    I am Banned from .ml because I said it can be argued if its the right thing to kick hamas supporters who deny Israels right to exist from the left party of Germany but framing this as “genocide is no longer a red line for the left party of Germany” seems a bit populistic.

    Apparently that’s racism (rule 1)

    Don’t mind the tankies there, you don’t miss out on anything :)







  • Wtf. Hard to believe this is real… Do only certain far right private schools do nationalistic stuff like that or is it a common phenomenon over there, like are public funded schools allowed to do bs like this as well?

    EDIT: WWWWTTTTTFFFF

    " All states except Nebraska, Hawaii, Vermont, and Wyoming require a regularly scheduled recitation of the pledge in public schools.[13] Many states give a variety of exemptions from reciting the pledge, such as California which requires a “patriotic exercise” every day, which would be satisfied by the Pledge, "

    To be honest its a miracle you guys didn’t turn facist earlier with stuff like that.






  • The facist part is defenetly on Putin’s side. The problem is that its on trumps side as well (all be it a lot less produced as of now).

    You are fighting a strawman, I am pro supying Ukraine with weapons, I am pro having a European defense pact, I just don’t think USA is doing it for democracy but for own imperialistic reasons. The deals trying to get resources and power plants in exchange for support by trump are just one outrageous sign of that.

    And again: you are fighting a strawman if u say I victimize by US supporting Ukraine, that not the point. Yes USA isn’t intervening militarily in the EU at the moment, but not because they are an non-imoerialistic ethical state, but because they don’t need to. They have economic control of the region, they have cultural hegemony with media and tech companies and they have Orwell like spying institutions from which not even the highest leaders of eg Germany like Merkel or scholz are safe.

    Yes, the means they use to control us are far better because soft power Is enough atm, but its still control in imperialistic manner. This is not thaaat bad as long as the USA is more or less democratic and has similar norms and ethics as most European states but this is changing rapidly with trump.

    Everyone who doesn’t see the power grab of facists in the USA is blind and needs to read adorno IMHO.



  • You keep using this word, but I don’t think you know what it means. One can be In total support of Ukraine and clearly judge Russia for starting a war and breaking international law while still not be blind to history!

    If one wants peace one needs to understand geopoltics and imperialism.

    Sure its not OK by moral standards that Russia wants to influence sovereign states for their military interest. Sadly the world doesn’t (yet) work by moral standards or international law.

    One can criticize the imperialistic war of Russia, but one can also criticize the imperialistic economic and hegemonial control the US seeks over the region, those things don’t contradict each other.

    We have one facist and one nearly facist state fighting over their imperialistic interest, neither of them is doing it because of ethics or international law.

    We Europeans are the victims in this coflict of two imperialistic super powers, and even if one is worse then the other, both are far from perfect or even bothered in things other than their own interest and what they can gain and both can be criticized. this does not negate that one is using far worse means to achieve their special interests atm.
