I mean they waged a bloody revolution against Kings, and inequality has increased a thousand-fold since, so wtf are we doing?

I’m just wondering why you speak with such casual conclusiveness that smaller population size is even worth mentioning, when all evidence says that population size has little to nothing to do with political trends that lead to authoritarian fascism (being that the subject is NZ not being as right wing as USA). I’m trying to argue the fact that there’s zero anthropological data suggesting that population sizes, even climate environments, have any correlation with certain cultures leaning more in a certain direction. You however seem to think it’s worth bringing up, or that there are “many other things that having a smaller population affects” I just want to know where you get that idea from, again, when all evidence points to the contrary.

Musk already did a Nazi salute to a cheering crowd a couple days ago, check back on what exactly?

Smaller population simply means each person’s vote counts for more.

What about the smaller tribes who live under strict patriarchies that can’t vote? Plenty examples of those in history and today (cults for instance). There are also examples of massive cities with egalitarian urban planning with no centralized temples or food storage. So again I ask, what makes you think population size has anything to do with their politics?

Clearly they haven’t seen famous antifa media like ‘Saving Private Ryan’, ‘Band of Brothers’, or ‘Come and See’ due to those flims being too radical.

Don’t forget to use kerosine. It is tradition.

Luigi was a good start but too bad the rest of us are cowards.

This sort of chickenshit faux neutrality, that seems to believe the smart and sensible position is political illiteracy and “working on themselves first”, is the greatest asset to fascists.

It’s a step in the right direction, for sure. Still 100% ineffective unless it’s an actual billionaire instead of a dummy, then we can start calling it a protest. Anything less is masturbation.

I did, and I saw not one but two Nazis salutes. I don’t mean to be ablelist if you’re blind and could only hear audio.

That’s a good look for fascists.

“Hi Jack, bye Jack.”

“No violence is justifiable” - People who protect Nazis

A bigger, louder ‘0’ is still equal to 0, but with more wasted effort to boot. The question is why Berliners still like Naziism enough to leave that building standing is what I wonder when they shine a projector on it for a day and call it anything. I would say they’re doing a lot more to waste effort, energy, optics, and time than being on lemmy.

Cute stunt, nothing will change.

I’m not holding my breath on neolib democrats taking over anything, they’ll be quicker to side with the fascists for convenience and self preservation.

“It’s a much smaller population” literally your second sentence, or do you not comprehend your own writing? Why is their smaller population relevant?

Just because an island has a smaller population doesn’t make it any more or less predisposed to egalitarianism, nor do large populations have to be predisposed to authoritarianism.

Time for peace is long gone, we’ve already let it get too far at this point.
