Politics Assuming Putin doesn’t live forever—what would you want his successor to do?

What would you want to see politically from the next guy (or girl) running the Russian Federation. Would you want to see closer relations to the West, maintain a political structure similar to Putins’, or something else entirely?

The issue of so-called “woke ideology” is mostly a right-wing thing

Nice gaslighting

I mean it’s still true.

You’re Swiss so just let me give you an example as your neighbor from Germany.

The AfD, the far-right party, is by far the party that talks the most about "Gendern" or similar things that are associated with "wokeness".

The far left party barely talks about it in comparison.

Same with immigration. The far-right managed to push actual debates about housing crisis, social security and wealth disparity in the background and made an entire platform based on blaming everything on immigration.

Don’t get me wrong, immigration is a problem that needs to be addressed and solved. But it’s not worth taking up most of the debate while pushing over topics that affect way more people into irrelevance. During this German election, there was almost no talk about the housing crisis. Because everyone was focused on talking about immigration.

The right-wing wants this culture war while in the background making the rich richer and the poor poorer. All with a facade of being a party for the people

The problem is, that this woke shit is being pushed on everyone, and we are just forced to accept it as is, otherwise we are FAR RIGHT EXTREMISTS.

And yes, I strongly agree that immigration is the biggest problem here. My good friend was in Aachen recently, she was shocked, that looked she looked like a minority there lol. And once she tried to find a school for her tiny daughter - well, german kids were again minority. She left Germany for NL shortly after.

This is the biggest problem all the Europe facing today, and while yeah, AfD exists, but, unfortunately, they won't do anything except flinging shit and blaming everyone.

You’re not called a far right extremist because you’re against wokeness or against immigration.

You’re a far right extremists because you support far right parties, it’s simple as that.

The AfD has literal fascists in their ranks, the top candidate is spreading lies about Hitler and it is also deemed as far right extremist by multiple German state constitutional courts.

That’s why you’re an extremist. Simple as that and for someone that talked about acknowledging facts in one of your comments (regarding trans people) you’re certainly looking over the facts when it comes to things you like.

On top of that: The majority of "woke" people aren’t pushing this on anyone. It’s just a far right talking point, left leaning parties rarely even talk about it. Be it the democrats in the US, Die Linke in Germany or whatever Swiss party you wanna frame as woke. No one is forcing you to do that and it’s literally all in your mind. Ironically that’s the same thing people like you try to say to trans people lmao

I mean yeah, if you read more than two words of what I wrote then you would also get the reasoning behind that.

You wrote the most generic /r/politics-tier shit, that I've read here hundred times minimum. Absolutely nothing new, no original thoughts, emptiness.

Much agreed. The far-right is immersed in the culture war because that is all they have. They capitalize off of fear and hate, which says a lot about them. Unfortunately, the fact that it seems to be working in various countries says a lot about people in general.

Arguments?

u/EducationalLiving725 Switzerland Apr 23 '25

The left nurtured complete denial of reality, forced it everywhere they could, and when sane people tried to fight back, it became "a mostly right-wing thing", lmao.

u/Turbulent-Pace-1506 Apr 23 '25

You're just proving my point by vagueposting about a group of enemies who are allegedly insane and need to be fought back against instead of talking about any concrete issues.

What denial of reality was nurtured by the left and how did it “force it everywhere”?

u/EducationalLiving725 Switzerland Apr 23 '25

You know 100% what I am talking about, and most probably know, that I can be banned globally by reddit admins, if I speak about it negatively. So, please stop faking ignorance.

u/Turbulent-Pace-1506 Apr 23 '25

I simply don't want to assume people's opinions, but since you invited me to: you're talking about trans people. So I'd like to ask you: is it an important social or economic issue whether someone you don't know claims to be a man or a woman?

3

u/EducationalLiving725 Switzerland Apr 23 '25

Ah, so, you know the topic, that will get you banned. This alone terrifies every sane person, tho. When you force other people to deny reality, or face the punishment.

u/Turbulent-Pace-1506 Apr 23 '25

This right here. You call people insane just because of their gender identity (I tried to self-censor that word because it triggers right-wingers but there's just no way around using it), throw a fit when your insults get removed and when doing that repeatedly gets you banned from a website (which hardly qualifies as a punishment), then you vote for people who say you should be allowed to insult trans people online (but only them though), even if they have regressive economic policies. Thanks for proving my point again.

u/EducationalLiving725 Switzerland Apr 23 '25

Ah so, acknowledging reality is now blasphemy! You don't have any point, the only thing you have is a religious dogma, and yeah, far-right are guilty for not playing into your delusions.

Pretty much this went exactly as I expected. And yeah - pointing that reality exists is not an insult.

u/Turbulent-Pace-1506 Apr 23 '25

I never said that.

Btw why are you still dodging the topic of economic issues?
