You clearly have no clue what you're talking about. These protests are about people being angry that Sanchez might offer amnesty to those catalunyans who broke the law by having an illegal rather than legal referendum.

Most people didn't support the referendum, it had already been ruled illegal, and only those that were separatist voted.

Again, you do not understand how a multi party parliament works. Sanchez didn't really lose the election. The left wing parties got as many seats as the right wing parties with the junts sitting in the middle as mild king makers (they cannot help the right, they can only cause another election in which they will likely get wiped out).

And again, if Sanchez and the PSOE do not form a government but the PP and Vox do, then Spain will be ruled by an authoritarian ultra right nationalist party that has stated they intend on putting more national police and Guardia civil in Catalunya to prevent even protests.

Yet somehow, in all your political wisdom, are angry that Sanchez might give assistance to the people in trouble for having the referendum and thus he should be ousted so that the fascists can come in to power?

There is a legal path required in the constitution with which Catalunya can have a referendum. It is a high bar and involves support from more than just the people actively living there (as they are currently part of Spain and those Spaniards also have a vested interest in major changes to their country). People should really stop acting like this is some authoritarian regime and that they totally understand this Catalunya situation.

You people cheering on the separatists are also big fans of Brexit right? I'm not in Catalunya so it wouldn't impact me much. Might make my property value go way up as people flee if they did actually leave. But it would be a disaster for them worse than Brexit for the UK. And it is being pushed in a very similar us vs them rhetoric.

Also this title is such US two party centric hyperbolic bullshit. Sanchez has the most likely chance of forming a coalition in a multi party government. Claiming PP won with 32 percent of the vote and should get to rule with the ultra right ultra nationalist Vox because he got more votes than PSOE is a trash take by someone who doesn't realize multi party systems exist in most of the civilized world.

Personally, while I am in Spain, I don't have strong feelings about the amnesty. On the one hand, they knew they were breaking the law and I'm all for corrupt politicians from any party being put in prison. On the other hand, I don't want to see Vox get any bigger as they are far too large already. I would also like the heavy handed cops that got violent during the illegal referendum to be punished as well.

And Hong Kong? Fucking really? You think they are real happy about that choice these days?

It's really a complicated issue. They broke the law. They knew they were breaking the law. As far as democracy goes, there is a legal path for them to take but it is a much higher bar (similar to the bar of adding an amendment to the constitution). They chose not to. They were warned. Now they are being held accountable. That being said, the heavy hand that the national government used also made things worse.

This amnesty isn't for the average separatist. It is for the politicians who broke constitutional laws. I live in another region of Spain and hold no strong feelings about the amnesty either way. My biggest worry is how the whole thing plays out and if it gives vox(super right wing party) a boost within the national politics. We are a literally just like 3 parliamentary seats from having them hold massive sway over the government here.

Honestly this whole country, Catalunya included, would be better off if all that shit hadn't happened. For them it would've been worse than Brexit. Regardless of what they think. And once it happened, it certainly gave a rallying cry for Vox and their ultranationalism.

I also really want this current government to stay in so they can maybe spend another four years trying to fix that bullshit gag law that they failed to do this term. I am not a fan of PP and I cannot imagine the damage they will do when they are held hostage by Vox.

Holy shit. He gets weirder? He's such a neckbeard in the first few that I stopped at like book 4. Maybe 3. I don't even remember. To be worse, he must start complementing their feet in public or some shit.

I didn't even mind the writing. I read the first three or four. I could even get past some of the cliche shit like electronics breaking because he's a wizard harry. But he is such a m'lady neckbeard that I just gave up.

Last I checked, Trump is still sadly winning. I think he just seems himself in Desantis. And he knows he wouldn't pardon Desantis so he doubts Desantis would pardon him. And also that Desantis could eat some portion of his vote.

I mean, you've seen her, right? Doesn't she just look guilty for some reason?

This is tankie garbage. Syngman Rhee was certainly horrible. But he was not instated. He was voted in. He had a very long history of being in Korean politics. He was certainly given a boost by the Americans. But he was also given a boost by Kim refusing to participate in the elections.

And let us not pretend that the soviets and Chinese involved were just liberators. They had their own political games they were playing and boosted Kim just as much. The elections in the north were completely controlled by the soviets. And you gripe about the presence of American troops, but support the Chinese troops in the north.

The north didn't invade for fun. The north invaded because Kim thought he could have even more power and that the US would not intervene. He was wrong. He would have been completely removed had it not been for the Chinese.

Both sides had imperialistic outside support from corrupt governments. Both sides used totalitarianism to maintain control. One side is currently the most inhumane country on the planet and the other has a modern standard of living. To say the south was worse in a very short time period is ridiculous. In reality, due to the harsh restrictions and cult of personality in the north we do not even really know how bad the north was. The standard of living may have been better, but concerning totalitarian governments it is impossible to say.

So you'd be cool with people doing this in Spanish on Texas and Florida beaches right? And I mean people should definitely never travel to a foreign place without a decent grasp of the local language. Not like world exploration is something that can be a life altering experience. Or could help people empathize with different types of culture. Nope. Everyone should stay in their own little bubble. And honestly that applies to states, districts, etc. Hell even towns. Because Alabama and California are super different and have different customs. But even Houston and Austin Texas are way too different to go into each other's areas without having a firm grasp on local customs. Barcelona and Aragon are so very different that many of them don't even speak the same language. One of my neighbors and I don't get along real well. Perhaps we should really only stay in our houses.

I mean, I don't play pachinko, but I think it'd be more fun if the balls had the birds on them and you knocked some piggies down as you bounced down the machine or at least knocked them down at the bottom depending on where you landed.

I love crosscode. Although I'd say it is more of an action rpg than a jrpg. The combat system is real time hack and slash with only a select set of special abilities you unlock as you play.

Still, the other elements are very jrpg-ish. Loads of people, items, and exploration. And lots of talking.
