It's not that simple. I'm from Spain and the case with our own far-right party is different. They've lost momentum gradually, through multiple figureheads leaving or being kicked out, with the main guy still standing, but the scandals and the lack of actual policies proposed have definitely hurt them. The problem is that those who vote for them are exactly the ones who used to vote for the traditionally 'moderate' conservative party. Same as in France. So it's just a constant voter dance between the two parties. The actual number of right-wing voters hasn't changed much.

One can only hope that disenfranchisement as you call it (I call it chronic planned distraction) will eventually lead to some form of working-class rebellion, as it tends to happen historically.

But this will definitely hurt the European far-right. Le Pen was one of their main bastions and believe it or not, those types are not so easily replaceable. People lose interest quickly and they'll tire of the 'this was all a politically motivated complot' rhetoric. I've seen the same happen in my country. In fact, the right lost the last general election because they were so sure they were going to win, their campaign sucked.

I still think this is good news though. Should help the far-right lose momentum. But then again it's getting harder all the time to distinguish them from the 'moderate' right.

Definitely. Macron is jumping gleefully at this.

I can definitely recommend Librewolf over Vivaldi if you don't need crazy levels of customization. To me it was just much more than what I needed so I went with Librewolf which is also obviously a lot lighter. Vivaldi being based on Chromium is pretty much the only criticizable thing about the project. Henry from Techlore interviewed their CEO not long ago, look it up, it was quite interesting.

Also, I am planning on moving to Norway in the next two to three years, would you mind if I messaged you privately with a couple questions?

Thank you for that, pay no mind to those who won't bother opening the full post to see it.

Holy fuck! I didn't know that.

I don't have that phone anymore but I used WebApps for banking and chatting and they worked well. Now their app store is much much bigger though.

I bought a Linux phone back in 2015 (BQ Aquaris 5 running Ubuntu Touch) and even back then with the flagrant lack of apps the phone was usable

Spinach is a finicky bastard in my experience, take good care of it

Green Mile 😭😭😭😭😭

 

So I watched 'No Other Land' last night. I didn't see anything new in it necessarily, but it's a brilliant documentary that everybody should watch.

I feel so sad, so disgustingly deceived, so sick of all the propaganda around me.

How/where do you find hope?

 

I mean it's all just business innit?
