Wow, incels are… something else. I’m so fucking glad we don’t have those over here.

I was trying to get into university in America, failed and got into one in Japan two years ago, so probably this:

World’s falling apart, huh? Really dodged a bullet there. Also can’t wait to be quadlingual.

Having lived in Germany in the '90s and given current political winds, I don’t see AfD being able to get very far.

Two crucial things have changed between the 90s and now, though: the standard of living and the number of immigrants (both real and as perceived by Germans). The former is obvious, and as for the latter between the 90s and now there have been multiple (American-caused European-enabled) refugee crises in Europe due to the influx of Middle Eastern people fleeing war. This has made Germany go haywire, counteracting any advantage they may have had on the anti-fascism front over Americans—who are for the most part already used to having Others in the same environment as the Self.

According to a study in 2018 by Leipzig University, 56% of Germans sometimes thought the many Muslims made them feel like strangers in their own country, up from 43% in 2014. In 2018, 44% thought immigration by Muslims should be banned, up from 37% in 2014.[26] -Wikipedia

This sort of disdain for an Other is the indicator for fascism, and it’s very much on the rise in Germany.

They have guardrails yes, but those are only a mildly effective stalling method. Fundamentally Germany is falling at breakneck speed too, so those guardrails will only be a mild inconvenience.

Germany’s AfD gets a lot of publicity, but I’m betting on the UK being the next Western democracy to fall into fascism.

I know this community is open to all sorts of questions, but you clearly just have an axe to grind that you’re looking to see validated here. Come again when you’re trying to learn something.

With fire?

I can kinda see it.

What about 2?

I mean fearing death is human instinct and not really something based in logic.

“We take your (public) land, now you work in a factory or starve”.

Where can I read more about this?

Because you just got wooshed.

7 because I like to eat my pen covers (please tell me I’m not alone in this).

I mean in a sense yes, but that aside voting on your admins is very anarchist.

On dbzero we have a governance community and instance users have the right to vote out mods/admins if they are unpopular

Most leftist thing I’ve ever seen.

Isn’t that just bigotry?

Now that you put it like that this whole thing is sounding a lot better. More isolated US? Sign me the fuck up, though unfortunately I don’t think it’s that simple.

Wait do people break down due to culture shock? Is that a thing?

The Chinese decided to introduce gendered pronouns to make their language more European so… Uh… 他她它 moment.

People who are struggling can’t afford teslas.

There are people who could afford Teslas but now can’t because everything has gotten more expensive. Those people, too, are struggling to maintain their standard of living. Teslas are expensive but they’re not yachts it’s not like Elon’s only customers are the filthy rich.

Tesla owners who bought before they realized musk is a nazi don’t need education.

What about people who don’t follow the news and don’t know Musk is a Nazi or think this is all blown out of proportion?

Vandalizing an object that materially supports fascism is obviously morally acceptable.

Why? What will it accomplish? Because the optics of vandalizing unrelated people’s cars are really bad.
