I wish I could say I’m surprised.

It’s not Spain that’s pushing the EU, it’s Trump.

As a company, they’ve always been incredibly conservative, so for maybe the last decade or so, they’ve tried to fix it by creating characters that are an absurd progressive stereotype as a stupid by product of a committee with no connection to what they wanted to stand for, so they didn’t lose their reputation as conservatives among progressives, they pissed off conservatives by adapting to the woke agenda and along the way making some absolutely infamous products, yes Star Wars I’m looking at you

Well, in 1933 when the NSPD came to power they had 43% of the seats in parliament (I haven’t found the percentage of the total votes but I imagine it was much less). That did not prevent them from repeating the elections at the end of that year and getting more than 90%, you can imagine how.

Even a part of popular culture accepts that they came to power by winning elections and the German people feel and felt the shame that they came to power by democratic means, which is only half true.

I feel sorry for the American people, but they elected this team under the same rules of democracy as their previous presidents. To claim now that his election was not democratic is to distort the facts.

go woke go broke, no wait…

The level of ultra-capitalist dystopia in the USA is incredible

Yes, I guess that is part of the problem, in Spain hoteliers prefer to scam tourists with products of inferior quality compared to what we really eat than to gain fame and repercussion. I don’t know if that was your case, or where you were, it varies a lot from one region to another, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

I understand the context of Luigi and his censorship on Reddit, but what about the bee movie? I’ve seen a couple of out-of-context mentions about this and I don’t know what the topic is about.

How can you put Spain on the same level as Great Britain? Damn Italians don’t know how to make anything other than sauce with tomatoes and they think they know how to cook.

Liz Truss giving advice on power is a joke in itself

Zelenskyy is a shell of a human being, and so are Trump and Putin

You’re not criticizing things about Zelenskyy that are worth criticizing; you’re equating him to Putin, putting the aggressor and the victim on the same level, and you do it with the obvious intention to minimize Putin’s faults. You’re not adding nuance to a leader or contextualizing things; you’re simply implying that the one who has invaded and violated a country’s sovereignty is the same as the one defending against it.

I’m not going to respond to you again because you’re making a fool of yourself if you think this is going anywhere. But if you wanted to have a serious conversation about what Ukraine could or couldn’t have done differently (Ukraine, not Zelenskyy, who has been in office since 2019, when Russia already had everything ready, not since 2014), you’d have to start by understanding that Russia is the aggressor, that Putin is an imperialist, and that nothing others do will change that.

Oh, come on. Fine, I’ll put it in writing if you need it.
The first step in the oldest playbook in the business says: if the leader you want to defend (or the company, or the country, it doesn’t matter) does something so obviously wrong that it’s indefensible, make the rival look the same. It doesn’t matter how, it doesn’t matter how much, just muddy the playing field.

Putting Putin and Zelenskyy on the same level is exactly that, and it’s damn transparent to anyone with half a functioning brain.

Trump’s friendship with Putin is not fresh news and American voters have not given a shit

In Iran there are also people who love democracy, but I am sorry to say that, just like in America, they are a minority.

Of course, sure, Zelenskyy, Trump, and Putin are exactly the same. My goodness, how could this kind of cheap, third-rate propaganda be influencing some people so much?

Of course, Zelenskyy is an evil ruler who hates his people, and that justifies a violation of his sovereignty and the annexation of their territories, because … well because … I don’t know something that blames Brussels bureaucrats, neither is that you strive a lot in the narrative

It could be, I’m not a military expert, but I have eyes in my face and I can see that they’re not capable of gaining air superiority against one of the poorest countries in Europe. Maybe they didn’t want to, but I believe they couldn’t. I see that it’s almost been three years since the Moskva sank, and there’s still no replacement in sight. Maybe they don’t want to build one, but I think they can’t.

Maybe I’m quite deluded about Russia.

That is the only way, to tell Ukraine that it still has real allies, that as much as the USA withdraws, we will put in. Any other option is to be a whore and pay for the night.

Of course, that’s why they’ve been able to devastate Ukraine without facing much resistance. They’re certainly not being humiliated, are they?

But let’s be real, there’s a big difference between being able to build tractors with a cannon attached and actually producing proper tanks. Europe has one capability, and Russia has the other—I don’t need to spell out which is which, the convoy heading toward Kyiv at the start of the war made that pretty clear.
