...moving from the UK to Spain. The last 6 years have felt like a process of slowly healing from that toxic culture. I wonder if that focus on money above all else is why Anglo countries seem very vulnerable to the far right now?

I thought about this a lot when the Assad regime fell. You had lads who ten years ago maybe we're bakers or builders, ended up as soldiers fighting that regime, and then had to do basic policing! All with minimal training. Difference being the population I guess were happy to see them πŸ™‚

Nothing has changed at the Times since the 30s. You were on the wrong side then, and you're on the wrong side now.

He just hangs out with guys doing Nazi salutes for shits and giggles yeah? Just a big coincidence right? Top level analysis there Patrick πŸ™„πŸ™„

Danish intel put the threat soonerπŸ‘‡ Many tend to forget that the scenario case is not Russia vs all of Europe's armies combined. It's 20 000 trained Russian drone pilots against one army. There is not one single army in Europe, inkluding the US and the UK, that can stop this. Only Ukraine.

*watching Pedro SΓ‘nchez secure his 27th term after the right got 49% with a culture war campaign claiming the woke left is going to ban Iberico ham, but PSOE signed C+S with a party that officially support armed struggle but will settle for improved rail service, tears in my eyes* it’s so perfect

Yep, it's going to be very weird when Canadian conservatives are saying "look at the all these illegals flooding across the border!" 🀣🀣

Mate, I'm very worried about friends in the US, lots of old colleagues. Also a little bit angry for them for not getting out when I begged them to πŸ˜• Grim isn't it? So grateful we live in free countries with good leaders πŸ™

The problem here is that we ALL saw the Nazi salutes. So are we saying these guys are doing Nazi salutes, but they're not Nazis? Does that wash? Maybe yes, maybe no. I am still trying to work this out. My view sometimes changes in one day! It's not easy stuff...

Wonderful moments yesterday, Pat, as my 6 yr old daughter and I practised piano. She's been learning classic at school. Eyes opened soon wide as I explained that when we play Jazz there are NO wrong notes πŸ™‚πŸ™‚

Soboroff: "How did you find out that the president of the United States was going to usurp your authority and deploy your national guard here in California?" Newsom: "I got a call from a staffer."

I.e. as soon as anyone admits 'these people have Nazi ideology' then there is a moral obligation to start removing them from society, but European elites won't allow that politically (because they've always been on the boundary of hard right / fascism themselves)?
comment in response to post
Is there any real difference between the 'modern radical right' and the old Nazis? Are people not using the word 'Nazi' because it's loaded with a lot of historical baggage, or is it because once we accept there are Nazis, we're morally obliged to do things that everyone is too scared to do?
