I guess we're screwed

I know it as "Seitdem das Deutsche Reich besteht wird die Schraube rechts gedreht" ("Since the German Reich was founded, the screw has been turned to the right"), I always assumed it was because many things were standardized between the German states after unification and that this was one of these things, but I can't find any reference to that.
It looks like shit though
That thing looks AI generated. Better than what we got but still ridiculous. I mean, it's huge but still somehow doesn't really seem to have much space for passengers or cargo at the same time
Also, why is the cabin aerodynamic while the hood is not? The whole thing is nonsensical
Land of the free
There are many more examples than just Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan comes to mind but also many other Muslim countries use Islam and Shari'a law to control the population or use religious laws as an excuse for their authoritarianism. No religion is free of that.
The Chinese approach is far more effective I fear. The Soviet way worked only with mixed results and was more ideology driven than logical. In Poland, the Catholic Church became a huge factor in the opposition because of that. If religion is deeply rooted in society, controlling and steering religion makes for a powerful tool to control the masses while fighting it automatically makes it a strong opposition force.
A desk reject, also known as a desk rejection, is when your paper is turned down by a journal or conference, prior to them sending it out for review. It basically means: either your paper is rejected for technical reasons (i.e., not within the page limits or clearly written by AI) or it's so shitty, nobody wants to waste the reviewer's time.
Ein simples nein hätte gereicht
Lol, sure it does
Two choices is not complete control
No, a lot worse
