...Are cashews not not nuts?

The trick there is that your initial demand has to be more extreme than what you want. This both anchors the Overton window, and allows you room for concessions. So, in effect, if you want socdems, but you competition are technofeudalists, you need to go as far left as possible and then compromise to meet them in the middle.

Yeah, he had no idea what was going on. A cop asked him a question, and he just lied on instinct.

Now there's a phrasing...

Thet benefit by feeling closer to (what they imagine is) their culture. We're talking about people who left for some quick cash and ended up spending 30, 40 years there. They have a daughter that's born there, grew up there, and never lived outside of there, and they worry she'll be sad when she has to break up with her boyfriend "when we all move back home". They feel like they're separated from their nation because they are, and psychologically deny this by voting for someone so rabidly and loudly nationalist they can hear him all the way in Frankfurt.

It's similar to folks from, idk, Boston, who will occasionally vacation in Ireland and conclude "they're not Irish at all over there, they don't even paint rivers green on St. Patty's!"

Diaspora, while benefiting from free movement and pluralusm, often feel like they're losing their identity. In turn, they seek to symbolically reassert this identity by remote-voting for the most far-right maniac they can find. The fact that such a maniac would never have let them in, and will ruin the country, doesn't bother them as they don't live there anymore.

I often get the feeling those people see everyone who voices dissent as one big amorphous blob. It's as if every conversation on a topic is part of one long argument, and you get assigned every claim that anyone ever made. Almost like they watched that "moops" alt-right playbook video and drew the exact wrong conclusion.

I was under the impression it was the "Hillary warned us" and "Putin is behind everything" crowd, since it mirrors the MAGA saviour and conspiracy fantasies.

...I'm guessing this is another North Korea haircut story?

Have you considered "not voting for whoever is served to you is treason" messaging could also be a psyop to depress voter turn out by making people disgusted with politics in general?

For the umpteenth time, it turns out fascism is the frontier coming home.

Well, not send, per se, he was already there, he just happened to be the man to actually push the reforms through so he was kept.

It would seem the church is looking at it from the opposite direction: it reaches all the way into the confessional. Anything outside it should be fair game, it's just the violation of the sacrament they object to - though I guess "go confess turn your self in" could count as "cause a report to be made".

That's a "converter" in the same way an ejection seat is "a chair".

Could have phrased it a bit better. "...but instead of charming, was just offensive", maybe?

Or, right, the last one was "forever". nvm.

At least link the murmaider one first!

I believe the term is "prosecuted".

It's both, really. Fascism is said to be imperialism in decay.

Not a blunder, just a very specialised tool with a very niche purpose of "being the tip of the spear in a setpiece assault on a heavily fortified strongpoint". Now, them trying to convert their entire tank force to heavy tanks, that a different issue.
