I agree the inequality (and what Marx called 'Verelendung') has a lot to do with it. But why are people turning to fascism instead of to the tax-the-rich parties? That takes pushing.

Yes, remarkable. And while the "darkies are raping our women" doesn't work ss well in the rest of Europe, the extreme right is rising rapidly absolutely everywhere.

I probably sound paranoid, but I think this is being choreographed.

Whenever I tell people I envy their energy, they say they have ADHD 🤣

... and Murdoch hasn't even bought any big media channels in The Netherlands... who is feeding them these lies, and why do people believe them?

The antisemites on the extreme right are chomping at the bit 😨

Macron and Sarkozy. So, the right thinks Macron is Jewish too? (He isn't.)

And yes, they do. Look at this gem. "... who French President Emmanuel Macron really is. In it, we will show you the proof that Emmanuel Macron has abundant Jewish ancestry..." tricentennial.us/2020/05/09/e...

This is happening globally. And in keeping with the extreme right-wing's method to accuse the other side of their crimes: I think there is a worldwide cabal working on it. Mega-rich pedophiles want more money and fewer rules.

Which immediately suggests the unlikeable things about him: he didn't lift a finger to stop Russia and Israel from doing the evil he carefully avoided.

Trump is a nightmare, but Biden was far from perfect. Quite aside from his refusal to go.

Aside from everything else, he used his gun to smash a window? With the safety off?

Words fail me.

Okee, um. Stuur de politie om die documenten in beslag te nemen?

I think Trump will bankrupt American farmers so he can seize their land. And now I wonder if he and his global billionaire cabal have similar plans for Argentina.

Gunst, alleen de 3 linkse partijen doorstaan de toets. Wat een toeval nou toch weer.

Carla Kuiken @carlak.bsky.social · 22h

It now turns out that... only 11 of the 12 parties have unconstitutional plans!

Well that's a giant U-turn! (not)
