Remember the first persons to be harassed, assassinated, detained, sent to concentration camps were german citizen.
The first who tried to resist Hitler’s power, sabotage infrastructure, retrieve and send confidential informations to the allies were german citizen.
A lot of germans were the good guys in ww2 (and afterwards for that matter).
Whatever the conflict, let’s not forget that [country X leadership] is not the same as [country x as a whole].

True. And so am I for letting them get awaywith it.

Our current government is openly pro-israel and anti-palestinian, we’re not gonna do squat.
They’ve been calling any criticism towars bibi and any palestinian support antisemitic for the past 2 years - and most of the billionaires-controlled media has happily done the same.
Even if soldiers are killed, it’s gonna be labeled a communication incident or some shit.

The people answering your requests are usually not the ones making the anti-consumer policies and they don’t deserve abuse. Sending unsolicited porn material is abuse.
Please remember that customer service is often a shit job with a shit pay that people do because they need a job to afford rent and food and don’t vent your frustration on them.

We still have DEI policies focusing on gender, disability and on socio-economic background (which does correlate with ethnicity in a lot of places). Of course in a lot of companies it’s mostly for show, but in some it’s done with a sincere will and has real effects.

Much more so than having a car-centric infrastructure. If you start cherry-picking you’ll of course find cases where a car would have been more efficient but public transportation needs to be understood as a whole.

I still believe there are democracies in America but the US of A aren’t one of them.

Pleasedo, maybe this way the wine lobby in france is gonna have a bit less money and we’ll get some less pesticides.

Just finished rereading Priory of the orange tree before going into the sequel, and I loved it as much as the first time :)

I had never envisioned spacex as a climate change activist company!

TIL about article 5, thanks!
I really hope mimitary action won’t happen…

France here, our mainstream media is currently either billionaire-owned and pushing Trump and Musk admiration or publicly owned but influenced by our current government (Macron and co.) which does everything possible to cosy up to billionaires so they haven’t yet (and probably never will) called Trump a fascist or Musk a neo-nazi.

You came and died in France during two world wars in the 20th century but I’m afraid France as a nation isn’t gonna have your back in this timeline - except if we manage to elect a real-left government next time.

Good luck!

Not everyone has standards the same choices and history.

Fu -ish facts: bra is feminine, purse is masculine, mustache is feminine, boobs is masculine, dick is feminine, vagina is masculine, love is masculine when singular and feminine when plural.

Don’t look for meaning or logic, our langiage is a clusterfuck (that ot transactivists have been working at it for centuries and doing a great job).

Have fun learning and remember no native speaker cares if you misgender an item, we usually find it funny and/or cute ;)
