Bartender: “Wait, are you guys even old enough to drink?”

Orion: “Do you really want to mess with members of the Tricou family?”

Bartender: “… Alright, two glasses of nectar, poured, coming up!”

Why is nobody helping poor Kestrel, though?!

Humans are inherently stupid creatures (the writer of this post included). That’s just a fact. We decide on a basis of “what’s best for me” (screw all the others), and if there’s someone who tells them that all the bad things happening to them (no job, no money- people in need actually get money from our state, but many feel that’s that not enough- and maybe, it really is-, no perspective) is because the state would much rather help The Others, then, unfortunately, people will vote for them. Couple that with racist sentiments and a sense of foreign infiltration and you got a toxic cocktail. It’s suddenly become fashionable again to be racist. Just like antisemitism became fashionable again in the late 1800s- early 1900s.

It’s probably gonna be fine, the party will destroy itself (has already happened in at least one state parliament), in fact, it has already started- one member of the party flat out refuses to work with the others…

I guess we’ll see in another four years.

Why my country is f*cked

The German general election was today and our very own right-wing extremist/protest party got over 13% (Very recently, they told the public that they would “hunt down” chancellor Merkel (she’s been re-elected. We have the tendency to keep our chancellors for a very long time.) and the established parties, and chanted “Germany back to the Germans”. 

Also, the preach water but drink wine (they are against homosexuals or at least giving homosexuals certain rights (they are very focused on the nuclear family, going as far as demonising single parents), immigrants, and refugees, but one of their chairwomen is a lesbian in a relationship with an Asian woman, who has adopted a child and has recently come under fire for illegally hiring a refugee woman as a cleaning lady… yeah.).

I mean, that would be bad enough if it happened in every other country, but f*cking Germany?! You’d think people would read a history book, but nooo…

And don’t even get me started on the fact that we now have 6 parties in our parliament, which unfortunately also means that we’ll have a three-party government and therefore, an unstable government. We specifically have a law that tries to prevent this (”5% barrier”) because back in the old days, we had a myriad of parties and no working government, which kind of led to Hitler.

On the positive side, 87% of all voters didn’t vote for the second coming of Hitler. (Yeah, I have a very strong opinion on that. Sorry.)
