  • "Basement with Supplies", Soviet poster, 1973

    Jump

  • So because Russian colonies still aren't independent, it isn't international? You're technically right, there is no national boarder in between.

    It isn't whataboutism to point out when one imperial power shits on another one for being imperial. If anything, the Soviet poster is whataboutism. And I upvoted the post because I agree with it, just wanted to give more context.

    Don't know about other Germans but for me, the last e is a schwa. So it's more [mɛɐ̯ˈtseːdəs] I think but I'm not completely sure.

  • This is true but the same can be said about Moscow's relationship to Siberia, or north Asia as some indigenous peoples prefer to call it

  • All languages have their difficulties. English pronunciation and spelling is a mess but grammar is easy for example. My native language has 3 genders and 4 cases for example and there are languages with more.

  • Monty Python and the One with the Whales

    Jump

  • But Klingons and Romulans actually are different. The Monty Python joke is that swallows are migrating birds so the difference between European swallows and African ones isn't a difference in species or at least individuals but season. They live in summer in Europe and in winter in Africa.

    Or am I missing the joke and Romulans and Klingons use the same ships for some reason?

  • Israel’s genocide for 40+ years

    Needless to say that the genocide started earlier. In terms of weapon supply, Germany was number one in the 50s until the US started to see the usefulness and overtook us by far.

    you will literally never convince me that it’s not the most important player.

    I never said that. The US is the biggest player outside Israel by all metrics. What I'm saying is that it's not the only player. I'm still convinced that it wouldn't be possible to the degree it is done today without Germany and many others.

    focus on the only one who openly calls for the genocide to continue

    But that's quite a few, including in Europe. In Germany, you can be deported for denying Israel's right to exist. Annalena Bärbock, the former "feminist" minister of foreign affairs, said that civilians lose their privileges when they are used as human shields and she's expert in international law so she knows this isn't true. She later denied that she ever said it after being elected into the UN which is even worse since there are records of that.

    The reason why I focus so much on Germany is that I happen to live there. There is no reason for me to focus on a government I have no influence on. I'm not going to protest a government on the other side of the pond and I have reasons enough to boycott the US already. The little influence I have, I have on my government. There is no use in finding the worst and ignoring the rest. There is more than one battle to be fought.

  • Germany voted for ceasefire and for making food a human right in 2024.

    That's the difference between killed children on 0 kcal per day and killing children on 500 kcal per day. A temporal ceasefire is no end of genocide.

    the US is fully in charge of the situation.

    No, Israel is in charge of the situation. The difference of the US and Germany is one of quantity and not of quality. Germany never paused weapon supply.

    It's not one single villain but many people who could stop it and the problem is colonialism and imperialism. We shouldn't individualize the topic but think in systems. Even if Netanyahu wasn't in charge, someone else would continue the genocide with support of the Western World, what ever that might mean.

  • I'm pretty sure, Netanyahu could have stopped it as well or other people in Israeli government. Also, while the US is the largest supplier, it's far from the only one. The second largest is Germany and the whole German political establishment is Zionist, including the Green Party and parts of The Left. Since the genocide, there have been 2 government coalitions and in total 4 parties each of them could have vetoed German weapon supply.

    I'm not saying Biden or the US are innocent but it's not only them. Israel is part of the broader Western imperialism.

  • I think they are talking about Gaza. Biden didn't start the genocide there but without US weapons, it wouldn't be possible
