  1.  @Wackalacka  Hungary is more of a democracy than the Us is. If you genuinely think the Us is a "democracy" then you must be delusional. Japan is as much a democracy as Hungary is. In fact in Japanese electorate history the ruling party has only lost 2 elections.

  2.  @luisekjeldsen1515  Yes they are. If Hungary is not a democracy, then neither is Japan or the Us.

  3.  @soundscape26  85% is an extremely low number for a formerly homogenous country.

  4. "Deregulated" you mean mass migration + illegal migration/assylum seekers. Even most in the right and far right are fine with a minimal amount of migrants coming from civilized countries. As long as the ethnic natives remain at the 95% threshold then society can still flourish.

  5. "to block any left-wing idea"/ First of, there are 0 far-right parties in French parliament. Reconquete didn't get in. Instead of trying to appease the far left, the left, the center left and the greens and relying on their very unstable faction, he went to appease a mildly right wing party aka RN by appointing a center-right PM.

  6.  @XMysticHerox  Having 24% of parliamentary representation and be behind 2 parties that you surpassed by more than 10% of the vote share is not democratic whatsoever.

  7.  @vem9583  You don't even understand the definition of racism. Racism is the belief that another race is inferior and/or the hatred of a race. Racist jokes doesn't make one a racist, because they are jokes. Being anti immigration or pro cultural and ethnic preservation isn't racism either by the way. Racism is hating other races, not wanting to preserve your own race and culture.

  8. ​ @AstroTheFungus The argument was "the right wing are the bad people because of history". Which can disproved simply by stating that the vast majority of brutal authoritarian dictators were left-far left and not far right. Pol Pot is a decent example although Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro etc are also good examples

  10.  @pedromoura1446  As of now Trump is sweeping the 2024 elections according to polls that had him lose by 7.5 points last election cycle. Trump is center-right so definitely less conservative than the EU parties described, so ig you'd be fine there.

  11.  @almondandfriends  Your entire rant was clearly biased from your political views. If RN is "not in good faith" then what is the Left alliance? Where they wouldn't support a center or center-left candidate, because of their pride? "muh we won". No you didn't, you lost majority as an entire wing coalition by 100 seats. Similarly, one could argue that appeasing the RN is far better because they are a stable and coherent alliance unlike the NFP which is consisted by ideological groups that make no sense together.

  13. I mean most of what they mentioned here are jokes made by their candidates. It's quite insane to think that edgy jokes are enough to become an enormous controversy to break down an entire government. How soft times have become...

  14.  @davethebarbarian4419  He's center-right just like his party. And RN is not even far-right policy-wise. They're barely right-wing themselves.

  15. How can you even put the socialists and the national rally in the same boat when it comes to costs of plans. The socialists plans are the same garbage socialists all over the world have done and destroyed the economy of their respective countries. "Muh tax the rich more" as if France doesn't already have a progressive tax system. Tax them more and they'll leave and then you have no capital for the market to grow. Price fixing is also a policy that creates fertile ground for rampant corruption. They also want to reduce the pension age by 4 without understanding the financial position that France is currently in.

  16.  @thereita1052  Where did he claim that no minimum wage= no unemployment? As for the ridiculousness of minimum wage: Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway, Cyprus, Austria don't have a minimum wage and they have extremely strong economies and low unemployment rates.

  17. ​ @GeorgeMasterclass Not necessarily sneaky when it was known that the Greek Cypriots unilaterally rejected reunification. And that's the right course of action. Unless the Turkish settlers that constitute 50-60% of Northern Cyprus population get deported back to Turkey, any reunification would be in the benefit of the Turkish government and the Turkish government only.

  18.  @Vatnik_tschistilka  Not really. Dependence is different than submission. Being dependent on food exports to a few allies doesn't mean you submit your nation to them. Nationalism can 100% coexist with economic alliances and international trade. I am not talking about isolationism, I am talking about nationalism here. What you did is the slippery slope fallacy. Just because there is an extreme version of an ideology doesn't mean that the ideology will eventually lead there. It's like saying "if you give food stamps, it will lead to property rights being extinquished". Although you can make a logical pathway to that through Marxist theory, it's still a slippery slope fallacy. Expansionism is a completely different ballpark that can happen in even non-nationalistic circumstances. Globalist expansionism comes to mind. We expand our culture through other means other than forcible subjugation with the army. It's the most prominent ideology between the globalists. Hence why the EU is forcing LGBT and other similar garbage to the rest of the nations.

  19. @@Besthinktwice This is a comment I wrote to someone that made a similar idiotic and misinformed statement: France is number 1 in crime rates in Europe, Sweden is number 4, UK is number 6 and Germany is number 18th, Belgium is number 3. All of these countries were down the list and Germany was top 5 safest in Europe. The same study which started in 2012, it has 10 less countries in their database (so the countries I mention would be lower if the rest were accounted), yet Sweden was 18th place, Germany at 30th, France 9th ,UK at 7th and Belgium at 13th. All but the UK were far better in the rankings compared to the rest of EU. But a comparison in crime index from 2012-2023 (mid): France 44.8 -> 54.6 Sweden 26.2 -> 48.1 Germany 21.2->38.0 UK 46.0 -> 46.9 Belgium 40.6-> 48.9 So no you are unequivocally wrong. The crime rates of the natives have dropped a lot, but due to high migration alone the crime rates have risen.

  22. Ah yes, trying to gain majority support to elect a prime minister is "anti-democratic", but all major parties allying to oust the party that holds a majority somehow isn't?

  23. All news have bias, they seem to have less than most mainstream sources but they have shown bias before calling moderate right wing parties "far right" or using terminology in support of political opinions (i.e. pro choice, pro life debate).

  24. ​ @Imbalanxd The rich in China are barely taxed. China has very low taxation rates compared to many EU countries. And the rich in China are kept in line because the CCP needs to keep their hegemony.

  25.  @Churros1616  The housing crisis isn't because of Capitalism, it's because of urbanization and the destruction of the family unit. Everyone lives alone now, if we go back most households were families/married couples and even before it was all the extended family. Capitalism has nothing to do with this. I can guarantee you that you'll find a bigger and better house for a cheaper price compared to the average wage and adjusted inflation in the countryside of Japan now than 80 years ago.

  30.  @tutatis96  Happiness is more important? Well we already know that people were happier when they had families and children. Now people are far more depressed and miserable. People are lonely. The demographic crisis is the most serious issue that modern countries are facing right now. You might think it's not but it's one of the biggest reasons why everything is getting more expensive whilst your wages stagnate. And that's not even the start of the issue. The healthcare system will collapse because the lack of staff and abundance of old people will overwhelm it. Same with the pension system and the nursing homes. Old people will start dying on the street, everyone will be far poorer as well. Then we have overtaking issues. Countries like South Korea will be naturally overtaken by North Korea. It is predicted that in 30-40 years South Korea will be unable to defend against North Korea due to the lack of fighting age men. Europe will be no different. Suicides will continue to go up, mental illness will continue to go up. Young people will be miserable and so will our generations.

  31. The SPD and CDU won't have enough for a majority in the parliament. At least according to current polls. They'd have to bring at least another coalition partner which can prove quite bad for them. So it's either an AfD-CDU coalition or a minority government which will most likely collapse.

  35.  @dankrobin4965  That's a heavy misdiagnose. The entire political scene has been moving to the left which means that the far left groups of 3 decades ago are now left and the left groups of 30 years ago are center-left. One look at the EPP alliance and you'll see how it's not even "right-wing" by the traditional standards. They are at best center-right but generally more centrists and even have left wing influence ideologically. ID is the only one that can be said to be Right-wing (not even close to far right) although LePen the past few years has moved more and more towards the center. To the point of "denouncing" AfD for just talking about potential remigration and deportation of unassimilated migrants which should be the most normal right-wing position at the moment. So even ID is moving towards the center-right which shows how all this "right-wing Europe" is just a semantics game because the center has moved to the left significantly.

  37.  @irelandaintreal2945  "plenty of older people from former ussr countries say they miss it". That's utter bs, at best the margins reach 5% in former USSR bloc countries. Russia is the only one that could be argued about a higher margin, but that's normal since Russia was the main benefactor in the USSR so Russians had better quality of life. Memory isn't unreliable. In fact I vividly remember how it was prior to the migrant crisis and it was much better.

  38.  @galder.irusta  No one said Germany or France are safer than Spain. BUT, Eastern European states are indeed safer than Spain is. Spain's immigration does NOT mainly come from Eastern Europe. Most of it comes from Latin America and Africa. The only big Eastern European group that is in Spain is Romanians but they are not the ones committing the crimes. Moroccans, Arabs, Gypsies, Colombians. The crimes mainly comes from those groups.

  41.  @jimpaddy79  Because it is ultimately tied to culture. You can see that from African Americans. Even though they've been legal American citizens for over a century, they still put their skin colour above their nation.

  42.  @kcza47  It's not leftist party ,it's big tent. But it can easily be characterised centre-left. Their main ideologies are liberalism and pro europeanism. In social issues though they skew center-left.

  43. How is it beyond you? It's insane how you can live in a country without realizing general political trends and core values. Slovakia was always a socially conservative country and it seems it will remain for a long time to come.

  44.  @theodestabeaux5160  Again, I don't consult the court or the "experts" to judge where a party stands. The RN by their policies alone are barely right-wing. Not even their immigration policies are far-right. They're feminist (1st and 2nd wave). They're pro-lgbt. They're literally led by an old divorced woman. Nothing about them is far-right. On immigration the far-right stance is 0 or extremely limited immigration in general and deportation of most non-native people. That's not what RN is talking about, they want no illegal immigration and deportation of illegals and then limit the already massive legal immigration to France. I highly doubt they want or will commit to mass deportation of foreigners that came "legally" the past 10-15 years.

  45. ​ @juliusr9267 Calling that free speech violations would be understandable. If we didn't know that Russia in 2019 arrested 400 people for online speech while the UK arrested 4000.

  46.  @zygmuntlllwaza5773  here in Greece it was the opposite. The new anti establishment right wing party was polling less than what it got.

  47. Third Way won this election for the coalition. If not for Third Way , PiS votes wouldn't be absorbed and PiS would've won an outright majority again. Confederation saw a massive victory as well, picking up 7 seats this election.

  48.  @sergiosilva7528  how so? Did you even see the state of Germany prior to the 3rd Reich? Degeneracy was rampant, inflation was through the roof and the country was collapsing due to lack of social cohesion. It's literally what we're going through right now.

  50.  @unvergebeneid  You do understand that Bibi hasn't been the only leader of Israel and he will most likely be ousted in the next election right? So even if Bibi is not, the Israeli electorate base is. However, they can be for it but without the mutual feelings from the Palestinians nothing will change.
