The impoverishment of Portugal is a small price to pay for the guarantee of the end of war in Europe. Persevere, brave Portuguese; know that through your suffering, a future of German tanks rolling into France is averted.

Lol was that the one that basic excel errors in it that formed part of their conclusions? That was discovered by some graduate student or something.

Yeah in my country you could drive a motorcycle on a regular car drivers licence. Now they are separate, at least since the 90s. But for anyone who had their drivers license issued before that can still drive a MC. Not sure if it still applies to "heavy" motorcycles though which are their own category of mc vehicle but i believe so.

I dont think the SWERFs (hate that term) arguments should be that easily dismissed considering the trafficking problems in legalising countries. I find some of the assumptions of legalising proponents shaky at best. The supply of "Legal" sex workers are never gonna fill the demand of johns in a fully legalised country and you often end up increasing trafficking inflows.


Seems like to me that being a proponent of some kind of nordic model is more controversial among anglo-US feminists than in some European countries, especially among feminists and present & former sex workers. Not that it is without its detractors among them here, but it isnt a taboo position and there are strong sex worker factions for it too.

Neither view is without its problems, and besides criminalising the buyer it varies widely between countries what else they do, like exit programmes, regulating police behaviour, other social instances etc. While others would prefer decriminalisation to legalisation, encountered that view especially in the UK.

That legalisation increases trafficking and violence and that many if not most are trafficked, dont want to do it and correlates highy with poor mental wellbeing and past trauma is a big sticking point, countries where it is legal dont seem to be better at addressing these issues in the present level of control many of them have.

Im not wholeheartedly convinced by any specific policy, but there are valid perspectives from present and former workers in both camps which shouldnt be dismissed out of hand given the often ambigous results we have.

Not really, the only people of note in there were already known as nazis.

What stood out most for me was one guy that actually looked very "normal" and nice since most of them really conformed to a visual stereotype.

Surprised it took this long, the leak was published months ago.

Germany seems like one of the worst places in Europe to be openly pro-palestine (maybe only second to the UK), even have the gall to stifle anti-zionist jews with direct familial ties to the holocaust.

This is the most worrying part of Swedens ascent into NATO. Swedish libs have such "student council president energy" that there is no limit to what we will do to suck up to the atlanticists. Or well, do already but the NATO club doesnt help.

The fact that there is no one here trying to tell you that Chega is the actual secret ultra hyper key to acheive true leftism™ should tell you that yes, them being around is bad news, so both major parties are hoping to avoid that situation. However, it was finally addressed that our elections had way more time to do debate and speech commentary than actual coverage of issues or elections and that perhaps political commentators have too much power. The answer to that, so far, was a Publico Saturday post on how that is conceded, then they should address the left-wing bias in journalism bc reporters or university professors have twitter or facebook or linkedin accounts where they can just QRT the post and go "what is this poo poo?" It should be reminded that the originator of that post was a guy that took a week vacation from his cosy commentary spot to go to a different newspaper to cry about that newspapers "Staff filled to the brim with dick-cutting feminists" and happily returned to his post and one time dumped his kids on the home of the PM to protest a leap day since they were disturbing his WFH job.

which lovely commentator is this?
