Three parties say they have reached a deal to form a new centrist Austrian government, five months after an election was won by a far-right party that later failed in an attempt to form an administration.
But that would mean that the not-quite-fascist conservative establishment would also face consequences for corruption, and we can’t have that because the not-quite-fascist conservative establishment are the good guys that protect you from evil communists, you know?
i find it frustrating how unaware the centrists are that they’re absolutely going up against the wall, just like the rest of us. but they’d rather have cushy jobs than not get executed
The issue is not that there are no people who know what the right thing to do would be. It’s that those people don’t end up in powerful-enough positions.
That’s clearly by design, too 😐 who could possibly give up all the time and money and has the amount of influence and power to get there in the first place? All the real money is centralized in the wrong hands at this point, and they will gladly gatekeep
In Germany, the resurgence of Die Linke (a hard-left party who reject the prevailing wisdom that there is organic demand for far-right policies and the way to beat the fash is by stealing their policies and presenting them in a more acceptable form) at a time when the Social Democrats (who did exactly that) lost votes may be a beacon of hope.
I’m afraid those centrist governments are just kicking can down the road and we’ll be getting less lucky as time goes on.
Yep. Case in point: America.
learn from us. enforce consequences on the political corruption of nazis

How powerful of a position do you need to posses in order to start a riot?
I was referring to people who, from their position would be able to take formal action.
