Are you seriously calling me a nazi sympathizer? Fuck you.

Sure, call them whatever. I’m over it.

No, by definition they’re not fascists either, but these words get thrown around so much that they’ve lost all meaning so sure. Call them whatever the fuck you like.

Oh, I think I got one of those. It’s that girl with the bong, right?

I’m honestly not a fan of calling these people nazis, as there is a very clear definition of what a national socialist is, and throwing any far right authoritarians in with them diminishes that definition.

They’re MAGA, let’s tie that definition to their actions. This is MAGA behaviour, this is what MAGA does.

EDIT: Oh cool, so this is just an echo chamber then? We got people straight up calling me a nazi sympathizer for trying to make the point that maybe not every god damn authoritarian is a “nazi”.

You know, just call them whatever you fucking like. I’m done.

I’m sorry but “goons” will never not be a hilarious word.

Don’t be sorry for him! Alpine is clearly moving forward, and with Gasly as their number one driver. 6th or 7th doesn’t matter much when they were at the very back of the grid not long ago.

This race should hopefully restore some confidence to both Leclerc and Hamilton. I doubt they can challenge the championship, but we’ll see how McLaren measures up to the rest in Spain and moving forward from there.

I really hope Norris doesn’t sail into a P2 because of a possible penalty for Russell.

Seeing the way things have been going in different countries the last couple of years have given me a newfound gratitude for the country I live in. Even our most right wing party is left wing by any international standard.

The government should find a way to protect the local economy from the influx of tourists that own property in Spain.

That’s really interesting. I doubt a comment like this would be allowed to remain on Reddit, which is a shame because it naturally would reach a lot more people.

In addition to the blanket tariffs already announced? Seriously I think that guy might be an evil alien supervillain or something. He seems to be doing his best to ruin the world in any way he can.

That is just… Insane. Incredibly sad.

The situation in Norway is luckily a bit better than that, but I’ve heard from friends that their mortgages became a bit more expensive the last couple of years. Shit, is it really that bad in the UK? People’s payments tripled or even quadrupled? Sounds like capitalist dystopia.

From what I can gather the payments didn’t increase near that much in Norway, and we have solutions like exemption from down payments among other things for situations like the one we’re in now. I know some people with really expensive homes sold them and bought smaller cheaper ones to lighten the economic load, and a lot of people defaulted on expensive car loans. I think the situation hit people with expensive homes and cars the hardest because a lot of those people weren’t willing to adjust to the reality.

If I was allowed to get a loan I wouldn’t have gone over 1/3 of my income, just like with the rent I pay today. I’d manage, but they’re incredibly strict with who gets one.

Took you long enough. We’ve put our lives in the hands of the US for too long, it’s made Europe complacent and now we’re so far behind. We could be equal to or greater than both the US and China, but if we’re honest we have a long way to go.

Surely there can be a middle ground.

I hate that I’ve been paying close to 150k NOK a year in rent for the last ten years but for some reason I can’t be trusted with a loan unless I make a lot more and save up something like 300k.

Except for the fact that I have a place to live it feels like I’m throwing money out the window.

Are you planning on going back once the ban is lifted? I’m gonna try to stay away.

I got temp banned today because I replied to someone and said that using ivermectin would probably kill them.

I’m done, so fucking done.

That is seriously dystopian. Wow, what the fuck…
