The average Republican doesn't like Jews at all. By religious nuts, Israel is viewed as the guarantor of control over the Holy Land, and for slightly less religious nuts Muslims are just worse than Jews. Therefore anti-semitism is fine, not supporting the state of Israel isn't. Crazy world.

Yea, gaming has come a long long way thanks to Valve. I was also holding back due to this (and not wanting to spend too much of my spare time learning a new OS and commands etc) but I just installed Zorin (chosen for minimal effort) and hardly had to do anything. I struggled a bit to get Proton to work at first but now my entire Steam library works perfectly and I'm so much happier with it than I ever was using Windows. Gonna be getting my friends and some family on it as well!

I know what you mean, but I don't agree in this case. We do live in an idiocracy where our minds have been numbed by the proliferation of mindless reality telly, and I wouldn't care to hear the opinions of Paradise Hotel contestant #967. But art is and always has been politics, and Springsteen - known for being a champion of the working man - has had his art co-opted by MAGAts for many years. Thus, hearing him take a stance against them is very much relevant and something that I want to hear. Especially on a personal level being from a country continually demeaned and threatened by MAGA America.

It's politics, not rocket science or medicine. You don't need to have a fancy degree or hundreds of dusty books on your bookshelf to have an opinion on the direction that your (previously democratic) country is taking. Politics is first and foremost based on feelings; so-called experts also strongly disagree on literally everything. And, at least in theory, it's your right, and the expectation, that a citizen of a democracy engages in politics, stays updated, and has an opinion. It's your privilege to have a platform on which you can influence others when you have a large enough following.

The minute we stop listening to artists and other represantatives of the public sphere that's when autocracy and plutocracy will truly defeat us.

Well, everyone's voice should matter - and the voice of a guy with millions of fans, from an older generation, and whose most famous song often gets co-opted by MAGAts, should definitely matter. I appreciate him and De Niro in particular for speaking up so vehemently.

I switched Windows our with Linux Zorin some weeks ago. Everything works perfect as well, I can play all the games I have on Steam

I think we forget that generations aren't monoliths but rather the product of a pluralistic world.

I still hear "don't worry the old people will die out" as if young people can't be morons and don't vote, say, far-right

You're one of us then! ;)

But no, I just mean, between things like Northvolt, Think Pink, mines on Sami land etc it doesn't take Klarna to show us that many things are amiss up here. And there are many crappy companies like Klarna; Lundin Energy and Embracer Group just to name a couple. IKEA destroying ancient forests.

Not to mention that Sweden is essentially a wealth haven ruled by old aristocrats and a few oligarchs.

I'm impressed we were able to maintain such a good reputation internationally. I guess the whole world just sucks!

I assume you're not from Scandinavia if you need Klarna as proof

Huge loss for the environment, big win for AI stocks!

The difference between reality and movies is that the former is far crazier.

Well, taking bribes seems to not only be tolerated but encouraged by the current administration. Can't break the law if you are the law!

I wonder how Kanye feels about his homies trying to take away his favourite internet activity.

Sorry, let me just rewrite that for you.

The masculine, strong, and very straight MAN Mike Waltz, a well-known defender of masculinity and champion of the deprived, had his Twitter account hacked by evil COMMUNISTS in an attempt to make him appear WEAK. But we, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, will NOT stand for this INSULT towards this sincere, hard-working AMERICAN.

The hell? These dudes have been telling me that my country is against freedom since they got into power but it's actually the opposite? What a surprise

This is truly the issue. Uneducated extremists are and will by far outbreed ideologically sane people who tend to doubt society, our existence, and bringing children into the world. Personally I don't believe in the future so I don't see a point in ruining my life with a child's weeping and cleaning poop just for it to grow up and have to be part of this circus of the maniacs.

Interesting. Well, I already live in the Eurozone but never thought I'd see the day where Americans would buy a lot of Euros

What currency are you going for?

Trump supporters can't even read, much less take any kind of higher education degree

It costs 20 000 USD to give birth? My goodness that is insane
