Boeing has already lost the global market to Airbus. The competition with Comac will be for second place.

De-addiction centres? (Although personally I don't think smoking should be banned as long as the smoker does not expose others to the poison.)

I think the more useful thing to do is not to hide these stereotypes, but to state and then question them. There's this passage from Lords and Ladies -

Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.

Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.

Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.

Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.

Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.

Elves are terrific. They beget terror.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

Elves can then be used as an allegory of how the aristocracy does the most horrible things one can imagine, but then surround themselves with an air of refinement.

stories about helicopters firing missiles without targeting carefully or those girls in tanks firing on kibbutz homes without a clear idea of who is inside

Does anyone have a 'reputable' (i.e. Western or at least Al Jazeera) source for both of these? I need to show some people.

It is funny, and shows the context in which neonazis are regaining vround in Germany. It also has unscripted scenes where 'Hitler' talks to ordinary Germans and promises to solve all their problems.

You can make cattle feed out of it though.

The german greens are further to the right than even the AfD.

There's a German movie where Hitler reincarnates and joins the Green Party.

Who's the lady on the right?

Many European countries as well - Ireland and Spain were expected, but France, Norway, Belgium and even Poland seem to have voted yes.
