      Just a little excerpt

      Basically every major crisis in the last 100+ years was well forseen by leftists pointing at it saying “guys this will definitely go wrong” and there were always people shouting “shut up you little sissy treehugger” at them

        Yes crisis and issues objectively created by their own leftist policies, presidents wtv. I’m aware that you guys are most likely Americans and I’m not. Politics in Europe works differently and here is the kicker: every leftist politician in the US would be considered extreme right if they tried to appeal to people in Europe in the way they do in the US. Sometimes you even hear people joking about the fact that our most “extreme right” politician is more leftist than the most leftist one in the US. It may also come as as shock to you that here there isn’t much distinction between leftist parties and plain communist parties - they even usually win elections on coalitions and they also own the majority of the media around here.

        Essentially what we have around here is extreme left, mostly communist, governing countries while running their show on the shadows of “Hitler (the right) was bad”. The end result is an Europe that is constantly massacred with immigration from Islamic countries and economies hitting the rock bottom. Most of you can’t even begin to imagine the damage already done and how bad things are now. The left/communists failed Europe and this is why today they say the “extreme right” (which is actually about as right as the US left) is on the raise here.

      the left has always been right.

      Just as the right has never been right – it’s always been wrong.

      If the right were right it would realise that the right were left.

      Some factions of leftists are wrong. Unfortunately, these are the factions that have historically gained political power
