I’m sorry for the third comment.
In Italy, unlike in the US, you don’t need 51% of the votes to lead. Your system is: the winner takes it all, unlike here.
The system is completely different.
The right wing party in Italy “only”got 26% in 2022 and was still the strongest block, with the help of other, less right wing parties it was able to build a government.
About my wish for Europe not to be burned to the ground.
The Germans tried. I didn’t participate of course because I wasn’t alive yet at that time for many years. ( and for the first 12 years in my life I was Polish)
They failed. And they were already in the middle of Europe.
So I guess it’s very hard.
Please don’t. And always think, you want Apia alive so she can keep writing those comments ( God I hope those comments will save me and Europe too)
I was thinking about your being born in Poland when Rod said that about Germany. He walked straight into a huge white people beef with that one!
Yes, that’s true. Luckily I don’t even know what I consider myself to be, definitely more German, because I Iive my live here, but in my first 12 years I was told that the Germans were evil and tried to kill us ( like in Polish people) so that’s complicating the issue.
To be safe I am pro not burning anything to the ground for no reason, no matter who you are.
About my friend with mental illness:
I also sometimes thought we can’t be friends maybe. I like her, and we do have fun together and a long past. And of course it’s complicated again. When we talk it’s 90-95% about her problems, always.
We have seen each other yesterday and it was overall good but in the first hour she annoyed me a lot with her self obsession.
I got yelled at when I said I understood her at a situation because she said her situation is so serious, I couldnt understand her and no one could.
I told her that i try to be emphatic and never will be able to have the same experience and I wouldn’t want it. So what can I do if we talk, how can we communicate?
She apologized and said she realized her frustration wasn’t about me.
Good,
But maybe you see the challenge in being friends with someone who isn’t well.
What complicates it, she regularly says that one of her biggest fears is that I wouldn’t want to be friends with her anymore, because I’m a big constant in her life and a force for good.
Some people might say that I shouldn’t care about that but I can’t.
We had times when we didn’t have much contact and I thought maybe we are doing the fade out, but she always makes the effort after some time to reconnect.
