  • Don’t worry, the youth will only become further right-wing.

    Here’s the result of a local German state election from September. It displays the results for people aged 18-24, divided into male (light) and female (dark). AfD is openly fascist. No other age group voted for them as much. Getting 46% in a system with proportional representation is basically unheard of by the way.

    I very much suspect this trend will continue.


  • Why then do countries with existing left parties and proportional representation elect further and further right-wing parties in Europe?

    It’s simple: They promise easy solutions for complicated problems. Banning immigration will fix all crime and the economy, opposing LGBTQ+ rights will ensure a return of the better olden days, climate change is nothing to be worried about etc etc

    And even people depending on social support will gladly shoot themselves in their feet if it means someone else will have it worse.

















  • For mobile, I’d recommend Mull instead of Iceraven

    Pros:

    • Just like Iceraven, a fork of Fenix
    • incorporates the arkenfox user.js
    • Doesn’t have “No warranties or guarantees of security or updates or even stability!” in its project description

    Cons:

    • APKs are only on FDroid
    • awful name, no animal reference
    • awful logo color scheme imo - magenta on turquoise is… an interesting choice

    Here’s a probably somewhat biased but from quickly skimming over it not inaccurate browser comparison by the developer(s) of Mull:
