In other words, they’re only interested in punishing the ones that get caught, and they’ll only process it well after it’s happened so they can just deliver a slap on the wrist.

By definition, you can only punish the ones that get caught.

I understand that’s what people need to believe.

Did you read the entire sentence “the British occupying forces in Berlin”

British. In Berlin.

Who do you think had lots of curry powder?

British invention anyway. Curry powder from the British occupying forces in Berlin.

Gern gesehen.

Well that’s the the point. They don’t want to take Palestinian refugees because they’ve attacked Egypt and caused various problems.

The point they are making is “we don’t want them, and neither do you, so don’t try and take the moral of high ground”

Israel has tried to give Gaza ti Egypt. They won’t take it.

That’s not the reason.

The reason is because Israel decided to squander any good-will they had by launching a massively disproportionate attack. Public sympathy was with them for while.

This meme highlights the real difference between the gay rights movement of the past, and the modern “lgbqt alphabet” movement of now.

Gay people just wanted to be given the same rights as everyone else, and told is that they didn’t have much choice in the matter.

With the current movement, they want everyone to change their behaviour and the way they think about things.

You’ll often see criticisms of the modern gender movement labelled as “homophobia” but they aren’t.

They are two different movements and should separated.

I moved to Germany from the UK, and Americans here are almost always lecturing everyone on their bullshit politics, and cod psychology nonsense.

I wish they’d fucking shut the fuck up.

It will be like that, plus political posts.

Because people are addicted to spreading their political opinions like evangelists of old.

And they never think you mean them when you ask them to stop, becuse then other team is evil, and inserting their political opinions in to everything is their personality now. It’s tut only way they can get them likes.

Social media changed society and sadly, I don’t think escaping to the Fediverse can out run the political borest.

If human beings were the only intelligent life in the universe, then the difference between being wiped out by the sun versus the heat death of the universe is so mind boggling big, that it beggars belief.

So many - near infinite - civilisations could come and go.

Perhaps one of them would find a way to endure.

A thousand times this.

I’ve used this argument before arguing with hippies about “integrating with nature”.

Any society that isn’t on track to developing the science and engineering necessary for interstellar tavel is a dead end.

It’s a tragic waste of human intelligence to keep making the same bamboo huts indefinetly.

So some noble savage can live their lives on repeat for hundreds or millenia, and that’s somehow better than inventing an arc that can save every form of life on this unique Planet?

Bloody stupid hippy nonsense.

OK but then they’ll fuck it up worse.

Material Conditions lead them to that drug abuse

This is how I know you have exactly zero life experience, and clearly never given the topic more than a moments thought.

You call me dumb - but are you seriously saying that the only reason people become substance abusers is because of poverty?

Think about that for just thirty seconds.

Yeah, you should have told the homeless charity you just joined the truth about homelessness!

What a stupid snivelling American sophomoric bullshit opinion.

The bottom problem is drug addiction, not capitalism.

The top photo isn’t about what it’s like to fucking look at , it’s about what it’s like to live in.

And I can tell you that there is plenty of crime there.

New Zealand? England?

Nah man, there’s some crazy fucking Fuck Cars peoples who don’t even think parents of severely mentally disabled children should have a car.

There’s always absolute extremists, and they are never fucking silent.

It bothers me when they just do it in every sub. Star Wars memes? Star Trek memes?

There’s no fucking escape.

The annoying thing is these people never see themselves as the insufferable bores always taking about local politics.

It’s always really important.

It’s always that you’re a nazi if you don’t agree.

It’s just modern born-again Christians, who aren’t knocking on your door, they’re posting in your social Media.
