[POLITICS] EU passes Article 13

[Marik2]

I want a rule free zone.

And there's the reason we need the WW. High quality nonsense thread shut down with a single word. Fun threads always seem to be against the rules :/

It was a fun experiment while it lasted. It showed that the only thing the community is capable of with no rules are edgy stolen forum games, call out threads, occasional ask me anything threads, and grudges spanning multiple threads. It would truly be toxic and more violent, if it existed when the escapist was full of unironic nihilist 12 year olds.

To be honest, the thread was subtly mocking the new rules and the community manager.

EPP is conservatives or moderate right. It is mostly their fault. S&D are social democrats or moderate left, not socialists. That would be GUE/NGL which are pretty clearly against it.

Let me get this straight.

S&D, The Socialist and Democratic party. Itself being the European Parliamentary group of The Socialist Parties of Europe. Does not represent True Socialism??

The Socialist Party of Europe is made up of the following parties:
Section fran?aise de l'Internationale ouvri?re
Parti socialiste
Bulgarska sotsialisticheska partiya
Partito Socialista Italiano
Partido Socialista Obrero Espa?ol

Most of those parties started as socialists but gradually lost that direction during the Cold War. They are still big on social safety net and redistribution but they don't really want to abolish capitalism anymore. It is classical social democracy now.

The ones that might still want to fundamentally change the economic system are all in GUE/NGL. And yes, the split is relatively new.

Yeah, but the replies were fun.

In the event anyone is curious as to the breakdown of party affiliation and voting direction.
Basically what we are to take from this is that Socialists and Old people really want to censor the internet.

The SDP, the Greens and Die Linke are literally the parties the most opposed to it, what the fuck are you on? The majority of the backers of Article 13 are right-wingers, and the majority of its opposition are on the left.

Remember, you're talking to someone who still honest-to-God believes that the Nazi who murdered Heather Heyer with his car in Charlottesville is definitely just a poor understood non-Nazi conservative who is being unjustly persecuted for Heather dying due to a body-weight-induced heart attack after she assaulted his car...
