  • I hate the Lefties, but don't know why

    From Björn Felten@2:203/2 to Mike Dippel on Fri Aug 12 10:10:03 2022
    Why is it that the rights are so radical and political? All is see is constant hatred. Is there any hope for our Country?

    I share your concern. The hatred is in every fascist movement's playbook. Unite the most stupid and uneducated people into a hatred frenzy against an imaginary enemy, and they get the voter base needed to take power. It worked for that Austrian Corporal a century ago, so why not try it again?

    Fortunately, it seems like more and more good people are finally waking up and realizing what is happening, so, yes, I think that there's still hope for your country, that I used to love until the GOP started to transform into a fascist, Putin loving party.

    I feel with you. The same shit is happening again here in Europe in many states. Hungary, Poland, unfortunately also partly my home country Austria, Italy and so on.

    Brazil and many other countries around the world are also falling into autocratic structures. I do not even want to speak of Russia.

    Unfortunately, we in Europe have learned nothing from our history. History repeats itself, and this time the spirit of nationalism and radical right-wing extremism is going global :-(
