among many other things, nigel farage happened to the people.

they’d make the democrats an actual harm-reduction choice. it wouldnt make them good.
BDS israel for start. maybe invite russia to one of these “peace” conferences they keep having.
maybe 2 if i could legally vote in the US, but probably 3. as it is, definitely 3.
1 is right out, i aint voting for either demented genocider.
biden is better at fascism because the democrats stop trying to obstruct fascism when it’s one of theirs doing it.
ah yeah, the choice between an administration that uh, genocides palestinians and uh, passes extremely racist border control laws, and another administration that does the same thing. dont forget to
after the end of the Tory rule.
what end? labour is just red tories, tory rule aint gonna end cos you elect keith…
the process is blessed.
the process has lead to a genocide.
trust the process.
what on earth are you talking about, every high school had a KISZ secretary, this doesnt make orban a highly placed young communist. but, yes, he was always an ambitious man who believed in nothing. i dont know why you’re telling me this, i know.
No, the Western system is not perfect, it has big, glaring issues,
the western system has committed the most genocides of any power in history. it’s not even close, it’s like an order of magnitude more at least. this is the system you’re calling flawed but ultimately good.
and bringing up china (which lifted hundreds of millions of out poverty in the last few decades alone, but sure, the leaders are only in it for money) in the same breath as modern russia… deeply unserious.
also, is xi jinping a billionaire? source?
are you familiar with the concept of time? all our so called democratic opposition grew out of communist families. what else would they be? the country was communist. doesnt change the fact that they did a counterrevolution.
also, orban a highly placed young communist? what? he was part of the “democratic” (read counterrevolutionary, liberal) opposition from early on, kept in contact with polish anticommunists, etc. or do you mean that he joined the young communist league at his high school when he was 14? highly placed indeed.
and yes, because it was a counterrevolution at a special time in history, it wasnt visibly violent and so many of our politicians got to keep their jobs in the new system. all they had to do was betray the people, which they did. some happily, some because they believed western propaganda.
1956 was a much more complex affair than you paint it here. some of the revolt wanted independent communism (how they imagined that’d work with the west coming for them, i have no idea). some were rabid fascists out for blood. either way, the soviets didnt trust them, likely because this is a country that was enthusiastically supporting the nazis just a few short years before. having seen where the country’s gone since the counterrevolution, i dont blame them.
yeah, definitely nothing to do with living standards falling in the west due decades of psychopatic neoliberal policies. deffo not what’s making mask off fascism popular again. the always thriving domestic fascist industry also has nothing to do with it.
hungary is doing its own weird shit as usual, being fascist and trying to ride two horses at once. this isnt because of russian funding, it’s because hungary is predisposed to this type of idiocy. and also the failure of post-counterrevolution neoliberal politics.
as for authoritarianism, that’s a funny thing to say in the middle mass arrests of people who protest a genocide that biden is actively supporting and running interference for. but i guess that’s not authoritarianism to you. out of interest, what do you think authoritarianism is?
beyond parody. an article outlining how the US supports fascists, but you gotta somehow make it about russia/china bad.
but yeah, it’s gotta be external funding from somewhere, because 1) europeans do not think at all so all ideas are just suggested to them from outside and 2) the complete failure of neoliberalism, combined with decades of anticommunist brainwashing certainly cant explain why people dissatisfied with the failing system are choosing fascism.
what’s unsustainable about taking lots of government money and pocketing it?
oh, you thought tesla’s business model had something to do with selling cars? what do you think this is, 1924?
may the last embrace of the mother welcome you home
keith sturmer, leader of the red tories
the worms arent entirely rigid, they’re made of armored segments. and what’s wrong with moving while being straight? lots of snakes do that.
cornfields in a panic!
they’ll come surging back for another 16 years after the red tories have a 4 year turn in which they fail to improve anything and are a little bit more restrained about their transphobia than the tories, thus alienating all the frothing transphobes.
they joined the nazi party, mate. they went and did it. it’s not like someone drove by and threw a membership book at them and boom, they were now nazis. they went and deliberately joined the most racist party.
