  • European here: it's true.

    Ffs, in Spain the king was virtually untouchable despite being a sex pest and incredibly corrupt. One of his lovers (17 and pregnant at the time) supposedly jumped off a balcony. He would also "request" meeting popular actresses and singers and could ruin the career of all of them or any journalist who dared say anything at all.

    And those journalists who shut up are the same ones now talking about the dangers of the far right (or left!!!), populism or how the new king is definitely a good person (unlike his father, grandfather, sister and brother in law, nephews...).

    Back in the day (or today with the new king) you had plenty of liberals all going: "yes, i'm a republican, but i'm also a JuanCarlist", which translated means "i have to be a republican because i call myself left and i live in Spain, but now it's not the time to push for a republic because i don't have that many principles and i love cozying up to power".

    Spain gets a what? What are you even talking about??

    That "pass" (if it even exists) is because current Spain is nowhere near as relevant as France, US or the UK in the world stage. Also lmao at saying Spain is more fascists than any of them.

    Not really having anything to do with this post, but Sanchez is what Starmer or Macron wish they were: a politician with insane luck, good instincts and able to somehow juggle a parliament with multiple parties while pissing off all of them but not enough to have his goverment taken down.

    Well, yes and no.

    Podemos split/got partially absorbed a few years ago into Sumar and the current Podemos. Sumar is currently the minority party in government and they suck, they are terrible at reading the room and don't realize how much they are pissing off/dissappointing every leftist in the country by being a cross between Ned Flanders and Ted Lasso.

    Is the current Podemos better than them? Yes, obviously. Much much better and Ione is an ok leader.

    BUT, Podemos was the minoritarian party during the previous Sanchez government (got replaced by Sumar) and they really seem to want you to forget it. It doesn't matter how much they laud the palestinian or the saharaui causes if they did nothing to help them when they were in government (and no, i don't care that they didn't hold the foreign affairs office).

    Tldr: the statement is good and refreshing, but it's fundamentally being used by Podemos to distance themselves from PSOE and Sumar, if they were in government (as the inority party) their position would be the same as the current government.

    I want to point out that i've never played F-Zero, but i assume it's "just" a racing game:

    Why not just make another? They are constantly making new Mario Karts and everyone loves those. Same thing with Street Fighter (yes, a different genre, i know). Just make some cool characters with cool designs, fanartists will do the rest.


  • I'm a cynical person but i still think you are wrong in your conclusion. Yes, masses crave easy and digestible answers, but there's a genocide going on. There isn't anything more easy and digestible than "genocide is wrong, fuck off zionists". The easiest way to combat them is simply ti show everyone how dishonest and monstrous their politicians and zionist influencers are.

    I may be wrong, but i think the idea is that (seriously, how the hell am i better than these chuds at explaining their own ideology):

    The left (supposedly) hates beauty and tradition and nice things, which is why we (supposedly) support disabled and fat people in modeling and beauty magazines (also trans people, i guess). So a conventionally attractive young blonde woman becoming a sex symbol is an attack on the left because it proves that no matter how much "the elites" try to push other beauty standards (the ones i mentioned earlier), "the people" will always choose blonde women with big breasts.

    "Fun" fact: the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language (RAE) accepts the term "coronabebé" (babys born during the pandemic, a term that obviously no one has ever used and won't even be used in the future) but doesn't accept the gender neutral -e termination despite being very commonly used in left wing spaces and even casual conversation (if the speakers are cool and sexy and clever and awesome, obviously).
