don't worry about it. in internal elections the far-right is gaining ground.

i have no idea.

it means you'll have to be a registered member to have access after it goes private.

lmao.

yeah the other commenter forgets that one is not only writing an answer but also engaging in a larger conversation. let that one be a constructive one.

i always try not to and am always sorry if i come out as such.

i count ukraine war victims as murdered by putin. either russian or ukranian.

nah, the collective trauma of perestroika gave origin to putin. only in its chaotic environment would someone that is at the same time political leader, criminal leader and oligarch leader come to be. russian people do vote for putin and his party. criminals either work for him either get exiled(see wagner group), sometimes its even worse to them and their family. oligarchs either nut up or shut up, bought by the relative safety of their families living in western europe.

addressing the reactionary bullshit comment, i can only infer that admitting the mistake of perestroika is a disturbing experience for you. but i recommend adam curtis documentary "hypernormalization" to understand putin and a part of the russian zeitgeist.

germany is doing the same. so i guess confidence isn't being destroyed between those two. but is was talking about the american isolationist trump.

the worse political export the us has is the bi-party system. it does way more damage to any political system than the liberal capitalism. lobbying comes a close second.

it matters. one is an accelerationist the other is a conservative of the status quo. neither are going to improve anything but one will try his most to destroy any confidence.

i heard chinese are dumping their ev's. not that ethiopia is that big of a consumer market.
