I don't really get what would have changed from last year.

Can Germany also return all their losses?

[-] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

There is a conspiracy that the German organizers intentionally want to lose, because if they win they have to host the next Eurovision, which always runs at a great deficit.

ouch that is a savage burn!

[-] FatVegan@leminal.space 1 points 23 hours ago

We would've totally given back our trophy... But you know.

[-] MightyThistle@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

Great job. Make the bully realise no one likes him and won't come to his parties

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

Dont worry, what citizens think, feel doesn't matter to the governments we elect to "represent" us.

[-] Phineaz@feddit.org 2 points 21 hours ago

Why not go somewhere the government ist not elected then?

[-] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 day ago

Fucking wow, that’s true gangsta shit right dur

[-] DaMummy@lemmy.world 179 points 2 days ago

Maybe it's time to see Eurovision for what it really is. I think Americans are starting to see what the Nobel Peace Prize is all about as well.

[-] jimmy90@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

if there's something i love more than allah it's eurovision

they loves gays

[-] MareOfNights@discuss.tchncs.de 39 points 2 days ago

What? What are either of these things really? I'm so confused.

[-] SippyCup@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 day ago

It's political.

Think about it like wrestling. Everybody is a character, nothing is real, but they really need you to believe it is. It's all an act to keep your attention.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 16 hours ago

It's all fucking keyfabe. On television all the politicians will act like they hate each other however as soon as the cameras are off. It's buddy, buddy time.

I understand in a democracy, there has to be discussions and comprise. The problem is that politicians don't do it on television to dispel the fantasy that they all hate other.

I'm not exactly sure what they're getting at, but I did see someone from the Nobel Peace Prize committee call for Maduro's removal just as the US has been ramping up its "anti-narcotics" operations in around the oil and lithium rich country, complete with extra judicial killings of Venezuelans, telling other nations to avoid their airspace and very recently seizing an oil tanker ship...

So it kinda feels like the Nobel Peace Prize committee is trying to add justification to the cause for war that the US is trying to drum up, which is wantonly egregious, so maybe they're implying that both the Nobel committee and Eurovision are tacit supporters and backers of imperialism.

USA pllitics aside, the world would be a little brighter with Maduro and his regime out of Venezuela

You mean like how Libya is so much better now without Qaddafi? 🤡

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

No? Are you slow or something? You people have to stop watching the world in black and white.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 points 22 hours ago

You need to learn from history.

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago
[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Okay, you were given two examples of why this is bad (Qaddafi, Sadam). Here's another: Syria was a stable and semi-prosperous country before the meddling began, and then it was turned into a basket case. It took over ten years to depose Assad, and in the meantime their economy has been obliterated and half a million people died.

These are just the recent examples, there are so many more: Sukarno in Indonesia, Allende in Chile, Lumumba in Congo, over and over and fucking over the US comes and fucking destroys countries in the name of "liberating" the people. Your government programs you to hate these "regimes" but they're actually stabilizing forces, and without them everything is worse.

Making things worse is the point. If they can't install a puppet regime friendly to US interests they'll settle for turning the country into another basket case, because taking Venezuela's oil off the market raises prices (and thus profits)

And Trump is already promising to do the same fucking thing in Colombia! It's so nakedly evil, and you just lap it up like a dog. The US's internal politics don't even matter, this is bipartisan.

Talking to you is self harm.

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Ah, i thought you already knew, you were talking alone.

[-] zbyte64@awful.systems 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

People said the same of Sadam. Trust me, more imperialism can make it worse.

[-] demonsword@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

So you say. But it's up to the people of Venezuela do decide that and then act upon it, not the deranged USA administration.

in most cases yes… but not if the plan is just to turn Venezuela into an all you can eat buffet for the American regime
