      So you’re unhappy they got elected but none of the parties do anything? It’s exactly that outlook that got the AfD elected. Every single far right voter I’ve met has that outlook, either they’re not voting or they vote for the far right, because no other party does anything anyways.

        i’m unhappy they got elected, but since the alternatives are also far right parties, i’d be unhappy about those getting elected too. and i’m observing that when so-called mainstream political parties refuse to actually do anything for their people, the people will vote for someone offering something. since there are no communists, the things on offer are a) status quo (people hate this) b) even more unhinged nazi shit

        then there are the people who have lost all hope for anything good coming out of politics, so they just vote for whoever infuriates the “respectable” political class the most.

          Yeah, I agree but what is an alternative because I haven’t seen any radicals offering anything new either.

            there’s no strong emerging political movement in europe that’ll get us off this death train, i’m afraid. we’ll immiserate the european proletariat and cause even more death and destruction abroad, until europe hollows itself out so much that it cant even make guns anymore. or until some saner country stops us, like they did last time.

              There is no strong movement anywhere. Environmental collapse is a global problem, I don’t see that being approached in any serious manner by any one.

                  I know the rest of the world exists, I’ve met world leaders. Nobody is doing enough.

                    If you think that nobody is approaching it in a serious manner then you’re ignoring a substantial part of the world
