and yet, they make big gains in elections, because they are for some reason allowed to stand despite flirting with the treason/agent laws of their respective countries. The sheer quantity of hybrid warfare operations being thrown at European nations is pretty staggering. What's more staggering though is that nobody seems to acknowledge the fact that Russia already sees itself at war with us - we should start seeing it as mutual and dealing with them as such.

With you on that one. The real danger to democracy is not left- or right- or any wing parties, but lobbyism, campaign finances, revolving doors between politics and well-paid positions at the very companies your political decisions benefited, etc. I fear it's almost too late. Our entire political cadre is wholesale bought and paid for.

They normalise racist, xenophobic and misogynistic behaviour. Traits that usually rear their ugly heads when the times are tough economically. The voters that are worst in this respect tend to be elderly and that's a cohort that votes come rain nor shine. So it's kind of a self fulfilling prophecy. Plus, these far right parties tend to promise literally anything to get elected, they're never subject to the same scrutiny as traditional parties. Their ideas rarely survive contact with reality but by that point it's too late. See Brexshit in the UK. Additionally, media is almost universally right wing and almost universally owned by proprietors that are also right wing, so of course they're going to be friendly to those causes. The less free the media is in a country is also a tell-tale sign the country is struggling. What worries me the most is the younger generations almost exclusively getting their news from the likes of TikTok, Snapchat and Telegram. Those platforms are almost universally biased and not just a little biased, extremely biased and the more you watch of a topic from a toxic source, the more the platforms' algorithms feed you more of the same. There are pockets of hope, however, Poland rejected their far-right incumbent and the UK is about to change governments away from a conservative party that has tacked ever rightwards and more populist to a left of centre party after 14 years of damage. The USA election is a massive worry, obviously. I just hope there's enough Biden voters in the right states to keep him out of power otherwise the planet is going to have four years of shit to deal with because Trump isn't going to hold back in his second term because of the way he feels he's been treated when out of power.

> And I think I don't have to explain that it would be an absolute no-go for Germany of all countries to ban it considering its history. "Religious freedom" is an awful argument for circumcision, in Germany or in any other country. You have religious freedom for YOURSELF. But someone's religious freedom does not give them the right to cut off part of someone else's body. There is absolutely nothing problematic about supporting bans (outside of situations where it's actually medically called for obviously). Also, infants are not religious. They don't even know their ABCs, let along have strong informed opinions on the greater mysteries of the universe.

Again, feel free to point to another source you like more. I'd be curious to see if that makes any difference in the ranking. Here's 2 others: [https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/corruption-index](https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/corruption-index) Hungary 42 points, Belarus 37 pts, Ukraine 36 pts, Russia 26 pts - same order (higher is better) [https://risk-indexes.com/global-corruption-index/](https://risk-indexes.com/global-corruption-index/) Hungary: rank 69, Belarus 135, Ukraine 126, Russia 127 - Belarus ranks considerably worse, but Russia and Ukraine are essentially the same (difference of 0.14 pts on a 0-100 scale) The pattern is always the same: Compared to the rest of Europe, especially any EU country, Ukraine is insanely corrupt. Even Hungary, the country you claim is worse than Ukraine, is in fact a very solid distance ahead of it.

Look at the voting stats in Ukraine since 2014 for Rada and even local elections. The Far Right have been getting trashed. The bad apples in the bunch will have no effect. Azov has been heavily regulated since 2015 and significantly more so after Putin went crazy in Feb 2022. This is a non-issue, only inflated by sensationalist tabloids and spread by Russian apologists/trolls.

The Soviet Union condemned all disagreement with Soviet policies as Nazism. People joke in the US about how everything is compared to Nazis, but it doesn't hold a candle to how the Soviets watered down the word. Unfortunately, when you have decades of education telling people that the worst thing about the Nazis was that they opposed the Soviets / Russians, and that all opposition to the Soviets / Russians is Nazism, it has the consequence of both failing to teach what was actually wrong with them, and making them seem downright attractive to those who, for unrelated reasons, rightfully despise the Soviets / Russians.

The situation around Azov (and other parts of the war) bear strong similarities to the Croatian [war of independence](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatian_War_of_Independence). More specifically, Azov is a lot like [HOS](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatian_Defence_Forces): * unchecked and proud use of nazi names and symbols * volunteer militia propped up in the beginning of the war, renowned for its bravery * attracting both people desparate to the defend their homeland along with a ton of neonazis, both local and foreign * useful military force until their nazism became a hindrance to the international support of the war, after which they're disbanded and integrated into regular army Over 30 years have passed since the end of the war and they're still a hot topic in Croatia. Ukraine can expect to be hearing about Azov for a long, long time

Historically he’s probably been the most outspoken pope in history when it comes to modern social issues. In some ways, yes, he’s been opposed to official positions of the Catholic Church. But he’s also backtracked on a lot of things he’s said. When he was elected, the church wanted a reactionary pope to help with their bad PR. They needed a new type of pope to attract new members. Full stop. That was the motivation. It wasn’t to transform the church or to correct things within the church. They needed a mouthpiece that gave the appearance of change, but wouldn’t actually do anything to enact change. Francis checked off a lot of those boxes at the time. But has any meaningful change happened during his time as pope? Not really. The Catholic Church is still facing declining membership and are still moving predator priests around like chess pieces. They haven’t changed their stance on gay people or abortion. Maybe they’ve softened their public rhetoric about gay people, but they’re still a staunchly anti-gay institution.

What he actually said was that as a christian you should not treat someone badly for being a sinner, as we all are living in sin. He still won't allow gay marriages, as it is diametrically opposed to the faith.

There becomes a murky area when you are defending your country from a larger foreign invader force.

Without a doubt the legion has been gutted of true nazis, due to the massive losses in Mariupol, but the Nazi command structure still stands. Just give these fucks the weapons and put them in the worst theatres of the war and then deal with their extremism once you end the war and if they are still alive / not captured and executed.
