Poland is the fastest secularizing country in the world. Soon we won't be. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Yes. I did say that. On the brink and imminent do not even remotely mean the same thing. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |
I myself am someone who during his life voted BE, PS, PSD, AD, and IL. I don't consider myself anything, and I usually vote for the person, not the party, there's always ideologies that I don't agree with with the parties. Like you, I like to think for myself. I think it's easy to understand that our political situation is completely in the mud for decades.
Not trying to root for Salazar or anything, but just to give the idea that things might not have been as many people in social media paint it. My father lived his early adult life during that period, a normal working class person focused on it's life instead of the political situation. But he also says that he saw PIDE taking people away from the streets/bars, people that shared some "prohibited" opinions publicly. He also says that some of those arrested, would be raising some extreme ideas, so... it makes me wonder. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |

Well said.
The UN and the ICC have become nothing more than a circus stage for the world's despots to perform.
With the UN Sec Gen as the chief clown in charge.
The ICC didn't even try to fake neutrality, they assigned a Lebanese anti Israel "judge".
No wonder both institutions have lost credibility.
That is if they had any to start with. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

The are not left. Maybe left behind society... The correct term to describe BSW is more like "east-wing". They promote "peace" in Ukraine by stopping the support of Ukraine. They want to sell Ukraine to RuSSia for cheap ruSSian gas. Sarah Wagenknecht is Putins bitch and she doesn't even want to hide it | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
... where 'national' means Russian. As it did in the GDR.
The great paradox about all these populists lies in the fact that they claim to be nationalists, yet they want to split Europe into little satellites of Russia, China, and Co.
Same with AfD, RN, Recon, FPÖ, and other 'active measures'.
Make [insert country] great again by turning it into a province of the East.
They would be the satraps.
Sad foreign agents, all of them.
National bolchewhat? Folklorist dancers and National Bullshitters. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
The sad thing that's left of the The Left is left I would say.
They have basically only left views and a lot of pro Russians went to BSW.
For Ukraine they still want to stop the war but atleast they pretty actively say that Russia has to pull their troops out. They also openly call it Russia's Attack on Ukraine
With most Pro Russians gone it's pretty clear to me that The Left just actually lives outside of reality and think that diplomacy will work for Ukraine. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

Pakistan should be held responsible for these attacks since it backs this terrorist group. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
I think the only reason the US is allied with Pakistan is to prevent it from becoming a full terrorist state like Iran. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
I think it already is a full terrorist state imo, at least Iran has stable political structure, how vile is may be it's not fragile. For Pakistan the PM has been given no power and not one has completed term, the army has the real power and they do what they want to be strong. It's scary that if the population turns on them, the army will have no choice but to make a decisions of their existence...with nukes, the army exists as the yin for the yang (India) | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Providing safe space to bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, then supporting and training Taliban, now back on the business of using radical islamic terrorists to attack innocent civilians..at this point, it seems like the only solution to all these problems is Removing the Pakistan from the face of the earth,once and for all for the sake of peace. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Kashmiri Muslims keep enabling these attacks on Hindus, and now they're bringing their violence into the safer region of Jammu. Tired of these "oh it's just extremists" excuses. These militant groups would be nothing without the entire Kashmiri Muslim community. Every single Kashmiri Muslim is at fault for the death of innocent Hindus, who have advanced the development of Jammu greatly. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Ironically their own soldiers are getting killed regularly in the same type of Insurgent attacks in Afganistan or Iran border and frustrated they are targeting civilians

Seems like the growing trend is that over-immigration results in right-wing parties gaining influence... but when over-immigration is addressed, right-wing parties quickly lose influence.
It seems many people don't want to support right-wing parties or other right-wing agendas - but do want over-immigration addressed. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Of course- it’s about the anger at the issue for them not fixing it | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
That and the right-wing parties keep fucking up in a fantastic ways, constantly showing their true colors and how all their promises were nothing else than manipulation to gain votes. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
A difference in priorities when it comes to EU policy is what it looks like to me. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Preface by saying I’m American speaking on America, but I worry about America becoming another France.
Ideologically, I want everyone to experience this amazing country like I do. Realistically, I see that unleashing that spigot during a shit economy and the worst sociopolitical landscape in decades is a horrible idea.
I’ll never be politically right because of the horrid shit that goes with it. I also recognize that the countrymen already here right now need more than ever to feel like the government is looking out for them, the ones already here.
I wish the left would cool it on immigration for a bit, boost public confidence that the people here right now are being taken care of, and then when that trust is repaired we could re-up our immigration and give these new countrymen the welcoming they deserve. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
As a leftie I agree, immigration has gone off the rails and is costing us votes. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

Delusional | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
You know what funds housing and health care and better government institutions my guy? a growing economy. Do you know what none of these western countries will have if there isn’t permanent mass migration to replace falling birth rates which are already below replacement in every developed economy? a growing economy. Racist mfers like Japan went from the largest economy in the world by innovation and equity value in 1985 to diminishing global influence year over year, failing currencies, and seemingly permanent stagnation. Immigration is the only way to fix shrinking birth rates when Land, Capital, and oh yeah LABOR are the three pillars of any economy. But yeah don’t listen to actual economists or immigration experts and keep spouting xenophobic BS. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

I don't see anything here that is relevant to what I'm talking about. I can't control what other people say, especially when half of them are anti left imposters trying to slander everyone left of Hitler.
Fascism is a far right ideology. If you think it comes from the far left, you should take a better look at what the far left people believe. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
In theory what you’re talking about makes sense, yet even in this theoretical scenario your ask is well above what 99% of people would be up for - 20 years? That’s a third of most people’s lives, half of their productive lives, and for what? An off chance at a may be better world with every known example pointing to human nature being the impassable flaw that will ultimately prevent it from coming true? I wouldn’t bet 20 years of my life on that, and especially not 20 years of my daughter’s lives to be spent in sacrifice for a ‘may be better system if stars align’.
With above being said, I agree with you in concept, and you are right - we likely could accomplish amazing things if most resources were evenly distributed and thrown at worthwhile pursuits such as medicine and other sciences… just the reality of our world, regardless of how you tweak it, short of an extremely authoritarian approach, will almost certainly not allow that concept to play out as envisioned. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Brainwashing, grooming and indoctrinating children for cults is evil, and I trust the truth to shine thru eventually. You can simp for lunatics all you want. I know they've already brainwashed you and that its pointless to try to change your mind.

You can’t run on an anti-immigration policy if you solve the problem. Even if Republicans held the three branches of government for the next 20 years, they wouldn’t solve it due to a mix of ineptitude and malice. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
As a Hispanic person brought here in '91, I don't approve of such language at all. It's to easy to turn against us. My experience has taught me that when push comes to shove, we'll all be the same brown (insert slur of choice) to y'all. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

We have that in the USA for sure. And I'm pretty sure the far right knows this as well. We had an immigration bill that would have addressed almost everything the far was saying broken, but they then went and rejected the bill.

I'll stick with fewer sentences to not confuse you this time
My point is that this statement of yours is nonsense:

Sounds like your plan includes fucking my people over because we didn't come with the right skin in 1884. Maybe your ancestors should've be turned back.

Are you talking about the indices I literally linked to you? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Far left is characterized by abolishment of private property rights and in the case of anarchists the abolishment of the state. So that's no corporations, no landlords, you can own your shoes but not land. Parties that advocate for these kinds of things either don't exist or are so obscure and unpopular that they might as well not exist.
Far right is not drastically different to centre right on economic policy but is characterized by social conservatism and ultra-nationalism. So that's anti-immigration, anti-abortion, anti-LGBT+ rights.
Centre-right is basically just the status quo but maybe cut some social services to give tax cuts to the rich. This means they're pro-immigration because immigration is the lazy solution to maintaining economic growth.
It's correct to frame the current political struggle as left vs far right. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
They're really forgetting how things went the last time the far right held power in Europe. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

Bullshit. CDU in Germany and Les Républicans in France are centre-right and nobody calls them far right. The problem is that right-wing conservatives have started referring to centrists, neoliberals and even liberal conservatives as "the left". For example, characterising centrist neolibs as "leftists" for being too soft on immigration. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
I mean. I get it. I’m already angry at how much of my life feels “wasted” because of the decisions of others and their impacts on me. I went through a lot of emotional trauma as a child, and it impacted the majority of my life in ways that I couldn’t exactly control. Now I’m an adult, living in a world that’s on the brink of a collapsing biosphere, record wealth inequality, and for some godforesaken reason people are once again running right towards authoritarians who promise to solve all their problems if we just destroy x outgroup - and often, as a queer man, I’m one of those outgroups. I live in a world of consequences that are based on the actions of others. Certainly, I try my best to make sure that MY actions are as good as I can make them and that I am as kind and giving as I can reasonably be. But the reality is this is what life is, and people don’t like that. *I don’t like it*. The futility of everything, the fact that no matter how much we talk about free will, there really is only so much we can change and control, and we are told to just accept that and learn to be happy.
I’m not actually saying we should go full on tankie and create some communist utopia. We can’t. Human nature won’t let us. But realistically nothing I said was actually conceptually false. People just hate hearing it, because it makes them feel bad. No one likes being told they’re letting their emotions get the better of them. No one likes being told they’re acting against logic and reason (and therefore acting stupid). No one likes feeling powerless. It’s why these authoritarians rise to power- they say everything that these people want to hear. “It’s not your fault. We can return to greatness! All we have to do is destroy this other group. They’re holding us back. It isn’t your fault that society is broken, it’s theirs! But if we eliminate them, we can go back to an easy life!”
It’s tiring watching so many people fall for all of this. I’m tired. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

The left parties in France a suffering from the egos of their politicians. They are trying to unite for the upcoming general elections in one month, but since many years the far-left (LFI) who is ruled by an annoying character full of anger didn't want to give anything to the ecologists and the social-left party, who was in shambles after the catastrophic popularity of the previous president Francois Hollande, who did not do what he promised for the lower and middle class. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Imho, that's because Nordic countries' left wing & center parties, especially in Denmark, changed. They now accept only low numbers of immigrants & asylum seekers, and are very tough on them, on foreign criminals, on "ghettos" (e.g. Denmark literally dismantles entire neighborhood and re-homes its inhabitants to "better" neighborhoods, if there's too many foreigners, unemployed, poor, etc.), and on integrating foreign born inhabitants, etc.
No wonder Nordic right wing parties aren't rising much. Their usual themes are being occupied by the center left crowd... | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
This was hard to read language wise. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Senate represents *states* not population.
Thus the council of the EU is, roughly, the equivalent to US Senate (upper chamber, meant to keep big populated states in check).
The EU parliament is *definitely* like US House (lower chamber, *proportionally* elected, i.e. the bigger your population the more representatives you get in the lower chamber).
Unfortunately, both are weaker than US Congress. As they can only approve, amend, or veto initiatives from the Commission. They can't create their own laws, as all parliaments should be able to do.
And sadly, the council of EU, EU's Senate, isn't directly elected by the people. Instead it's just a council of 27 EU ministers .... | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

Left does? I loved when Belgiums greens argued (and made the coalition do it) for nuclear shut down and supported public financing of gas power plant while the war of Ukraine-Russia was going to its second year.

This ignores a fundamental difference between the US electoral system and the European models and how that plays into radicalization of political views in the populace
The US electoral system has a massive issue because it essentially forces the political landscape into only having two political parties. This then turns the political climate into one of "us vs them" which basically becomes a wedge that between the two sides of the populace.
The EU country don't really have that same issues since we use models that allow and encourage a multitude of political parties on each side of the political aisle. So we get to have a political climate that's much more nuanced and tempered than the US, where it's just "the left vs the right" | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
