These far-right groups in Europe are being funded and supported by the USA and Russia. If Europeans want their own sovereignty they must not fall for this fake nationalism that is backed by foreign fascist countries. Fighting fascism is necessary to preserve not only your own freedom but also your country’s independence.
This is what Steve Bannon does as his day job (as well as drink heavily).
Trying not to fall for it on a moral and idealist level isn’t enough. The far-right groups are gaining momentum because they’re offering more prosperity to the people of their respective countries than the status quo. The foreign funding provides fuel to their ability to operate but their promise is what gets them real numbers. This promise is not going to be fulfilled long term since it doesn’t address the real problems. But that won’t stop people from trying it. There’s a very real possibility that their message will still gain overwhelming support even if the foreign funding is cut (which should absolutely be cut). People are entirely capable of funding popular political movements themselves. Not to mention domestic corporate interests coming onboard. This is why I think the real medicine is a material alternative for increased prosperity beyond the status quo. Increasing the retirement age to pay for tax cuts in the age of automation is the opposite of that.
Yes please, Group all the assholes together, it will make it easier to prosecute them later.
What’s going on is global. It’s not about nations anymore. Humanity is already owned from beyond nations and the nations are just tools for them.
I don’t understand how people aren’t committing suicide more often. It’s like humanity is figuratively commiting suicide though.
it’s because people have hope and you can’t spread love or hope when dead. it’s what keeps people going.
Imagine looking at what’s going on in the US and thinking “We should copy that”
Apparently large chunks of the electorate in many European countries, the UK, Canada, etc. see it exactly this way. I find it really hard to understand given how obviously miserable life is in any fascist country.
Remind me what continent Germany was on in the 1940’s? Don’t let me catch any of you Europeans saying “it can’t happen here.”
Dear rest of the world - these people are your terrorists. Stomp them out before you become a shit hole like the USA. Please
Edit: grammar
But the European right has prior art in the domain. Surely they know their histor… Oh. 😂
It’s much older. Fascism comes from Fasces. The Roman civilisation thrived with it.
The fasces, as a bundle of rods with an axe, was a grouping of all the equipment needed to inflict corporal or capital punishment. In ancient Rome, the bundle was a material symbol of a Roman magistrate’s full civil and military power, known as imperium. They were carried in a procession with a magistrate by lictors, who carried the fasces and, at times, used the birch rods as punishment to enforce obedience with magisterial commands.
=> i.e later the Blackshirts, Brownshirts, mafia, ICE etc.
All Mussolini, Hitler (and in a similar fashion Stalin & Mao) plus many many others did was copy paste this concept. It’s in our DNA That’s why it’s so dangerous.
if its in our dna we need a healthier outlet, maybe consensual bdsm
