    “Tankie” is just a derogatory term for anyone to the left of the person saying it


    anarchists will use it for almost literally anyone

    Great logic. Almost as if you’re speaking shite, unless anarchists are on the right now…







  • I have books in languages I don’t or barely understand, some in topics I know fuck all about. Does that disbar me from being the nationality that I am?

    Is this an American comment that I’m too European to understand?

    Like… wtf, people can’t own books in other languages now?

    Who’s to say he doesn’t know Polish? Who’s to say it’s even his and not a family member’s?

    This is such an arbitrary and meaningless detail to pick up on in an attempt to disprove the legitimacy of a photograph of a guy who looks very likely to be Gottfrid, that it reeks of anti intellectualism.

    I do believe, you may in fact, perhaps, be a nerd.

    You don’t happen to have a simple how-to or wiki for these services do you?

    Official documentation is all well and good but sometimes it can be a nightmare to follow and understand (Nextcloud for example had me pulling my hair) for us mere nerdlings that haven’t achieved full nerdhood yet.




  • De Gaulle vetoed the British application to join the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1963, famously uttering the single word ‘non’ into the television cameras at the critical moment, a statement used to sum up French opposition towards Britain for many years afterwards.[41] Macmillan said afterwards that he always believed that de Gaulle would prevent Britain joining, but thought he would do it quietly, behind the scenes. He later complained privately that “all our plans are in tatters”.[35]

    American President John F. Kennedy urged de Gaulle to accept the United Kingdom in the EEC, stating that a Europe without Great Britain would create a situation in which the United States were bearing the enormous costs of Europe’s protection without any voice. Kennedy applied pressure to de Gaulle by threatening to withdraw American troops from European soil, but de Gaulle believed that the United States would lose the Cold War if they were to leave Europe.[42] It encouraged de Gaulle to see Great Britain as America’s “Trojan Horse”.[43]
