Some context from someone who lives in germany:

VW has for quite a while now failed to read the writing on the wall and join in on the growing market for electronic cars. All the while getting subsidies from the german government.

Now they cant compete anymore and even their regular cars are way to expensive for a lot of germans to buy. And the chinese manufacturers are pushing them even further out of a market they failed to enter by refusing to innovate years ago.

A lot of this reads over here like hostage taking: They want more subsidies for their failing company model, or they leave the country.

I just read the comment section on this very much christian-oriented article.Pretty fun to see these some smoothbrains squirm while getting beaten at their own game.

At least until you realize that these “pro-lifers” will just let you die for their own satisfaction and are, by all accounts, the enemy of every single women on the planet.

Im glad you posted this, but no both-sides smoothbrain will be convinced by it, since they are either lost on the plot, a bad faith actor, or unable to engage in real world politics.

Still saving it, just to have one more post to bash them over the head with.

Climate Change is fascisms ultimate enemy it can never hope to overcome.

There is no single person responsible for it that you can hunt down to stop it, no minority to blame it on and you are part of the problem yourself. No giant battle to be won, no glory to be had and not a single heroic death in sight. Its boring right until it kills you, burns your house down or floods yout city.

Ir requires systemic change of structures, a scientific approach to the problem and doing something good for people who will never thank you for it.

It requires collective effort as a species, which no fascist will EVER be able to think possible.

Im saving this post in case some smoothbrain goes “bOtH sIdEs” again, or just to annoy the grifters a little…

I think this is a great example of how a conservative mind views the world.

They are never happy or joyfull, its always a struggle and you fight for an idea despite you hating all of it. The idea that your life is not filled by misery is alien to them.

At this point being conservative is just akin to mental illness. Destructive, depressed, delusional to themselves and others. If ever there was a real social contaigion, it would be this state of being.

South Koera is really bad when it comes to gender issues. There is a whole movement of women who are fed up with the sexism they face, called “4B”, rejecting males outright as a response.

Also notworthy from the article:

At the same time, a government think tank recommended that girls start school earlier than boys, so that classmates would be more attracted to each other by the time they were ready to marry.

If your solution to a terrible work culture and people not having families is “to make the girls younger”, you have reached right-wing levels of thinly veiled insanity.

Meaning it was legal for a price and until someone took a closer look

It is in the supply chain, but there is something on the horizon:

EU - CS3D

This is an actual EU regulation with some very good parts in it. This surely wont solve everything, but it creates precedent and can be given more teeth to bit with in the future.

No idea, but I notice it too

Just blocked and reported an account and the single shill-post it produced. Not sure what to do about it, maybe we need more mods

Do it

Imagine being so abhorrent a human you need rape and incest to continue your lineage

Fascists are literally unfuckable

I sometimes suspect the GOPs reason for doing so, is that once they allow abortion in these cases, their voterbase would dwindle even faster…

(This is a bad joke, but I would not be surprised at all, if some republican knows this is true and makes a logical, but monstrous decision, just to keep his hands a few more years onto power)

I cant wait for some conservative idiot to spin this in the worst possible way. Mixed in with some lies, whataubout-isms and straw-mans for a delicious disinformation-coktail!

First the removal of children from the CHIP programm and now this

I love to be reminded why having republicans in power is danger to humanity…

*intentionally

They ARE the cancer, so its just self-preservation

The only moral abortion is my abortion

Never forget that conservatives think when push comes to shove, they will be exempt from following the rules of suffering they created. As long as it is not themselves or a loved one suffering, they will never care.

Also important: A lot of conservatives see women like pets, whose reproductive freedom is something they decide for them. You would never consult your dog if you bring them to vet for a sterilisation after all, and why would you? Objections of your pet would just get in the way of your decision. For republicans, the only difference between a dog and a women is that one cant, the other shouldnt allowed to vote.

In the end, like always, conservatism is antithetical to happiness and progression of the human race.

The only risk of war is coming from China, like all things Taiwan

For a lesson in what happens when you trust dictators or authoritarian countries in regards to security:

Maybe take a look at Ukraine to get a clear picture of what is in store for you, if you lack defensive capability…
