Serious question: Django doesn't even have lazy loading. Why do people use it? Am I missing something? No way I'd wait a few seconds to get something big from the db
Not to mention that germany did absolutely fucking nothing against VW when dieselgate happened. Still waiting to see Winterkorn & friends under the guillotine for scamming the entire world.
What happened instead? Normal engineers got blamed instead of executives. Fucking capitalism and fucking CDU, SPD and FDP. The sole reason for their existence is to sack money from lobbyists.
When you have people like Schäuble, a piece of shit that was convicted for corruption in 1999, who was the minister of finance for the past couple of years in germany, it makes sense that germany does nothing against big corporate.
> Not to mention that germany did absolutely fucking nothing against VW when dieselgate happened.
VW (and Audi etc.) top executives are under criminal investigations. Their houses and offices have been searched multiple times.

Sorry, we don't have capital punishment. And the guillotine is a bit too French for our taste, anyway (also, it was used by the GDR, so not a good role model).
While it is true that Germany has legalized and not so legalized corruption in politics, it makes no sense to single out VW. All large companies have "government affairs" departments which sadly provide great return on investment. If only the people had a government affairs department...
He failed to do anything about cum-cum/cum-ex.
He came up with a tax on fuel for nuclear power plants, that I am convinced was deliberately designed to be in violation of the constitution, leading to a 7 billion tax-revenue loss.
Not to speak of his views law and order and how the wrecked Greece because he doesn't understand economics.
Then again you are using the North American definition for left and socialist, because the North American liberals are neither of those two.
Edit: to be fair though, I wouldn't consider liberals of any definition to be left or socialist. They might have some left leaning positions on immigration or the environment, but due to their capitalist nature they can not be considered left.
Not really, I mean Bernie Sanders is not a Socialist since he doesn't want to nationalize any industries which is really the sine qua non of socialism. He is a Social Democrat. Actual socialists usually identify as Leftists instead of Liberals.
Social Democrats are definitely Socialists. That's fair game.
And if Bernie were Emperor for a while, he'd nationalize a few industries, surely. I can barely imagine would Trump would do if he could just make up the law as well.
Disagree. Bernie doesn't advocate socializing any industries. Even Medicare for All would leave hospitals and doctors as private employees. He isn't going out there saying we should have nationalized the Big Three car companies instead of giving them a bailout, or trying to nationalize the banks, or anything else. He's a social democrat, he wants a strong public safety net tied with private ownership of capital. That's a perfectly fine political position, but it's not socialism.
There's a huge difference between what one advocates as a position as a politician trying to get/stay elected in a two-party democracy, and what they'd be willing to force through if they were all-powerful.
As an example, do you think that, given the ability to enact whatever legal changes he wanted, Bernie Sanders would nationalize our telecommunications infrastructure? Or our health care system?
I don't have any specific, citable reason to think he would, but I think there's plenty of reason to believe they're things he might want to do.
Yes, I agree, but your bit: " because the North American liberals are neither of those two." I inferred as liberal in the sense of what people are called, whereas I guess you meant to imply classical liberal, which I guess would be 'Libertarian' but even that label doesn't apply well in the US as it's a fairly populist movement.
