THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

Trying to find a source on this but in GDR, May 8 was Liberation Day while in West Germany that day wasn't celebrated, and I heard it was called something like the day of unconditional surrender? Most hits i get on google are from german institutions about how May 8 was the start of the suffering of many other germans

What are you on about? The CEO of SVT Hanna Stjärne, born a stone toss away from the wealthiest area in sweden, has sworn there is no manipulation of sound even though all videos from the audience has very audible booing.

Watching the semi-final performance the other day, I just assumed they put together a small block of pro-israel people together and then took all of their crowd noise from that one spot.

Eurovision has had an applause track dubbed in since 2015 when people were booing Russia over Crimea.

Well the Israeli delegation has made it their mission to be as annoying and hateful to everyone else so it would be a bit hard to swallow their victory, but it would be funny to see them trying to uphold the voting as not being rigged

media says he got physically aggressive with a photographer backstage that wouldn’t leave him alone.

i’m sure that’s what gets him disqualified and not the fact that he refused to stand next to genocide gadot when being filmed, lmao

Israel is spending millions on YouTube ads with their representative begging for votes in Greek, Serbian, French, Portuguese and other languages. In the meantime, there were various incidents possibly relating to Israel during the flags parade and several nations are rumored to be considering dropping out due to Israeli war crimes in Gaza.
