Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

It's unfortunately common and has been going on for a while. As "left" parties abandon the class struggle or anti-imperialism the far-right picks it up. What differentiates socdem parties from liberal parties these days? At least the liberals are consistent. The socdems will stab you in the back and claim they're doing acupuncture. They have nothing special that sets them apart, they're like all other parties with the same policies (austerity is good for you sweaty π type), they're just marginally better sometimes when they feel like it.
And it's a failure of communist parties in Europe too to have been coopted by this same milquetoast brain rot after 1991 and abandoning all revolutionary points. Now for the most part we serve to bring the socdems, who have bigger parties, back to the left when they want to liberalize something.
Had socdems yell at me because I am not going to vote on the Dutch Green/Labour coalition saying I'm some sort of traitor. Like, what point of me being against NATO don't you understand lol. 'Yeah but you have to sometimes make concessions you know!' Fuck off, maybe YOU should have some actual views for once .
They could just ignore NATO in their party programme, but no, instead they clamoured for more funding.

LOL, itβs not even like the vote was contentious if Iβm reading this right
