I do see your point but this is like calling raising the alarm on Hitler in 1938 "politics."
This is about the collapse of human rights.
Collapse of human rights in america, lots of places where human rights are there like always and lots of places where they aren't there like always. Yes this is serious, yes I think you should spread it, but it is politics just like invading Greenland is.
Also, I did upvote it, right, me making a comment even counts as engagement so in the end i'm not hurting your effort of raising the alarm but helping you along.
Mostly fair points, but if you don't think there's a symbiosis between the rise of Trump and the far right efforts in Germany, Hungary, Canada, and others, I think you are missing the big picture.
Yes, Germany and Canada have had some success in holding it off - for now. But even that is arguably at least influenced by the worldwide shock at just how bad Trump has been.
Not claiming you are, just standing my ground a bit on the relevance to this sub, and to folks not in the US.
