Funny, the president of the European commission, the old ministry of defense of Germany, is indicted for a corruption affair, she received below-the-table payment from the weapons industry.

She's also the one saying we should go to war with Russia.

How can you be that dumb

von der leyen has been well-known for gross, near criminal incompetence from the first time she appeared in public. she has not yet, in any way, redeemed herself even the slightest bit.

she was born in belgium, by the way. maybe it's just something in the water there.

@tosensei yeah sorry about that.

When taking function, that bitch literally asked for a flat in the European commission headquarter where madam enjoy extraterritoriality. You can't search there for wrong doing.

@tosensei come on I have flow but i wouldnt take millions from the weapons industry

@antigermgerm oh, but you would.

That's the EU for you! Incompetent idiots failing upwards

@tosensei ah yes I forgot your tendency to confuse a thing with its complete opposite.

Did you know antigua was the real gua?

@retoor That's very true, the 20s do slowly drain that optimism(? not sure if it's the right word) and you learn stuff outside of school with how things work rather than how they say it should work. Still, there are definitely people better than others, they just avoid becoming politicians

illusion of consent

you have no choice but to have these guys for leaders. have you noticed

all according to the lizard's plan!

the lizards brainwash people with "education"

then in your 20s you unlearn it

and then you become against the government instead of a sycophant

unless you're slow. then the process might take a while or never happen at all because your brain is not that plastic enough to re-arrange its worldviews fast enough

@retoor I think a big part of it as well is going away from the more "carefree" education lifestyle and going to work. Combine that with realising you can't be "everything you dreamed of being", seeing the cost of things... I could name more things, but I think you're right about being more positive when younger.
