Bullfighting is opposed by at least half the country’s politicians, and fewer and fewer people are watching it. Many areas have taken measures against it, and without further ado.

The monarchy has great protection in the media, but on the street, most people criticize them without a problem. There’s a reason the instructions refuse to hold a referendum outright.

Football is different. Of course, there are people who criticize it, but a large part of the population is happy for their team, or the president of their team, to manipulate the politician in charge to gain something. Support for other institutions has many more flaws.

Dude, the best Pope will still be a horrible person, I feel sorry for whoever they are, but the Catholicism is based on horrible principles; they put them behind helping the poor and all that, but the hatred of anything that isn’t 100% standard is total. That is something that is not going to change because it is a basic part of the issue, read the Bible, it is there and no member of the church is going to deny that.

If you’re a normal person, the best you can hope for is that they elect someone who doesn’t fan the flames of hatred any more than necessary and hope that their social support continues to dwindle.Anything else is impossible

If the European authorities don’t intervene, this will continue to happen shamelessly. These people’s political and media power in Spain is enormous.

I wish I could say I’m surprised.

It’s not Spain that’s pushing the EU, it’s Trump.

As a company, they’ve always been incredibly conservative, so for maybe the last decade or so, they’ve tried to fix it by creating characters that are an absurd progressive stereotype as a stupid by product of a committee with no connection to what they wanted to stand for, so they didn’t lose their reputation as conservatives among progressives, they pissed off conservatives by adapting to the woke agenda and along the way making some absolutely infamous products, yes Star Wars I’m looking at you

Well, in 1933 when the NSPD came to power they had 43% of the seats in parliament (I haven’t found the percentage of the total votes but I imagine it was much less). That did not prevent them from repeating the elections at the end of that year and getting more than 90%, you can imagine how.

Even a part of popular culture accepts that they came to power by winning elections and the German people feel and felt the shame that they came to power by democratic means, which is only half true.

I feel sorry for the American people, but they elected this team under the same rules of democracy as their previous presidents. To claim now that his election was not democratic is to distort the facts.

go woke go broke, no wait…

I guess everyone has their own turning point, but Reddit seems to have a new controversy every two weeks, so I suppose things will just keep escalating here.

Personally, I jumped ship during the API controversy, not because it directly affected me, but because ever since I discovered federated networks with Mastodon, I’ve thought it’s the perfect idea (in fact, I had an account on the server that disappeared even before that). I have accounts on all the federated networks, even though I don’t use them much, and I’d love to see them replace the traditional ones.

In any case, welcome

I carry here as a year and a half (before I was in another instance that closed) and I can say that the increase in traffic, participation, comments, vows etc. For a couple of months it is remarkable.

I don’t know if it’s for Trump pushing Europeans and Candadia outside their products, for Reddit turning its platform into shit full of bots and unpopular standards or a combination of both, but I think that the network and community is doing really good (we even have a community of conservatives, half a year ago something like that would be unthinkable)

The level of ultra-capitalist dystopia in the USA is incredible

Yes, I guess that is part of the problem, in Spain hoteliers prefer to scam tourists with products of inferior quality compared to what we really eat than to gain fame and repercussion. I don’t know if that was your case, or where you were, it varies a lot from one region to another, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

I understand the context of Luigi and his censorship on Reddit, but what about the bee movie? I’ve seen a couple of out-of-context mentions about this and I don’t know what the topic is about.

How can you put Spain on the same level as Great Britain? Damn Italians don’t know how to make anything other than sauce with tomatoes and they think they know how to cook.

Las comunidades en español son escasas y de poca actividad en general. Te animo a participar en cualquiera que veas activa compartiendo lo que te interese. Yo ayudo moderando !esp@lemm.ee y seras bien recibido

Liz Truss giving advice on power is a joke in itself

Zelenskyy is a shell of a human being, and so are Trump and Putin

You’re not criticizing things about Zelenskyy that are worth criticizing; you’re equating him to Putin, putting the aggressor and the victim on the same level, and you do it with the obvious intention to minimize Putin’s faults. You’re not adding nuance to a leader or contextualizing things; you’re simply implying that the one who has invaded and violated a country’s sovereignty is the same as the one defending against it.

I’m not going to respond to you again because you’re making a fool of yourself if you think this is going anywhere. But if you wanted to have a serious conversation about what Ukraine could or couldn’t have done differently (Ukraine, not Zelenskyy, who has been in office since 2019, when Russia already had everything ready, not since 2014), you’d have to start by understanding that Russia is the aggressor, that Putin is an imperialist, and that nothing others do will change that.

Oh, come on. Fine, I’ll put it in writing if you need it.
The first step in the oldest playbook in the business says: if the leader you want to defend (or the company, or the country, it doesn’t matter) does something so obviously wrong that it’s indefensible, make the rival look the same. It doesn’t matter how, it doesn’t matter how much, just muddy the playing field.

Putting Putin and Zelenskyy on the same level is exactly that, and it’s damn transparent to anyone with half a functioning brain.
