What's up with this graph, it's nice that they went back in time from 1995 too but since they're stacked from there you can't know which lines belong to which individual country. Remains interesting to see that two distinct blocks formed over time. I guess Brits will feel some extra bregret watching this.

I am not german so i don't know either, but Russia doesn't have enough influence to force people to believe their stories. I believe even people who agree with Putin from a political point of view understand his invasion wasn't called for. They know Zelensky isn't a nazi. Even if they buy the story of NATO having expanded too far east they are often not against being in NATO for example. It is interesting there seems to be a difference in how the party leaders treat Russia and how their voters view Russia.

What i think matters most is not what they think but rather how much they care. Their nationalism comes from a need to care for themselves first, it's a kind of egoism that i think is rooted in a falsely perceived threat (There are no houses/jobs, because foreigners took them. The taxes are too high because there are too many lazy people living off benefits. There is no good healthcare/education because CEO's earn too much)*. These threats they perceive are much bigger problems, so they can't afford to worry about that that war in Ukraine. They will say it's not really our business anyway, we shouldn't meddle with foreign affairs. Let the Russians deal with this.

* before i get dogpiled, i'm not saying that it isn't a problem if there is a lack of housing and jobs, there are high taxes and health care and education are unaffordable; my point is they see an enemy that cause these issues intentionally and they need to fight that enemy (foreigners/lazy people/CEO's).

European far-right are similar to republicans in Russia's eyes. We cannot know how much money and influence there is between Russia and them but it is clear that they are the side Russia supports. Obviously it is entire possible that a far-right party isn't financially or otherwise supported by Russia, but even if they are not at all, the party will have a similar views of the world.

Funnily enough i looked it up some time after replying to you, only to find out it is actually a British company and not a US one.

You fly over and you see these windmills all over the place, ruining your beautiful fields and valleys and killing your birds

Better get ourselves some beautiful oil spills instead, much better for the view and also better for the wildlife! /s

For public transport i prefer to use HERE, which is owned by a bunch of car companies i believe. Might also be good for navigation by car i wouldn't know. But although i havent found a big difference between Comaps and Organic Maps i'm inclined to continue using it.

Might be because obsessively tinkering while high is much more pleasant than obsessively sitting still with your thoughts while high.

There is not only someone who collect things that suck, but also someone who collect things that blow.

Thats a ~~US'~~ British companies brand identity, might say something about US-ans that they make a profit this way but might also not say anything about people from the usa.

Edit: Numatic the name of said company and it is from England. Interesting fact as a bonus:

The company was founded on 9 September 1963, and as of 2024 is owned solely by Chairman and Founder Chris Duncan, who created the compact shape for the cleaner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numatic_International
