yes, they were so scared

being called an -ist, -ism etc is a bigger fear today than losing your entire business

i will say though that i wont put it past certain people that they welcome the opportunity to get out

its not like germany was a super competitive place to run a business even before this mess (which started before the war to be clear)

meanwhile in france

Anti-Communist protesters staged outside the Chinese embassy in the UK as Xi Jinping is solidifying his hold, subjugating Hong Kong and threatening Taiwan. A scuffle breaks out and its not readily apparent which side was aggressive. Initial reporting is claiming the Chinese dragged in a protester and beat him up, but we can see from some footage that protesters swarmed the entrance and at least one embassy staff was being beaten while on the ground by the protesters. Either way we're looking at an international incident. My guess is that the embassy was trying to let consul-general Zheng Xiyuan pass the gates when the protesters tried to take advantage of the opening and storm in and the Chinese started beating them right back, and the guy who got beaten inside the consulate grounds appears to have been dragged back to the gates and ejected, not dragged in.

Going to be important to get the details right because no doubt the CCP is going to throw a shitfit over this. Can't have baboons swarming embassies around the world like its benghazi

The husband of former first minister Nicola Sturgeon has been arrested in connection with an investigation into Scottish National Party finances.


Ooof. Now we know why she resigned. Smart really. Get out of dodge and get your pick as successor in before your husband is charged and your image tarnished.

You know you can dislike both... Right?


Imagine being this fragile irl. Can't even pm reply because they blocked me.
