It's not that simple. I'm from Spain and the case with our own far-right party is different. They've lost momentum gradually, through multiple figureheads leaving or being kicked out, with the main guy still standing, but the scandals and the lack of actual policies proposed have definitely hurt them. The problem is that those who vote for them are exactly the ones who used to vote for the traditionally 'moderate' conservative party. Same as in France. So it's just a constant voter dance between the two parties. The actual number of right-wing voters hasn't changed much.

One can only hope that disenfranchisement as you call it (I call it chronic planned distraction) will eventually lead to some form of working-class rebellion, as it tends to happen historically.

But this will definitely hurt the European far-right. Le Pen was one of their main bastions and believe it or not, those types are not so easily replaceable. People lose interest quickly and they'll tire of the 'this was all a politically motivated complot' rhetoric. I've seen the same happen in my country. In fact, the right lost the last general election because they were so sure they were going to win, their campaign sucked.

I still think this is good news though. Should help the far-right lose momentum. But then again it's getting harder all the time to distinguish them from the 'moderate' right.

Definitely. Macron is jumping gleefully at this.

I can definitely recommend Librewolf over Vivaldi if you don't need crazy levels of customization. To me it was just much more than what I needed so I went with Librewolf which is also obviously a lot lighter. Vivaldi being based on Chromium is pretty much the only criticizable thing about the project. Henry from Techlore interviewed their CEO not long ago, look it up, it was quite interesting.

Also, I am planning on moving to Norway in the next two to three years, would you mind if I messaged you privately with a couple questions?

Thank you for that, pay no mind to those who won't bother opening the full post to see it.

It looks amazing and I'm really interested in that proofing cabin. Good work!

Spinach is a finicky bastard in my experience, take good care of it

Very good point. I mean they're going to incriminate him for terrorism and/or association with Hamas for sure anyway

Same here, whether I'm using VPN or not.

It was you who replied to my comment calling it 'childish argument' without stating a single reason for it. When I asked you a question you're like "hey hey I didn't wanna talk about weapons" and keep on calling me a child.

I guess you can't really see who attacked who.

Don't reply to anyone calling them childish or whatever on lemmy.ml or anywhere for that matter if you're not prepared to have a discussion, if you're not willing to at the very least defend what you say intellectually, because then you're just someone who wants to say a catchy phrase and leave. And that would indeed be childish, don't you think?

 

So I watched 'No Other Land' last night. I didn't see anything new in it necessarily, but it's a brilliant documentary that everybody should watch.

I feel so sad, so disgustingly deceived, so sick of all the propaganda around me.

How/where do you find hope?

 

I mean it's all just business innit?

My father insists on a version of past events that is not true, where he supposedly helped me pay off debt when in reality I paid it off by working FOR YEARS. He doesn't say it as something he's proud of, but something I owe him and haven't "thanked" him for (?). He is extremely stubborn and old enough to definitely not remember things well.
He does this kind of thing with my siblings as well and it's come to the point where we feel that all we really were for our father was a money burden, be it true or not that he helped us financially at some point. How can I come to terms with the fact that he's not gonna acknowledge the truth no matter how many times I explain it to him, despite the anger and frustration I feel towards him for claiming something he actually DIDN'T do for his kid while minimizing my own work and effort?

Yep. (lemmy.ml)
