    Thank you very much!

    You forgot to mention center wing fascists. :D

    We don’t have to go much deeper into this, but I don’t think it’s possible to list many governments that did not commit genocide and human rights oppression.

    If you look closely at definitions of the words and ideas in political discussions, you will see that many of them are discussed in abstract, and that those abstract ideals benefit one tiny specific part of the population.

    Anyway, I’ll try not pollute this too much, but feel free to dm me to keep it up.

    Cheers, and thanks for the tale of voat!

      Nor did I say that there was. But there’s a difference when you actively support when a government is committing human rights violations. Every government is flawed. Some are immensely more flawed than others. I can criticize my own government and at the same time recognize that it is far better than the government of say, North Korea.

      Good luck out there in this crazy world we all live in.
