Because yahweh likes the smell of rotting foreskins, per his own words.

This means that Abraham made a tall pile in his house of the foreskins from the many people that he had circumcised. He piled them, one on top of the other, in his house and a stream of blood flowed from these foreskins. The Holy One said to the angels: let us go to Abraham’s house to visit the sick. The angels said: Lord of the Universe, it stinks and it is quite repulsive in Abraham’s house, because of the foreskins. God said: in my eyes the smell of the foreskins is much better than the pleasant odors of all the incense, as the verse says, “I will betake me to the mount of myrrh”

I feel like you made that up.

Your mad scrambling to not back down over a very silly statement is getting boring now. The fact that you genuinely think that there’s literally nothing Germany could ever do to be rid of American soldiers, if they wanted to, is just bizzare and has no basis in reality.

Why wasn’t West Germany invited until six years later?

Because of WW2. You’ve heard of that one right? Sheer desperation and very little thought going on here.

If they wanted them gone bad enough, they could starve them out. I’m not sure how you’ve convinced yourself that isn’t a possible option for them, if pushed far enough. I’m not saying they will but the idea that they couldn’t is just ridiculous.

Nato was formed in 1949 which was before the korea war and was always about preventing soviet aggression. No amount of pretending otherwise will change that. Britain and America had already occupied Germany after ww2 and that didn’t officially end until 1955. I get it, you don’t like nato but you’re not doing you side any favours here.

Tbf to Russia, during “operation gladio” the CIA funded ultra far right nationalist paramilitaries all across Europe which they paid for by running the heroine game out of Myanmar in collusion with the sicilian mob. It’s the main reason for the rise of the far right all across Europe.

To be real with Russia, the idea that they could de-nazify another country when they couldn’t even do it to themselves is a sick joke. However, the best lies have a grain of truth to them.

I mean, what do you expect from a culture that invented hell (Hel)? The Franks liked it so much they adopted it into the Christian Canon, so that there was an “or else.”

You claim communism is impossible to implement yet you have no issue in attempting to implement a democracy that capitalism won’t be able to pervert, despite one never having existed before and it being impossible for one to exist.

It sounds less like genuine rationality and more like rationalising a status quo bias. Even worse when people are claiming capitalism to be the natural order of life, despite existing for less than 0.0000001% of it and humans being egalitarian for far longer than they were capitalist.

Peak homoeconomus experiencing “capitalist realism.” They even colonised your dreams.

Just FYI, not everyone sees “having everyone basic needs met” as bullshit.

I agree that direct confrontation wouldn’t work. However, Germany could just refuse to allow anyone to supply food, power, petrol etc. to American bases and they’ll have to take themselves home sooner or later or declare open war on Germany.

The reason nato was created was the threat of the soviet Russian empire and continues to exist for almost the exact same reason.

Tbf, some infinities are bigger than others.

one who is only checking their phone and always asks “who’s turn is it”/“what should I do now

Aka, the poor soul the others have forced to play a board game that they clearly have no interest in and refused to take hint.

That tea would be disgustingly weak. We did the maths. Of course we did the maths.

The idea that the UK has less in common with France than France does with Kazakhstan is hilarious.

Bravo!

To me, no one really needs to be told that being fit and healthy is better than not being fit and healthy. It’s more that, as a society, we’ve been convinced over eating can be repaid with excersise, to sort of balance it out (an idea pushed by food lobby groups). I’m not saying that you disagree with any of that.

We evolved as persistence hunters. Being able to run off our winter fat reserves would’ve made us poor persistence hunters and we would’ve died out.

The point isn’t the apparent health benefits of applying the worlds mildest buffer to a ph 2 solution, it’s that it’s the sales equivalent of dihydrogen monoxide.

Same, I’m tired of Christmas colonising autumn!

It’s not my fault

I was just following orders

It’s just company policy

It’s just a misstep in the algorithm

The chats amyl and the sniffers The viagra boys (more kind of 80s dance punk revival)

Music has been captured by business now more than ever. I think you’ll be be very hard pushed to find anyone who can make a living from music that would meet everyone’s definition of a strong message etc. now. So, mines a lot less that and just more punk now.

People say leftists don’t like Christmas but I enjoy watching capitalism parade around the severed head of religion just as much as anyone else.
