Can we talk about how “I am the new president of Romania” in itself is an absolutely stupid phrasing to use when prematurely declaring yourself the winner of an election?

No problem ;)

This is a specification so people know what the law in Germany is. Simple as that.

Since when exactly is Russia in the EU?

Relevant context: Dobrindt was in favour of banning the Left party and was in favour of juristically going after the Last Generation.

Ah yes, exactly what I tell my boss when I do stupid stuff for fun

Vatican itself does not have much influence on this election. Francis was smart enough to appoints lots of bishops from “remote” regions like for example Mongolia or Pakistan, who have not been able to form political networks with each other and make it far more difficult for court intrigues to work out. Yes , the conclave surely will see those again, but there should be a counter weight at play here

You should know that lots of countries and societies will not do this. Especially in the global south.

There is a roman saying, “the one who enters conclave as the pope [to be] leaves it as a mere cardinal”

The catch is that he did not appoint by ideology. His appointments were mainly based on the guys doing work for poor people, for migrants, and on them doing their jobs in the global south.

Quite a few of these he made cardinals are somewhat conservative in their views, especially regarding sexuality

If you define leftism as a pure economy model, then you could call right-wing authoritarian countries with state-controlled economies “socialist” which makes no sense.

I can assure you that the judiciary system in my country does work. It’s just that these people either a. just want to beat someone up and need an excuse, or b. don’t agree with our laws and think it should be prison time for a 18 year old who wants to date a 16 year old, or a 21 year old who wants to date a 17 year old.

They lump far more people into the same group. They attack anyone whom they think they can, even if they know that their accusations are BS.

I would never call a leftist a “tankie” because they are a leftist. People who do that are idiots. The important part of the word is the support of authoritarian regimes.

Which is pretty weird nowadays because neither Russia, China nor North Korea are even communist/leftist anymore.

Same as in the first screenshot for me

Keep in mind that not everyone on ml or everyone with leftist leanings is a tankie. Yes, there are a lot of tankies there, but ML is a general purpose instance and some longstanding lemmy users simply have their accounts there

To find communities that you might not know exist, it’s great to check out !communitypromo@lemmy.ca , !communities@ponder.cat or !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl .

You can also visit the external website Lemmyverse.net for community discovery/search. Or sub.rehab for finding equivalent communities of subreddits.

So far no one seems to know what the real reason is. That is why there is a lot of guessing.

Some apps have “guest accounts” that you can use to lurk while upgrade downtime on your instance

They are already detaining Germans without them being transgender whatsoever:

• A German tattoo artist came to the US for a 3-week trip. She’s now been in ICE detention for over a month
