In not saying their exactly the same as American fraternities. In fact, I don’t even know what American fraternities are like. I’m just describing how fraternities function in Western Europe. You might not think of them as fraternities, but they fall under the definition of a fraternity.
They are elite associations of university students that are very hard to get into, have extreme hazing practices (every so often someone dies during these rituals) and as I said, 70% of politicians at least in my country are proud ‘alumni’ of these associations. They shape our political climate to an extreme degree.
It is bizarre to me how you’re attacking me because you think I’m wrong when I’m describing how fraternities shape our political climate and then demanding me for proof instead of explaining how I’m supposedly wrong. You could also just ask for clarification if you’re so curious.

I’m sorry, but if you feel as though being asked questions is an attack, then that’s on you. I’ve explained how I disagree with you. And you were the one who said you didn’t know what to say, why are you mad when I give you suggestions on what would work?
And your argument is: “I haven’t heard of them, so they must not exist”.
The whole purpose of these associations is for their function to be hidden from society, so of course you don’t hear from them if you are not a student here. Maybe interact with my arguments instead of keeping your eyes and ears closed to them and thinking you’re in the right just because.
I’d love to provide you with a nice article that explains everything to you but sadly most media is also owned by frat alumni so it is rare to find any substantial analysis on the political power of these fraternities.

It’s not? You seem to be unwilling to engage with what I write, so why respond?
