  • Democrats let fascism ramp up without doing anything, and now they aren't doing anything to even slow it down. Are you denying that this is the American situation?

    I'm saying this is what centrism does when the slightest hint of fascism starts pushing and shoving: they give in, pretend to compromise, they're happy when the fascist says "fine, we'll cut our expectations for 20 crimes against humanity down to 10, but it'll be back next week" and they pretend that's progress. Sometimes they put their foot down, but only when putting your foot down has zero effect, and they say "see, we tried".

    That is centrism, that is what Democrats did, and that is what's happening here too with those "reasonable" parties. The "reasonable" argument is only on this side of the Atlantic, of course the Nazis in the US aren't even pretending to have any reasonable discussion. But they did have a phase claiming that the Dems were rude and not doing anything bipartisan, which is why the Democrats tried so hard to project this image of reaching across the aisle for so long. See where that got them.

  • The "reasonable left", the PS, wants to say that they still play ball, that they can be part of a government, that they're not here to destroy the country, that they can work to keep the institutions working. But they never get any compromise going in their favor, and when they say "see, we tried" it's already too late, and nothing they do gets anywhere, after they've killed anything the actual left tries.

    This is not reasonable. This is collaboration. We have proof of where that goes with the Democrats in the US. Only the right wing calls them reasonable because they allow the right to pass everything they want. Reasonable means you sign off on everything and get nothing.

  • Some places translated it as popular new front instead of new popular front? That's missing the point of the claim that it's reviving the old popular front from the 1930s.

  • There is no working with the "center" / center-right, they proved that again and again and again, they have not made a single compromise while constantly complaining that the left doesn't want to work with them. Working with someone means both sides give something to the other, and the right only ever takes and never gives anything. They have to learn to play ball.

  • They're finding issue with mtf athletes playing against a league of individuals who didn't go through puberty as a male. That's clearly an advantage, and to say otherwise is to ignore science altogether.

    That would be an argument worth discussing if the Nazis weren't also trying to ban puberty blockers and frothing at the mouth claiming the trans agenda is coming for their kids. But no, right now, that's a garbage bad faith argument, because it already has an obvious answer. That's how they poison the discussion.

  • I will invert your ribcage

    The vikings called that the blood eagle, it wasn't so much unsettling, more like horrifying. (we don't know if it was real or just stories)

  • Since Reps started claiming they were being oppressed and that they had their free speech silenced. They don't like a mom that punishes them for being Nazis.

  • Bizarro jury nullification, where it's okay to give life in prison to someone you think is innocent. And the idea probably originated from someone who would tell you that it's wrong to inform people that jury nullification exists.

  • Ketchup or mustard?

  • 100% garanteed Bardella and the whole party do Nazi salutes between themselves. Just never in public - those who do get kicked out. The US far right simply tested the boundary long enough to realize that no one will do shit about any of it - but Europe still pushes back when we see it.

  • Where Nazis are in power, it doesn't exist. And Nazis think their laws are the world's law. And also they still pretend to miss the point even when others very clearly state it to their face.

  • Only because Russia is failing to do what they've really wanted to do since the beginning, or did you forget Bucha.

    They're still stealing children by the thousands though.

  • Fuck the judge's feelings though, "if it really was that important you should have complained harder" is an insane take from the worst kind of bad teacher attitude.

  • Yeah, whatever Trump decides to do with the US membership, there's nothing he can do about everyone else. He can pick his the US' toys and leave, NATO will be weaker, but Europe will still want an alliance to defend themselves, even if Trump tries to pressure individual members.

    People claiming it's dead are delusional.

  • Careful,people who don't understand the trolley problem are gonna complain again that there are only two options.

  • What precedent? McConnell already set that in stone. And Gingrich before that.

  • Ah yes, the pain of all Ancient Egypt Youtube channels these last couple decades. And the TV show Archer.

  • That'll be the question: who's gonna come to grab these judges, and who's gonna stand in the way and say fuck off. And then who's gonna drop their pants first, or who's gonna shoot first...

  • What you're pretending to miss is that those in powers are making sure that those people remain "illegal" , on purpose. In the first place, you're the one creating the situation of them being "in the country illegally".

    The correct solution is to give them papers, not to deport them and treat them like criminals for a situation you put them in. Remember that the "you're on the table" argument that you claim is reasonable is putting them in prison where you can exploit them harder as slaves, it's only one step after what's happening to them already.

    Everyone can be illegal if you don't make anyone legal and then claim they're only getting punished because they broke the law. There's nothing reasonable there.
