Mao also drank and was a "womanizer" right?

i think there's like a 50/50/50 change (for a total of 150%) that it's either a) a nazi referencing a semi-obscure nazi military base which is gross but no one picked up on the reference anyway or b) the dumb story of a recording studio being called a "base" or c) them meaning to call it "ace of bass" but their english not being good enough to distinguish the homophones "base" and"bass" especially since they translate to the same word in swedish

not trying to defend some nazi doing shit but i think it's more likely it's just shit rather than specifically nazi shit

the soviet union and china weren't communist. I also don't like scary angry communists like various independence movements around the world, they look like the people they call "terrorists" on the news. when I say I'm a communist I mean I want to have a nice real communist country like Sweden, where they have a semi-functional healthcare system and communist parties get 0.5% of the vote and the party that wants to make being a foreigner illegal gets 57.5%

if your name includes "von der": either EU bueraucrat ghoul, german aristocrat ghoul or afrikaaner ghoul. opinion discarded

burgers when they hear the word "base":

The name is most likely a reference to the Keroman Submarine Base, a massive U-boat launching and docking facility constructed by the Nazis in the French town of Loriant.

burgers when they hear the words "happy nation":

A nation that dreams of the perfect man? And then you cap that verse off with the word "brotherhood"? You're right, I'm completely crazy for suggesting this might be a love song to Adolf Hitler.

burgers when they hear a song about casual sex:

Right off the bat, a quick scan of the lyrics reveals that it's basically about a woman who leeches off society by tricking men into getting her pregnant so she doesn't have to work.

burgers when they reminisce about the 90s:

A time when ... winning a war in the Middle East was a thing we were still capable of as a country.

lol hell yeah there are a bunch of cryptofash and even blatant fash in the nordics but don't blame them for your own blatant fash country which has been going strong for as long as fash have existed

So many people I know are on day 3 of a 7 day work week (sat-fri) right now because of the october week

but yeah even factory workers get a couple of weeks for CNY, a few days for May day, couple of days for dragon boat and a few days for national day. school staff and service workers might have the worst holiday schedules I think.

may day, dragon boat and national day come with make up days though, so often it's only 1-2 actual extra holidays for each

also there are lots of uyghur people in China outside of Xinjiang, in pretty much every province and city. go to a normal city like Xi'an or Beijing and you'll see a hundred thousand uyghur people owning businesses and going to work and meeting up with friends and going to the mosque.

ive been to guiyang a couple of times but never visited this place. the rest of the city is pretty different from this, a very laid back and moderately sizes capital with small curving roads and lots of wide walkable alleys with old comfortable residential areas and lots of street activity (street food, groceries...).

some roads are strangely car centric though with no street level crossings for perestrians, only overpasses or underpasses.

european news were losing their minds over this the last few days. framing the election as being between nice cosy liberals and PRO-RUSSIA Fico. no other analysis necessary. one side is nice and normal and business as usual and one side is PRO-RUSSIA and maybe they also have something else on their platform we don't know but most importantly they're an EU country and a Nato country but maybe they're confused enough to somehow vote for the PRO-RUSSSSSIAAA party, our journalists have no idea why, don't ask.
