Would this be considered whitewashing though? From my understanding whitewashing is a practice that “hides” diversity, while in this case the goal would be to get rid of the racist background. Also, the goal would be to change the tradition itself, not simply leaving Zwarte Piet as a black man represented by white people, right?

I am reading those kinds of comments as playfully mocking, especially when the followup is so obviously exaggerated. Wouldnt mind someone using it on me. Im not a native English speaker though so maybe Im just ignorant of the real implicated meaning.

So if monarchs would have succeeded in suppressing democracy until today (not very far fetched by the way), that would be proof of Democracy being a bad system?
Think about what youre even saying.

What is this bullshit argument?
Your argument.
What is this bullshit argument? If a lightbulb stops working after 10 years, is it as useless as a lightbulb that breaks after 10 minutes?
Did I write they have to be impossible to overturn?
Why are you implying that real communism would be easily overturned? Its never been implemented.
- Comment on Hrmmmmm 1 week ago:
So just to be clear, there doesnt currently exist a political system that works, as they all have been overturned multiple times?
- Comment on Hrmmmmm 1 week ago:
So youre saying a political system can only work if there is not a single aspect that can be taken advantage of? Thats equivalent to every single person being controlled 100% in their actions. If thats your idea of ideal, sure. I guess some people currently being in leading positions would agree with you.

This is like saying the idea of solar panels is bad because capitalists work against them to destroy their reputation. Judging a system based on the assumption that theres someone else trying to destroy it is very simple minded.

It is definitely a bad idea because such a trip, especially in an unpredictable setting like this, can turn upside down real quick and the last thing a woman giving birth needs is some guys freaking out and needing the personnels attention. If you really respect the act of giving birth you should minimize the risks of it going wrong (you could argue that theyre getting paid and its their choice to take the risk, but thats kind of like saying sex workers could do an other job if they dont enjoy it). The same goes for people who want to visit in the first few days after birth, just because theyre “so excited for the baby they cant wait to see it”. Think of the woman who went through hell a few hours ago and probably feels like a truck hit her in the face right now. Leave her the f alone. If they invite you, cool.

Christianity (and most religions) always has been a way for people to cope with their fears and guilt. ‘what happens after we die?’ -> ‘its heaven dont worry’. ‘Am I a bad person?’ -> ‘no Jesus died for you dont worry fam’
- Comment on Insuranace is a joke 5 weeks ago:
What do you mean ‘the insurance’? The other parties insurance, right? They usually have to provide an equivalent replacement, accepting a payment should be your choice. Dont know what its like in your specific case though.

This is not special. Just because our government was stupid enough to ever consider voting for it in the first place doesnt make ‘voting for the only sane option’ something to be proud of.
This is like your kid telling you they set the house on fire, you panic and then they go ‘nah jk I only wrecked your car’ and youre like ‘Im so proud of you’

What kind of argument is this? They werent fascists because they didnt do a hostile takeover of the government back then? Looks like all my relatives and friends cant be christians because they dont read the bible out loud right in front of me.

Youre really using me as a mirror arent you? I wish you well and that you may find the strength to overcome your arrogance.
Btw Im a man with a wife and just a shred of empathy, thats why we dont fight about the seat position. But sure, keep feeling superior for making people touch your piss. Sad.
