Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

Stunning! An 8-hour time-lapse to show the Earth is rotating while capturing the Milky Way.

A quick thesaurus of MAGA slurs for those having a hard time following...

"DEI Hire" = N-word
"Globalists" = Jews
"Woke" = Won't allow you to be a bigot
"Dictator" = the opposite of an actual dictator
"Palestinians" = Palestinians (apparently it's okay to be openly racist against Palestinians)

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

A team of archivists have recreated the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) website from before it was purged by US President Donald Trump, hosting it in Europe!

They have all given up their alliance to America and turn to Russian agents Trump and Musk.

Money & power is one a hell of a drug.

The entire town has come out to protest JD Vance and reports indicate he’s been either run out or forced to go into hiding. #3E #EndImpunity #StandWithUkraine

Defending Europe without the US: first estimates of what is needed Europe could need 300,000 more troops and an annual defence spending hike of at least €250 billion in the short term to deter Russian aggression

you're creating a straw man, I never said there was *no*influence, and you never responded to the question of German agency. It's not balck-and-white. I'm up for a good discussion where we can legitimately disagree, but I'm not going to bite on personal insults. Good luck to you. Over and out.

Easy, cowboy, no need to get personal. Left doubled their share, BSW got 5%. Populists on the left. You're going to black-and-white. Never said the US had zero influence. You're the one taking agency away from German voters and giving it to the US. There may have been influence, but not decisive.

Listen I hate Musk and Trump as much as the next guy but they’re not all-powerful in other countries.

Economic downturn, large parties who are unattractive and don’t even try to represent large swathes of the population, excessive migration, fear of war, high cost of living, terrible candidates from CDU, SPD and Greens, massive social media disinformation, and a lack of political education in youth

I do indeed. Do you? It was you who called it the Musk Effect.

23.02.2025 19:47 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I don’t believe Musk was the reason, there are democrats in Germany without it being resistance to Musk.

Bit of a US-centric view. Firewall against AfD far predates Elon's foray into politics.

Brady Tkachuk is the quintessential American hockey player, in that he’s incredible talented, seems like a nice guy, but ultimately I hate everything about him, most importantly his hubris and general existence πŸ˜…

Wow that was the worst O Canada I've ever heard. Off key and messed up the words. Wonder if US organizers did that on purpose

Americans Are Heading for the Exits Go ahead and roll your eyes at those who want to emigrate amid Trump’s second term, but it’s a worrying trend.
