leftists are trained from birth to sacrifice their souls under the color of "pragmatism," to move right rather than left, and to blame themselves for the centrists natural affinity for far right doctrine. if pragmatism and service to technocrats and moderates has brought us to this, then of what use is pragmatism?

i say swears online posted:who the hell votes that way in a multiparty, proportional system aarrrgh ah, well in a multiparty, proportional system you have to be even more aware of making the less than evil choice because if you were to vote for the leftists, then all the rightwing voters would still vote rightwing and claim a proportionally larger number of the seats! the real reason behind the reason is that neoliberalism has indoctrinated generations of people into accepting that not only are better things not possible, trying for better things is bad, and those who want things to be better have an outsized responsibility to make "pragmatic" compromises. Centrist/technocratic/moderate voters are already confident of the superiority of their pragmatic position and see making a pragmatic choice in supporting a leftwing candidate to be a betrayal of their position in exchange for nothing. Also, since they are the sensible adults in the room, it is the responsibility of everyone else to grow up. Leftists betraying their positions in exchange for nothing is party plank, on the other hand.

SplitSoul posted:The Danish Social Democrats seem to have found their wedge issue for the coming election. It's hijabs. Hijabs on schoolgirls, specifically, and compulsory "Danish childrearing" classes for "some" ethnic minority women. Don't concern yourself with the energy crisis or the fact that the Foreign Minister hosed a child, there's a culture war to win. MUSLIMS!!! true to the tradition of social democrats everywhere

A Buttery Pastry posted:look, nothing they can do. it's entirely legal for a grown man and party official to gently caress a 15 year old at a party youth camp, so it would be extremely problematic to let it hamper his career I know "youth outreach" is always a goal but this is ridiculous

i'm going to predict further inability of neoliberalism to address the problems it has created followed by further "reforms" that make the problem worse with all of this happening prior to or during a period of liberals supporting more and more reactionary positions and politicians

While walking through a burnout town I commented in the public chat that someone must have dropped a cigar, because I was young and didn't know how to spell cigarette.

Frosted Flake posted:It’s because tear gas would be banned as well, as it is in conventional war, and no state wants to give that up. power respects only power. I'm sure we used the poo poo out of it in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq since there was no one on the other side to gas our soliders right back. Really brings lie to the "Iraq had chemical weapons" claim
