Ask not how to imagine a party going left will look like, ask how going left will look like a party reimagined.

I've got one, but does it have to sell outside the EU too?

I don't know if he was the most awful person I ever knew, but in the 45 minutes I've known him, he talked about his trip in Thailand that was all about drugs and women in a disturbing manner. He offered me to play throwing giant switchblades at a dartboard, which I accepted, not wanting to appear rude. Porn was playing and bags of white powder were laying around on the coffee table while we wrecked the dartboard completely. I can't recall but I think there were also pictures of people on them to which he said that it would make the game more interesting. He then showed me the rest of his apartment. I thanked him, told him that I would need some time to think about becoming his roomie and would call him back and walked out of there never to return there again.

Didn't call the police or mentioned this to anybody and thankfully never saw him again, so no idea.

Best representation of what the US is all about in history.
I hope to see more of it and the EU slowly wising up.

Of the US?

Jonathan Nez,
but only if he were given carte blanche power.

I've had close to 0 social life in high school and the first year of college.
What turned me around was joining a board game club.

What I've learned from this experience is that everyone
has a minimum and maximum amount of time and slots for friendships
and newcomers are the ones most likely with empty friendships slots.

The most vulnerable will be hit the hardest.

1. Countries are rich because they have free markets.
2. Tariffs are a good thing and competition is for losers.

1. No one deserves a handout, as money should be earned.
2. Large companies deserve a giant economic stimilus, because if we don't, our economy will crash.

1. Being spied upon by your government or foreign governments whom I worship is okay, because I've got nothing to hide.
2. Outsiders that sells goods that can be used to spy obviously and should be barred from all markets forever because they'll definitely spy on you and spying is wrong.

1. If you feel threatened by another country, a pre-emptive strike should be allowed.
2. You don't mess with the sovereignty of a nation. It's sacred and should be left intact.

1. Police should always be allowed to use overwhelming force and their actions should be lauded
2. You should have the right to protect yourself using firearms against tyranny as governments in general are never to be trusted.

Social liberal is the center. Liberal is centre-right to right-wing.

That's something only an idiot would use on his suitcase.

They didn't "fight back". They killed before any military action was taken.
It was a violent attack. It was an actual attempt to insurgency, rather than the Jan 6 revolt.

Only after the rioters killed over a 100 soldiers was military action taken.
Only after scores of soldiers dead,
did the military enter the street where the killings took place and did Chinese military kill the insurgents that killed their soldiers.
And during this time the protesters from the square were evacuated due to heavy violence from this one group of rioters.

What happened during Jan 6 was that the rioters all left the Capitol when the military arrived.
The rioters of 1989 did not.

The Jan 6 insurgents were more peaceful than the 1989 Tianenmen Square insurgents.

That's because at least before any other student group decided to storm government buildings which was rumored to happen despite there already many police and soldiers present, one group of "peaceful" protesters decided to kill over 100 soldiers on the same street and one day before tank man decided to jump on a tank.

The "peaceful protest" was far more violent than the Jan 6 US insurgency was, since the US insurgents did not have such a violent group among them.

That happened in 1989.

It was the Capitol Hill Jan 6 insurgency or the similar Hong Kong 2019 insurgency but got way way more aggressive before any military action or counteraction was taken.

What Jan 6 and Tianenmen square share though is that once the insurgency took place the military was called in, but during the Jan 6 Capitol Hill riots, the rioters Capitol Hill rioters actually all left, not wanting to confront the military, while at least some of the Chinese insurgents on the street stayed and died fighting, while people on the square were peacefully evacuated.

Calling an insurgency a peaceful protest is indeed revisionist if one were to do so.

And calling a revolt an insurgency and calling insurgency where rioters kill over 100 soldiers a peaceful protest with counteraction against such insurgency a massacre is also quite the revisionism.

The timeline of Tianenmen 1989 is

• large continuing peaceful protests for US-controlled school education
• groups of students or "students" killing soldiers on the street
• evacuating peaceful protesters from the square + soldiers killing insurgents still active on the street
• train station incident, unrelated protesters block soldiers with strict orders from entering train
• tanks arrive on square and start patrolling the streets
• Man with shopping bags stops tank on the same street the soldiers and insurgents were killed, then jumps on it, other students drag him off the tank and away.

One group of students or "students" killed at least 100 soldiers before any violent counteractions or actions were taken by the military and that's part of the 300 killed. The situation is very similar since such scenario could have happened if part of the Jan 6 rioters organized to inflict more violence and decided to stay after the storming and convinced part of the rioters to stay as well.

Calling the 1989 incidence in Beijing the Tianenmen Square Massacre is like calling the 2021 incidence in Washington D.C. The Freedom Plaza Killings where the Democratic Party ruthlessly slaughtered innocent civilians after a peaceful protest, with the exception that the protesters in 2021 were more reasonable and less violent than the rioters in Beijing. Especially for the fact that when Washington decided to send the military in, the Jan 6 rioters did not decide to stay and try to block the US military from entering the Capitol or Plaza.

I won't be surprised to eventually see an actual equivalent type (demands from pro-palestine protesters for educational reforms) of protest happening in the US with far higher causalties as a result.

It will happen in a few years from now.

less problems

We EU citizens are on the verge of collapse as we're about to starve the goose laying the golden eggs,
the German car industry, in favor of US subservience.
There are 0 attempts to save VW, BMW and Mercedes from Tesla, while walls are enacted against BYD and other Chinese car companies.

It's highest in the North-East, lowest in the South East.

There's currently no direct land connection between Russia and Moldava/Slovakia/Romania/Hungary,
and without it, there's no potential protection.
Georgia is already slowly turning around.

Russia is an ally of China. What they have to give is the same as the EU (Germany) has to give with the US as their ally.

So far the EU has done everything in power to not protect EU business interests and favor US business interests over anything else.

Won't happen. EU is designed to serve the US, but we'll see countries breaking off and (re)uniting with Russia.

Stop comparing the US to Hitler. The amount of damage the US has done and is going to do doesn't and won't compare.

The damage the US has done and will do to the world is so much worse it makes Hitler look like a schoolboy.

A better image would be Musk and/or Trump overshadowing Hitler.

Nazis and zionists in the US republican party.
