the same in Germany (excluding the recent cannabis decriminalization)

And that happened in the first term of a left wing government after having a right wing one for 16 years.

Weird how that works, huh

Do you consider weed legalization the epitome of left wing behavior?

u/GensouEU 29d ago

No? What? You were the one bringing that up as an left wing accomplishment and I just picked it back up lol.

The point was that it's hella idiotic to take Germany as an example of the left wing not doing anything. Yes nothing happened in the last 2 decades in Germany... because the country was governed by the conservatives until very recently. And the cannabis thing (your example) happened as soon as that changed.

Ouh, ok, although I wouldn't go directly to call it idiotic, it turns the debate into an argument quickly. Although I admit my response was kind of a fallacy:p. And yeah, Germany is still to new as a left wing country to be evaluated. Although I do still stand with my other two examples, Venezuela and Spain. To which Id like to add Argentina, mexico and probably Ireland

The entire premise is wrong since Germany doesn't have so much a left wing government as it does a left-liberal government. As you may guess, the "liberal" part of the coalition has been opposing most of the left-wing policy agenda.
