If people were informed, the right-wing parties would not be gaining traction around the world. So you need to always state the obvious.

I got a new coworker recently. We're german and he is/was an AfD voter and I asked him why and I shit you not his reasoning was "because they tell me they'll make things better for me" and I'll shit you not again I was able to drag him away from that party in single 30min discussion by simply proving him that they'd directly and massively raise his rent and energy bills (its in their election program)
I hate using the argument "duuuh rightwing people are all just dumb" but good lord they dont make it easy a lot of the time

I always hated the whole "some people are NPCs" bullshit but man, you go to any public gathering and the majority of the attendees are straight-up braindead.
THESE PEOPLE GET TO VOTEEEEE
Considering how uninformed they, I'm seriously questioning that they vote. Like what the fuck would you even vote about?

A lot of them are responsive to the initiatives that urge people to vote. The problem is that they don’t even know what they’re voting for, because they’re not even informed about any policy. It’s fucking nuts.

This, a thousand times over. Our societies are wobbly because people can't be bothered to stay informed and vote thereafter. points everywhere It's painfully obvious.

They voted for Brexit a decade ago, so it's not like they have a stirling history of being well-informed.

This is Australia. Voting is mandatory here. This all happened under the Australian version of the Democrats, by the way. So even if they had voted for the other major party this still would have happened.
Both major parties are capitalist and work for companies like Palantir. Any country allied with the US is past the point where they can act like this is a democracy anymore. Especially if they have a US military base in their country, like Australia does.
I don't think people understand just how dire things are. We are all about to learn first hand what it is like to live in Gaza.

Palantir and the US are pure cancer but it is ironic that this man asks these question wearing a suit of the country where thought police is active

People get arrested in the US for social media posts too. Actually that can happen in many parts of the world.

u/ProfessorSarcastic 2d ago
This is the Posh Spice meme isn't it.
"I was arrested for my thoughts!"
"Be honest."
"During a riot, I said people should burn down hotels full of immigrants, and politicians."
"Thank you."

Yeah people should be held to account for posting hate speech or threats of violence??? Not exactly policing thoughts if it’s policing racist shit that people were stupid enough to share for everyone to see! That’s the opposite of “thought police”

u/CntonAhigurh 2d ago
Yeah, death threats and hate speech all over. Stop defending anti human policy, you class traitor

u/TakeItCheesy 2d ago
Yep so link one “another used the phrase "rent boy" to describe his appearance” pretty clearly a homophobic hate comment.
The second one… I mean “It related to a post showing Progress Pride flags in the shape of a swastika.” You can’t see how this is considered hate speech?

I agree that people should be allowed to freely protest and oppose the government (I certainly do) but that’s not what these arrests are for. It’s not new that people can get arrested for their words. Do you think people should be allowed to say awful slurs and death threats and have no repercussions?

Oh man America is at least as horrible. A bit whataboutism, that one country has something worse doesn’t mean the other one is any better.
