  • rare in modern journalism.

    The Irish Times is a high quality source in fairness.

    The shinners and their ilk are basically Russian boot lickers though. They can fuck right off IMO.

    It's a pity because many of their policies are sound enough and some are innovative but this is a hard red line for me.

  • I think the main upside would be the mutual defence clause membership brings since NATO accession is currently off the table. This might be a sneaky way to get that in.

  • I believe, and I may be wrong, that they can say it on record in Congress and not get sued for it.

    I'm hoping they'll lay it all bare given that opportunity.

  • Huh. I thought whites would be safer than that in the USA.

    This is the third case of this happening to an Irish green card holder that I'm aware of.

    They've quotas to make.

  • Bookies are a tax on the poor. The lottery is too.

  • That was a cool read.

  • There have been 2,776 cases of intentional homicides and 3,290 people have been reported missing since the war between the factions exploded in 2024

    Holy fuckballs.

    Plenty of interesting stuff going on that she covers (generals being ousted, political infighting etc.).

    There's a bias there but once you filter through that lens the information is really interesting.

  • I feel like tulips are the next big thing.

  • Why do these people hate us so mu....

    OOF. OUCH.

  • Can you imagine the size of the counter-demonstration. I really hope this goes ahead.

  • The Nazis pulled a project 1932 immediately on taking power and absolutely obliterated every possible opposition within months of taking power through a wide variety of tactics. The gap between the Reichstag fire and utter totalitarianism was very, very short and in an era where information spread far more slowly.

    They never won more than 37% of the popular vote (though it almost certainly would have been higher had there been elections later on and before the war, we just can't know the exact amount as there weren't any).

  • Yeah there was plenty of resistance from various quarters it just got smashed quickly and wasn't coordinated enough. Born again Christians were vehemently opposed to the regime for example and suffered harshly for it. Obviously all the lefties etc. too.

    On the flip side the Nazis did win over a significant percentage of the population through the late 1930s because of how well the economy was doing, it just never went to a plebiscite so we'll never know the exact numbers.

  • Separate question.... How's the maple syrup wine? I used to home brew but haven't had the time in a while.

    And how are the hangovers from it? It sounds delicious tbh but I can already hear my brain screaming.

  • Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom.

  • It's probably easier than you think. First you find billionaires. That's it.

  • Lower your blood pressure on one hand and raise it with the other. A perfect balance.

  • I don't think I've ever seen those in the shops. Do you pickle your own?
