Diversity initiatives were meant to overcome the old patterns of nepotism, so I guess it makes sense that the enemies of diversity are big fans of nepotism.

A girl wrote in: I did a background check on a guy I met on Hinge and found out he was convicted of fraud and has been lying about his age. Should I cancel our dinner plans?

Now she mad at me because I recapped what she said and asked was this a real question.

Saw that Jagged Edge is on tour but then the only tickets left (resale) are +$200. Absolutely not.

I was a child in the 2008 financial crisis. I remember my lifestyle changed but I never went without. Idk what my parents were going through and hiding from me behind the scenes. Being an adult in whatever crisis this orange buffoon is trying to cause is gonna be so ass.

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.
