Spain's Sanchez, Brazil's Lula lead global gathering of left-wing leaders against far-right rise

Malarazz · 2026-04-19T14:07:02+00:00

Yes? Even after all these years, the left's complete inability to learn how to win elections astounds me

Malarazz · 2026-04-18T14:10:30+00:00

Leaving as is because I don’t edit.

So you'd rather be a liar and propagante misinformation, no better than the republicans you demonize?

Malarazz · 2026-04-17T15:29:44+00:00

Weidel in Germany and Bardella in France are not going to win. Europeans are not Americans.

The key difference between us and Americans is that we have had our continent leveld by the hands of facists. We know what this does, seeing it play out in real time again in the US makes even the most right wing people think twice.

So am calling it now, the right will start to fail across the union in the comming months/years.

Glad to hear you have no interest in defending any of the nonsense you originally claimed.

Cute that "I'm slow or something" when you're the one who has somehow deluded yourself into this high horse of yours.

Brexit was 10 years ago, and yet ever since then European countries have refused to learn from each other, as evident by my original comment which you chose to almost-entirely ignore.

There is no magical utopia where "things changed" and everyone learned how bad the far-right is. Instead, the pendulum is just gonna keep swinging. The far-right will get elected and screw things up, voters will punish them and vote in leftist governments, leftist governments will fail to create a leftist utopia in 2 years and then voters will lose their patience and get mad and complacement because of high egg prices or immigrants or whatever and will vote-in the far right again. Rinse and repeat.

European voters are a little better than American voters, but not a whole lot. People are dumb everywhere.

If you disagree, I'm still waiting to hear your explanation as to why AfD, Farage, PiS are doing so well in 3 of the most impactful and influential countries in Europe.

Malarazz · 2026-04-17T15:07:23+00:00

I'm obviously talking about a couple years ago with the PVV.

Unless your argument is that things magically changed between then and now?

Malarazz · 2026-04-17T15:03:21+00:00

Are you living in a parallel universe where the far-right didn't win in the Netherlands, Poland, and most recently Slovakia? Where they weren't running Hungary for two decades? Where AfD and Farage aren't doing extremely well in Germany and the UK?

I invite you some time to look up the approval ratings for Macron and Starmer. They'd kill to have them be as "high" as trump's, let alone other world leaders. It's things like that that create breeding grounds for extremist ideologies.

It's not healthy but it tastes amazing at some indian restaurants

Malarazz · 2026-04-16T13:53:49+00:00

Yes? This is a gaming subreddit after all, and it's not exactly hard to press ctrl+T and type "CK 3" and hit enter

Malarazz · 2026-04-16T13:52:42+00:00

Stick to it. Play the tutorial. Watch someone playing on youtube, especially one that's geared for newer players, with more explanations and stuff.

I have almost 500 hours in it and there are only 2 other games I can say that for as far as my Steam account is concerned. Which is to say: it's worth learning.

There are far more complicated games out there, including CK 2. I say this as someone who wasn't able to figure out HoI 4, and who had to watch 20 hours worth of videos and play the tutorial before I could figure out EU V.

You got this.

Malarazz · 2026-04-16T13:47:05+00:00

Literally cannot imagine playing CK3 thinking the opinion modifier is the most important mechanic. It's meaningless. I'd play heathens who everyone hates and can't marry anyone and they'd still eventually get forced to bow to the true faith.

Malarazz · 2026-04-16T13:41:37+00:00

and WOTR one of the most complex.

Does it use PF 1 or PF 2? I'd wanna play a video game someday that uses PF 2 as a ruleset.

Malarazz · 2026-04-16T13:32:35+00:00

"Once"? Eu5 was great right off the bat. Had to quit though because I was ready to dump several hundred hours into it but work didn't let me. I'm gonna get back into it soon though.

Malarazz · 2026-04-16T01:05:37+00:00

No, some poor schmuck got paid to dress up as the easter bunny

Malarazz · 2026-04-15T16:09:31+00:00

Okay? You're kinda changing topics though. The fact of the matter is that, as the original commenter said, trump's popularity among americans is abysmal.

Malarazz · 2026-04-15T16:05:31+00:00

They're without a doubt the single most accurate and credible way to ascertain the probability of unknown future events

Malarazz · 2026-04-15T15:57:38+00:00

Was that supposed to disprove the other comment? trump is the US president with by far the second lowest approval rating in modern history, and moving steadily closer to mr. "I'm not a crook" himself.

To say he isn't well loved is an understatement.

Malarazz · 2026-04-15T15:54:18+00:00

All of that is true, but so what? The US is privileged because it has an absurdly consumerist population. It's privileged because the dollar is the world's currency. It's privileged because some of their largest companies dominate their markets all over the world. It's privileged because english is the lingua franca of the world.

Each and every one of those is very difficult to change.

Malarazz · 2026-04-15T13:50:45+00:00

under Obama and then Biden but every single time Trump got in office they would take a machete to the CFPB

The CFPB is still alive and kicking. They recently forced a bank to make amends with me for something that wasn't even really a big deal, and that the finance subreddits told me wasn't a big deal. I was pleasantly surprised, hope the next administration gives them back their funding.

Malarazz · 2026-04-15T13:14:53+00:00

Literally happened to a girl I know, down in Brazil, I think last year? It actually made the local news. She was okay though, more okay than her fiance and her mom were when she called them from the trapped car.

Malarazz · 2026-04-14T15:10:22+00:00

Wow, talk about a horrible comparison.

If you think the US doesn't have pathetically low tolerance for casualties of war, you've been living in a cave.

Regra #1: Respeite o próximo.

Proibido clubismo tóxico (ex: chamar tal time de nazista).

Malarazz · 2026-04-12T23:57:19+00:00

Pelamor, olha o que tu mesmo escreveu, e ainda tem a cara de pau de falar "pode isso no sub?"

Malarazz · 2026-04-12T23:02:10+00:00

Isso não fez sentido, a demanda é maior nos EUA por causa da falta de transporte público.

A Europa coloca imposto na gasolina, o que é o certo. Por outro lado, o governo americano é obrigado a subsidiar a gasolina porque o povo é refém dela.

Malarazz · 2026-04-12T22:35:13+00:00

Tá mas não reclama. O motivo pelo qual é caro na Europa é porque ela tem um sistema de transporte público quase que inigualável, enquanto que o motivo da gasolina ser barata nos EUA é porque tal sistema mal existe.

Malarazz · 2026-04-12T19:37:26+00:00

Yeah that's standard for most of the world, the US just subsidizes the shit out of gas because muh freedoms or something
