There is an international fascist movement. It is not quite accurate to call it Putinism, but that’s a start. It keeps showing up like a pathogenic fungus in different countries, but often with the same poisonous doctrines:
- Your country is great because of your ethnic group.
- There are some Rejects From Elsewhere who keep wanting to get into your country to steal the stuff that your ethnic group has made.
- There is a Great Leader who is willing to speak the Forbidden Truths about your ethnic group’s awesomeness.
- The Deep State Woke Eurocrats hate your ethnic group and your Great Leader because you’re awesome. They want to help the Rejects From Elsewhere take away your awesomeness.
- Also they’re gay, and Jewish, and maybe even Californian.
- The Great Leader’s Party should get to do unconstitutional things in order to beat the Deep State Woke Eurocrats; because if they don’t win, your ethnic group will be oppressed by the Rejects From Elsewhere.
- Let’s take a moment to smash the queers. Smash them in Italy, smash them in Florida, smash them in Poland. It’s really, really important to smash the queers. If you want to follow the Great Leader into reclaiming your country’s awesomeness, you MUST pause to smash the queers.
- By the way, the Great Leader is specifically allowed to destroy the court system, just to make sure that the queers and the Deep State Woke Eurocrats don’t get to hand your whole country to the Rejects From Elsewhere.
Sounds just like the US with TX and FL as the epicenter.
Yep. Also Israel and plenty of other places. Netanyahu wants to be Putin and his country doesn’t want to let him, and he’s pissed.
I don’t consider myself old but the resurgence of open fascism is the scariest thing I’ve seen politically in my life.
Personally what fucks me up is that if my 20s hadn’t gone so well, I could have been an alt-right shit-sprayer.
Pretty spot-on, but the cult of personality thing is also cropping everywhere. No real ideals, just a personality, which also happens to be super right-wing.
I’m not one of those ‘America is great’ types as I know we have problems, but we can be great as a unifier of the world. All the Trump garbage is a sign that it is working because those against it are whining about it.
America is already fucking awesome and does not need to be downgraded to merely “great”.
Why is the fleagle sneezing? Did it inhale some swastikas?
Just freedom seeds, being dispersed to the nearest oil field.
Texas spelled inside-out is “At Sex”.
Strap-on spelled backwards in no-parts.

“right wing” in Europe is “center left” in America.
Hard disagree. Right-wing Central Europeans are also still doing the same shit the right-wing Americans are doing and tolerating (if not supporting in some cases) white nationalist groups and agendas.
Center-left in America is the currently elected Democratic party for the most part.
