Sure he does. Because the German “go-home-service” can’t find their ass in a brown paper bag without their big buddies from the US.

I don’t see much contradiction here. Actually, your definition of absurdism sound a lot like Nietzsche’s nihilism to me.

Isn’t absurdism actually a subset of existentialism? Last time I looked Camus at least was a prominent existentialist.

Partially here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero Note the contradictions between his alleged reasons to light up the city and that they’re all based on hearsay and not too convincing while the only fact-based argument states he wasn’t even in town when the fire started.

Yes, but when I asked an actual Albanian (another co-worker on a slightly adventurous job abroad) about the Albanian language and relations to other European languages in a friendly small talk he got rather angry and weirdly nationalistic. So I decided it might be healthier not to ask silly questions to anyone Albanian (very recommendable for most Balkan things!) and considered the Alban language as probably too dangerous to bother with. Retrospectively, I think he just didn’t want to admit he had no idea. 😅

Came here to say that. I intended to propose an immensely complex language that almost nobody understands and that is unrelated to any other family of languages. My choice was Hungarian or Finnish but Euskadi (aka “Basque”) clearly beats it. I had the privilege to learn some words from Basque coworker years ago when I was living in Spain for a while and I swear it is so utterly alien to anything I’ve heard, that it must be of extraterrestrial origin.

Fotzenfritz is an ultra-reactionary, revisionist, eight-winged concretehead. He can’t say “nazi” without mentioning the communists were just as bad, he can’t condemn a right extremist terror action without mentioning imaginary left-extremists hiding behind every corner. You can find this rhetoric in literally every sentence he says about political extremes. Merz is not half as moderate as he claims but a notorious nazi apologist and anti-democrat.

Fake news. Nero did not burn Rome. Nor was he actually crazy or fanatically prosecuting Christians. Nero was mostly smeared by his successor’s family who also happened to have him assassinated and needed at least nominal justification for their coup d’etat. Not even they caimed, however, that Nero set the city on fire. This urban legend mostly was spread by 1950s Hollywood dramatizations of “history”.

I honestly think it’s some weird plot to take humanity back to a puritanical society.

When would that have been? Humanity never was puritan and it never will be. The UK were and some hicks in their former colonies think they still are but humanity or civilisation are not limited to the area between Texas and Alaska. Actually It has barely arrived there.

What are you - paneuropean? Yikes.

I was an owl extinguisher!

The drone murders didn’t find much sympathy here but thanks to most of our media’s, uh… “transatlantic engagement” the topic didn’t get too much publicity.

Because wars are for the profit of the people, right? The people of Ukraine will be busy for half a century or more paying back the US already.

Aero… what?

Flying Goose Red Hot Chili Sauce is the only thing you need. Ketchup is for the weak.

Why would I say otherwise to justify? And regarding the softening, that’s no problem some meat tenderizer won’t solve, It’s not that you have to be rich, you know. Handing over the loot is not too much to ask, seriously. If you can’t find the irony in there, you might want to watch the same titled movie from the 1980s. I doubt you’ll like it.

The actual news is that DW parrots the German governments opinion. Which isn’t really news either. I dare say that the population in Germany has been “somewhat ambivalent” about the benevolence of US foreign politics for quite a while.
