I didn't see it a "Germans were nazis" joke as much as a "Every country has its crazies, Germans do now care for theirs" joke.

It is indeed illegal, but unfortunately it still happens.

What did you say? 100% income and capital gains tax specifically for Kinjil Mathur? Where do I have to sign?

I didn't say "the AI would likely not draw clavicles", but "the AI would likely not draw clavicles with a portion of which was remarked below the clothes".

Biden managed to get a bunch of unions to endorse him for the elections, both due to negotiations and his policy. Given that Kamala was in his team, the only thing she needs is the will to declare that she will continue along Biden's lines.

Call me naive but I don't trust AI to currently have the smarts to draw those clavicles under the clothes.

This is unironically good for Kamala's chances. The average person in the US is racist, but not racist enough to not to feel second hand embarrassment from such overt comments, which may, ironically, make them a little bit less racist and make them think twice before voting Republican in 2024.

I'd upvote the meme if it wasn't also controversial to criticize all war criminals, including both those at the top and the bottom.

Edit: For a source, see people in this thread rushing to argue and feel called out when someone criticizes "all forms of imperialism", including the Western ones.

Note that both of these behaviors may be valid strategies, rather than ideological fervor. As members of the Democratic Party, Harris and Warren are somewhat expected to participate in team efforts; while Sanders, by virtue of being independent, should avoid being taken from granted, as forcing other representatives to negotiate with him gives him a bit of leverage to introduce changes to bills. There's a reason why he's been capable of influencing so much policy despite being an outsider.

So in Europe, it is standard govermental procedere to transfer 20% ownership of big corporations to employees? It is standard govermental procedere to have 45% of BoD elected by workers?

It is absolutely not standard in Europe, so have my upvote. Although there are exceptional cases such as Germany's, where large enough companies must assign a percentage of the BoD positions to worker-elected union members.

I'd probably put Sanders left of plenty of European social-democratic parties, roughly landing around the positions of contemporary left populist parties (Podemos, France Insoumise, old Syriza), perhaps somewhat distanced from Eurocommunist parties.

I hold no doubt in my heart that they absolutely hated this because they found her hot.

How would they react if they were told that they're using the colors of the trans flag?

 

For whoever is out of the loop, Biden has drop out and endorsed Harris, and this is somewhat of a catchphrase of hers.

 
 
 

When they send their golpists, they're not sending their best, folks. Terrible coup, actually. Top 10 worst coups, even.

"Notably, Chang's report claims that biological females develop earlier than males do, so requiring girls to enter school at younger ages will create classes in which the two sexes are of more equal maturity as they age. This, the author posits, makes it more likely that those classmates will be attracted to each other, and marry and have children further down the line."

(...)

"The report does not include evidence of any correlation between female students' early enrollment and the success rate of their romantic relationships with men. The author also does not detail specific mechanisms by which his proposed policy would increase romantic attraction or birthrates."

 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not agree to end the war in Gaza in exchange for the release of hostages unless opinion polls show it is politically advantageous for him, a top Israeli security official told the families of those held captive, a person in the closed-door meeting and an advocacy group said Friday. (...) “The Israeli government made a conscious and deliberate decision to sacrifice the hostages,” the Hostage Family Forum said in a statement Friday. “The hostages, and the entire State of Israel, have been taken captive by those who chose political interests over their national and governmental duty.”

 

They aren't trying very hard tho.
