The wave of populism must be acknowledged & harnessed. Authoritarians come in the disguise of populists, but they aren't. Real populism is about the people. And leadership has to rise from the grassroots to overcome the rise of fascism. https://youtube.com/live/9Zk-wacS800?feature=share

What powers has the SK president abused to warrant impeachment? He accuses his parliament/op leader of being NK sympathizers engaged in anti-state activities and slashing the budget to implement his policies. Are you sure you're on the right side of this event?

South Korea, US, Hungary, soon to be France and Canada. We have to stop this somehow.

charlpei.bsky.social•183 days ago

Canada here. We are next. And I don’t think enough Canadians see it 💔.

logicl1.bsky.social•183 days ago

Always has been.

And the assailant is excessive wealth, and the weak men who serve it.

gc133486.bsky.social•183 days ago

Is this the blueprint for our near future?

lavendrlvrny62.bsky.social•181 days ago

It’s sure playing out like it’s all being orchestrated somehow by a group of elites🧐😳😲🫢😑

huffandpuff.bsky.social•183 days ago

Will the South Korean populace stand for this going forward?

saltyblue.bsky.social•183 days ago

Yoon was just discussing a game of golf with Trump yesterday once he’s back in office, was he not?

lalehwalder.bsky.social•183 days ago

And this is just showing the Orange Plague what to do. Buckle up, people! This is what February 2025 might look like.

rosiedirect.bsky.social•183 days ago

Happening right before our eyes....

theshutteredroom.bsky.social•183 days ago

Fucking right wingers!

mgillick1.bsky.social•183 days ago

Good trial run for the U.S. to observe, since that’s most likely going to happen here.

saltyblue.bsky.social•183 days ago

My thoughts too…

jaypeter.bsky.social•183 days ago

The drumbeats of war

alexandria77.bsky.social•183 days ago

It’s spreading and it’s horrific

dockyt.bsky.social•183 days ago

And we will relearn the hard way, fascism can only be defeated one way. You cannot persuade a Nazi.

vickifromdowneast.bsky.social•183 days ago

Unfortunately, Brett the next guy will take a lesson... already seeing it 🤦‍♀️

resist75.bsky.social•183 days ago

Dictatorship is a global disease. Apparently, no one is immune.

pettychocolate.bsky.social•183 days ago

Sound the alarm Brett. All the authoritarians are making a move right now and it's not a coincidence.

saltyblue.bsky.social•183 days ago

Agree!!

nopasaran161.bsky.social•182 days ago

in that case Devan ,
it seems this RW-Loon made his move too soon !!

pettychocolate.bsky.social•182 days ago

For sure or probably made the giant miscalculation that the constituents we're not going to have any of that shit.

nopasaran161.bsky.social•182 days ago

had he succeeded ,
there woulda been a Chilean type
mass round up of opponents !!

pettychocolate.bsky.social•182 days ago

Too bad that big dummy tried to pull a coup where half the population is mandated to have military training 😂

nopasaran161.bsky.social•182 days ago

good point ..

pixielizards.bsky.social•183 days ago

Now you know right now Trumplestilskin is taking notes

starbellystudios.bsky.social•183 days ago

That's the rub: I'm in the US and am waiting for everything to fall apart. Once it does (or even before then) where will we go? It's everywhere.

glenntravels.bsky.social•183 days ago

What is happening in this world, it seems like every political leader wants to be a dictator.

hduffy.bsky.social•183 days ago

Wasn’t Bannon traveling the world looking to disrupt democracies?

glenntravels.bsky.social•183 days ago

I know he traveled around Europe trying to create a right wing super group. But it didn’t take.

hduffy.bsky.social•183 days ago

I recall him going to South America too (don’t remember the country.)

galekrn.bsky.social•183 days ago

And I thought South Korea was the good guys.

adocmartin.bsky.social•183 days ago

Putin is the puppeteer.

gordonvincent.bsky.social•183 days ago

South Korea has a democracy that fights back, instead of abjectly surrendering.

witchypooh.bsky.social•183 days ago

Yes it is a global assault on democracy and the USA is leading it. Central Bank Digital Currency.

partlypeaceful.bsky.social•183 days ago

Yep

talmonis.bsky.social•183 days ago

Yep. The Russians just won the Cold War.

justmet.bsky.social•183 days ago

It’s like every country is on edge! There’s anxiety and insecurity everywhere party because America is in a free fall and it’s showing 😔

lovewinshateloses.bsky.social•183 days ago

You got that right. All because of brainwashed gullibles following the devil

justmet.bsky.social•183 days ago

*partly*
@bsky.app please give us an edit button!!!!!🤦‍♀️

sweetcaroline62.bsky.social•183 days ago

Yes it is. It was obvious. Trump really highlighted that his love for dictatorship was of great influence. Democrats fell behind the 8 ball and the last shot sunk the game. Time to rack the balls and take another shot. The game is far from over.

msjacobs.bsky.social•183 days ago

Could this kind of response to a dictator-like move happen here?
I fear the democrats’ tendency towards circular firing squads might make it unlikely…

katstruth.bsky.social•183 days ago

Following the GOP and Trump's lead!

escarietson.bsky.social•183 days ago

If not a signal that World War III is coming...

edgarbrown.bsky.social•183 days ago

It's like wet ar all awash in some kind of media manipulation or something. It's a social phenomena of some sort....

pinkhatchronicles.bsky.social•183 days ago

It’s like September 11 when the first plane hit we thought it was an accident.

pinkhatchronicles.bsky.social•183 days ago

This is not a coincidence it’s a global plan to take over through governments wake up America Donald didn’t won

sirhcwarrior.bsky.social•183 days ago

yeah, i just saw this. concerning. :(

joekerrr.bsky.social•183 days ago

We should throw these terrorist dictators out of office. We can start with the orange Nazi in Florida.

bellison22.bsky.social•183 days ago

They fought the rightwing and stopped him.
I envy their power to rise against tyranny

charlpei.bsky.social•183 days ago

I keep saying this. Canada here 🇨🇦

gigitiger50.bsky.social•183 days ago

😮😮😮

ethicsshouldmatter.bsky.social•181 days ago

For some reason I suddenly hate being ahead of the curve

lossieseadog.bsky.social•183 days ago

I hate sounding like a conspiracy nut but authoritarian states are clearly meddling with democratic countries which are now becoming fewer. The attack on freedom and the lurch to fascism is unrelenting.

realbiscuitspaw.bsky.social•183 days ago

The entire world is falling apart.

lillydoryclaire.bsky.social•183 days ago

Seriously…are we all finished? What can come next?

jer1190.bsky.social•183 days ago

World War III, a second US Civil War or both at this point.

jc614-meidasmighty.bsky.social•182 days ago

Most likely both.

Europe is in preparation mode.

Pay attention.

Watch your surroundings.

Following.

nopasaran161.bsky.social•182 days ago

capitalism is in a crises ,
so it seems to me the oligarchs /billionaire class
openly seem to think they can run the show without democracy !!

knightmare2025.bsky.social•182 days ago

Wow that coming from a huge grifter herself. What happened?

shadowops.bsky.social•183 days ago

well my card is below, care to add to it?

makelovenotwar.bsky.social•183 days ago

The fourth turning is here

alan408.bsky.social•183 days ago

OMG he’s a Trump!

meri13fromnola.bsky.social•179 days ago

This is NORTH Korea...........Not one of our allies.

He's saluting one of their officers, while desecrating Arlington.

It figures

SK parliament BLOCKS martial law order

whimsicalwoman.bsky.social•183 days ago

It’s been the master plan all along.

mcerrone28.bsky.social•183 days ago

Not good

melb6658.bsky.social•183 days ago

I've noticed a lot of that going around in countries I thought were as secure as ours, apparently I was wrong in thinking ours was secure

daveys-gaming.bsky.social•183 days ago

Chris Norlund provides some solid insight. Perhaps a bit of a preview of the coming four years of Big Trump.

meidasromi.bsky.social•181 days ago

In Romania too, presidential
Election season. One of the two finalist is a far-right candidate that is pro-putin, anti-NATo, antiEu, anti-Schengen. The big final this Sunday!

hecate66.bsky.social•183 days ago

And we’re on the wrong side now.
