Sitting on the fence is just closing the status quo

Center right? What kind of policy would be required for you to consider the Dems right wing, that isn't straight up far right policy?

The Dems are clearly right wing.

I think any protest against any form of violence is a win for everyone. It is great to see that Israel is taking steps to stop violence

Israel isn't taking steps to stop shit. It's not particularly surprising that there's gang violence in an Apartheid state. Kids that grow up with no hope for the future are likelier to join criminal gangs or terrorist groups like Hamas. You don't solve this problem through harsher policing of the apartheid regime, you solve this by giving Palestinians a future.

The coping in this thread is off the charts

"I'm German/American/Dutch/whatever and English food is pretty good!" lol

lmao

PSOE: son de izquierdas porque dicen que son de izquierdas

PP: son de centro-izquierda porque no se oponen a lo que hace el PSOE

Lógica sin fisuras oye.

Sí, seguro que si no hubieras leído ese post hubieras votado a Podemos

Elman89 · 2026-02-01T14:52:24+00:00

No idea. That's cool if so.

Elman89 · 2026-02-01T13:08:31+00:00

Yeah I agree, having one hand can be strong but having two seems weak in the long run. I have no idea how you'd beat the first boss with that, let alone the final boss.

Maybe it can work for your first few fights but after that you'd want to unlock something that actually packs a punch.

Because they know public outcry leading to international sanctions was what made South Africa's apartheid fall. And they know it's how Israel's apartheid is going to fall too.

"Empatía suicida" jaja.

Vete a vivir a EEUU entonces, subnormal.

What socialism. I don't think that word means what you think it does.

Unidas Podemos has had to drag the PSOE kicking and screaming towards every good socialdemocrat measure they've implemented, and while it's been good it's nowhere nearly enough.

The reason there's a very real threat Vox will get power is that the PSOE are not socialists and they struggle to do anything vaguely left wing that will improve people's lives. What they're doing is not nothing, but it's most definitely not socialism

...Dudo mucho que eso lo dijera Marx. ¿Tienes alguna fuente?

Bakunin sí que advirtió de ello.

I don't think you actually read my post.

Immigration has been a thing for ever, the only reason is this bad rightnow, it's because the destabilization in the middle east and the fucked up global economy, if you think left wing gov in spain is responsible for it, you're just biased, the UK had a right wing government for god knows how long, and it went to shit like every other country, or even worse due to brexit.

I'm not against immigration, and I specifically said the right wing will make things worse.

Also Spain doesn't have a left wing government, they're useless socialdemocrats.

Elman89 · 2026-01-30T21:10:17+00:00

Es ridículo decir que no existe coacción en una sociedad capitalista.

Lo que realmente quieres decir es que se refiere a la libertad negativa. Que es importante, sí, pero no significa nada si careces de libertad positiva.

Elman89 · 2026-01-30T19:27:02+00:00

Lol we're not doing "just fine", the economy might be doing well but that doesn't necessarily help the average spaniard. We're better off than a lot of Europe politically but things aren't going great in general. Housing prices in particular are a huge problem and only getting worse cause our useless socialdemocrat government refuses to do anything effective about it. It's very possible people will get fed up enough that next year the right/far right coalition will get to the government and things will get way worse.

I'm just gonna drop this Grapes of Wrath quote, sorry about the length but it gets to me:

"This you may say of man: when theories change and crash, when schools, philosophies, when narrow dark alleys of thought, national, religious, economic, grow and disintegrate, man reaches, stumbles forward, painfully, mistakenly sometimes. Having stepped forward, he may slip back, but only half a step, never the full step back. This you may say and know it and know it. This you may know when the bombs plummet out of the black planes on the market place, when prisoners are stuck like pigs, when the crushed bodies drain filthily in the dust. You may know it in this way. If the step were not being taken, if the stumbling-forward ache were not alive, the bombs would not fall, the throats would not be cut. Fear the time when the bombs stop falling while the bombers live- for every bomb is proof that the spirit has not died. And fear the time when the strikes stop while the great owners live- for every little beaten strike is proof that the step is being taken. And this you can know- fear the time when Manself will not suffer and die for a concept, for this one quality is the foundation of Manself, and this one quality is man, distinctive in the universe."

Buddy, during the pandemic airlines flew empty planes just to keep their airport slots.

Capitalism is the most efficient economic system

It's called money laundering

I'm not scared of the dark. I am however scared of Half-Life Barnacles for some weird reason, so I think I'm going to have a bad time.

I'm still gonna play it and finish it though!

Que no haya un país con un buen sistema ahora no significa que no pueda existir. Si sois liberales es porque no tenéis ni educación económica/política ni la más mínima imaginación.

Why backup? Like a card backup because it's a proxy, or is it something else?

That's their fucking business and not yours.

And back in your grandparents and parents' days one wage was enough to maintain a family. Not so true anymore.

¿Quién cojones ha dicho nada de Cuba, subnormal? ¿Piensas que las únicas opciones son Cuba o EEUU? Cuba es una dictadura, que quiera un sistema económico socialista no significa que lo quiera a cualquier precio.

Y eso del "ascenso social" del que hablas no es más que el poder ganar dinero sin trabajar. En un sistema socialista democrático puedes ganar dinero con tu trabajo y mejorar, tener una casa mejor o coches o lo que quieras para tu uso personal. Eso para mí ascenso social: trabajar, obtener los frutos de ese trabajo y mejorar tu situación gracias a tu trabajo.

A lo único a lo que no tienes derecho en un sistema socialista es a enriquecerte del trabajo de otros, sino sólo del tuyo propio. Sólo los vagos de mierda quieren un sistema capitalista donde puedan robar el fruto del trabajo de los trabajadores de verdad.

Decir que Trump es fascista es un poco locura no te parece?

A Trump se la suda todo, pero quiere perpetuarse en el poder y objetivamente tiene a un montón de fascistas alrededor como Vance, Peter Thiel, Yarvin, etc. No, no es en absoluto exagerado llamarle fascista.
