Better for your health too, they are obsessed with too much sugar in everything
What is it called when you’re actually proud of seeing your country exposed as the tyrannical monster you’ve always known it to be, are happy to see other nations no longer kissing its ass, and desire nothing more than for the rulers of the nation to fall and suffer as you have?
It’s this weird Reverse Patriotism I’m filled with
Heimvergeltungsstolz?
Google says this isn’t a word
The funny thing about german is you can make new compound words to describe something. It could be a bit nonsensical without context but it should translate roughly to “homeland-retribution-pride”.
dunno, but I’ve been an anarchist for a while, and I feel it every time I see someone stand up to these assholes I paid taxes to, that one time I made enough money to pay taxes.
solidarity with the free, or at least hoping-to-be-less-constrained, peoples of the world, certainly. we need something shorter.
i also find an odd kind of half solidarity with my ancestors who fought in the second world war, against what america is trying to be, and sort of always was, but were very much flag waving ‘rarara america’ patriots the rest of their lives at the same time.
point being that the non-shitty people from this awful shit hole country aren’t going to begrudge anyone ditching the awful garbage that gets made here. ‘made in america’ mostly means prison slaves anyway. edit:the people who make the decisions and own the stuff here have no common interest with the common people. we are all bludgeoned or manipulated into not putting up a fight. which isn’t to say there aren’t enough insane fanatics and bloated military budget to be a serious threat to the free world, but, like, please fuck our shit up. it’s not like any of us ever see any benefit from it anyway.
maybe it’s… hope?
like, the assholes in charge have never represented us or our interests. they own everything around us. I will never own a home. I know maybe one person in this shit hole country who’s got even a remote shot at that, who didn’t inherit the noble title of ‘property owner’. none of the supposed prosperity of this place reaches me. I know so many people who have died of preventable illness, and the hoops I had to jump through to get antibiotics for a major injury last year would have killed someone less stubborn. I doubt much of the imperial pillage and fruit of all this internal productivity reaches you. even the old public works projects are a thing that has largely passed from living memory. ancient monuments to a bygone society that I can barely comprehend from old books. We voted for some new ones here in california, twenty years ago, then again and again to increase funding for them, and have yet to see them materialize-because of interference, deliberate interference to keep us from having nice things, by the fuckers who profit off the fact we need to eat food and sleep indoors but have never held a hammer or driven a tractor, by the fuckers who declare war having never been ordered into peril themselves, by the fuckers who work us to the bone until we die, and tell us it’s what we deserve. maybe people in a better position to stand up to these bastards and do some damage to the things they care about actually doing it is what hope feels like.
maybe it will help more of us stand up ourselves. that would be cool.
It’s called being an anti imperialist that lives in the imperial core. Next start listening to some Michael Parenti. Sadly it’s taken the US directing it’s imperialism at western countries to wake up to it. But better late than never.
Schadenfreude?
Happiness at the misfortune of others? No… not really. I’m not happy that other people are suffering, I’m happy that people have accurately identified the source of their suffering.
I’d say while it’s a fine sentiment, Turkey isn’t really the best choice as far as being a hybrid regime ruled by the same guy for decades. Good food though.
I see Turkish products are a LOT cheaper than the American stuff.
I would have replaced it with a Mexican food aisle
Mexican on the bottom half of shelves, Canadian on the top half of shelves.
no, most of the good canadian stuff would be fridge/freezer, or is already in another aisle. and im sorry, but mexican food is a contender for ‘world’s best’. canadian food is just fine; maybe ill crave poutine on a cold day.
edit, to canadians: losing a ‘best cuisine’ to mexico is like losing a boxing match to muhammad ali in his prime. there is no shame in this. they’re just better than you. they’re probably better than everybody.
fuck that’s such a good idea. mexican food is so much better, and better for you.
Pretty ironic, considering that Turkey under Erdogan is just as close to dictatorship as the US under Trump…
There is a huge Turkish population in Germany, that seems to be the most probable reason.
but they’re not as loudly shitty to europeans about it.
Turkiye also has a large military industry looking to sell to the EU, a large military, and wants control over the black sea (which involves weakening Russia), and wants to be as friendly to the EU as possible to eventually get that coveted EU membership.
Yeah, an opportunistic authoritarian, but a useful one in this dire emergency.
So you’re fine when authoritarianism benefits you ?? I am learning more & more
Yes, we do, as does anyone who lives in the real world.
I would like to see everyone stop eating anything Italian just because we have a literal fascist running the government.
I’ll do it…
Nickname checks out for no respect to own and others’ quality of life.
Everyone knows Randian economics is all about self denial and standing up to fascists for the betterment of global society.
You are being sarcastic, right?
Beggars can’t be choosers. There are not enough democracies around to ally oneself just with those
good, probably much tastier too
maybe even healthier.
maybe evencertainly healthier.Fixed that for you. Anything is healthier than American “food”. Even British foods, possibly.
As an American, British food is healthier, yes. Most of the time I’m eating import food because of how gross American products are.
Good upgrade honestly
TURKEY MENTIONED 🇹🇷
hur durr - we know… we read it too. But thanks Captain Obvious.

Wait until they hear about Erdogan.
Virtually no one here likes Erdogan whatsoever, but our interests in relation to Ukraine and weakening USA/Russia aligns in this particular case. Turkey is a large country that actually borders the EU and has the largest non-European diaspora living here; keeping somwhat cood relations makes sense, even if I’d never want to see them join the Union and know we can never fully trust them.
As we lost our biggest ally, trading with another large country with a significant military makes perfect sense. Besides, Turkish food is actually great, especially compared to murican trash
Totally get that, and I won’t ever make any false equivalence or both-sides arguments.
I was just surprised they went with Turkish instead of, say, Mexican or Spanish, or another country not as problematic.
Well, seeing as it’s written in German: Germany’s and Austria’s largest national minorities are Turks. Estimates are tough, but at least 3 million people (probably more like 5 million) in Germany have Turkish ‘migrationshintergrund’ and up to 500 000 people in Austria. Many have been there since the early 1960s, and, although it hasn’t been all smooth sailing, Turkish culture and food has a significant place in both countries. So with that in mind I think this choice makes sense. Mexican food is lovely imo, but Germans don’t have particular ties to the culture, people or food. (Not to mention the fact that whenever there’s “Mexican” food in Europe broadly it’s a watered-down version of tex-mex, which I do still like anyway)

- He is a million times better than Trump and has far far less blood on his hands than either Trump or Biden
- Turkiye isn’t engaging in economic warfare against Europe
- Turkiye welcomed Syrian and Ukrainian refugees escaping the wars
- Turkiye supports Ukraine in various ways such as drones
Turkiye is a Muslim country as well as a European country, so it is in an odd place to be but also bridges both worlds.
Edit: I know about the Kurds, I am from the Middle East. Turkiye had a history of racist nationalism that Erdogan actually campaigns against. Turkiye and Erdogan are not angels or innocent but are a far lesser evil than many others.
He literally blocks all new NATO membership and you claim he has no blood on his hands?
Edit: and I assume he has finally taken action towards earthquake building safety? Or is that still just god’s will?
Edit2: funny that you have time to talk to me about cookie flavors but pretend these questions don’t exist
ITT: people ignoring the genocides they’ve committed, while pointing out other’s
I’m sorry but all the campaigning in the world doesn’t matter when he can’t stop the oppression of Kurds as the leader of his country.
You didn’t mention the Kurds. Turkey’s action towards Kurds is one of the main reasons to dislike Turkey.
Turkey is a secular land, and fuck you and your Ergodan apologia
Türklündar
I mean, Germany doesn’t even have English on their labels. Everything except English 💀
Krasnov Trump American isle was removed.
I bet it doesn’t have as much chemicals as in the US.
