Of course I don't think manga is bad, literature Is literature after all. As I said, it's just that the interest in the material Is filtered through an appreciation of formerly consumed visual media, and even then It remains "an interest", rather than something they actively look for. Monetary factors have also to be looked in: not every country can afford to print out Shonen Jump.

Durov has been blacklisted in Russia because he refused to cooperate with Putin's government on several occasions.

We didn’t have Hitler in our history though. You can’t compare roman salute with wolf gesture

Turks committed genocide towards Armenians (and are still perpetrating one against Kurds).

Europeans are uncomfortable with the fact that we just exist.

It's not about existence, it's about extremism and authocracy making its way into Europe. I don't think any European looks at Hungary with respect, either.

Italy also symbolizes wolfs.

Wolves are not correlated, at least in Italy, to paramilitary fascist organisation responsible for war crimes. And, of course, there's always a degree of interpretation: a wolf is a wolf, a wolf salute is a reminder of the violent recent history of Turkey and its accommodation into the reality of "the normal".

I believe Turkey is a wonderful country, but there's definitely better ways to show patriotism than to resort to extremist political affiliation for doing it. Like, I don't know, a Turkish flag?

Mhhh. I don't know how to feel about this: it seems like Mobilizon isn't getting as much traction as other federated services.

Putting the clown makeup on once again...

Je ne suis pas français donc tu dois considérer mes mots, mais je crois que au moins pour Polanski, la France a été à sa défense parce que on croyait que son procès aux États-Unis allait devenir un procès politique et injuste (même face à la terrible nature du crime de Polanski). Je ne sais pas pour les autres noms, mais je crois que la France ait décidé de devenir la patrie de la démocratie, comme tu dis, en établissant soi-même comme une autorité internationale où on essaye de protéger tout coupable d'un procès injuste. 🤷‍♂️

Horoscopes & astrology, and celebrity gossip.

I did know about LibreLingo, but it still feels like it's taking really small steps! And the other alternatives don't seem to offer the semi-holistic experience that Duolingo provides.

But you'd miss on Season 3 that way, and that's the best one out of all of them!

My money's on an Animal Crossing, possibly not immediately on release but close to it nonetheless. New Horizons had just too much success for the company not trying to ride the wave, and they have so much room to improve on the mechanics and the variety of the setting.
