  1. I'm not a German. But on the Internet I have noticed pretty strong support for the AFD from far right circles, especially alt right neonazis. I seriously doubt that these deep blue circles would ever touch anything remotely green.
  2. The elections defenitly have some bias towards assad. Just the way the booths are decorated is clearly favoring him. Obviously it's wartime, in this conditions Western-like democracy is impossible. But regardless its reasonable to assume that he has the support of the majority. It makes sense for the wartime situations, most vocal opponents have probably already either directly opposed him or left the country. I definitely wish most adbove all that the war ends. Be it assad or anyone else, the most important thing for economic and personal development of Syrian people is peace.
  3. He lives in Iraq. We westerners are spoiled. Weather you have Trump or Biden your power will be on, you will have food and water, the police will be there to protect your property etc. For him a radical political change like Isis takeover would mean that the power will no longer be working or that he might even get killed by radical Islamists. Being apolitical is a 1st world privilege.
  4. I'm not afraid of COVID. I got vaccinated myself to protect my family and wider society. Lockdowns won't stop until we vaccinate enough of the population, and the more people are unvaccinated higher the risk of virus mutation. Currently vaccines are our only tool that can stop COVID. Either we all vaccinate and end COVID, or we live with it.
  5. SpaceX gets so much public subtities, it's hard to call it private initiative at this point. My god, you guys won the space race with a public company don't you renember that? Trumps whole thing was about running the country like a private buisniss. It was a disaster.
  6. I feel pretty good after doing it. Maybe it's the nofap mentality guilt tripping you.
  7. I feel that there is some truth to this. The main problem is that you can't treat people like resources. Although capitalism sure as hell does this pretty often. But that's why I don't see regulation in this regard solving more problems than it would cause them. But is do feel that to some extend economic equality will help solve this problem too. That's why it maskes more sense to focus on those issues in terms of government and politics. A lot of incel-ness stems out of realities of modern world. Too much work, economic inequality and societal fragmentation. Allowing people financial stability, humane work hours and a society that has infrastructure friendly too socialize in public would surely help a lot to level the problem that we are talking about. Lastly on the topic of online dating. It's a bit of a cesspool. Letting private corporations take care of that is very problematic, exactly because it turns human into a resource that needs to turn a profit. The online dating market definitely needs to be rethought. I'm all in for the nationalization of platforms like tinder. This aspect needs to be regulated.
  8. Wow these are some pretty amazing historic artefacts you got there... Especially considering the personal story attached to it. Take good care of it, please consider taking it to some museum. I have no doubt that it would be important to your local Jewish community.
  9. I think there is some truth to that. Our society has in a way became more equal, women generally have a fair chance at starting a strong career. But in relationship our society is still very partiarcihiacal. Obviously if society allows women to get rich but still looks down on a woman going out with a poorer dude it creates a contradiction. I think that it's fair to point out this problem, it's real even if we pretend to be all nice and say it's not true. However it's important not to seek to reverse societal progress, we need to complete it. The partiarcihiacal view on relationship needs to end.
  10. Taiwan plays the role of an unsinkable aircraft carrier. In case of conflict, the US could competly block chinese access to the open sea. Because of this China will do everything to secure it.
  11. @iceprincess I often look at a message and don't respond because I'm distracted by whatever. It doesn't even have that much to do with interest.
  12. People in the 3rd world would do anything to get it. But here we are in the west refusing to get vaccinated.... I guess we deserve this.
  13. Honestly my female colleges have told me about some awkward moments when at work a guy was making an approach but they had to be polite and all that since it's their job to do so. Honestly knowing how important part of the job is for cashiers to be polite I would be very hesitant to hit on them. Of course in some places cashiers have some basic human rights and are not forced to smile and be polite all the time, in places like that it would be easier. Personally I was planning to go on a date, but cancelled it because of the 2nd wave. Let's take this shit seriously, even if you are young there are still lots of unknows long term effects connected to COVID, and you can cause serious harm to folks who are older or have other pre-existing conditions.
  14. As a Canadian you profit from slightly better foreign policy. Trump will continue to pressure NATO members into increased military spending, considering the upcoming recession such investments are not in the interest of Canadian taxpayer. It's funny how republicans claim to be pro small government and small taxes. But really guys, Trump's law and order policy is going to be a huge burden on the taxpayer.
  15. Of course that's true. But humans are emotional beings. If a guy likes you he won't act on logical basis.
  16. It's really good to have some sort of exercise brakes. I have a friend that they implemented that at her workplace. They would do some basic exercises for 5 minuter every hour and it ended up helping with productivity and health quite significantly.
  17. @Onemanwolfpac Go study Marxism. It's not as bad as the media paints it to be. I promise.
  18. A big problem with Africa as well as most of the 2nd and 3rd world is that these countries are economically exploited. Big corporations from wealthy nations buy natural resources and business. Brain drain is also a series problem it's hard for poor nations to keep their talented people because 1st world wages incredibly times higher. It's essentially imperialism. Only that you don't steal natural resources you buy them. If you want to save Africa you need to make your 1st world countries more progressive, stop economic imperialist practices that strip poor countries of their resources. It's kind a cliche but the problem is essentially free market capitalism. Those nations simply can't compete against the 1st world powers. This is not limited to Africa at all. In EU for example Austrian companies bribe Romanian authorities so they allow them to cut down their trees in protected natural parks and cause long term damage to those forests.
  19. Honestly that's great. Small communes of libertarians, anarchists or communists can function and in fact do function right now. Allowing smaller movements like this is perfectly fine as far as I care. The silly thing would be thinking that this can simply be up-scaled to a nation size area.
  20. @BHKNB In principle most of us would agree with your beliefs. Of course it would be really cool of nobody would initiate violence against everyone. We all want that. But we need to think of a concrete way to get there. Just abolishing government power would pretty much leave you in the hands of the multinational corporations. For god's sake Google is already bigger than most small sized country governments are. The corporations are what you should be scared off not government.
  21. I don't think that america is necessarily less developed on average from the rest of the world. It's just that it's wealth is redistributed in extremely unfair ways. Some places are extremely rich while there are towns that you couldn't tell apart from Somalia. The move to stage green will probably be pretty brutal for America as these injustices will need to be addressed.
  22. Black people commit more crime because they are poor and have little economic prospect. Happy people with perspective and goals tend to not commit as much crime. Give these poor folks job prospects, housing and all the basic healthcare they need and the crime rates will plummet. It would also help poor white Americans, there's more of these than we tend to think.
  23. Problem with BLM and similar American liberals is not that they are Marxist. The problem is that they are not Marxist.
  24. Coach red pill is a complete scam. He litterly has a video where he calls women dogs. He basically just panders to a young kinda right wing male audience and gives them exactly what they want. My advice is to stay away from him.
  25. I understand that you litterly just need to talk to people to meet people. Nevertheless I would like to ask you guys for some insights/tips/experience. Make it introvert friendly please haha ?.
