The one is politics, the other is religion. I bet you are one of those thinking islam wants political control? So how can you mix your religion into politics?
And I am catholic, I agree something is there, we don't have a clue what it is. See I am admitting the artist formerly known as god exists. But the Satan thing is, just as the god aspect a matter of human nature.
If you mix those all hell breaks loose. The domination part, the thing in our nature which makes us love hierarchies, roots in the same area as religion. Democracy in its finest form is the attempt to equalise this hierarchy.
If you believe in God than you know religious experiences are emotional, not rational.
Do you see where this is leading to?

They do. While I agree we should maybe learn to relinquish, I love coffee. The thing is if I buy fair trade or cheap is already a political decision and influencing someone else's life.

Right, because an uncontrolled free market is so awesome it made it possible for fukushima rice to be sold to brits without their knowledge.

What? Reread what I said before and maybe look up what compromise means.
Sorry, but it gets exhausting to talk to you.
You make a statement, then I point out why you're wrong and suddenly that's not what you meant. And I bet if I ask you what do you think who is behind that fist you come up with the elite, Nazis or any other superstition to assure yourself the world isn't chaotic and uncontrolled.
In which areas are you close to an atheist? The whole point of being an atheist is seeing that humans invent myths to stop thinking for themselves. Ideologies are always just contemporary explanations for one area in live, if you feel powerless you need someone oppressing you. That's the myth. You, me, millions of others, all want the same thing, a save home, something to thrive for, a community giving us appreciation and we create the opposite. With our every day decisions and our emotional intentions.
I repeat for you what Sarah Wagenknecht said, someone who could have a say, if we make the right choice and participate instead of feeling neglected and as a "slave", we could have a Europe where we hold referendums for all important decisions.

Is that still a thing - having nukes?
How does that make companies or industries feel more secure and capable of creating jobs?
really, I don't understand the false feeling of "being protected by nukes" makes a country.. more powerful. In which way? Military? Don't think so. The nukes would only be used in the apocalyptic kind of scenarios.
