Beim ersten Kreuzzug gab es schon Kannibalismus, wirklich Kulturwerte, wofür man kämpfen sollte... de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maarat_...

Wenn schon einer das Recht hatte, zu sagen: "Wien ist Wien nicht mehr", dann er.

Cruel and unusual punishment is a human rights violation, regardless of who applies it and who is subjected to it. Vengefulness characterizes the lawless enemies of democracy.

Musk is like a boozer who dislikes health and addiction warnings concerning alcohol abuse in mainstream media, and decides to get his info about alcohol from the barflies in his local pub.

He will be promoting knitting needles soon.

Ik weet niet wie hiervoor de specialist is, maar zou graag eens weten welke veren Europa bereid is kwijt te raken bij de handelsbesprekingen met de USA. Moeten we chloorkippen en genmais importeren? Of kunnen we nieuwe handelspartners buiten de USA vinden, en raken de isolationisten nu geïsoleerd?

Trump is the symptom, not the disease.

Scaring people into doing something they would not do if you did not make them afraid is called "terrorism", isn't it?

But where will all those women, who are pregnant because Planned Parenthood got defunded, have their babies now? Back to home births?

Nee, ik bedoel dat de VVD een partij is die graag buigt voor handelsbelangen, dus ook de wapenlobby, en over het beleid van landen waaraan we veel wapens kunnen verkopen (niet alleen Israël) willen we dan geen kritiek horen.

Ze probeert geen kiezers te lokken, ze praat de geldschieters van de wapenlobby naar de mond. Ik zie een verband tussen de grootte van wapenleveranties en de semantische rekbaarheid van woorden als zionisme en anti-semitisme.

But that is just my case, that Trump is not following the law, he is bending it. He will file bogus charges against the press; treason because they shared data on the ICE app, or Lèse-majesté because they refused to call the Gulf of Mexico "Gulf of America", whatever. Or endless SLAPP suits galore.

Look at this map. And of course Spain was fascist under Franco and Portugal was his ally. So almost all lived under it.

@joanne054.bsky.social I am in the middle of translating a Spanish book about José Antonio Primo de Rivera and the Falange after the Spanish Civil War, but of course, I don't have a clue.

I hope you do not mind that I posted this image in Reddit sub "aged like milk".

I must admit that our high school final history exam has different focal points every year, and in my final year these happened to be "The United States of America in the years 1917-1949" and "Developments and events in Dutch history in the years 1940-1949" (WWII and Indonesian War of Independence).

After all, it was invented in Europe, I'm sorry to say.

Because in Dutch schools we actually learn a lot about other countries. And history teaches us that many horrible actions were sanctioned by law. Trump has pushed the SCOTUS over the tipping point to the right and you have Pam Bondi as attorney general. Need I say more.

Trumped up charges. Pun intended. But not funny. You know law can be perverted.

Unfortunately, you can.

Maar "great again" is per definitie reactionair, toch?

Gerade wegen Quacksalberei und Esoterik hatte ich überlegt, einem Verein für Skeptiker beizutreten. Diese sind jedoch der Ansicht, dass das Studium der Psychologie weder wissenschaftlich noch faktenbasiert sei und finden alle Psychologische Studien eine Schwurblerei.

I want that vinyl flooring. And the tiles.

Another gap in my knowledge of popular culture bridged. Thank you!

Yeah, I thought #5 was Hannibal, who is Jason?

Zoals Yanis Varoufakis destijds over Hillary Clinton zei: "Anyone who actually celebrates watching the mutilation even of an enemy in my mind is a dangerous person." Er is hier (nog) geen sprake van "watching the mutilation", maar het komt in de buurt.
