Why all the way to the gulag, if the window is so close?

An idiot doing stupid shit of only local impact hardly qualifies as “World News”, does it?

In which Chinese factory workers aren’t exploited?

Definitely. Losing their formal organisations means they lose convenient (and legal) funding, because funding of group activities, when done informally, quickly and easily ends in trouble with the tax man. Losing the ability to legally spew their hatred filled bullshit out in public will not only lead to less recruitment of people who actually believe it, it will also foster a societal climate where opportunists will think twice before aligning themselves with the Nazis.

Yes, in many, if not most genocides, forced relocation was either a cover story for, or a tool of mass murder, or both.

Minister of the interior, whose job description includes law enforcement, visits an internationally wanted war criminal to sign a contract with him. Just my kind of humour.

Oh, another one who didn’t sleep all the time during history class.

In the context of a genocide, claims of resettlement tend to be smoke and mirrors. See Armenian Genocide, see Holocaust. Why should it be different with this genocide?

That was a military coup in a country that had run its economy into the ground by being a fascist dictatorship for decades, which pissed off the people, including the military, somewhat. When the fascists originally took power, the military had gone along with it.

He already offered 100k, but what is an offer from a grifter well known for not paying his bills worth?

They won’t provide any infrastructure though. They’ll be happy to say it’s for the “service” of administrating Greenland and for the “security” provided.

Anyone believing in getting money promised by a grifter well known for not paying his bills deserves to be cheated.

And he played their stupidity just right.

It should be, but I don’t recall any military in history that actually has disobeyed a fascist dictator in the process of seizing power.

You better respect the couch man’s authority or else he will come to your home and fuck your couch.

I think the real issue here is that he publicly lied about working continuously and tirelessly to remedy the situation, to the point of locking himself in in his office, while in fact, he was just playing tennis.

On the other hand, a politician at this level not being a blatant and unashamed liar would be more surprising than him actually being one.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case with German politicians. They are living in their own reality.

Dear Mr Vance, go fuck a couch and stop shitting out of your mouth.

He does not (and cannot) do anything to help anyone, but pretending is part of the job. If the mayor does not want that part of the job, he’s not fit for it and should be doing something else. Like, coaching tennis or something.

Actually, those PR visits are even counter productive, as those big wigs and their entourage require space and protection, so they’re tying up resources that would be more urgently needed elsewhere. In Spain the residents had the right idea when they chased away visiting political big wigs by pelting them with mud after that fatal flash flood last year.

In that particular case, different pylons were required, as they had been made out of a type of outdated steel that turns very brittle when cold.
