And remember to defend from domestic terrorists as Elon Musk fans the flames of the ultra conservative minority there. (AfD?)

AfD is not conservative. It’s retrograde Nazis. They got 20% last election.

Those are scary words.

Do you know what would be scarier? Germany not preparing for war

There are many countries around the world investing in their militaries. It makes me think of checkov’s rule, “if a gun is introduced into the plot, it will be used”

troyunrau@lemmy.ca on 01 Apr 04:12 next collapse

That’s paraphrasing a bit. Chekov’s rule is about conservation of narrative real estate, no about the gun itself. It wasn’t even consistently true of his own works. The real world is not a stage play and armies created for deterrence don’t need to be used.

I’m looking forward to the deus ex machina part. Could we just skip to that part? Or no, how about my favourite plot device, where we wake up and realize it was all just a dream? Maybe we could just do that

I’m just waiting for roll credits so I know who to blame for this unwatchable mess

They should have done this in 2008 when the russians invaded Georgia.

Instead Merkel kept promoting and enabling russian genocidal imperialism.
