Just remembered a strange event from my childhood. My dad and I were walking down the street when an old man stopped us in order to show us his life's work: a detailed miniature recreation of a famous circus. He had a yellowed photo in his wallet of some acrobats in the center stage of a miniature circus. We didn't know him and I never saw him again, but to this day the art of miniatures is the only thing I still share with my dead father.
I was about to say that this account cannot be real, it's obviously fake for hitting so many stereotypes and controversies at once, and then I saw that she's posting videos and everything. Sometimes reality is crueler than our imagination.
What, do you have something against homosexuality?
Some time ago, the Guardian had a positive article about the Tories making HRT easier to obtain without prescription – for elderly (implicitly, cis) women. It's such a neat contrast.
I've just seen an unsourced statistic online that a third of the people arrested for antisemitism in Germany as of late are Jewish. Obviously, I can't find anything on this in the media or on Google, though I regularly hear of individual cases. Does anyone have a real source on this or is it just a rumor?
Remember "people of NATO"? lmao
Are we just pretending not to notice that this is a copypasta, is that the joke?
I think right-wing propaganda, like TV shows watched by children that tell the viewer climate change isn't real, trans people are monsters and it's okay to use homophobic slurs, is much more heavily responsible for the rise of Trump, actually
The mod over there trying to rein in the misgendering has multiple downvotes. Who put all this transphobia in my anticommunism?
Another despicable historical distortion going on in those comments is about the treaty of Versailles. American liberals like to go on about how it was so harsh that the rise of Nazism was a perfectly rational reaction. That's not only historically highly dubious – it was much less harsh than most anything the German Empire did to the losers of its wars (see Brest-Litovsk) – but it's also, like, only two degrees away from the stab-in-the-back myth (Dolchstoßlegende). That is to say: The Nazis liked to claim that the horrible economic state of the Republic was due to the "traitors" who gave up on WWI and signed the treaty, causing all of Germany's economic problems (never mind the Great Depression). No one should be agreeing with the Nazis on any part of that idea.
No regional trains for most of the night. I should be able to get home from the big city between the hours of 22 and 6
