Well, we don't elect unwanted pussy grabbers in Europe. We've made a significant progress though. In terms of social rights, I think Europe is way better than the US.

As a European, I find this article about India shocking. Summary: parents prefer sons because they bring money, while women are a "cost". Some people make children until they have sons. Women are paid less and aren't considered to be equal to men. In brief, India's society is somewhere in the 19-20th century when compared to Europe?

Do you realize that every big player in Europe wants Berlusconi to win the upcoming elections because he 'stands for Europe'? It's really funny and pathetic how people like Merkel were bashing him non-stop and now they are like 'please win' :D

Yes, but he is also a friend of Putin... what the fuck? You can't stand for Europe and be Putin's friend. It's a contradiction.

Well, you can support Putin's friends. I don't want to. There is a red line for me. If there aren't any barriers for you, then good for you.

Putin has gas. Will you use your moral sense to warm millions of houses? As an example, if Putin stops selling gas to Italy we have enough for 15 days only.

And thus sums up how Russia has been able to muck around with peoples elections and invade the Ukraine, holding cheap heating fuel and other natural resources over the heads of some nations.

Well, what do you expect? We only have right-wing neoliberals and far-right neoconservative no-border parties that believe that freedom is the right of russian oligarchs to fuck over their own working people and then use that money to speculate on housing in the West in exchange for resources, while demanding that "our own" rich are finally allowed to assrape everyone with the West even more, so that they can "stay competitive".
Though I guess I'm too harsh, some of the social-democrats and conservatives are just genuine esoterism-fanatics that believe that money is not a resource of its own and values and prices are not a matter of human demands and therefore of wealth, but just happen equally for some ying-yang reasons.
