I have close friends from Grindavík, it’s surreal and sad watching its destruction live on television. A building is currently being surrounded by lava on one of the livestreams. Luckily it’s only an abandoned research facility, but it’s only a matter of time until it reaches the nearest residencies.

Is that actually Ben Shapiro? I knew about this picture long before I knew who Ben Shapiro was

There must have been some magic in
That elder rune they found
For when they carved it in his head
He began to slash and pound

You hit the nail on the head. The savings would be too distributed between different parts of the government to arrive at a specific number.

Yeah I completely agree. They know better than anyone what fascism looks like, and the fact that they choose to do nothing is sickening.

I think Germany has actually accepted a lot more responsibility for the atrocities they’ve committed, compared to nearly every other European nation guilty of colonialism and genocide. I have British friends who were taught almost nothing about Britain’s colonial past in school, while every German has to learn about the Holocaust in school.
In a way I understand Germany’s reluctance to compare a Jewish ethnostate to Nazism, considering what they did to the Jews 80 years ago. But I think that comparison is completely justified and Germany should know better. Israel is an apartheid state, and Netanyahu is one Auschwitz away from being just like Hitler.
