If you police it it’s not a cultural thing. If it was just a cultural thing than we could just let the * slowly die out. But banning language hinders progress. And I’m sorry, but the German language is constantly shifting and changing. There have even been multiple planned changes that went pretty well in recent history. Using English words might have been a big change back then, but now it’s really common. The first terms for mobile were things like “Taschentelefon” (pocket telephone), “drahtloses Telephone” (wireles telephone) or the one that is still in use “Mobiltelefon” (mobile phone). None of these seem outlandish to me.

I 100% agree that it’s not perfect. Still, banning an attempt at being inclusive is clearly not about how impractical it can be. And even if it were, policing language is stupid 9 times out of 10.

I used to think that believes really don’t matter as long as the person doesn’t act on it, but almost all believes shape who we are. It starts with little comments and evolves into actions. It doesn’t have to be that way if people acknowledge harmful ideas, but if you let someone believe that women are worthless or that their race makes them superior for long enough they will become a bad person.

No. The only organ that can make “binding” decisions is the security council. Unfortunately all decisions (except for administrative questions) need the approval of china, russia, the UK, France aaand the US. So I doubt that tha the US will ever sanction Israel because it would mean they are admitting to supporting war criminals.

Ohhh so a landlord. Checks out.

Meanwhile chromeOS had a stroke because I asked to set a wallpaper

Honestly that’s kind of on you for having breasts

And also fucking 16 wheelers. Romans did not drive 80 ton (made up number. I don’t know how heavy big trucks are. But I’m Shure they are lighter than ancient wagons. To be honest I just hate cars and I want to use a scientific discussion to push my personal political view.) vehicles.

Why doesn’t he call the avangers is he stupid?

That’s all correct and I agree with you on these points. What I’m trying to say is that this change is (I think, not 100% sure because I wasn’t in the room of course) made to combat “imported antisemitism” wich is a different “issue” from the Israel situation entirely. There would not have to be a recognition to the right to exist for Palestine because they are not receiving the type of discrimination by imigrants the Jewish community does.

Pledging loyalty to Israel and recognizing that Israel has a right to exist sound like very different things to me. Don’t get me wrong this change is dangerous but not for the reasons you think. It shows how AFD managed to push right wing ideas into the mainstream.

The past few years I’ve desperately tried to not sound as German. Now I have a weird Britishish accent and I’m kind of sad I don’t sound German anymore. But then again I work with Luxemburgish people (and other internationals so we often speak english) sound more German than Germans and it can be hard to keep a straight face at times.

They have a point because I am European. Being a teacher in my area is pretty alright right now. Still, I was aware of what I was getting into and if everything goes downhill I can still work as a journalist or in an archive wich sounds waaay better than teaching history to children who really don’t care.

As a history student I was really afraid that I would meet a ton of right wingers. But I must say the worst kind of people so far are history students that only study history to become teachers. They keep laughing at me saying that at least they have a future and that I will eventually switch sides and become a teacher too, I just don’t know it yet :(

Yes, advertisements in game environments have always been the place to make stupid puns.

Damn it’s crazy that you say that despite there being dozens of countries where crackheads just don’t have guns.

Do you think they will not rob people for crack? They are addicts not stupid

Yes a world where crackheads can legally carry guns will definitely not lead to violence.
