Not very progressive at all basic human rights, income disparity, housing affordability, violence against minorities, over-all well being, health, social programs that's what they determined them by.. Brexit is completely irrelevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, many of the countries listed were just as segregated - the Netherlands has always been a multicultural society, though not multi-ethnic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillarisation). Besides, countries like Poland (which didn't suffer from a recession in 2008, amazing economic growth and mono-cultural) are even more conservative/xenophobic than the US. do you live in the US? i'm in cali and we have everything there and there are some big differences in the way latinos and blacks think as opposed to european whites because we've been historically relegated to the slums of our cities. i mean there isnt a scripture that we abide by that is different, its a difference in upbringing and realities of the environments we come up in. just look at the election results. of course there are lots of liberal whites, but its easy to see how overwhelmingly latinos and blacks supported democrats or bernie to the point where it became very violent. sure some POC support trump, but overwhelmingly POC supported democrats out here poland is a country with a history of stress like i mentioned. the remnants of the world wars still heavily wear on their minds being caught between germany and the soviets. kind of a perfect example of how external stress can induce fear into a people and make them xenophobic. makes lots of sense btw it is possible to be multicultural and all diverse as hell and be just fine as long as you dont have severe economic recessions or war/conflict. not sure how the netherlands has been economically in their past since i dont study them much I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.

And of course it was invaded by Germany in the second world war and got millions of refugees from Belgium/Germany in the first world war and interbellum. I don't really know if Poland is that 'shocked' from events that happened generations ago. And of course PoC overwhelmingly support democrats, that's prevalent all over Europe too. The Netherlands has a significant African(-American) community (about 20% in the city I live) and a significant Muslim population too (~15% in this city). (Turkish) Muslims used to vote for our left-wing party, but they formed their own party, African Americans tried to do the same but failed. They all overwhelmingly vote left-wing, though.

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Well, Ofc America isn't here, we managed to elect a racist, bigoted orange as president and we don't even like the idea of a woman being president Spoiler Also we rage against the ideas of racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia existing in our society, but take no steps to curb their influence because it makes us uncomfortable Though maybe thats universal in a sense 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very progressive at all The Brexit vote wasn't just about immigration you know... The NHS, Benifits System and the genera Standard of Living all make it a very progressive and liberal nation. The fact that a right wing party was the one to push and pass same-sex marriage speaks a lot... Even though it shouldn't be a big deal, they've also had two female Prime Ministers... more than certain other countries can say... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made It clear back in the day before elections that you supported him. If that weren't the case, I wouldn't have you in a bad concept. I remember being really triggered and offended by your posts back in the day and no matter what you do or post you can't change the fact that Trump is your president. Be careful what you wish for and enjoy the next for years. LIFE IS GOOD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
