El_Marsh 07/19/25 9:44:35 PM #9:	Well that's pretty cool. Mind you, his most famous work is about a very diverse group of characters operating as outlaws in SE Asia after the fall of the USSR, so it's not too surprising that he'd be a bit more open-minded about anti-discrimination than many of his peers but it's still notable that he spoke so candidly about it in a time where those who choose to discriminate are exercising more radical displays of power. --- https://i.imgur.com/RPUuSll.gifv <cite>El_Marsh posted [p:985825469] in Black Lago...

CARRRNE_ASADA 07/22/25 8:59:04 AM #21:	I love his take. He recognizes his humanity, that we're not perfect and that sometimes hate can get the best of us, but that ultimately your actions are what define you as racist or not.

They went from 1 to 17 of 248 seats (I am combining the two far right parties). This is notable because only 125 seats were up for election. They got about 10% of the seats up for election and about 17% of the vote.
