EU is having a moment because their Trumper types gained a lot of seats. They can't pretend it's just an American problem anymore.
For the Americans: it's still not nearly as bad as in the US, but we may be slowly getting there.
What happened?
I don't know yet but I saw "Polexit" on the Polish ballot and didn't know if I should laugh or fucking cry
Democracy
The difference in results between Scandinavia and the rest of the EU is very interesting. A well-working educational system is clearly the best weapon against fascism.
EU élections are often used to show your frustrations with the current government. In Sweden and Finland the current government is right wing.
It's really not that simple. Look at Austria, for example. It's also a lot about culture and society itself and how it developed. We are exporting nazis ffs. Shit that gets people thrown out of parties in Germany (like Krah) is just another Tuesday in Austria. And we have a great educational system. Of course with ways to improve.
Krah wasn't kicked out, they just didn't want him to show up to events because of looks. Now that the election is over watch them fully embrace that treasonous, SS glorifying nazi back as their top candidate. Also I bet it will not take longer than two weeks until LePenne forgets that the AfD is more and more admiting to be fascist and welcomes them back to ID
You're not up to date I guess. He will not be part of the Delegation. But he's still a member of the AfD. (https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/krah-afd-europaparlament-fraktion-100.html)
guess people want to live in shit
I don't. Let them live in shit but leave me out of it.
Their argument being is that as long as others have it worse, its a sacrifice they are willing to make.
more like when we still believe a burgeois state will put good politicians in power.
Ahh lemmy.ml, never change.
Ahhh America, you won’t ever change.
America will change, it's a declining Imperialist state and wealth disparity is skyrocketing.
I’ll give you that. I meant change in a positive light, but that’s hardly ever the case these days.
I meant a positive light too, actually. Eventually there will be a point where the bread runs low and the circuses go empty, and the Empire will go the way of Rome. It's unlikely it will go the way of Britain.
Maybe we view ‘positive’ in different ways lmao. I wouldn’t necessarily consider riots and violent uprising (what happens when the bread runs out and the circus is empty) positive. Their outcomes though? Those can be.
Perhaps instead of mocking America, you guys should've spent more time making sure politicians like American conservatives didn't get elected
I’m did my part! o7
The rest of America enjoys the fascism.
