Racism in the United States is astonishing. As a non-American, until Obama’s time, I used to think that, there was just some institutional racism left over from past decades and a few extremists in the South—but not much else. After Obama, it’s incredible how most white people have become extremely right-wing extremists, all because of a single president of mixed descent. Now, the problem seems enormous, and a solution doesn’t appear to be anywhere in sight.

I think that when you repost it is clear who the original author is and where he put it, I don’t think there is a problem with that, especially in a system that does not accumulate karma or anything like that. For me it is one of the best features of Lemmy (piefed, kbin, etc) and I think it should be enhanced more

As a Spaniard, I tell you, Alvise Perez is an ultra-right-wing influencer like any of Trump’s craziest supporters. It’s a disgrace to the country that he’s managed to fool enough idiots to get into the European Parliament. Sorry.

In his first term his national policies were not so bad, with things that could be criticized like everyone else, but in general I think the balance was positive.
But in the last elections he lost some power and now at the parliamentary level he is in the hands of far-right Catalan separatists who only support him out of hatred for the anti-separatism far-right. Since then his measures have been few, due to ineffectiveness and more than debatable.

P.S. Spain has been doing quite well in economic terms in recent years.

as a Spaniard, I confirm

As a Spaniard, I would like to tell my German brothers (whom the post mentions directly) that it is time for historical debts to be settled, It’s time to measure everyone by the same standard and talk about everyone without the weight of history in mind

Wines are a topic in which I don’t understand much, but I recommend that if you can, try the reds from Monterrei or Riveira Sacra, both very close to where I live and with a mild flavor. We have good cheeses, but the competition throughout Europe is strong and it is always difficult to stand out, San Simon is my favorite.

You might be right—confronting Trump there might have only made things worse—but the image of Trump attacking Spain while the German Chancellor stays silent in the room is damning. I expected more from a man who, at least on paper, keeps talking about strengthening European unity. Is it only to protect the east from Russia? The rest of us can get lost?

Merkel was also center-right and I can’t imagine her staying silent about this. The problem is not ideological location, it is human decency

What we are most proud of in Spain is our ham and our oil, I know that in many places the Italian is more famous, but try the Spanish version, you won’t regret it

As a Spaniard (the country he threatened) I have to say that this is really disappointing. Not only Germany continues to accept any violation of Israel’s international law and no longer has the courage to tell the USA what it told it during the Iraq war. Now they don’t even want to plant him towards abuse by threatening a friend. I expected much more from Germany

Meanwhile, UK is busy licking America’s ass, Germany is sucking up to Israel, and France is begging for an invite to the party because they want to be popular too. What a scene.
