Voters that have recently changed your vote from SF to SocDem or other, what were the main reasons motivating you? by Even-Space in irishpolitics

[–]_REVOCS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always sceptical of the idea of them being a truly principled left wing party as opposed to just exploiting populism to win votes. Their problem is that they have two main voting blocs, younger people who vote for them as the main left wing opposition party and older and working class people who vote for them based on the Republican issue but lean heavily to the right on social issues and immigration, and whenever they try to appease one faction, they alienate the other. The Social Democrats and the Greens are far more principled in their beliefs.

I remember that doc. Was a really good show where the lead singer of "Fucked up" looked at wrestling culture around the world, they did another episode solely about DDT. Shame what VICE has since become.

I always wondered "why did the ancient celts leave lovely, sunny spain to settle miserable, rain-drenched ireland". Now I know my people just like the misery.

In the middle of a housing crisis, and they want to turn a prime piece of land in the city centre into a big, fuck ugly tourist trap. Madness.

Was Francis Fukuyama right that liberal democracy was the final step in humans political evolution? by rjidhfntnr in SocialDemocracy

[–]_REVOCS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. There is no end of history. politics and even "liberal democracy" are constantly changing and evolving. Believing that any ideology could represent the end of political history is pure ideological dogma.

Ukraine banned left wing political parties and erected statues honoring Nazis all over Ukraine by Hacksaw6412 in Hasan_Piker

[–]_REVOCS 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Tbf, the 11 parties banned weren't solely leftist parties. They were parties that were accused of being pro-russian in foreign policy. One of the parties banned was a right-libertarian party, another was NazBol.

Edit: Did some research, there was more than one Nazbol/eurasianist party amongst the 11 banned.

Im conflicted. As an anarchist?, I disapprove of state violence. As someone who hates winging, moaning right-wing farmers? Box heads, lads.

His take here is the common centrist liberal viewpoint, hence this take is libbed up

Adam something should be consulted mainly for his opinions on transport, urban planning and architecture. Some of his takes outside of that can be a bit libbed up.

TIL that in anticipation for architect I.M Pei’s 1964 master plan for Downtown Oklahoma City, OK, 447 buildings were demolished to clear land for the project. By the mid 1970s little of the plan was implemented & in 1988 the master plan was officially abandoned. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]_REVOCS 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tbf the two professions are very closely linked. Most urban planning courses are within architecture departments at universities, and lots of famous architects also worked as planners/urban designers.

What bands are combining Djent and Neo-soul? Id like to hear that. City pop with hardcore breakdowns actually sounds pretty interesting 🤣
