That is by no means a given! In fact we should expect a counter-movement within the church, as that’s what happens if a leader is gone that was pushing the organization in a more progressive direction against the will of many influential members.
Why would they see it that way if your own government clearly doesn’t?
Exactly. People act like it’s useless because it doesn’t permanently solve the problem.
Well guess what. Fascism cannot be solved permanently. It needs to be opposed in every generation, consistently.
Banning a fascist party costs them a lot of internal cohesion and about a decade of organizing and building public support. It’s absolutely necessary and worth it.
You also immediately called them a nutjob followed by a dozen other insults. And you keep asking questions with obvious answers about exhaustively documented crimes and human rights violations, some of which the Israeli government isn’t even trying to hide.
Someone might get the impression you are not arguing in good faith and are trying to sow doubt and waste people’s time.
Hoffentlich bauen die Schwaben nie eine Atombombe, weil irgendein Minischderpräsident würde sagen “Etz ham mer se bezahlt, etz werf mer se au ab”.
But now they openly agree, admit, and even brag that the cruelty was the point.
Trump’s tenure really exposes how many people work in various law enforcement functions apparently just for the privilege to humiliate and hurt people.
For the past 10 years would I have to disagree. US conservatives didn’t give much of a shit about what was going on in Europe, while Putin scored many wins strategically working with right-wing groups throughout Europe, culminating in Brexit, and no doubt setting the stage for the invasion of Ukraine. (Which was supposed to be over within a day by toppling the “nazi” government in Kyiv, let’s not forget.)
For the future, we’ll see. This is definitely a worrying development. It seems half of the US political establishment and about a third of the populace is determined to treat us as enemies simply because it fits their internal propaganda, no matter how much damage it does to US foreign policy. This means that bargaining is useless, and it seems at least that most European governments have internalized this, even though they may hope this state of affairs will pass.
It’s both. Dividing western societies is the declared foreign policy goal in Russia. Working with right-wing demagogues is the most effective way to achieve this. That doesn’t mean said demagogues wouldn’t be a problem otherwise, but it’s definitely being amplified.
While in reality they’re going nowhere but the hotel bar.
There was a time when it was a solid deal for white Europeans.
I hope that you get a new administration in a little less than 4 years.
The Republicans aren’t destroying the rule of law and hand absolute power to the presidency, just to give it to the opposition on the next occasion.
Gotta be honest, i hardly ever use them on the Deck.
For the same reason that communism was “doomed to fail” in the Americas by means of propaganda, assassinations, and training fascist death squads.
