It feels like the same in Germany. Public service, education and infrastructure budgets are wrung dry while certain top percent owners accumulate massive wealth. Now they're blaming migrants

I'd wish this was ploy, but frankly they just lack any back bone...

My guess is that they are saying this because in September 2023 they made a deal with Israel to buy their missile defense system. Instead of buying a European version with the French mind you, but that's a whole other stupid fucking can of worms.

Well, October 2023 passed by and then it got a bit trickier over time to support Israel. But besides demands to maintain humanitarian care for Gazans, my government has done nothing of substance to stop supporting Israel. It is beyond shameful, this decision will haunt us in the future when Israel inevitably loses its position and we have to answer why we are so stupid to buy from Israeli right wing extremists (and the US) to begin with instead of starting EU projects if we have to. Not to mention the biggest thing, supporting open genocide.

We always talk big about EU stronk, but I can't help to sympathize with the French (and other EU govs) when they are pissed at my country. We have taken the call every time the US wants something instead of considering European interests plus have run austerity for 20 years now in every government in the time period. We have a real knack for getting ourselves into a dependency of big powers, even Russia with their gas. We lack any vision how to fix our problems and build a strong European union while being the biggest member. Meanwhile the right builds it's own vision, fortress europe. Thanks Merkel, thanks Scholz, you're really good at managing.

All this to say my government sucks because they won't arrest Bibi. Fuck that guy and frankly fuck Israel for committing a genocide. Thank you for listening to my Ted talk.

I gotta say this one is actually funny (while still wrong)

Seasoned only with salt and pepper, so you can still taste the stress hormones of the cow

What a hilarious way to put it

Prisoners aren't taught how to do chores, they are in "involuntary servitude" aka slavery. One of these tasks was being fire fighters in the most dangerous part of fire fighting, stopping wild fires. I guess you should look up what people were talking about in this thread. gootbye

California prisoners are used as fire fighters on wild fires.

Beautiful. See, this it's done

Oh wow, we are doing these savages a service! Now, go put out that wildfire, unclean one /s

Jesus, this sounds like Europeans landing at whatever they colonized centuries ago

It was an art form, subtle and truly beautiful to behold. Now look at what it has become. Truly makes you cry
