If Russia could, they would.

Is NATO pretending to be neutral?

That was a bad attempt, try harder.

You posted an outdated picture without explanation, and now you changed your own description of what point you're trying to make ("uniquely fertile ground" vs "uniquely far right"), and now you're trying to turn this around on me.

No, I don't see how an outdated picture that doesn't reflect the current reality proves or refutes anything.

For the record, again, I don't necessarily disagree with you, I don't think Germany has unique circumstances or w/e that make it especially vulnerable to far right ideology. I just think you're doing an awful job and bringing your point across.

And now I'll stop replying with multiple paragraphs to your one-line comments, obviously you're not putting much effort into them.

I must have higher standards for what constitutes proof than you have.

It's not that I disagree with your point or agree with the post you were replying to. I just don't see how your image supports or refutes any of it.

That may very well be, but I don't see how your link is relevant either.

From your link: "In Europe and North America, the establishment of social liberalism (often called simply liberalism in the United States) became a key component in expanding the welfare state."

Idk, that seems compatible with most of the left-of-center spectrum, and certainly not something you would find a libertarian or conservative supporting. I can see how it's not compatible with auth-left positions, though.

Perhaps you're referring to neoliberalism, which, in my understanding, dropped all the social welfare stuff in favor of corporate welfare. In that case, I can understand how that term could be used as an insult.

In my eyes liberalism != neoliberalism. I consider myself liberal, and I despise neoliberal policies.

What PR department?

Which European countries have a more progressive policy regarding cannabis?

Polls for AFD in Germany are currently about twice that.

Vienna is certainly a great example for public housing done right, but I don't see how it's relevant to the post. As far as I'm aware, Austria's problem with right wing populism is even worse than in Germany.

I am seeing a division of society, and it's due to the likes of AFD + members of CSU & CDU pushing populist bullshit. People that fell for that likely also see a division of society, but they're blaming "wokeism" for it.

I don't think it refers to ethnic homogeny.

🤡

That's the charitable interpretation. The less charitable one is astroturfing aiming to further destabilize "the west"

Whataboutism is indeed popular with Russian bots.

So just state outright that your intention is to hand the election to Trump.

I don't see how those statements are contradicting each other within the context of US presidential elections.

You need to try way harder.

Bad troll.

It features the flag of the German empire that nowadays is only used by Nazis and "sovereign citizens".

They're trying their hardest to spin any statement about preventing a second Trump presidency into you actively supporting genocide. No mental gymnastics are too difficult for them.

I'm not usually inclined to conspiracy theories, but to me this smells like a concerted Russian astroturfing campaign to bring Putin's sock puppet back into office while sowing more division. What's also interesting is that all they want to talk about is genocide, but only the one happening at the hands of Israels government right now. Putin's genocide in Ukraine is conveniently ignored or denied.

I don't need to be from the US in order to understand US politics / political system better than the average US citizen.

In that case, I fail to follow your explanation. What's more important: Words/sentiments, or actions? For example, Macron talks the talk, but fails to walk the walk, as evidenced by France's sub-par contributions.

In my opinion, the outcome is what matters. But also: Sign off the Tauruses, Olaf!
