There is a pretty good reasons why shopping local is better in the long run:

The money you put in stays local in large parts or entirely and keeps the comminuty alive, paying peoples jobs, who in turn pay other people once they buy local.

Large companies siphon the communities wealth away until there is nothing left, before closing shop and running of to the next victim, leaving empoverisht people behind.

The effect is compounding. The more local shops close, the more other jobs dissappear and the less people have. Then they are forced to move away or buy less in general. Other firms cant hold their workers and have to cut down wages, or let people go due to reduced business operstion because no one can afford their services, continuing the spiral.

At the end of that process, all you will find are dollar-stores and junkfood-chains in your area. It happened a few times already and the effect is well understood.

TLDR: Shopping local is good for the community, buying everything online is siphoning money away from it instead.

Just in case, I assume this opion is brought forth in good faith.

While you could might be correct on paper, the reality is that between “Helping prevent Genocide” and “Anything else” is much clearer.

Does that make you a russian bot? I would say yes, it does. Because there is no middle ground here, no “enlightend centrist”, towering over us plebs who care for human lives not being devastet.

Maybe the Ukrain Goverment has a problem with corruption, hell I agree it probably does. Every Government has to deal with this.

What not every Goverment has is an active Genocide waged against its people.

Having corruption does not excuse to allow Genocide. And stading idly by is doing just that!

The evil guy is missing his MAGA hat…

You can be white and Muslim.

Not the typical media portrait, but certainly common in the real world

Religion of Peace strikes again.

With rocks most likely.

This opinion is true, unpopular and truly unpolular.

Who hurt you?

Literally Hitler

(No need to thank me)

Are you concern-trolling? Because it feels like it.

Third-Positionists claim to be centrist, arguing “bOtH sIdEs hAvE a fAiR pOIIInT”. You cant just genocide “a tiny bit” or being “a little bit racist”, but in giving credit to the rights ideas, you enable them. Its even on wikipedia and is accuratly mentioning the “Fascism on the left” thing.

She is supporting Putin, a fascist dictator and is spreading missinformation on the matter. Google search: “Sarah Wagenknecht on Putin”. I tried it just know and boy there is a lot.

The other point: This article mentions she calls herself a “left-conservative”, which is an oxymoron, and also just regular moron. Or in her case, dishonesty. Because that would be social, but also national, fusing into national-social(ism). Also anti-climate regulation, calling it “blind planless Eco-Activism, costing people money, but actually doing nothing for the climate”. Literal denial of the efforts we make to safe the world. Another very Fascist talking point. Fascist cant defeat the Climate Crisis, because you cant it by being racist and unfuckable, some of the only things they actually do well.

(Source is in German, sorry for that)

Also: Economic Policies ARE Social Policies. If you are right on them, you are just on the right. The idea that both are separated is naive at best and active malice at worst.

Sarah Wagenknecht is basically a Tankie and quite popular with the right.

Her leaving the left party (“Die Linke”), potentially siphoning votes from the right and causing fragmentation there is a good thing.

Also remember: Wanting to appeal to the left AND the right is just a third-positionist, which just ends up being another flavor of Fascism.

I would not trust her, but I recommend reading further into the matter to get an accurate picture.

Bro you don’t need to decouple

Trust me Bro it’s fine

You are listening to me Bro, right?

Me: “Interesting thought.”

Me after reading the comments: “This shit is more complex then family relationships in Austrian Royalty.”

Before anyone comes in with “Religion of Peace” statements: Conservative Christians would do the same if they were in charge. Or in fact any hardliner + religion combo.

The Authoritarin Aspect is more the problem, then religion. But yes Religion is very susceptible to this.

There are a lot of reasons, but I think it boils down to the people in charge do not want the embarrassement of crawling back to the EU.

It would be total ego destruction and that is simply untennable. This is what happens when the right gets enough power to make a change and then has to experience consequences.

Something something leopards and faces.

I recently heard the argument that no men would mentally survive loosing to a women in chess, especially grandmasters.

ngl I wonder if this contains more then a kernel of truth
