And then they would have removed them later. Just like all the statues of Adolf Hitler, which no longer exist.

We only learn about the ones with defects, because they are the most interesting. Most people in history were fine.

One historic figure who had no known defects: Alan Turing

If left wing policies were truly more popular, why didn’t the Democrats win? The voters didn’t get Bernie, so if you can’t get your ideal option, you instead take the worse of the two remaining ones? Even if voters were only voting for damage reduction, they’d still vote Democrat in that case.

But the Democrats didn’t win. The voters don’t want damage reduction. The voters want damage.

If the vast majority of Americans believed the Democrats to be less evil, the Democrats would have 90% of the vote. If that were the case, the Republicans would move ever further left, perhaps even overtaking the Democrats, until they get a chance at winning again.

The reason the parties are right wing is because the voters are right wing.

That’s why we need a communist revolution where everyone will be a happy little comrade

The reason that people don’t vote Democrats is the same reason that people won’t join your revolution.

If you found enough people to support a revolution, that’d mean you have enough people to change the system by simple voting.

Indeed, since freely speaking had consequences.

they never said you are completely free of consequences

Who are “they”?

american free spech has limits, it really only protects you when criticizing the government

“Free speech only when talking about the government” is very different from “free speech”.

I should have been more clear that I’m not talking about a nazi rally in any arbitrary context, but specifically one in nazi germany.

That doesn’t make sense. If someone at a Nazi rally shouted “actually Jews are alright” and got arrested for it, would you say that’s compatible with free speech? Because while they might have experienced consequences, “free speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences”, so since they were able to say what they intended to they had free speech?

Watch me criticize current Israeli behaviour as well as past German behaviour (as a German)

Some duplicates, some odd ones (why is Olaf Scholz in there?)
