Keir Starmer will go down in History as a supporter of XXI century Nazis and their Holocaust.

Next to Starmer doing anything and everything in the service of ultra-racist Fascists actively committing a Genocide that’s becoming a modern version of the Holocaust, Chamberlain just looks like somebody who made a minor mistake.

The Democrat Party in the US is not anti-Fascism as their support for Zionism and plenty of other Fascist ideologie abroad as well as their unwillingness to stand fast against Trump shows.

The situation in the US is akin to a decades long one-two tactic being played by two of the same team (team Oligarch) on their way to score for them and against everybody else, which has NOTHING AT ALL to do with anything in Europe, except for what’s going on in Britain.

His is entirelly a “some of you might suffer and I’m willing to make that sacrifice” perspective, and he and his family have surelly made more than enough money frontrunning his proclamations to cover any costs he has from higher fuel price rises, so he is alright.

I’m wondering if the final collapse of an Empire being triggered by going into a war they cannot win which accelerates their Economic and social collapse, to serve the wishes of a much, much smaller country, is actually Historically unique.

Sure, getting some populist leader who then proceeds to mismanage everything and ends up doing some stupid shit with massive consequences that final torpedoes the once imperial nation down, is pretty common in History, but doing said “stupid shit” to serve the interests of a much smaller and weaker nation might actually make this unique.

Doubling down on stupid doesn’t make it more likely that others will follow, not even America’s poodle.

My point isn’t that there isn’t a Far Right in Europe or that it’s small, it’s that most of the Far Right dog-whistles from America don’t work in Europe.

Present day Europeans rarelly care about all the “God talk”, they don’t overly care about Homosexuality or Transsexuality and they certainly don’t think America is a Great Nation.

Absolutelly, the anti-immigration discourse goes down really well here (in fact, it’s the core of the Far-Right ideology in Europe), but beyond that what exactly is the part of the American Far-Right discourse which would make Europeans be more interested in that side of politics beyond what the Far-Right discourse of the local politicians already does.

IMHO, the biggest impact of America on the Far-Right in Europe is the money they give to the Far Right in Europe rather than an ideological foundation.

Recent polls showed support from more than 70% of Israelis for what Israel was doing in Gaza.

Also open Islamophobia and Racism against Palestinians and Arabs in general is widepread in Israel, including almost all of their Press.

They’re a White Jewish Supremacist state (as can be seen by their treatment of Black Jews who moved there from Ethiopia) with many decades of continuous indoctrination about how superior they are to everybody else (including White Christians, by the way) and how the people whose land they’re stealing are inferior, violent and even “vermin”.

Unlike NAZIs in Germany, Zionists in Israel weren’t stopped in the 1940s, so unlike the former this ethno-Fascist ideology has continued indoctrinating the population since the 40s and their “Western values”, unlike in Europe and even the US, are still mainly the white colonialism of the end of the 19th century.

By this point Israel needs the equivalent of the denazification done in NAZI Germany, only better done, or to disintegrate as a nation with the entire territory of Palestine becoming a multi-cultural multi-faith nation in its own right.

I’ve lived in a couple of countries in Europe and in my experience the American style of Far Right doesn’t really go down well around here, not even in Britain (though that seems to be changing with all the transphobia popping up over there nowadays).

Certainly American Nationalism isn’t welcome and the (pseudo-)religious crap doesn’t land well here either nowadays (it’s funny how in the XXI century the US is the closest to a Theocracy of all Western nations whilst in the rest religiouness has been seriously dampened by Universal Education).

Only the anti-immigration talk goes does well with supporters of the local Far-Right around here.

Further, I suspect that the side-effects of America’s and Israel’s attack on Iran are switching people of from Islamophobia - except perhaps in the UK the local Press just isn’t anywhere as unified in using Manufacturing Consent techniques to spin America and Israel as the good guys fighting the evil “Regime” in Iran, so people seem to be blaming America and Israel for all this shit rather than Iran.

Last but no least, there’s not really any MAGA over here, so from hearing and seeing him talk on TV people have an almost universal opinion of Trump as a disgusting liar because he’s constantly and very obviously contradicting himself and his body language just shouts sleazy asshole and for people without the mindset of constantly coming up with excuses for him of the True Believer, Trump just looks like a slimy shity loudmoth.

First things, first: Congratulations to all Hungarians!

As for the rest of Europe, does this mean the other Russian agent, Fico, won’t have anybody covering his back in the EU anymore?

What’s next: America blowing up its own bases in the Middle East? Killing its own soldiers? Crashing its own planes?

He would me more successful in trying to proclaiming reality into being if he said he was considering getting a pony.

“If you’re not one of us, you must be one of ‘them’”

What I mean is that the actual POLICIES of that party when in government are at best sprinkled with social democrat concepts, and that’s only in certain years when the party is led by the center-left faction. As far as I know the PSOE hasn’t been controlled by the Leftwing faction since the days just after the fall of Fascism in Spain.

I’m actually in Portugal and am a member of a small leftwing party here and am well aware that amongst members there is quite a range of political positions. However the actual ideas pushed by the party publicly are but a subset of that range, one which mainly matches the ideas of the faction which has the most seats amongst the “national board” and which controls the leadership and most parliamentary seats. In fact the party has recently collapsed in votes because (IMHO) the dominant faction are middle-class posh boys and girls with no life experience who had no strategy or vision for the Future of the country and weren’t really trying to be a leftwing party for all Portuguese but in practice only for people like them, so amongst other things they did a lot of parroting of shit they found on Twitter from New Labour in Britain and the Democrats in the US, which are actually rightwing so they were all identity politics whilst ignoring broader impoverishment in the country and not noticing obvious phenomenons like a massive realestate bubble killing the chances of any young people who don’t have a “bank of mommy and daddy” to back them.

(As you might have deduced, I’m not aligned with the views of that faction).

“It couldn’t possibly be the fault of Americans, it must be the fault of foreigners.”

– Both American Fascists and American NeoLiberals

In Spain, like in Portugal, the name of a party and their actual ideology are two entirelly different things, maybe because in both countries the modern day parties only formed in the 70s when the Fascist dictatorships in those countries were overthrown and replaced by Democracy.

Anyways, the PSOE is at best Social Democrat (in a good year, in a bad year it’s mild neoliberal, so center-right).

I’m not so sure the US was a proper ally of Europe (there has long been overt talk in the US about Europe as a competitor and a lot of effort from US sources to try and weaken the EU with for example funding campaigning for Brexit) but I do believe that before Trump the US was an ally of Ukraine.

The simplest explanation is that the US in not an ally of Ukraine (or Europe).

“Striking Hezbollah” is the new “Hamas tunnels” and just like for the last one the Press in many places (most notably the UK and US) is purposefully using that messaging.

This is why in this article in The Guardian (which has a long track record of Consent Manufacturing and cheerleading for Israel) the subtitle they use is:

‘Largest coordinated strike’ against Hezbollah since war began prompts warnings Iran could pull out of ceasefire

rather than

Claimed by Israel ‘Largest coordinated strike against Hezbollah since war began’ prompts warnings Iran could pull out of ceasefire

Yeah, the falacy that over a hundred million of people in the US just suddenly woke up and decided that they wanted their country to be controlled by a derranged multi-millionaire extremelly high on the Narcissist spectrum parroting near-Fascist and outright Fascist ideas, doesn’t hold up to even the most cursory logical analysis.

Only tribalist supporters of the “other party”, who thus desperatelly want to believe their tribal chiefs are not at all to blame in any way form or shape for America going down the path that led to a double Trump victory, will cherry pick and twist “evidence”, and be very selective in the logical explanations they’re willing to consider, to create logically-sounding (for the unthinking) theories that exhonerate their own chiefs that are so beyond real Logic that they’re akin to using “Magic” as explanation.

The field from were votes for somebody like Trump were a bountiful harvest has for decades been plowed and fertilized by American politicians and by American billionaires using the Press and Think Tanks their own.
