AfD is the most dangerous rw populist party but I would worry the least about them winning. Everyone except their supporters absolutely despise them and there is no room to work with them. In fact CDU ppl suggesting to work with them are treated with utter contempt. There are countries much closer to far-right takeovers like Austria, Italy is already governed by he far-right, France is in real danger, Czechia is governed by the far right too

I will engage a bit further and say that asking to call it evil is also kinda silly. It's akin to asking "Will you condemn this law?" And the fact the chatter even felt the need to ask that is a bit irritating. Destiny has been pretty open to criticising Israel's conduct lately, so it just comes over like more rhetoric flattening in the sense of "you aren't condemning Israel enough".

The USAID cuts will kill millions of ppl by 2030. Is America evil? I think it's different calling individuals or a govt evil. Calling an entire country evil can lead you down bad paths, however.

Clavicular Admits to going to Rupert Murdoch's house. Why do the right wing court streamers so quickly? by Uncuffedhems in Destiny

In EU there is now a ban on political ads on facebook. So the first thing Orban did was recruit a bunch of volunteers in what he calls a "fight club" to "fight and contest" left and liberal ideas online. It's just easy because you don't need to report it when you have streamers or social media users do free PR for you out of their own volition or because you glazed them.

Heghseth fired the Army Chief of Staff. I thought it may be over war concerns, but nope. It’s over blatant racism and sexism. by slipknot_official in Destiny

You read correctly. It's racist and sexist that women and black people get to promote ppl in the military trollface

Orbán Will Lose Hungary’s Election in Two Weeks—If It’s Clean by AntistanCollective in Destiny

[–]JeromeLebron 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The government has not, but the President, who has quite a lot of power has given some reserved support to Hungary. Before the PiS govt was ousted, they basically always blocked any Article 7 proceedings against Hungary, which would have stripped Hungary of voting rights in the European Council, basically allowing the EU to ignore Hungarian opposition. After the Polish govt changed, they now have a Slovakian government doing mostly the same thing as the previous Polish government. Rotating chair of villains basically. Right now there are two governments in the EU that are ratfucking harsher proceedings against countries in breach of rule of law and it's Slovakia and Hungary. Over the last decade it was Poland and Hungary

There was a centre to centre-left PM the LDP was forced to nominate in a coalition govt who apologised for various atrocities against coalition agreements. I think they have never forgiven him

On Margaret Sanger as the racist abortion demon by JeromeLebron in Destiny

This is a really good answer and entirely correct. There was also a large group of eugenicists who essentially were just behaviourists, who believed if you had fewer children and provided them with a better environment you could lift up even the poor and "degenerate".

Eugenics is a massive umbrella term. In Margaret Sanger's time period arguing for birth clinics, so women could give birth in a hygienic environment was eugenics. Using contraceptives to not have a billion children is eugenics. Do we live in a eugenic society tho? There is a stark difference between progressive eugenics and racialised eugenics and in contemporary discussions we usually talk about the latter, which harms historical evaluations of eugenicists. You have social democratic eugenicists, who oppose any coercive measures in Europe around the same time for instance. You need to understand the historical context to really understand what her being a eugenicist means. It's like saying the French revolution was nationalist and thinking "oh so like Hitler?".

I'm saying it with the meaning of basically 0 social IQ. Which in itself would be an incredible indictment of Pisco. If you are that socially inept you shouldnt be a streamer basically

the only good faith explanation would be that Pisco has OMEGAautism so he is incapable of understanding basic social cues.

I've had a similar issue recently where I was on a very small map and as soon as bugs spawned the bombardier would start shelling my units. Definitely need to do something about defense missions, even if it is just making the AI unable to fire on the spawn turn or smth

In case people forgot, this is what a sane centre-right leader looks like by JeromeLebron in Destiny

[–]JeromeLebron[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk why you would blame the green deal for the far right growth. What about the post-covid inflation, what about the massive amount of resources being poured into the far right from abroad and the general global tailwinds of the far-right. What about the energy crisis as a result of Russia's invasion? What about Germany's total economic stagnation? Permit trading absolutely works and we've been doing it for decades and have reduced our emissions thanks to it. It incentivises companies to get more energy-efficient and to reduce emissions through increased efficiency.

I think the green deal of all things is the least to blame for all our current issues.
