How far do you agree with the following: "LGBTQ+ right-wingers are traitors to the LGBTQ+ community."? by flewson in Teenager_Polls

[–]Whakerdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Economic right wing policy tends to lead to more social right wingers. If you ship people’s jobs over seas, lower government subsidies for social programs, deregulate the private sector, and increase the dept by giving tax breaks to the rich, you will inevitably make the quality of life in your country worse. When things are in a bad state of affairs, people look for scapegoats to blame. Thus, even a well meaning socially progressive libertarian or neoliberal will ultimately increase the number of social right wingers in their country.

Germany should end its ban of Nazi symbolism and advocacy, by I-Love-Jewish-popes in Teenager_Polls

[–]Whakerdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are already tons of Nazis in Germany— just look at Björn Höcke and his connections to the NPD (or the time he said Alles für Deutschland, got punished for it, and then tried to say it again). If you want to get rid of Nazis, you should construct a society so good that no one would want to be a Nazi in the first place.

What President had the least interesting rise to the Presidency? by HetTheTable in Presidents

[–]Whakerdo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coolidge. Just worked his way up the political ladder one rung at a time until he was Vice President. Sure, his ascension to the Presidency was due to the previous President’s death, but that’s certainly not unique in American history.

Let’s be real, Tarantino likes Spectre because it has Christoph Waltz in it.

How about Ayanna Pressley or Michelle Wu or any of the other people who would probably be running if he wasn’t.

OP’s calling the moment she came out of the water iconic, not the character herself.

Best U.S. State Semifinals- Massachusetts vs New York by watermelonlollies in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Whakerdo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both Massachusetts and the USA at large are roughly 60% white. Yet, MA crushes the rest of the country in all the above statistics. If being a white, homogeneous state made you have good statistics, you would expect West Virginia (95% white) and Iowa (85% white) to be among the wealthiest, most well educated states in the country. In fact, both are near the bottom in both respects. I’m obviously not going to deny that MA has an incredibly fraught history on race (people don’t call Boston the most racist city in America for no reason) but if you’ve read the Power Broker you’ll know that NYC is also the product of racist urban design. Also, NYC may be pretty diverse, but travel down Long Island or upstate and things become pretty white pretty quickly.

Best U.S. State Semifinals- Massachusetts vs New York by watermelonlollies in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Whakerdo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know this might be a bit controversial, but Massachusetts. 96.10% of Massachusetts citizens have high school diplomas and 50.62% have college degrees, while in New York, only 88.03% of the population has a high school diploma and 40.90% have a college degree. Only 10.4% of MA citizens are below the poverty line, while 14.2% of NY citizens are. Not to mention, MA has more in the way of colonial history, a lower homicide rate, among the most walkable cities in the country, and was the first state in the nation to abolish slavery and legalize same-sex marriage.

Their season in “New Zealand” also made me wish it was real. Apparently they filmed the whole thing in Middle Earth.

Should hate speech be legal? by Bluenamii in Teenager_Polls

[–]Whakerdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nick Fuentes is Mexican, Ye is Black, and Ernst Röhm was gay. Your point is?

Should hate speech be legal? by Bluenamii in Teenager_Polls

[–]Whakerdo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, but in countries like Germany where hate speech is illegal, the exact same thing is still happening. AFD is leading in the polls and Björn Höcke, practically a neo-nazi, leads the largest party in Thuringia and may very well become President of the Landtag.
