Why the fuck does Europe have so many freedom haters be they on the left or right doesn't matter? It's either a leftist or rightist trying to fuck with my liberty. I don't care on what side you lean on..If it isn't liberty I'm coming for you.

I think that it matters a great deal.
One side wants entire groups to not exist. We have seen that play out, time after time after time. We have seen that carried to the point of concentration camps, and the systematic extermination of entire groups of people.
We know where that road ends, and it ends is more blood than anyone should have the slightest desire to ever see spilled in their lifetime.
The other side might not be perfect, but it isn't out to exterminate people.
That's not a small difference. It's not a subtle difference. It's the difference between one side thinking that the holocaust didn't go far enough, didn't succeed enough, and the other side seeing it as an absolutely horrific event, something so horrible that it should never be allowed to happen again.
And make no mistake, when the far right is literally copying propaganda from the Nazis, and they are, they damn well know what they are doing.
Nazi genocide was a dress rehearsal compared to the world communist genocide. My country was invaded by both. At least the nazis didn't behave like subhumans is what all the old people who lived through those times told me. Nazis had only certain people who they targeted. Bolsheviks were savages killing countries worth of people undiscriminately.
I'm so afraid of a PP + Vox coalition winning the upcoming elections. They're gonna destroy all the social progress that's been made here in the last 20 years for LGBTQ+ rights, women's rights and other stuff.
And as a trans person, I'm afraid for my safety and for the availability of legal medical treatment in the future.
As an American….
“First time?”
Spain has had a fascist dictatorship already. It did not go well.
How long did it last?
Thirty four years too long.
