democracy for who, ben? fucking neocolonial aquaman?

[-] BrezhnevsEyebrows@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

turning a big dial that says "Democracy" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right

[-] 4zi@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

That’s not how graphs work? Even the dogshit American education system teaches that

[-] Goblinmancer@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Democracy is when you have different parties that all have the same policies.

Ackshually it is an overseas department and not a colony.

Tankies destroyed by facts and logics.

Puerto Rico is a commonwealth, not a colony. Its right there in the name.

The US Virgin Islands are simply where we store our national reserve of virgins.

Nobody ask about Haiti.

French Guiana, Françafrique, the Dutch Antilles, Greenland, las Malvinas, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and a bunch more.

las Malvinas

with you on the rest, but come on. it's a thousand shepherds on a barren rock no one else ever lived on.

In the case of the Falklands, for me it's less about democracy, and more that no single nation like the US or UK or France should be able to claim sovereignty over far-flung islands across the globe which then confer unearned navigational and resource rights.

Imagine getting a check for over half a million dollars to make these dipshit videos.

[-] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

That's what everyone concentrates on, but the main channel (the German one) was funded by the Federal government of Germany until earlier this year (they quit the contract because public broadcasting rules banned them from advertising merch lol)

Their HQ is in München, by far the most gentrified city in the country, with rents up to triple that of other areas.

[-] Sinister@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Really, I thought Frankfurt or Berlin might be more gentrified?

[-] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

They're pretty bad too, but München takes the cake.
