Okeh. Slightly weird to have an opinion with no examples. Propaganda, much?
proud boys is a weird thing, afaik they are extreme-non-DEI so i dont like them.
a bit DEI or anti-DEI is alright.
EDIT: explain the downvotes. am i to moderate for both farleft and farright??
As for the downvotes I don't know I'm just talking here. I can't speak for them. In America, this issue is often played to 'both sides' in bad faith, and far right ideas are given more than equal time in ways that have normalised fascist tendencies for decades, leading to the current situation (more or less a coup in progress). It's a difficult needle you're trying to thread at the best of times, and right now an "even handed" stance feels a lot like cities trying to solve traffic by adding "just one more lane" to their already massive highways.
As ever, this is just me talking.
i should care more about my country and life. if im not in america i can not 100% understand how it is over ther just by reading news or online.
It's a different situation than elsewhere, but it's important to try to understand because these problems will, I regret, continue to spread. America is still a cultural exporter for now, and that includes the insane situation we've come to.
Imagine if, in your country, there was a civil war started by racists over 150 years ago and even though they lost their leaders were allowed to live and hold office, and they were given plenty of room to tell a fake version of events, erect monuments, and fly the flag of rebellion.
That is only a thin slice of one part of what's been going on in the states. If ever your country deals with traitors, I hope you see them hanged. Letting them live will kill your country sooner or later.
