Additionally, what do these skits suggest about race relations in society and the progress we're making overall?
It shows that we have made progress to fight racism since this is not acceptable today. :)
Also lets see :
- Going against the Constitution.
- Giving amnesty to far-right criminals (and some random vandals) to stay in power.
- Making pacts with literal past terrorists to stay in power.
- Making anti-socialist concessions like allowing the richest region to keep all its taxes for itself to stay in power.
- Gift them the railway system as well, while you're at it, that'll keep you in power.
- Of course, they mentioned nothing of the above when they ran for the presidency. Of course they have also been lying non-stop about their intentions until the last moment while steadily going on with it.
- Now the president's wife is on trial because of how being his wife made some really big corporations gift her very expensive pieces of software and contacts that helped build a very big business that she would have never had without his influence (I believe this would translate to English as "influence peddling").
- Of course, every leftist media is framing this as a "right-side witch hunt", because how dare we put the president on trial for anything, even with the proof being public.
- We also have the past vice-president on record talking about how the president offered to introduce him to some judges so he could avoid a little bit of trouble he found himself in.
- Creating laws "for the women" that are clearly anti-men and yet they actually served to put condemned rapists easier back on the streets because of loopholes they introduced.
- Creating services "to protect women" that are now proven bullshit that did nothing but serve to enrich themselves.
- I won't get started on the criminal rates shooting up from completely unrestricted immigration.
I will need reliable sources for all of that. I'm not a Spain specialist, so I won't believe you until there are evidences. Also, a lot of things here are "They did that, but I did not see the impact or the reasons, so they obviously just did that to stay in power"... yeah.. I won't believe this kind of rethoric.
is defending the dictator Maduro from Venezuela and accusing dissidents of being "like Trump supporters"
THose guys where close to his ideology, so yes, it logical. They were definitely not leftists.
I think you are confusing defending the elections and defending Maduro. The left do not necessarily defend Maduro.
I bet "Venezuela isn't real communism"?
Its not even Communist, its corrupted from all side. Maduro is trying to implement some leftist things but it seems that even he is corrupted. There are not saint in this arena.
They just rigged an election in the most obvious way to stay in power
How do you know that ? Do you have proof coming from an international investigation ?
I'm not saying its wrong. But what are the UNDENIABLE evidences ?
You were clearly biased by reading it's a leftists government, because "left is good".
I did not say "left is good" I implied that the left was always on the left of the right side and ASIDE from obvious authoritarian gov on the left... the left will always be better than the right on every subjects.
I don't see how targetting leftists will make your somehow someone with more progressist values mate"
And it still stand. If you are on the right side.. its really not targetting leftist will not be the bright move you think it is. Leftist on the other hand will be much more legitimate to do that.
But I know how to recognize a leftist when I see one. And I didn't see any here.
Again. Like Van, you are making the mistake than because I'm telling you that there are two clear side, you think that I'm telling you that there is no nuance.
This is not the case. Let me show you what I told to Van:
We consider that sometimes, the world IS black and white, not always, but a LOT of time. And that in those case, accepting to make compromises with toxic ideologies is not possible.
Liberals made you believe that rationnality was synonymous of being able to see the nuances in politics. That the right thing to do was to be able to pick and choose what was right and wrong in all sides of the political spectrum.
Problem : This ideology the result of a sophism : the middle-ground fallacy. The belief that the truth lies somewhere in between opposing propositions.
In reality, where you uses that ideology, you put yourself to the right side, simply because taking idea from the right and from the left will ALWAYS benefit the right side.
This is how you might think the political spectrum is:
With two side and a "rationnal" middle ground. But in reality, this is how the political spectrum really is:
Two sides, black and white, bright and dark, blue and red, with NUANCES but two sides that are NOT reconcilable !
Politics exist because of the opposition of values. If we start to make the opposition dissapear, we depoliticize the conflict and we lose the reason why there is a conflict in the first place without resolving the issues behind the conflict.
In other words, we sweep the dust under the carpet.
Centrism and depolitization only helps the status co.
As you can see, two side, a dark and a bright one. BUT with nuance inside of them. And INSIDE those nuance (if you were to zoom in really close) you would find little cluster of color of the other side. Because even in the left, there are rightist biases and in the Right, there are progressive ideas.
My vision of politic.. in reality, in far for complex than you think. Its simply, clearly structured.
And for saying that. Its obvious that you are a
[FIND YOUR LABEL HERE] and I'm not proud of you.
