Europe already spends 2 to 3 times more on defence than Russia and has more manpower and vehicles but there is, apart from us, no party ever highlighting this.
We have this orthodox Jewish district in my city which I ride my bike through every morning to go to work. Today some dude was riding in front of me when a Jewish guy in a car drove towards us. These are narrow streets so there was little space.
Anyway the dude on the bike went off against the car, screaming: 'fucking JEW, fucking UNTERMENSCH' and I was like: what the actual fuck man.
I caught up to him at a traffick light and asked him: 'what the fuck did you just say? Untermensch?' and he started stuttering. I asked him if he knew what we do with Nazi fucks around here and he quickly rode away. Not that I have any idea what I meant with that either but still.
Baffles my mind how you can be so confidently Nazi outside.
One of our party officials in the European Council quit our party and will continue as independent. He gives no reason himself but rumours has it that it is about money. Every one of our officials needs to give a part of their governments wage (which is enormous) back to the party so that they only receive an average wage as to not lose touch with the people. Guess he wanted everything.
I was gifted a big zinc tub for my balcony garden this weekend and I immediately went out to buy some native pollinator plants. I got some figwort, cowslip, ferns, wild garlic and endangered common bluebell. I hope it will work out and that the bees and the beetles and the wasps and the butterflies find their way to it.
Went to see the Bab Dylun movie with Timothée Camembert and was surprised Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie were in it. Maybe some good thing for the youth to see.
At this pace the EU and Ukraine will declare war against both Russia and the US. It feels like this entire continent is collectively losing their minds right now.
I guess that is just a result of the online society we live in. People used to meet eachother in places like the gym or the supermarket or wherever normal. Nowadays people get startled if you strike up random convo's. As long as you are not a total creep about it then it should be fine.
Exactly five years ago covid hit my country. I cannot accept it has been five years already lol. It's like I'm still sort of waiting for life to get back to normal despite no Covid restrictions being in place for a few years now.
In 2019 I started to break free from some bad habits and I felt like the future was looking bright for me. Going into 2020 I was excited about what might come. And then covid hit and it changed me from a pretty happy and goofy person into someone kinda bitter and anxious. It's probably not solely covid's fault but still. And then when it was 'over', Ukraine and its financial consequences for Europe hit.
Sometimes I am reminded of the phase in my life in which the Uyghur genocide bullshit was making rounds in the news and I went like: 'I'm going to never buy Chinese products again!' which I actually followed up on. I find it amusing to think about how I turned out eventually lol. But at least I actually wanted to do something against it back then, I guess.
There are virtually no public bathrooms anywhere here but I do have a subscription to some shitty chain brand gym and I can use that as a public restroom in any city. Dumb as fuck.
It blows my mind how the socdems in my city managed to put forward one of their old politicians who used to be mayor. He has been convicted of fraud and embezzlement when he was the CEO of a football club, among other things. He was facing multiple years in jail but managed to buy off his sentence. Highly corrupt individual.
