German Law is very sane in regards to voting rights.

§ 13 of the German Federal Election Act (BWG) stipulates that only who is disenfranchised as a result of a judge's decision is excluded from the right to vote.

This provision does not conflict with the general principle of equality in Article 3 of the Basic Law (Grundgesetz - GG) and the principles of equality and universality of the vote, because the right to vote is not automatically revoked, but may only be revoked by a judge's ruling if certain legal requirements are met.

However, this exclusion as a result of a German court ruling is only possible in a few cases expressly mentioned in the Criminal Code (StGB) and the Federal Constitutional Court Act (BVerfGG) and applies for a maximum of two to five years. Exclusion from the right to vote applies if a person has been sentenced to at least six months or at least one year in prison for the following offenses, for example:

  • Preparation of a war of aggression and high treason against the Federation
  • Treason and disclosure of state secrets
  • Attack against organs and representatives of foreign states
  • Obstruction of elections and falsification of election documents
  • Bribery of members of parliament
  • acts of sabotage of means of defense or intelligence service endangering security (in this case, a prison sentence of at least one year is required).

In these cases, the deprivation of the right to vote is at the discretion of the court in accordance with the special criminal law provisions and is not an automatic consequence of the conviction for these criminal offenses.

Furthermore, the right to vote can be revoked by the Federal Constitutional Court due to the violation of fundamental rights.

The disenfranchisement from voting is btw. also the foundation that makes one ineligible to be elected.

According to the Federal Election Act, anyone who has German citizenship and is of legal age on the day of the election is electable. This does not apply to those who:

  • have lost the right to vote and therefore their eligibility to be elected as a result of a court ruling or no longer have the capacity to hold public office
  • is permanently dependent on a statutory caregiver / guardian
  • or is in a psychiatric hospital due to a conviction

Man, I'd love to see her as a beleaguered ruler struggling with questions of morality in a fantasy show. Just imagine seeing her wrestling with life-or-death decisions concerning hundreds if not thousands of her subjects.

This is it, it's the perfect example of adaptation through sexual selection.

Oh Ukraine absolutely should be allowed to join NATO asap!

But the failure of many EU states to defend the rights of their citizens doesn't mean we should let more people opposed to those rights join the Union. I firmly believe that the EU should be the shining beacon on the hill. That we come together to defend our rights, ensure peace and seek cooperation across the continent, but always, always in the pursuit of the lofty ideals of humanism, the enlightenment and social justice.

I am fighting the right at home, I have no intend to supply them with reinforcements.

If LGBTQ+ people serving to defend Ukraine don't receive better legal standing than they have right now, I would be opposed to letting Ukraine join the EU after the war.

The supposed western values Zelensky claims Ukraine is defending imo. include equal rights for Gender, Romantic and Sexual Minorities (GRSM)

My support during the war though is independent of that. Let Putin eat shit.

In 1919, Benito Mussolini united various groups in the then Kingdom of Italy to form the Fasci di combattimento. During the Biennio rosso (1919-1921), the Black Shirts used targeted terror against striking industrial workers, the Partito Socialista Italiano (PSI) and all opposition. As a result, local and regional anti-fascist groups as well as vigilante groups emerged from 1920 onwards, encompassing the entire political spectrum, from Catholics and liberals to socialists and anarchists.

Emphasis by me

In 1921, Mussolini transformed his militia movement into the National Fascist Party. The first armed anti-fascist organization came into being in 1921 with the Arditi del Popolo. It was open to anarchists, communists, social democrats, Christians and bourgeois republicans. However, the leadership of the PSI and the Partito Comunista Italiano (PCI) rejected the League. It remained limited to a few thousand members and a few cities.[3] This was the first organization with an explicitly anti-fascist self-image. Its supporters referred to themselves as antifascisti[4].

Emphasis by me

Arditi del Popolo

It grouped revolutionary trade-unionists, socialists, communists, anarchists, republicans, anti-capitalists, as well as some former military officers

Composed of Italian anarchists, socialists, and communists, the Arditi del Popolo were not supported by leftist parties (neither by the Italian Socialist Party, PSI, nor by the Communist Party of Italy, PCd'I).

Furthermore, the PCd'I ordered its members to quit the organization because of the presence of non-communists in its ranks.[8] The PCd'I organized by themselves some militant groups (the Squadre comuniste d'azione), but their actions were relatively minor and the party kept a non-violent, legalist strategy.

The Antifaschistische Aktion grew in the soil of the SPD and KPD in Nazi Germany (which themselves where not autoritarians or tankies at the time), but it's roots are older, decidedly anti-authoritarian and open to the entire political spectrum that wanted to fight fascism.

Edit: Antifascism is represented by a red and a black flag. How you could ever think is has anything to do with the authoritarian left when it's roots are so extremely anarchist is beyond me.

UwU, OwO and OwU represent Cute Face. It is used to express various warm, happy, or affectionate feelings, often with an overtone of arousal.

The fourth little pig build it's house out of the skulls of wolves. Which wasn't very stable, but it sure got the message across.

Hmmm, no, that's at least not how I think and feel about it. It's akin to the Trolley Problem for me, where, if my inaction kills/negatively impacts more people than my action, I am morally obligated to take action.

Can you explain to me how voting makes one complicit? And how not voting doesn't make one complicit when the worse of two evils is elected?
