Why aren't you wearing an Albanian flag as a scarf? It's a pretty badass flag.

As someone who used to live in Sweden, I really miss Systembolaget. They have tens of thousands of products and free delivery so the amount of choices are amazing. The hard liquor is really expensive but the beer and wine is pretty reasonably priced. There's a sort of price floor when it comes to the wine, though, they don't sell any super cheap wines like they do in every grocery store in Southern Europe.

This man's Wikipedia talk page has a discussion about whether or not praising Hitler as the greatest leader in history and constantly quoting Mein Kampf makes you a Nazi and they landed on no. Until the NYT calls him a Nazi, he's a far right activist.

Okay, I think I understand. Trump wants to fuck with Biden's legacy who wants to fuck with Trump's legacy who wants to fuck with Obama's legacy and so forth. Term limits are good in the US because fuck the US.

But even without term limits the president would have to spend just as much time focusing on campaigning, right? You would still have the same amount of elections. The president would still spend just as much time ruling the empire as now.

So term limits make a lot of sense in ineffectual systems of government that are more focused on the spectacle of campaigning and elections than the actual governing? I can definitely see how political apathy would lead to incumbents running unopposed but I'm not sure I understand how a lack of term limits automatically benefit the incumbent, other in the fact that they literally have to step down once they reach the limit.

I don't think any party has ever had term limits imposed on it's leadership. I remember when the PRC removed their term limits on the (effectively ceremonial) position of president and the US media apparatus freaked out. The media apparatus in other western countries where term limits aren't a thing had to invite specialist commentators to explain why a lack of term limits in China means dictatorship but it's all fine in Europe.

Are term limits conceptually good? Aren't they just arbitrary?

I decided to go in and saw they're calling him a "Russian asset". Burgerland politics are hilariously brain dead.

So is /r/enoughmuskspam a sub for white nationalists who didn't like all the attention Musk was getting and who now dislike him because he's not racist enough? Reddit has so many different subs for racism it's crazy

Hitler was German. Austria-Hungary was a multinational empire under German and Hungarian rulers at the time Hitler was born but there was never a separate Austrian ethnicity or anything like that. After WW1 Austria was simply another German state and that's what drove the idea of the anschluss.

I didn't refresh my page so I didn't notice SoyViking wrote a longer and better version of my comment haha

It's been racist tourism for a while, sadly. Every thumbnail and title is about how weird and gross non-whites are.
