If it did exist (and it doesn't), it would be an excessive cause of government spending. Money that could otherwise be used to pay for other services like health or pension spending, or subsidize (read as: "cut taxes on") necessary stuff like food or petrol.

I think their argument per se does make sense, it's just the initial assumption that is flawed.

Hi, thanks for the lenghty explanation. Sorry, I should have been clearer in my reply, I am aware of what the confederacy was, historically. My concern was more about what they meant when saying that the GOP might have wanted to return to that. I do know a thing or two about American politics, but I just don't recall ever hearing about them having similar stances.

Make no mistake, I am not defending the Republicans here. From my point of view they are definitely the worst of the two parties and some of their policies are downright evil (including but not limited to: privatizations, opposing welfare, opposing national healthcare, opposing public transport...).

My entire point in this was just saying: I don't think they are as bad, evil, dangerous or even criminal as the neo nazi parties currently running in Germany, in particular the topic of discussion, NPD.

Pretty ironic, lol.

Can you elaborate on the "the GOP wants to return to the confederacy" thing? As you can probably tell I am not American, don't really follow your politics that much. Referencing anything in particular? I don't think I've ever heard of it.

Anyway, I feel like you have kinda overlooked my last point, where NPD is openly claiming areas in the borders of their neighbours. That's a pretty big deal, coming from a neo nazi party in the country that started WW2. And I don't recall reading about the GOP having similar policies.

I haven't actually bothered looking at what AfD stands for (obvious disclaimer: I'm not German, I'm allowed to not care lol)

Just wanted to make it even more clear that this party wasn't the one causing the people in Berlin to storm the streets.

EDIT: I tried opening your article, and aside from the language barrier, which my browser extensions were able to overcome, it looks paywalled.

Props to OP for making it clear in the post body, but the headline made it a bit more clickbate-y than it should have been. That article is about NPD, a very minor and actual neo nazi party. The anti-right protests that have been happening recently, instead, are about the AfD (alternative for Germany) party, which is set to gain a sizeable 23% of the votes for its far right coalition ID during the next European elections.

In other words yeah they are cutting funds from a far right party, but not from the far right party.

Seeing as I am already Italian I suppose I will pick Chinese.

Also I guess I'm going to be that guy. "La vida es bella" is not Italian, it's Spanish lol.

The world needs more cat posters. Thank you for your service, OP

Based Bernie. Even the wording "attack on Yemen" is a bit misleading, everyone including the Yemeni govt hates the Houtis.

Spero che il tuo capo sia stato l'ultimo a ridere, al momento della fattura. Magari anche con qualche extra o straordinario per aver saltato la pausa pranzo.

I think it'd be a pretty dick DM move. I'd hate it. Gear comes and goes, but when I was a player I'd spend entire weeks planning how I would minmax my builds over the next levels. Getting sent back to square one on that would feel terrible. I get that you've only just started your campaign, so maybe your players aren't that attached to their characters, but my players would probably still scream at me if I tried to pull something similar on them.
