She is and she isn’t because we fucking abolished monarchy a long time ago and nobody and I mean nobody in Germany gives a shit about this spoiled rich girl.

As a German this makes me so angry. Why is it so hard to do a little research? We’ve been there, done that with a disastrous outcome. Not against you personally, but why do we have to run up against walls having been the worlds laboratory for this already.
Thank you. As a German I regularly have a strong urge to smash the heads of American Jezebel commenters on here against a hard concrete wall.
Most notably, it gets a pass on Jezebel A LOT. I wouldn’t know who that is if not for NON-CRITICAL Jez posts about him. Posts in the fashion of “Tyler, the Creators new song is so dope”. Just the last time he was mentioned on here was all praise and I wondered why they didn’t even mention that non-Jezebel writer…
We need to discuss miscarriage as something that happens. I had to basically name examples of people I knew who had miscarried to my male cousin until he believed me that miscarriages do not only happen in “third world countries.”
This is so heartbreaking. This poor woman never was considered a human being and treated with value, love and respect for a second in her life.
I spoke to a teacher who tries to teach Roma girls (in Germany). It’s so absolutely heartbreaking for her when the girl come to her crying, at ten, eleven, twelve, telling her they won’t return next year because they are going to be sold into slavery (let’s call it what it really is. That’s no marriage) after summer…
I always want to bang my head against a wall with the Americans in this discussion. I happen to be from a country where the legalization of prostitution was so disastrous it turned the country into the main hub for sex trafficking on the continent and caused a governmental rethinking because it was a massive failure.
But, you know, at least you were allowed to go. I’m from Hamburg and women who are not prostitutes are not allowed to enter those streets or enter the brothels. You’d think if it were just a capitalist transaction like any other our money could buy women too, right? It can’t.
My all time favorite story is how Beyonce demanded to be paid royalties as a co-writer after she sang You Oughta Know at Glastonbury and added a few “uh huh”s.
PLEASE speak for yourself. I know, you have to use the pre-approved Jezebel list of what people to hype and what people to hate, but not everybody is interested above all in her. I used to be pretty neutral about Beyonce but have reached Jezebel induced saturation that I moved from perfect benevolent indifference to…
But does it matter? Those wives are not married with their husbands because they are in it for a normal committed relationship. They are in it for the money. If they are not screwing the nanny they are going to buy an escort or rape the housekeeper in a hotel etc. If those wives cared they wouldn’t be married to those…
I think you nailed it. Those people are not having normal people relationships. They are having relationships with men who are in certain positions in a society based on globalized neoliberal capitalism entrenched with patriarchy. To ever forget that and assume your husband is going to act like a decent normal human…
I don’t believe what I read about the US most of the time. It’s all so unreal and almost comical. To never have even known somebody who has “done coke” and know tons and tons of people who have never known anybody who has “done coke” and then reading about what seems normal for American society is always so absurd.
That is not true. A lot has happened. Say, do a piece about the refugees in Calais right now.
The British film industry does a much better job full stop. I usually watch mainly American tv shows and recently watched the British show Broadchurch. Something was so good and so different about it and I couldn’t put my finger on it. Then I realized that so many of the characters looked like actual, real human being…
Well, do you know the original?
You are right though. People like to care about things that are “cute”, easy to solve and don’t remind them that there are things systemically wrong on a greater level requiring both their abstract and personal investment.
I have not enough strength left to even insult you and your cluelessness. But look up Germany. Been there, done that. The result was a disaster. But hey, what do we know when collierLA has no clue and knows it better.
