I would just ask my noob friend to help me with an Arena deck , without telling him I ' m actually building an Upsidedown Arena ! tavern deck . Guaranteed 100 % winrate . <| sep |> What could nonestablishment members possibly gain by joining such a thing ? Access ? They don ' t need access to Merkel , they need access to her successors , who aren ' t in the clubYou need to stop viewing Europe through American lenses . European democracies aren ' t dominated by corporate interests and wealthy donerslobbyists . In many countries there are laws against politicians outright lying that are enforced .
