Racism in the United States is astonishing. As a non-American, until Obama’s time, I used to think that, there was just some institutional racism left over from past decades and a few extremists in the South—but not much else. After Obama, it’s incredible how most white people have become extremely right-wing extremists, all because of a single president of mixed descent. Now, the problem seems enormous, and a solution doesn’t appear to be anywhere in sight.

I think that when you repost it is clear who the original author is and where he put it, I don’t think there is a problem with that, especially in a system that does not accumulate karma or anything like that. For me it is one of the best features of Lemmy (piefed, kbin, etc) and I think it should be enhanced more

Okay, let’s start the conversation by clarifying the situation

As a Spaniard, I tell you, Alvise Perez is an ultra-right-wing influencer like any of Trump’s craziest supporters. It’s a disgrace to the country that he’s managed to fool enough idiots to get into the European Parliament. Sorry.

If he had consulted his allies BEFORE starting this mess, he would now receive more than indifference and contempt.

The window of opportunity to get out of this situation in the USA is closing fast, and if it’s not seized soon, this mess is going to last decades, assuming a lot of deaths and an absurd amount of money that the country no longer has like it did decades ago. The shit is going to fall on everyone.

Esterica is not flavor

Gran película, revolucionaria en su momento

In his first term his national policies were not so bad, with things that could be criticized like everyone else, but in general I think the balance was positive.
But in the last elections he lost some power and now at the parliamentary level he is in the hands of far-right Catalan separatists who only support him out of hatred for the anti-separatism far-right. Since then his measures have been few, due to ineffectiveness and more than debatable.

P.S. Spain has been doing quite well in economic terms in recent years.

The US does not have the plan. Israel has it and it consists of turning Iran into chaos so that it is a failed state and can never be a rival at any level for them, if this means chaos and destruction for everyone else around them they don’t care

Of all the bad things that social media has brought us, the worst is making stupid people feel intelligent because other stupid people agree with them.

EDIT: I have seen your positive votes, thank you, I feel validated and it is clear that I am very intelligent

The last time they sat down to negotiate, the country’s leader was blown to bits. Why would they repeat that experience?

Yo ayer vi Nuremberg, con Russell Crowe y Rami Malek. La peli es dura, pero bastante buena, hay un momento del juicio donde ponene imagenes reales de los campos nazis y… buff, pero la recomiendo realmente.

Right after starting a war with a country known for using terrorism against its enemies. Great plan, I see no flaws in that logic.

as a Spaniard, I confirm

As a Spaniard, I would like to tell my German brothers (whom the post mentions directly) that it is time for historical debts to be settled, It’s time to measure everyone by the same standard and talk about everyone without the weight of history in mind

The previous king (obviously the father of the current one) who abdicated and is still alive has had great controversies both for his relaxed sexual life (for being elegant speaking) and for certain bank accounts with money of unclear origin. That was the reason he abdicated.

Taking this away, it is true that it is not a problem that we Spaniards think too much, but when the polls ask, the majority option would be to change it for a republic

Wines are a topic in which I don’t understand much, but I recommend that if you can, try the reds from Monterrei or Riveira Sacra, both very close to where I live and with a mild flavor. We have good cheeses, but the competition throughout Europe is strong and it is always difficult to stand out, San Simon is my favorite.

You might be right—confronting Trump there might have only made things worse—but the image of Trump attacking Spain while the German Chancellor stays silent in the room is damning. I expected more from a man who, at least on paper, keeps talking about strengthening European unity. Is it only to protect the east from Russia? The rest of us can get lost?

Merkel was also center-right and I can’t imagine her staying silent about this. The problem is not ideological location, it is human decency
