It is, some people (not me, I’m not a cool rock person) even insist that it is way better and also totally different in a way I don’t quite get.

Huh? No way Nicole Kidman makes 35 movies a year. How??

Exactly. Everybody wants peace, but everybody also wants new clothes and phones etc.

A rare case of real life mimicking art, as “Vater und Tochter genießen Lieblichfart, die endet in ihnen in Liquified Animal Shit bedeckt” is also the title of one of Germany’s classics of erotic cinema.

That depends on how you define “moderate success”. In the top leagues these were not really winners (Opel works teams themselves ran the bigger Manta B and Ascona).

In terms of pracitcal value, 100k were far more money back then than 2.5mil would be today. You could expect to live like a Queen for the rest of your life from that, even if you were young.

That’s certainly nof “of color” by any American definition of the phrase. In Europe the perception is quite different (it never ceases to amaze how many perfectly white people are classed a disdained and racialized “other” by the oldschool Western European boy’s club of nations), but then she is not really a…

No doubt integration is not really what this is about, it’s about cultural hegemony. But so is trying to integrate absolutely EVERYBODY who crosses the border.

That is a false hope. Liberalism is always in danger of turning into fascism not because of some nebulous evil forces working in the shadows, but because it shackles itself to the notion that it’s somehow noble to ignore your enemies.

I hate your opinion on this, it’s so American and liberal. The only way America will ever be anything remotely close to “great” is if you, collectively, manage to push all these malignant racists into the fucking sea. Or at least those among them with any real power, the rest should fall in line.

C’mon, no way Trump would ever wind as an accused in The Hague. The first American to appear there is not going to be the president. Plus, they’re too busy with warlords from Serbia et al.

I would have guessed that too. As for how much money they individually have, it practically doesn’t matter. They have some core wealth, something to mortgage, and generate income frequently enough to do that weird rich-people thing where you never have any real money, but you always pay your credit rates so your bank…

“I think this is based on a fear of being seen and treated as poorly as they see and treat traditional minority populations.”

I’d go a step farther and say that separating a person from their politics is major bs Americans made up to satisfy our enormous desire for surface-level harmony.

Blergh. Can I just say that as someone who is white and roughly your age, I find your “I used to be left-wing, but then I grew up” attitude tiresome and annoying. Yes, supporting Nader was dumb, and the op-ed you wrote deserves some shame. But how come everyone over 30 suddenly agrees that Democrat-style liberalism…

“That’s not true, they all suck, just in different ways and clearly Al Gore would have sucked in a way that could have saved us at least some trouble you dumb asshole.”

Why is there a dog’s face in his hair in the last pic??

THIS. This is, basically, what the socialist tradition doesn’t get: economic inequality is only a root problem if you’re a straight white male. For all others, poverty is merely a side effect of the discrimination they face due to their skin color, gender etc.

The R129 is definitely a much better sports car. But if a sports car is what you want, definitely don’t get an R107. Probably don’t get an SL at all.

Oh but it IS! Won’t somebody think of all the British nobility who are now back to horse carriages as the only transportation choice not tainted by those horrible Americans and their offensive tastes.
