Esperanto is more like Common. A language that everyone speaks, more or less, can only be something from an imperialist power or a neutral ground created for that.

Me, yesterday: “I shouldn’t put that booklet with the discounts to show at the checkout in the back pocket of my jeans, it’ll fall out and I’ll be in trouble.”
Me: do it anyway.
Me, at the checkout: “Fuck, I lost the booklet”
Oooh I totally forgot that I did play with MS Paint! I invented cities, countries, or I just did what you described. Fun times!

Zloubida@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the point of constitutional monarchies? Why even keep the monarchy in place if they aren't even doing anything?3·2 days agoI like this image. I’m a citizen of a small monarchy, and I used to be a staunch republican (in the European sense). I’m still not a big fan of the monarchy, but it’s a way to help conservatives feel secure while being, in fine, more open than the neighboring republics. But we don’t have a House of Lords or any nobility beside the reigning immediate family, so that helps accepting the monarchy.

Star Trek occurs almost only within the Milky Way, and Star Wars occurs “a long time ago”.
It’s full of shit since the very first paragraph 😅.
It felt like that.😅
But the truth is that the stress wounded my intestines.
Oh I had my first one earlier than that!

Criticising those who criticise liberals for acting morally superior and not taking action to feel morally superior and not have to take action to feel morally superior and not have to take action to feel morally superior and not have to take action.

For the, the main source of proto-fascism is nationalism. The form of governement is secondary.
I am a citizen of two countries: a republic and a monarchy. Both are advanced European liberal democracies.
One has a strong far right, refuse to acknowledge its own regional languages because of the threat they pose to the national unity and has a very strong head of state that can decide a lot of things alone, without being responsible before the Parliament.
The other has almost no far right, a very numerous immigrated population, recognizes three national languages but officially communicates in two other languages spoken by its two biggest immigrated communities, has a weak head of state and a strong Parliament.
Which one is the most “proto-fascist”? The first.
Which one is a monarchy? The second.
