually. And they estimated in 2025 that lab leak is 80-90% likely.
It is not "out there", but it is a possible scenario for sure.
@DarinBashaw@WHE_Reborn@ContraPoints That's how sex works for you? She says no, won't let you come in. You have to break and enter, while shitfaced and fuck her while she screams 'no' and asks you to leave? In the mood? Really?
@DarinBashaw@WHE_Reborn@ContraPoints I love seeing rape apologia on the left. You see, it is not rape if leftist do it. Its just a snuggle struggle! Secretly she was asking for it. Who knows how the relationship dynamic is.
Here a few arguments I heard from conservatives a few years ago. It looks like you can use em
@ilikecheese255@TheOmniLiberal The Prussian flag is however a nationalist symbol for heritage. It is not common, but it has its niche. The imperial flag is a bit more common, and also is used for heritage more often than genocidal glorification. The iron cross (Wehrmacht) is also still used by the Bundeswehr.
@ilikecheese255@TheOmniLiberal Well there is no new flag. Maybe that might be a good idea.
The Nazi flag could be a German nationalist symbol, if it had different treatment after WW2. But today German culture is not linked to the flag. It explicitly symbolizes authoritarianism & genocide.
@ilikecheese255@TheOmniLiberal Identity to do what?
Identity as in regional differences. Those are often agricultural communities, with regional dialects, with own cuisine, with above average religiosity, with many distinctions. Cant the flag stand for those and not the secession in todays application?
@Demon723@TheOmniLiberal What other flag could they use?
Assuming southern identity is real, regional pride exists and people want to show their distinct regional identity. How could they express it without looking racist?
@Jtfang23@TheOmniLiberal Sure, the implication is the regional continuity for once. There is a regional culture that is upheld.
There is an implication of terror state and massive guillotine killings with the French tricolore. I dont believe any French man associates that today with the flag though.
@SharkFactStore@TheOmniLiberal Its not an inconvenience, that is my historical understanding as well. The question was today.
Are people today flying the flag to demonstrate their support for racism/slavery?
@DukaLoncic96@TheOmniLiberal They werent traitors to their country by any means. You can levy any argument you want against Nazis, from barbarians to murderers, to any insult you want, but they were definitely not traitors.
Nobody in Germany associates treachery with the Naziflag. They associate the crimes.
@MythicalMagus@TheOmniLiberal Fair enough. I hold mostly similar positions with respect to regional or national identity overall. But the confederate flag today does represent some form of southern pride, or regional identity. Could people fly the flag and not have racism/slavery in mind?
@OokZook@CannonTROU@TheOmniLiberal The median househould income is $100k. The median house price is around $750k. If you include real estate there are more than 3,5 million millionaire households in California. That's around 25%.
If a quarter of the population is rich, then "rich" has lost all meaning.
@TheOmniLiberal Russia has become your boogeyman for anything and everything now? Russian disinformation is real, is active and usually sucks.
Americans manage to radicalize themselves all on their own, don't need Russian support here.
@TheOmniLiberal@WTSmith17 I wouldnt complain about his. You are fighting the crazy aspects of the left. Where does Warren fight any crazy Trump right winger positions?
Why is almost nobody on the right willing to call out the obvious crazy bullshit that is going on?
@Game_Cow@TheOmniLiberal Sure I wouldn't blindly believe it. Wouldn't if they were presented by anyone else either.
That's how leaks work, that's fine.
