    I support the name and shame, but don’t expect this to go anywhere. These fuckers have been getting away with this garbage for far too long.

    Whom amongst us hasn’t accepted concert tickets from a conservative German aristocrat?

    Also, a technicality but once a country abolishes nobility, the noun becomes “pretender” not “aristocrat.” I know keeping track of titles is complicated but it’s only polite to use the correct terms.

    After he[r] reinvention as a conservative Catholic activist, she drew criticism in 2001 after saying on a television talkshow that the high rate of Aids in Africa was due, not to a lack of safe sex, but because “the Blacks like to copulate a lot”. She later tried to amend her remarks, saying Africans had a lot of sex due to the continent’s hot climate.

    Wow!

      They want to conserve attitudes towards minority groups that were prevalent in the 1950s. They want to conserve the power of the wealthy ruling class. They want to conserve corporation’s ability to ruin the planet for short term gain.

    They literally ruled that “gratuities” (what most people would call bribes) are not a crime. Of course they’re taking all the “gratuities” they can get the corrupt mfers.

    There are no German aristocrats. There are people with inheritable, but meaningless titles, though.
