This is not news. It was the same last year.

Not every Eastern European country is like Hungary though... In fact it's only Hungary, now that Poland's getting a new government.

Also it's not like Western Europe's free of populists either.

At least then limit your attacks on the Israeli military or police. Mass killing civilians does not do anything about the genocide of Palestine. There's a good chance it'll only make it worse.

The idea that people just being in a country are automatically complicit with the government's actions is the real mental gymnastics here. And yeah I understand that hatred can make people blind, but that does not make it justifiable.

Shoot the person harassing you, sure. That's something completely different from killing civillians arbitrarily.

I still have some Reddit Premium left, so I don't get ads, so I don't feel guilty about visiting the site occasionally. But I removed the link to Reddit from my task bar, so the times I visit the site is almost always just because I followed a link.
That said, I do miss Reddit a little bit. Kbin replaces it partially, but simply because if its size it's much more likely you find something interesting on Reddit than on here.
