Extreme non violence is actually very bad because it enables the extremely violent to exert their violence. The greens need a certain degree of violence to keep the oranges from murdering everyone.

Source: my homeland suffered through 36 years of fascism because the left in government didn't execute the fascists soon enough and the latter started a civil war which they ended up winning.

Anarchists massacre themselves more than communists massacre them by enabling fascists in power, see my homeland Spain in the Spanish civil war. I wish we had had communists instead of Anarchists...

Only there's no greenish party, there's only orange and 99% orange 1% green, and the orange-greenist is a 99 year old person running 99% orange policy to appeal to moderate oranges

EU politics: "2+2 = austerity policy, 2+3 = austerity policy, 2-2 = austerity policy..."

Tl;Dr: "ideology is tribal bullshit!" I repeat to the fascist militarized police as they force me to dig a grave at gunpoint

Least politically educated comment I've seen all week, and that's saying a lot. "Ideology is bullshit" no it's not. Being able to rally together behind common ideals, with common concrete goals and concrete policies to achieve such goals is actually a good thing. "I have no ideology" is not what saved Europe from fascism in WW2, and you're not going to convince fascists not to shoot trans people just by telling them "give up your ideology".

Political ideologies should be discussed extensively, and they consistently are, it's literally the reason why leftist infighting is a thing. It's precisely the "apolitical centrists" who enable all the horrors of capitalism, saying "I have no ideology" is simply synonym with "I don't care if things remain as they are", and in the face of fascism and ecological disaster this is a horrible idea.

Sven is more of a Germanic name, in Siberia reindeer herders are definitely not speaking Germanic languages.

The democrat murders the Palestinians, Iranians, Libyans, Syrians, Cubans, Venezuelans and black people just to postpone the election of Republicans by 4 years, hence the loop. The socialist meanwhile tries to dismantle the orphan crushing machine.

I did not argue whether vegan is cheaper, I argued that chicken is not expensive. 4€/kg raw and 6.5€/kg cooked for European prices is not expensive food, end of the story, you really cannot honestly argue against that. If you're seriously arguing that, you should apply for a job at the Wall Street Journal, you'd be a wonderful corporate lackey and worker basher.

Fixed it for you:

Ok, so then say "eating chicken is immoral", not "eating chicken is expensive" if you're vegetarian, and don't play dishonest arguments using price.

If you buy bell peppers in an EU supermarket they hover around the 4€/kg, which is very similar to the prices of whole chicken. Rotisserie is marginally more expensive per kilo, because it's one of those convenience items that supermarkets don't sell for a profit but for convenience to attract clients. Local supermarkets such as Mercadona sell rotisserie chicken de-boned for 6€-ish/kg.

This post is not about vegetarianism and its morality (which I support), it's about the literal cheapest meat being considered a luxury. 6.5€ per kilo for a cooked meal is literally some of the most affordable you can find, try feeding 2-3 people without cooking yourself. Do you consider strawberries (5€/kg at cheapest) a luxury?

France would approve 30% if it was up to them

Up to whom? Has the majority of the population been consulted on military escalation and draining of state budget in welfare in favour of weapons?

Also, you really don't think the EU will spend a significant amount of that budget buying weapons from the US military industrial complex?

In what universe is rotisserie chicken expensive? Like, unless you exclusively eat grains, potatoes, carrots and beans, there's essentially nothing cheaper, chicken is by far the cheapest animal protein in most of the world.
