Yes, I’m familiar with that part of your legislation.
Approximately everyone else here except for you sees AfD as a target for banning because “they’re radical far right”. No, sorry, bad idea.
Even banning an anti-democracy party at first might be a bad idea. Better go figure out why is anyone voting for them.
Banning an anti-democracy party is an absolute last-resort measure. It only exists in Germany because this is how Hitler came to power, so the idea is to prevent that scenario from repeating. I can see the point, however it is yet to be proven that such bans would actually help preserve the democratic order.
Oh yeah, that last implication certainly is full of polite implying. I’m honored.
You know what I see? Someone who’s afraid that their world order will change. And their solution is “lock them up while we’re in the majority”.
You know what I also see? A failed German re-unification, extreme arrogance of the west Germans towards east Germans, a bouquet of additional socio-economical problems that have been ignored for decades. And a consequent voters’ revolt.
And their solution? Tell all those angry people that they’re nazi and their problems will continue being ignored. I’m sure that will solve it.
The party in question, AfD, is fuckin scary. They, in fact, are openly nazi. And, yet, I promise you, banning them and continuing to ignore the underlying issues will only make things worse.

I feared that would be the answer. I’d go on a vacation to Paris with my “guardian” and poison him there.
ah, ok, tell me please, what exactly do you see right through? I wanna know. For research purposes. (And to report it to the headquarters, so we could improve our sabotage operation).
You can only ban them if they seriously threaten the democratic order. Which some of their members might claim to want to do, but so far the whole party hasn’t shown much of action in the direction.
If you do ban your political opponents because “now they need to reorganize and won’t get money”. You will only strengthen their point that the current democratic order cannot be trusted and that their voters are ignored by the system. You will turn 10% of hardcore voters and 20% of rebel voters into 30% hardcore voters.
And then good luck to you with having any democracy whatsoever. Or do you plan to maybe institute a special democratic police and jail everyone with antidemocratic views? What about jailing some 30% of a certain region of your country? How do you imagine this will go down?
While our regulations and social security make us the most desirable immigration destination.
We should focus more on investing in technology, but that doesn’t mean that we need to deregulate to allow uber/amazon type of companies to grow here. They’re not a public benefit.
Just like their european friends. Or, I mean, they’d wish they could.
Signal just somehow forgets to store your IP address. So, their response will be “here are our logs, that phone number last time logged in yesterday, that’s all we got”
The holy spirit help you with your servers that run on windows.
I’d also suppose this update won’t affect you, cuz you’re hopefully not running latest win11 on a server.
They banned NPD and AFD happened.
All you’ll get is a new party filling up the political vacuum and their audience being even more die-hard radicals.
In a democracy where some 30% vote nazi, banning them won’t solve anything. Anything.
No, I won’t shut up, because you and people like you are part of the problem. If you think the solution is to jail and ban your political opponents, I got bad news for you.
As a lesson to every self-respecting woman: leave that country as soon as you reach an age of independence.
Opposite in the EU. Most banks won’t even give you an option for a dispute. Or it will be awfully convoluted.
PayPal? Best dispute system ever. Saved me from online purchase scams countless times.
Same. Not GDPR compliant, that’s for sure.
Good point, but as pointed out, private schools pay very, very well.
USA is a bit of an outlier, in most others developed countries you’ll do absolutely fine even working in a public school. Not so much in the developing countries. But there private schools are even more widespread.
You live in a developing country that has “recently” ended a straight of dictatorship. Your previous government did everything possible to fk up your rental market to the point of it having one of the worst salary-to-housing ratio in the world.
40 years ago you would’ve been unemployed cuz there was no private sector.
At the same time, with your background you wouldn’t even need to move to Germany/France/Nordics to fix your situation. You could move to fuckin Poland and you’d get your housing needs sorted out.
When I say “by choice”, for Portuguese folks it means staying in their country. You have an EU passport. Use it.
Exactly. You also sell your country to a Russian oligarch while on drugs. This becomes a huge meme and essentially 100% of the popualtion has heard the story. 5 years later you win the elections and form the government.
I’d say these elections are a landmark in democratic failures of modern history.
Austria is top 20 HDI, the popualtion is educated and informed, there’s a free press, living standard is one of the highest in Europe, there’s a strong social security system, unions, Vienna keeps winning at being the most liveable city in the world (with 25% of the Austrian population living there). The list goes on.
How is such election outcome possible?
Those are political statements aimed at the domestic voter.
We need a better asylum policy for political refugees. Unfortunately, the overall trend is in the opposite direction.
USA-backed jewish radical terrorists continue their unlawful expansion and genocide in the middle east by declaring war on Lebanon.
What a banger of a headline.
