  • You mean like the Ukrainians in Butcha or the many Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russians? It is that way that Russians were treated in Ukraine? I never heard about it, but perhaps RT has made a (pseudo-)documentary with paid actors out of it.

    I have known few Russians, and in my experience, they often move to a new country with little intention to integrate (we had and have still parallel societies with Russians in Europe). It is also of no surprise to me that the Russians in the Baltic countries and Ukraine (and also in some other European countries) have little intention to learn the language of the country, which is driven by nationalism, dominance, and pride.



  • But there was an agreement, which was signed even by Russia that, when Ukraine gives up their nukes, Russia will NOT attack Ukraine. Ukraine gave up their nukes, and we see the fruits of this. I also do not think that all the history around NATO is the main reason for Russias war against Ukraine. Already several times it was said that Putin wants to rebuild the Soviet power, just this time run by Russia and not the Soviet Union. Otherwise I do not understand why they are threatening to attack the Baltic states or Poland, which joined at a time when there was even no discussion about NATO thread or warnings from Russia. As said, this fits well in recreating the previous Russian influence with its satellite states than in any made up reason concerning the NATO.












  • These idiots are from far East Germany. Worrisome? Yes. Unexpected? Absolutely not. The AfD is the strongest party in East Germany and thinking for themselves - as they claim so often (“Wir sind das Volk“ - „We are the people“) - is not their strength as they haven’t learned it during communism and forgot to learn it thereafter. Consequently, no consequences are taken and no efforts are made to think things through and improve, deepening that way the feeling that they are the losers which is simply their own fault and which is why they are falling for every right wing German proud shit.




  • Obelix, in case you have been involved in the occupation of the university that time, it is likely that you have been filmed by the police. If this is true, your chances are pretty low. Even when you behaved non-violent. There is a saying in German: mitgehangen, mitgefangen - it is like you would be a wolf in a pack and although you would stay outside the fence and not participate in the killing of sheep, you are done anyway.

    Therefore my suggestion: if you are a foreigner and the police gives a final call to leave the place, follow the order of the police. Otherwise another saying applies: Dummheit schützt vor Strafe nicht (ignorance is no excuse).

    BTW, the situation will get way darker when the AfD will be in power, and what the CDU has done until now, I have to admit that it does not look good for many people.


  • The fact that capitalism cannot be blindly blamed for everything is shown by the example of Switzerland, which I would say is THE example of capitalism. Have you ever heard of a war in Switzerland in the last 150 years or that Switzerland is in crisis?

    I also do not understand why helmet91 is being downvoted, as the user neither attacked someone directly nor said something generally offensive. However, downvoting helmet91 just shows how heated people are, losing common sense, and suggests that he or she is probably right.
