We all do!

Germany produces commercial telling citizens to save energy so they can make it through winter


Would you rather that they run commercials telling people to conserve energy to save the planet? Really, government commercials telling people to conserve energy are a constant in every country. You obviously think that it's a big deal that the Germans are using this message instead of Greta's face.

By the way:

@GermanEmbassy

quote:

Germany's gas reserves are near 95% capacity.

Economic Affairs Minister Habeck said Germany was on track to free itself from Russian energy imports.

He warned that while energy supply security was being achieved, gas remained a scarce commodity, to be used economically.


Conserving energy now is indeed how they make it through the winter just fine. They'll have plenty of energy to keep people warm.

Oh no someone says something OML doesn’t like so naturally he calls them a warmonger or genocidal. It must be really sad to live a life in fear like you do thinking the bomb is going to drop at any minute. I bet you do stop, drop and cover drills everyday like the Burt the Turtle commercials in the 60’s when everyone was scared of nuclear war. It must be absolutely exhausting to be you. I’m sorry, I really am. That’s no way to live life.

You do know this meme is used represent the group think where you’re not supposed to question anything the government and media tell you, right? A perfect example of “The Left Can’t Meme” that I’m sure a cultist warmongering idiot who has never heard the argument from the other side made.

The irony is that most of the folks on this board who routinely blame Biden for the war because the Afghanistan withdrawal made us look weak are the same folks who argue that the best position for America's long-term security is to back down from Putin and give him what he wants.

It's either extreme cognitive dissonance, or they're just anti-American trolls.

We should be afraid that Putin is crazy enough to use nukes, but that he's trustworthy enough to make a peace deal with this time after all of his frickery? C'mon, man.

Its almost like they are intellectually dishonest goobers who simply take whatever stance is opposite than what the government and media are taking because they don't like either

Almost nobody in this thread is a “leftist”. As I told you earlier stop using words you don’t understand. And for the record there is group think on both sides.

I’ve asked you to make the argument in support of the US forcing Ukraine to cede its land to Russia as you advocated for yesterday and to explain how such a move would strengthen the US position on the world stage, but you ran away and refused to do so.

Let’s hear the argument.

The thing is the neocon warmongers have formed an unholy alliance with the Woke idiots when it comes to war. Watch Tulsi on Rogan from this week where she’ll carefully explain this to you.

What exactly did they lie about in Afghanistan? Do you not remember those planes crashing into those buildings? Or are you one of those crazies that think it was am inside job? The frickup in Afghanistan was by Joe in how he chose to “get everyone out”. There’s no possible way on this earth you’ve ever been laid, that much I’m absolutely sure about. If there were ever a guy that need a blowjob and release it’s your uptight arse.

And who exactly is "they" anyway? You've got loads more sources than the CIA, DoD, and the British ministry of defense here. All the OSINT in lying?

Wow, talk about a self own. Just because I occasionally listen to the guy doesn’t mean I agree with him. I think he’s honest and isn’t a liar which is why I’ll listen to him just to understand the Leftist perspective.

But of course that meme came from Matthew Yglesias. Again I instantly realized that meme came from a Leftist who doesn’t understand what that meme format means. No, you are the people in the grey there. I’m the one questioning the narrative, y’all just take everything said about this war at face value and refuse to think it through.

What a self own.

“They” is a mental crutch to allow vagueness and ranting without requiring specificity and fact.

Stop with your vague, broad brushing bullshite. It’s tiresome and intellectually weak.

Argue your position. Quit avoiding it.

Honest question; we've seen the Russian church get behind this invasion on an almost Crusade esque level. Was the Catholic church, or any of the more "Western" faiths even close to this in WWII or more recently?


Correct me if I am wrong and I could be. Didn't the pope back Hitler in some way during wwII. Just woke up and don't know if I have my facts straight.

No, you're arrogant because you think you're thinking for yourself, but you're actually gathering unreliable information about this war in the same manner than you've come to believe health information from Robert F. Kennedy.

Your epistemics are busted.
