UwUpeans, so great, and so horrid at the same time.

You sir/madam/gentlebeing, are a most delightfully twisted individual.

Oh, so Trump is now running on the glory of the German republic? Seems like an odd shift in campaign strategy. /s

“Reich” doesn’t mean “Nazi”.

That might be true in german. But Trump's addressing the US, and particularly a demographic known to a) not speak german, b) associate "Reich"with the propaganda of the Aryan Third Reich of Nazi propaganda, which was the ideal to be ushered in by (and excuse) the Holocaust, Secret Police, Ghettos, systematic execution of homosexuals/disabled/colored, the subjugation of the lesser races, and other pastimes of the notoriously sympatico nazis.

Honestly, how many more times is the answer gonna be "vote", you don't seem thrilled about either party, nor the judicial system, nor the oligarchy.

It might be time for political action: demonstrations, organised negotiations/pressure, striking, etc.

At least the French seem to get a lot done with national strikes.

Not really true, it's part of religious shame propaganda in 12 step programs to make you more susceptible to conversion.

Might be effective in the short term, but has many other negative psychological effects.

Secular rehab programs are equally or more effective, and require no such shame or disempowerment.

Sometimes it's weird living where I do, all I can think about are the multiple law violations by the company in this story.

What happened to Romans 13:1

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

They sure seemed eager to use that when Trump got into power.

If only he hadn't publicly slandered the same person twice more after successfully being sued the first time.

You should probably update your economic knowledge.

Study after study over the last 20-30 years has shown that productivity remains or increases when switching from 40 hrs to 32.

It might be the viewpoint of some atheists, it's not really a unified thing, it's just the position of questioning if there is a god.

It is also a poisoned straw man of a religious mind, deeply dishonest and manipulative.

In the case of the deadbeat father, you can look around and see that most other children have two parents, and you can reasonably conclude that you should too. When looking closer you'll notice that not all children have fathers though, and with even further study you'll learn that some children don't even need a father (IVF only requires a donor, cloning not even that), and you can reasonably conclude that you probably had a father, but can't never be totally sure.

In the case of the god claim, we've never seen any god, nor anything needing a god, and upon closer study, we even find that there's almost no room for a god to act within. It's not just that it's a deadbeat god, no one has ever seen any god, nor evidence or need of one, and that's where the oop position becomes delusional.

We have however found many mechanisms for which the mind would like to invent a god, we can even reliably make a mind invent a god, and we've also found many god claims to have been disproven. If you'd met a person who'd been provably wrong on every important point they've ever claimed, would you believe them to be right about the next claim? When would you start asking them to do the homework to prove their claim before listening to the next one?
