Well I did my citizen duty of voting today. The Czech Republic has its parliament voting today (yesterday too). I'm one of those who keeps their vote to themselves. However, it's sad that aside from the likely winner which is led by an asshat the likely third place finish will go to a party that plays up fear mongering of immigrants. To top it off the leader is a fucking full (or maybe half) Japanese man. An immigrant himself. As a total and proper weeb this saddens me. As a person who has been a long time immigrant many times and lived in multiple countries both homogenous and diverse and is a pretty decent person (or so I think), I'm pretty bummed out. I'm not surprised after Brexit and Trump. This isn't an isolated situation in some countries. It's worldwide. Luckily it isn't going to be that effective in the CR due to how politics work here and that this party isn't #1.
I don't know man. There's that famous quote about not learning from history will only lead to repeating the same mistakes. But stuff like scapegoating and hating others, an us vs them mentality... like you would think there would be a greater shift since WW2, but not really. People forget or don't care and revert. It's really an ignoring of history. It happens constantly. Whew, whatever.
Wings getting a point against Washington is a positive.
