So there’s people keeping pet dogs also in the middle east, which are very cute if you’re a dog person.

It’s more difficult to keep dogs than e.g. in most of Europe, because outside of winter you can’t really take them on walks during the day at temperatures of up to 40-50°C and most cities are incredibly car centered due to the high temperatures and the lack of public transportation.

Therefore it’s sadly not really a recreational activity unless you live in the countryside. That’s why people can’t really build positive associations with dogs.

Of course if there’d be funding to bring the strays to shelters, vaccinate & track them, do birth control, build and maintain dog parks etc. people would lose the association over time and see only the good boys being cute. In that sense I don’t think it matters how we got to this point or wonder whether it’s always been like that.

But all of that has nothing to do with religion, and my point was that the Iranian regime is just doing extremist stuff (to the surprise of no one).

Yeah I don’t think you understood my comment.

That’s a bit wild. I’m from the Middle East and there’s not much love for dogs because we have a lot of stray dogs that are legit scary and dangerous.

There are rules about not keeping dogs where you pray but it’s a pretty extremist stance to forbid keeping dogs. I have some pretty religious family and even some of those have dogs.

If you search on google for Islam rules you’re gonna find a lot of Westboro Baptist Church kinda sources that have nothing to do with how normal people live.

Yeah I’m very worried about the future of Europe. With trump & MAGA the US may be going crazy but they’re still a military super power and they’re at the forefront of tech, especially AI & crypto, so they’re gonna be fine.

We on the other hand boast about our culture and history and Blabla but what does that help us if we become economically irrelevant because there’s kinda 0 innovation coming from us. We don’t really have any answers and we’re drifting deeper into fascism ourselves in light speed.

You need to get a smaller truck that fits in your regular one for driving into the city. Like with a yacht, no need to walk, that’s for losers

My euro brain cannot comprehend that Americans are discussing about it like it’s something weird or exotic let alone anything special.

Love you all and would love to have a huge ass truck and a shotgun and live the Pißwasser advertisement lifestyle, but it’s really just a square. Sometimes they do markets there from like 6am-9am on a Saturday though which is nice if you hate sleeping. Also there’s probably a McDonald’s. Now you know all our town square secrets

One of them did a nazi salute in public, twice. The other staged a coup because he didn’t want to accept the election results and proclaimed himself king of America and said that with him people don’t need elections anymore.

If you don’t know what a fascist is, frankly, that’s on you and you should go look it up on Wikipedia, because you don’t seem to understand. Because if you did, you wouldn’t make such stupid claims.

Kycnot.me is your friend. Go to a public WiFi (ideally use a VPN), get some Monero, buy a phone plan without KYC.

We’re to the left of the US but if you look around Europe, our parliaments and governments are full with right wing extremists. The so-called centrists are politically and rhetorically where today’s Nazis were 10-15 years ago (at least that’s how the Nazis presented themselves to the public while they still had to).

Otherwise I do think your explanation makes sense.

Those people are irredeemable anyway, I don’t think Palestinians deserve such a punishment as having to deal with Antideutsch people additionally

Yeah you would. It depends on the exact implementation and luckily with so many countries involved there’s a lot less possibility to get consensus on privacy invasions, but from a technical perspective there’s nothing that stops the EU from later changing what they agreed upon now.

So what this means is that you’ll have to trust the EU that

1. they implement this how they say they will
2. they won’t later change the system to use it for mass surveillance

A proper replacement for cash is Monero. I know blockchain useless and crypto bad and all but that’s a real private digital currency where you’d have to be wanted by the CIA or Mossad to even face the threat of having your payments tracked.

Not sure if great shitpost or someone genuinely thought this is funny
