"If that's not the crisis, nothing is," he closed.

The writer's almost there: nothing is.

Ok, thanks for clarifying. So neck beards basically? That's a different type of "beard" altogether, they've always been more reactionary than anything else:-) feel better about my beard now, got a little worried for real.

Wait, beards are right wing now? WTF? I thought beards were the sign of soy hipster feminist men, what happened? I was much more comfortable being labeled a bearded soy hipster than I am with a right wing loon label. Being of middle eastern origin, the hipster label is the only 'acceptable' way for me to keep the beard. The distance from a label of conservative right winger to being deemed an islamist terrorist is not very far. Fuck.

I think it's one of my all time favorites. I think people here live in the tech literate bubble who know how to use specialized software for the different things excel does, albeit clunkily. But average people are intimidated by those more advanced tools, and there are a lot of average people in decision making positions who benefit greatly from being able to use excel.

Well, the Brits still retain a large chunk of the arrogance that came with the Empire they no longer possess. So I wouldn't hold my breath. #1 baby!

I'd say Iran and Hizbollah in Lebanon haven't exactly ignored the situation either, and have paid a fairly heavy price themselves thus far.

He's getting the Trump Gold Card that was announced, not getting deported. That card is just a call for the world's shadiest people to relocate to the US. Perfect, what could go wrong?!

Let's just not mention that the "whichever new faith" we're speaking of is the very rapey evangelical Christianity, while making sure that we randomly emphasize that Islam is rapey, which is then expanded into Muslims being rapey. All in a post that has nothing at all to do with Islam or Muslims or refugees or whatever other bogeymen we regularly like to demonize.

This garbage needs to stop. The "not-elected beurocracy" is comprised of civil servants who often reject better paying positions in the private sector in order to contribute to the society they live in.

This vilification of civil servants is part and parcel of reactionary right wing movements, who can't stand people in decision making positions not being subservient to their particular partisan reactionary project. A good recent example is the insane opposition to the 15 minute city concept on the right. As if a traffic planner in the municipality trying to create walkable cities is some evil plant of the 'deep state' or some other insane garbage.

Those 'beurocrats' are the ones making the wheels of your nation's public sector turn, they are the ones providing public services to people who need them to survive, independent of who's in power. Vilification of public servants is and always will be the domain of the reactionary impulse. You hating that pig Jean-Marie doesn't change this fact in the slightest. You should really reconsider this position if you actually hold leftist sentiments.

Germany has supplied 30% of Israel s weapons, and has continued to do so during this ongoing genocide. If Germany or the US were to acknowledge the ongoing genocide, they'd have to stop supplying those arms immediately, hence stopping the annihilation of Gaza. So it's of immense importance to keep repeating what most of the world already acknowledges: this is a genocide, and those arming the perpetrators are complicit in their crimes. History will not judge Germany kindly, but I guess that's not exactly a new thing for a veteran perpetrator of genocide.
