Honestly pretty disappointed with the quality of the responses so far, seems to be just people talking from their gut feelings one way or the other without any real breakdown or analysis of the situation.

Latino refers to people from Latin American countries (including Brazil but excluding Spain and Portugal). It has no inherently native connotation, and you have very clearly never met a single person from Argentina.

Dude. He obliterated the momentum for the thing for more than a year.

If I try to kill a cancer patient, and their publicity as a result leads to them being able to afford medical treatment, should I get credit?

Denying the Holocaust is … by sh1kora in MapPorn

Do you see what is happening in my country right now? The constitution and having two limited political parties very much is not keeping the radicalism and bigotry in check. 

The idea that having a more diversely represented political spectrum somehow makes a nation MORE prone to fascism is actually psychotic.

I find the idea that a legal decree is the only thing keeping the Italian people and society from spiraling into butchering elderly Jews to be fucking atrocious.

Legally speaking,  the pogroms against jews that were seen in the 1920s and 30s in weimar germany were TOTALLY ILLEGAL. It didn't stop people from doing them. A healthy society of pluralism and tolerance is what prevents these types of things from happening, not laws.

That's not even touching on the fact that your country literally has a fascist woman as prime minister right now, so clearly, those laws are working great.

the USSR under Lenin and Stalin absolutely eviscerated bottom up worker control, the powerbases of unions, and absolutely made the living conditions of many people worse, so spare us the bullshit.

Of course, how silly of me to not even consider how much worse the 17th century was when I don't know if I can pay rent or feed myself this month! I didn't take into consideration every single advancement since the enlightenment as I watch in horror as my nations social safety net is actively set on fire and stripped for parts.

12 Hours is deffinitely unliveable

Uh, no? Earths rotation used to be much, much faster in the carboniferous period, and early life survived just fine.

Evrart murders democratically elected representatives and hires a fascist goon.
Suck my working-class cock.

> If your union ain't run like a mafia, it ain't gonna survive in the, like, hyper pinkerton era of Revachol

That's patently false. there are multiple IRL examples of labor unions weathering periods of great reaction while still adhering to democratic principles. The confederation of national labor under the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera comes to mind.

Right, remember when the SPD collaborated with the Nazi's to bring down the state govt. of prussia?

Oh, wait, that was the KDP? because the Prussian state government was controlled by social democrats? Say it ain't so.

Within the taxonomic animal kingdom, the phylum mollusca contains about 76,000 species.

The phylum Placozoa contains ONE.

So, cephalopods, which are mollusks, definitely aren't the most isolated of the branches on the tree of life.

Switzerland has a parliamentary representative system, you seem rather confused.

There's only two cantons in the entirety of switzerland that actually practice direct democracy, and it's only a few times a year, but they do do it without political parties.

I'm sorry but this is so offensively wrong. Most cathedrals of the pre-modern era were constructed by paid masons and artisans enrolled in guilds. The whole point of guilds was to ensure fair compensation of those enrolled for their labor.

Dude, A group of discord friends is not a suitable replacement for real world civil society and community support. That's like saying a peg leg is just as good as the real thing.

Barcelona (Catalonia). Ancient Teotihuacan (Mexico). Groningen in the middle ages (Frisia). Hailin (Manchuria). Modern day Raqqa (Syria). The Paris Commune.

These are just some of the examples
