News / Germany's Socio-Political Climate and Its Impact on Poland [122]

Interesting too that Greeks, in particular Italians and Spaniards, during the start of the '60's became the
most numerous foreign labor, "Katzelmacher" or guest workers in Germany under Adenauer. Today, Greece, Italy, and Spain are overrun with migrants.
The tables have indeed turned.

News / European News and Poland Thread - part 4 [1037]

Britain in particular struggles to this day with vestiges of the now hated class system,
as integral to British society for nearly a millenium as any aspect of England's history.
Young Brits in particular despise it and as such, everything associated with all former eras
pre-Beatles. The "openness" and above all the diversity of the US remains a source of envy for
a majority of Brits, especially the smart, funky Notting Hill set, not to mention, the former Carnaby Street crowd.

For this reason, the more the UK's youth go Lady gaga over all manner of exotic Third World foreigners, the
more folks like Farrage, Tony Robinson and their supporters go head to head against the Lefties and with
increasing violence.

Should be noted here that the above like Robinson, while ultra-reactionary, couldn't be less interested in
class or peerage or any of that. If anything, England as well as the English language has become noticeably
de-classe, eschewing erstwhile posh, standard RP in favor of more recognizably local pronunciations. And forget
about G & S!!

I too remember with fondness my first visit to Cologne,
in particular, Cathedral Square (Domplatz):-)

Unfortunately, my travelling companion at the time spoke
almost no German and so she was constantly frustrated when
she wanted to order something.

These days I'm sure things have changed and she'd probably been
advised to brush up on her TurkishLOL

@Joker,
I see you didn't read my post from yesterday, but
I would vote for Cuomo in a heartbeat, impaired as his
candidacy is!

Zohran's a joke, a farce, and the joke will be on the NY electorate.

Ain't it the truth! If that were so, why in the world would
Donald have chosen Freddy?

Yo, Joker, Cuomo's the only candidate with a serious resume on the table!
Pity though he's impaired because of his distant mob ties and thuggish manner,
such as when he worked for H.U.D.

Being upper middle class myself, I certainly don't resent wealthy people.
I DO resent those who a la Trump rob the economically dependent blind
with impunity.

Unlike our president, I wasn't born with connections coming out of the wazoo or
a silver foot in his mouth:-)

Trump is a hypochristian who wouldn't know a good deed
if he tripped and fell over it broad side, unless of course it were a land deedLOL

Off-Topic / Donald J. Trump and William Randolph Hearst [11]

Sarcasm aside, Mr. Jokster, one cannot deny the strong similarities,
witness Trump, like Newt, Bannon, even Reagan, giving the royal finger
to the American, indeed the world, public.....once again!!

@Rich,
It's common in speech to say things such as, "Being a joker, aren't we!"
when referring to another person's remark of which we disapprove.

@Ironside,

Hope's the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul....

First of all, success is always relative, you people.
Many Bklyn. slumlords are deemed "successful" by their
fellow Satmar followers, yet on the grand scale, they're hardly
successful as they constantly live in fear of being either attacked
or killed!

Obviously, you didn't understand my post.
Why should I bother explaining things to you.
While Trump erodes the foundations of democracy, humanity,
and freedom of speech, you and your kind blithely stay home
and surf the TV!

With Trump as President, the US has been committing slow suicide,
despite the repreave of a Biden interlude, for years now!

Off-Topic / Donald J. Trump and William Randolph Hearst [11]

While some in our US media have at times undecorously compared the 47th President to
Hitler, just perhaps a far more fitting, not to mention instructive, historical analogy would be
Hearst!

The reasons might become obvious. Both became Republicans in their adulthood, both were the
spoiled scions of relatively wealthy fathers and doting mothers who indulged their every whim, both
did everything with the proverbial "grand gesture" and felt that money itself was the key, not only to
success, but in fact to true happiness in life, both withstood nill opposition in their pursuit of wealth
along with the power that comes with it, and both had it seems a gargantuan appetite for the opposite
sex; Trump with Marla Maples, Hearst with Marion Davies, among others.

All this only became clearer to me after having watched for the umpteenth glorious time Orson Welles'
singular masterpiece "Citizen Kane" (1941).

"Trump has one billion enemies foreign and domestic."

For good reason, Rich! Look at the man's record. Nothin' I'd be proud of.

@jon,
As Bertolt Brecht, best known virulently anti-Nazi playwright,
said (roughly translated):

A country in need of heroes
Is indeed a country in need

@Ironside,
If the protesters were progressives, this then by my defintion makes
Trump's minion supporters regressives!

Jews fought and died for THEIR country, Germany, long before Hitler took power! Many awarded the Iron Cross.
Their sole language was German, their cultural identity was German, not Yiddish, certainly not Hebrew.
The majority were in fact horrified by Viennese Jew Theodor Herzl's radical notion that Israel aka Palestine
was the true homeland of the Jews. Germany was the homeland for Germany's assimilated Jews, bar none.
What are you talking about?

Most of Europe's Jews were demonized as Christ killers by the Catholic Church,
all of which was based on a myth propagated by the Church Fathers in order to
deflect blame on the true culprits here, namely the Romans!!

Rogue monk Luther didn't make things any easier for them when he
ranted that they should be burned out of their homes and driven out
from their villages.

Those protests signal a deep and abiding distaste for the current regime.
The reaction from the White House, "Who cares", is merely typical of their
indifference, the worst sort of difference there is.

There are plenty of misguided folks out there who worship Charlie much
as millions of misguided Germans worshipped Adolf, only to eventually reap
the suffering upon themselves which they inflicted on so many others.

What goes around comes around and payback time bites hard!
