- lstodd 4mo agoHaha nice catch. In EU there is no left or right, only reelections by scaremongering. Also 75% effective tax rate, not including VAT.
- xdennis 4mo ago> "EU is left". Haha, good joke. You are out of touch. The left supports the EU far more than the right. See this Pew poll from 2025[1]. In Europe, for every country, the left view the EU more favorably. The largest difference is in Poland where 88% of left wingers support it and 41% of right wingers support it.

- asadotzler 4mo agoIf your choices were Hitler or Mussolini and you picked one side over the other, how you voted isn't saying much about your politics. How people vote, often the lesser of two evils, isn't necessarily representative of anyone's political views, the voter or the candidate. Suggesting the EU is liberal because more liberals support the EU is hardly useful and borders on misleading.
- lstodd 4mo agoI chose Mylene Farmer and Welle: Erdball. Hitler and Mussolini haven't got up there by themselves, they were symbols that personified current beliefs. It is the same with Putin for example: he rides some (diminishing, but still there) amount of faith. Absent that he would have been silently buried long ago.
