If Russia could, they would.

Is NATO pretending to be neutral?

That was a bad attempt, try harder.

He literally asked her.

You posted an outdated picture without explanation, and now you changed your own description of what point you’re trying to make (“uniquely fertile ground” vs “uniquely far right”), and now you’re trying to turn this around on me.

No, I don’t see how an outdated picture that doesn’t reflect the current reality proves or refutes anything.

For the record, again, I don’t necessarily disagree with you, I don’t think Germany has unique circumstances or w/e that make it especially vulnerable to far right ideology. I just think you’re doing an awful job and bringing your point across.

And now I’ll stop replying with multiple paragraphs to your one-line comments, obviously you’re not putting much effort into them.

I must have higher standards for what constitutes proof than you have.

It’s not that I disagree with your point or agree with the post you were replying to. I just don’t see how your image supports or refutes any of it.

That may very well be, but I don’t see how your link is relevant either.

Polls for AFD in Germany are currently about twice that.

Vienna is certainly a great example for public housing done right, but I don’t see how it’s relevant to the post. As far as I’m aware, Austria’s problem with right wing populism is even worse than in Germany.

I am seeing a division of society, and it’s due to the likes of AFD + members of CSU & CDU pushing populist bullshit. People that fell for that likely also see a division of society, but they’re blaming “wokeism” for it.

I don’t think it refers to ethnic homogeny.

?

Wat

Who’s that?

No, that is 100% whataboutism. It’s an attempt to deflect the discussion from the topic at hand. If you want to have a discussion about THING_THAT_YOU_CONSIDER_BAD_AND_ALSO_TRUE, you can make a new post just for that.

Indeed.

🤡

Can you tankies find some new strategy?

Whataboutism and deflection is getting really boring.

It would be a reasonable ask in a world where no or only few non-political games exist. However, in our world, there are plenty of non-political games, and this criticism is usually directed at specific games that contain elements that don’t fit the critic’s political leanings. “I don’t want games featuring diverse characters or progressive messages” would in most cases be the more honest statement.

That’s the charitable interpretation. The less charitable one is astroturfing aiming to further destabilize “the west”

Whataboutism is indeed popular with Russian bots.

So just state outright that your intention is to hand the election to Trump.
