i suppose but it's a common argument for the advantage of a cp victory which suggests many who would prefer it aren't nazis, realistically nazis (as in antisemitic fascists rather than just german nationalist) would not get what they want if germany won since it's unlikely they'd come to power

not really? if anything "no holocaust" is a frequent argument made for why a cp victory would've been better

there's a difference between being a germanophile and thinking "antisemitism, concentration camps and eugenics are good"

didn't german policy switch to supporting an independent lithuania as a buffer state post-brest-litovsk?

lol

same but my country's ruling party is incompetent, dependent on being a tax haven and has america as our biggest trading partner so we're in trouble

one of those games i have in my collection but haven't got around to playing much

THE INFLUENCE OF THE CHILI DOG RACE IS WANING

also yeah i get those vibes, it's probably the movie voice, way of speaking and knuckles being very conscious of his echidna heritage

(as kick the rock in sa2 puts it "i gotta protect this place, i do it for my race)

to the majority of people it is

they have a bit more social prestige now that their views are somewhat reflected by those in power, plus the mockery of elon musk or even donald trump (remember drumpf, the balloon or covfefe?) hasn't hindered them much

perhaps but as i said i don't think it would've kept democrats above water until the election

as you mentioned before

bsky.app/profile/lave...

if attacking trump for being a threat to democracy and women's reproductive rights ultimately didn't work to win over independents i don't think this line of attack would either

the democrats needed to stand for something that wasn't "we're not trump" to win the election

it might've rallied democrat voters more but i don't see it affecting indy/gop voters

it did rattle republicans, i think it's because many value conformity above all else and want to portray liberals as the abnormal ones for supporting lgbt rights etc., overall i think if they had stuck with it it might've rallied democrat voters more but not sure it would've affected indy/gop voters

even if the weird remark actually affected the polls (which i'm still not entirely convinced of) i don't think it would have held until november

politicians no, but the media, liberal and left-leaning people had been calling the right incels for years and that's imo much more stigmatising than simply calling them weird
