There is no way people would make a map like that just to say “x isn’t allowed in one country”. Yet, here we are.

Sir, this is a meme sub.

Getting beat up by a group of Nazis. When they started kicking my head I thought I was going to die.
Still statistically worse for women than many countries.
Either way, the world is so intertwined that anything that happens on a bigger scale will have an impact on you, no matter where you are.
It’s not even the high and mighty, they don’t really care who works to build their shit. They are even happy about cheap labour that comes with migration. It’s the average Joe that doesn’t see the problem, projects everything on migration and is unable to think rational.
Seeing the massive right wing shift in my country (germany) just because the government proposed to shift to 65% renewable home heating in the next 20 years and slightly above average migration numbers that allegedly bring communities close to collapse if you believe the media, I’m losing all hope of anything ever changing to the better. People will never accept any measures that truly address the root of our problems, because they could mean a slight inconvenience for a short moment and limit the freedoms and possibilities that are taken for granted, but are really just a consequence of the technical development in the last decades. Humans where okay with not having a car or fly around the world for thousands of years, but now for some reason it’s life-defining. People are egocentric, dumb and can’t see past their own little world to understand that there are collective problems that only can be solved collectively. I know how condescending that sounds, but I really don’t know how to see all that differently.
We are absolutely, 100% fucked. I’ve been saying for about 10 years now, that the earliest time for actual change, for collectively deciding what’s right for humanity and the planet, socialism or whatever you want to call it, will come after the next wave of fascism and every day it becomes more obvious that this assessment was correct.
Europe are already shitting their pants because of a couple of thousand migrant, so guess what will happen when it gets into the 100.000s.
I’m expecting full dystopia.
Good.
Die.
You rip off small pieces, roll it in paper and light it.
I disagree. Smoked food is delicious.
Or food
Yeah that was some stupid shit, but coal was phased out at the same rate as nuclear in the last years. You also got to take into account that the decision to phase out nuclear was made before a critical mass (lol) of people realized that CO2 is a far bigger problem. I think the plants could be run some years more, but it takes more to flip a switch for that to work. We neither have personnel nor the supply chains anymore and building new plants will take decades, so it’s far easier to just put all effort into renewables.
Yes because we have nothing else and never will.
Weird, I thought we were living in a literal 1984 dictatorship. Did they forget to tell Putin?
It’s really easy, just unplug your computer.
Two possibilities:
Apathy - people stop voting for parties that can be a counterweight to the far right.
Abbreviated analysis/Feelings over facts - people are more likely to fall for politicians presenting themselves as underdogs who are going to revolutionise the political landscape, which is a strategy fascists like to use. “Drain the swamp” is a perfect example for that, and if I remember correctly, there were a lot of potential Sanders supporters who voted for Trump. I know both are more or less opposites, but both provided a canvas for people’s feelings that “politicians are all the same” and that fundamental change needs to happen. The latter is true, but with proper analysis shouldn’t lead to voting for the far right.
I’d use knife and fork but you do you.
