Yeah, but at least he's not pretending he isn't. Not that that makes it better.

Probably not surprising to anyone, but not entirely uninteresting.

Works for me with a VPN to Australia, so yeah, probably just ISPs being shit. Nothing new, I guess.

Yeah, I've tried from a lot of different VPN locations. Wasn't able to find any DW is blocked in.

Do they? To my knowledge, providing news for the world is pretty much their declared purpose.

Every time I read about the Japanese justice system, it just seems like abject horror.

I want to buy the whole of Switzerland.

Yeah, that was the impression I got too. Miserable guy, who wants to make everyone else more miserable than he is.

Yeah. I mean, the whole free speech thing is cool and all, but this seems like it should be seen as a direct threat.

Just because I found it's interesting and tangentialy related, here's a bunch of statistics on the BRICS States by the German federal office of statistics.

Auto-translate should work. The statistic on CO₂ Emissions might be slightly unfair, as I assume a lot of that is directly, or indirectly related to production for G7 countries.

The thing is, liberal means something rather specific to me - open, against regulations. If you're socially liberal, I'm probably on board. If your liberal regarding the financial market, we'll probably disagree.

I suppose someone who is extremely liberal in all regards following this definition would be what most people in the U.S. would call a libertarian.

In the end, shouting at clouds about me thinking that people are using words wrong won't do much, and generally I'm very open to language evolving, but this one always gets me because it's one region specifically using it differently than what I learned.
