  • Hi, @iloveDigit!

    I am commenting to your post from a country with strict gun laws and where people on the street are sure to not have any guns in their possession. And it’s totally safe. There’s nothing wrong with not owning an AR-15 or any other machine gun, and kids around this place are growing just fine without attending or even hearing about a school shooting nearby. Guns are perfectly fit for the army, and I am not part of it, nor some member of a guerrilla militia of some sort to need them in my day-to-day life. You should try that too.

    Kind regards!

    Yeah, well, we all know that there is nothing that is precisely in the center in politics. Anyone who has some political culture knows that you may be either on the right or on the left, with various degrees of distance to the center.

    If we’re talking about parties, I cannot contradict you. I am not aware about the details of the ideology of any of the political parties comprising the current ruling coalition. All I can say is that here in Romania we have to deal with nazis, and the alternative to them are the thieves that left the corruption unchecked at an abysmal level all these 35 years, plus a reformist party that’s full of neoliberals (basically those that enabled nazis to be so popular anywhere in the world in the last decades). Plus a center-left-to-left party that didn’t make it to the parliament in the previous elections but is popular among the Gen Z-ers and is gaining steam.

    If we’re talking about people, I think it’s pretty easy to both:

    1. Admit that communism is unachievable and has been a criminal system which, in the name of turning societies more egalitarian, managed to fuck up everyone outside the ruling elite.
    2. Recognize that the bigger enemy nowadays is fascism, which made its way all the way to the White House and is threatening the democracy as we know it.

    Edit: btw, if I am to come back to the German politics, looking at the last elections’ map shows me something… quite interesting: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…


  • If you’re paying enough attention, you can really smell who is only posing as a centrist vs. who actually is. This is no longer 1939. We know where the limit is. If you claim to be a centrist or, as it says in the screenshot neither left, nor right but you have nazi takes or have nazi worldviews, you’re most likely only a centrist poser (and a nazi wannabe).
