Will nobody think of the poor Einsatzgruppen troops having to crush the untermensch to death 😢
No sympathy of course, but this reminds me of what some others here have said before: that even true believers in the genocidal fascist doctrine get mentally fucked up by committing war crimes like this. And something about PTSD like Vietnam vets, which might be related due to committing a bunch of horrific war crimes themselve and I'm unsure how to word right now but omething something or other.
I'm glad he's still agonizing over it, even if he feels no guilt for murdering innocent people.
I hope he burns in hell in his mind everyday for the rest of his life and then for an eternity once he has died. Which I hope occurs when he is run over my a bulldozer as slowly as possible. Only fair
The other thug he was driving the bulldozer with has already self-liquidated, hopefully he follows close behind.
wow, still not a good zionist but improving
Holy fuck, "It was absolutely necessary for me to run over hundreds of people alive with my armored bulldozer" was not a take I was ready to read. I'm so sorry, it must have been really hard for you to have to do that.

Himmler Harris gives an awful answer to "could Gaza cost you the election?" (video)
check out this takedown:
October 7 is both the “first” and “most” tragic event. And the Middle East has “always” been “difficult” and will “never be easy.”
With brutal efficiency, Harris condenses racialized hierarchy, false periodization, weaponization of complexity, and disavowal of US complicity
Kamala Harris was asked just now whether she might lose the election because of the war in Gaza.
Her reply suggests real uncertainty about this issue.

It sucks that everything in the Levant was totally fine before October 7th, 2023, when Hamas fell out of the coconut tree
1200 Israelis
"Extraordinary number" of Palestinians
1200 innocent "Israelis"
Soldiers, cops, settlers, civilians, children. Innocent, every single one of them.
Threading the needle between saying murdering children is evil and that they deserved it for being born there
Apparently there's some horrific footage of massacres in/around the Indonesian hospital in Gaza that a nurse managed to smuggle out, and it's being heavily censored on twitter
Found this regional breakdown of the Moldova eu vote, it seems like some of the numbers indicate some abstention on the no side. Can someone translate and identify the regions?
These maps are comparing the vote results with the areas in which Moldovan is spoken
Looking at it,yeah,yes is mainly concentrated around Chisinau,with no being dominant in the rest of the country
No mainly in Gagauzia,no surprise there,I thought there would be more in Pridniestrovie,but over 50% no is still not nothing,also probably because people there didn't all vote,so there's that,as a consequence of not Moldova not having official control of the area,and not being able to set up polling booths
Also,this makes it obvious it's the fucking diaspora that decided the outcome, although,to be fair,the population is bigger in the blue area
Great point by Branko Milanovic regarding Moldova's EU referendum.
It is absolutely bizarre, but very much in keeping with how EU operates, to vote on EU membership when no-one is offering it.
Macedonia voted in such a silly referendum in 2018. Did anything happen? No new member was accepted for 11 years. Countries are in a limbo for decades. It is a waste of time & energy to think about it.
Moreover, to be accepted several countries (incl. France) require referendum which would definitely reject new members,
Referendums like the one in Moldova are meaningless & they simply add fuel to fire and destabilize countries for nothing.
Same thing I was thinking, there is no guarantee that any more countries, even ukraine, will actually get to join the EU even, they're just going to get in line forever. Which affects the countries' politics negatively (in the eyes of europhiles), ie Georgia
What EU does is to play an entertaining game. It displays to small countries pictures of wealth to come, countries begin fighting within themselves for these illusory pictures, and nothing real ever happens. What EU does is what in French is called "miroiter". You disembark in a poor country, show them in a mirror all kinds of glowing things, they get excited, and in exchange fo these images, they give you land. It worked wonders in the 19th century.
Both EU/NATO and Russia want to provoke conflicts and even civil wars in the European neighboring countries. Creating dissention and political mobilization over absolutely unattainable things (like EU membership which is a mirage) is the right way on that path. For small countries that are polarized in many respects, it is a suicide in this geo-political climate, to choose one or the other side. Neutrality or non-alignment is not just a "nice" policy. It is necessary in order to survive without a civil war. Libya & Iraq are cautionary tales.
The founder of El Periódico has been released from prison and is now on house arrest. El Periódico is kind of like the Intercept of Guatemala, but much more prestigious and left-leaning. The founder has been through hell over the years for his reporting. Everything from kidnapping to mugging have happened and he keeps on going. He was arrested in 2022 for criticizing a former president and like anything in Guatemala, saying the fascist government is bad will result in threats from them if your platform is large enough.
Bureaucratic budget rules prevents coastal protection for Danish towns
Many Danish coastal municipalities, are grappling with how to fund essential coastal protection projects against future storm surges caused by climate change. A recent report from the Technical University of Denmark warns of severe future damages if these measures are not taken, but the financial burden is proving difficult to manage under the current construction cap.
This cap limits how much municipalities can spend annually on construction and renovation projects, making it hard to finance expensive flood defenses. The town of Kerteminde was forced to scrap a DKK 50 mln. dike and sluice project, as it would consume half of their annual construction cap. The island of Lolland, meanwhile, plans to defy the construction cap and go ahead with a DKK 400 mln. floodgate to protect the town of Nakskov from future surges, as soon as funding is secured. Lolland's succdem mayor Holger Schou Rasmussen argues that there is no choice but to build the floodgate as the damages caused by unmitigated flooding will far exceed the cost of construction.
Both municipalities are calling on the central government to ease the budgetary straitjacket and provide more financial support. Holger Schou Rasmussen, argues the issue is a national responsibility, while Magnus Heunicke, head of the succdem-controlled ministry of the executive, acknowledges the need for collaboration but stops short of promising to lift the cap.
