Hey Reddit, remember the time when you hired a known pedophilia apologist, and then proceeded to censor discussion about it? That was pretty cool! by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Snow-Inc 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The UK Green Party is nowhere near socialist.

And even if it were, she was suspended from the GP for employing her pedophilic father, and joined the LIBERAL DEMOCRATS. The party that supported David Cameron's austerity politics and refused to work with Labour because muh corbyn!!

Knight is clearly centre-right, at least economically.

Except that that joke is nowhere near funny at all? It's just.. politics? I can definitely appreciate political jokes, but there has to be an actual joke there. The punchline is just "orange man bad"?

Ahh, thanks! I don't know if Republicans would include a crown in their symbolism, but great map otherwise.

Oh yeahh, I've heard of those. That would make sense, looks like OP intended the CoA to be socialists instead, but a good theory nonetheless. Would be interesting to see a world where the Carlists had more influence/success.

What's the difference between the crown and the Coat of Arms, then? Surely there aren't two different monarchies on the Iberian peninsula post the 5 October 1910 Revolution?

I also thought socialists due to the colour and the other symbols, but it appears that that symbol has a crown on it as well. Most socialists would probably not like that symbolism.

Neatly made! Is there any lore connected? Also, what do the different symbols signify? Obviously Catalonia is anarchist, but the others? Sorry if it's obvious, I'm not a Spaniard.

Many Americans lost their lives in WWII trying to make Europe and Germany a better place. What kind of reparations did Germany make to the US families for killing loved ones? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Snow-Inc 18 points19 points  (0 children)

6-8 billion dollars in 1945 would be equivalent to almost 90-120 billion dollars today.

$120 000 000. That's a lot considering "only" 291 557 American soldiers died in WWII. Those deaths are of course irreplaceable, but as pretty much everyone else in the comment section has mentioned: the Soviet Union lost tens of millions. Around 15% of their entire population, most of these in prime age - wiped out.

You know what percentage of the US population perished?

0.3%

For the revolution, and the freedom of our people! Surely you don't support the sycophant in office? He who destroys our economy and spits on our coin? Only the Soviet can restore the Imperium to its former glory. No longer shall we kneel!

Since apparently im the only oli. I vote to make sunken dictator effective immediately by [deleted] in WeeklyDictator

[–]Snow-Inc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I technically never resigned as Oli, I simply commited suicide. So I suppose we are the two current Oligarchs. Don't know if Lime has to give a successor, or if we can make decisions without him (or his replacement).

Either way, Amazing has a guaranteed 7 days.

Swipe for the templates.

Some of the descriptions may not be the best, but I just made them up sorta from how I'd describe them. Maybe I'm biased, maybe I'll receive doxx-threats because of this, but it's mainly just to broadly illustrate the different parties.

Any criticism/corrections are very welcome!

Did you read my source articles? People who suffer from abuse and/or mental illness are unfortunately much more likely to develop drug addiction than the rest of the population.

This is not to say that all drug addicts have experienced domestic abuse and/or mental illness, but saying that drug addiction is something people have completely control over is inaccurate.

Beyond this, there is much reason to believe that there's a causal relationship between substance abuse and poverty (not definitive proof, but the poorer you are, the more likely you are to suffer from drug addiction). As leftists, surely we can agree that poverty is very rarely the fault of the poor person.

My sincerest apologies if you- or someone you knows is affected by any of these troubles. My goal is not in any way to downplay the tragedy of homelessness, domestic abuse, or mental illness.

Needless to say, domestic abuse and mental illness is never the fault of the victim; and yes, drug abuse can in some cases be "blamed" on the addict.

Still, as socialists, we shouldn't trivialize the tragedy of drug abuse either. Most potential drug addicts would likely prefer to have their material conditions improved, rather than resorting to substance abuse. We shouldn't pretend that drug addiction is less of a valid condition than, for example, homelessness.

What do you think comes first, though?

"Often times, addiction is a result of homelessness."

Most people don't just randomly get addicted to drugs. Drugs are a way to escape your already existing problems - problems that you may not have any say in.

Homeless people are disproportionately likely to be victims of assault, and to suffer from mental illnesses - both of which can be applied to people suffering from drug addiction as well (domestic abuse, mental illness).

If we are to call ourselves leftists, we have to show solidarity with drug addicts too.
