Shameful

Political stability or (gasp!) higher taxes on the rich?

Well, that’s incredibly stupid.

I didn’t expect this from the Dutch of all people.

“Cancelling” is not even the least of consequences for a country that commits genocide.

It is amazing that some people are still committed to the Hutuness of Rwanda aven after this exact obsession with Hutuness resulted in the Tutsi genocide.

If this was the Irish PM saying this, or the Spanish PM saying this, i would really be paying attention and taking it seriously. The German Chancellor? Whose country has a “staatsraison” to prioritize the “security” of a genocidal apartheid regime no matter what? Yea, you can fuck right off.

One of the most interesting explanations I’ve seen is that Western Europe was politically fragmented just enough so that big enough entities were competing with each other for dominance. So there was no central authority strong enough to pacify it, and the individual states were powerful enough to mobilize resources, creating a competitive power race. It was in trying to beat each other that they reached out and colonized the rest of the world.

Edit: I’m thinking now how during the apex of pax Americana, space exploration really subsided for example. When the US and the USSR were competing it was on. Now that US hegemony is declining, it’s seems to be on again. Too strong of a political unification keeps the centrifugal forces in check.

The idea of conquering the world was Persian. Alexander just took over what Persia what already conquered.

The demonization of the Romans is silly.

Maybe I’m old fashioned but I don’t think “pro-shooter content” should be a thing to begin with.

Surprising to see Greece not abstaining.

I’m not denying the crimes of communist regimes. See my first post. Millions suffered under them, and that pain deserves full recognition. Those experiences are valid.

But my point wasn’t “Stalin good.” My point was that in places like Greece, Spain, Chile, Indonesia, and others, communists were the ones who resisted fascists, fought for democracy, and were jailed or killed for it. That’s a historical fact, whether you like it or not.

Nazis never fought for democracy, ever. That is also historical fact.

And that’s the difference. Saying that Nazis were socialists is a tired talking point that is false and debunked.

If you want to argue history, bring evidence. If you just want to throw insults, then you’re not debating, you’re venting. Go vent elsewhere.

Maple Maga.

Danes, if you re-elect this man, you are condoning this outrageous position.

Proudly new Canadian and proudly pro immigration.

The PCI was official opposition in the '70s and ran the local governments of most of Italy’s large cities.

No it’s not the same. I’m not saying communists built stuff. I’m saying communists fought and got persecuted for democracy and human rights. This is actually historically true in places like the ones I mention in my post, places like Greece, Chile, Indonesia, etc. Show me one fucking place in the world where Nazis/fascists fought for democracy and human rights. I’ll wait.

At this point in the thread I’m not sure if you’re ignorant or just trolling.

Sir, this is Canada.
