Thanks for posting this

Btw, with the current unrest in France, has anyone seen Athena?

The final scene doesn't count btw, I assume it's just the producers/director getting cold feet or something

It's about time.

Well, it went up to "groups rushing into shopping centers to loot stores in the middle of the afternoon" and "ramming a car into the house of a mayor in the middle of the night to set it on fire" but last night was actually fairly calm. The 45000 riot cops out in force probably helped.

Multiple EU countries have had literal fascist parties with members elected to parliament over the past couple of decades. Most of them heavily funded by Russian money for what it's worth, not that they needed the help. Some pictures of Azov totenkopfs aren't going to tip the scales there in any way.

If you mean that an ongoing war is causing people to be afraid and therefore seek comfort in nazi politics then yeah, that's no surprise. But again, we hardly needed that war, the media were using scary migrants for the same purpose for quite some time already.

idk about elsewhere but in slovenia some right wing parties were financed by putin's oligarch circle. no official word from kremlin, but you know. right wing media was also funded through orban's buddy monies, much of which also has the same origins

there were even some very funny meltdowns about it a couple years ago when someone hosed up and a big sum of money moved through bosnia directly into a party's bank account, which is insanely illegal lol

incidentally, around that time ukraine was having its presidential election, and the right wingers were going completely batshit with calling big Z a putin puppet because he wanted peace

euro rightoids are a profoundly stupid bunch

Yes, but the international acceptance of fascist parties changed significantly. When the ÖVP entered a coalition with the FPÖ in 2000, Austria was sanctioned by the EU, bilateral relations by all EU states and a few others were reduced to the absolute minimum. Compare that to the reactions to the fascist government in Italy today.

Also, Heider would be a lovable dork by today’s standards. The current crop of european fascists gives me the creeps, they seem to be ready to reopen the camps, and they have possible majority support for that now.

Came up in a TG thread about Starship Troopers; boggle-eyed ranting dictators are optional for fascism, brutal public displays of 'law and order' are not. Liberals slurp up fearmongering and dogwhistles easily and see the fascists as their knights in shining armour.

I think the most important difference is Austria is not in a position to help drown a bunch of brown people more than anything tbh. Also fash is less scary when it's not German speakers for some reason.

ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

twenty years ago the establishment right saw the right-wing populist parties as a threat to be quashed under "no party to the right of us"-logic similar to social-democratic anti-communism. nowadays it's difficult to imagine a right-wing government without at least the support of the right-wing populist tendencies. since the establishment right runs the EU and has done so since iirc at least the nineties, their preferences are strongly felt through the Union

Too bad fascists aren't deterred by being called fascists, unlike the would-be communists that were pointed out as such in all but name by social democrats, effectively serving the extreme right. Anti-communism horse shoe fish hook

https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-faces-e30-billion-budget-cut-leading-to-infighting-in-ruling-coalition/

quote:

Germany faces €31 billion budget cut, triggering coalition infighting
Politicians blame each other as historic spending cuts hit areas including health, childcare and education.

Ballooning public debt from the coronavirus pandemic and the energy crisis triggered by Russia's war in Ukraine meant that drastic cuts were now unavoidable, Finance Minister Christian Lindner said. He insisted the country would return to stricter fiscal policies that respect the country's constitutionally enshrined debt brake that limits spending.

"We are only at the beginning of the fiscal turnaround," Lindner said. "We need to free the state from debt without burdening people and businesses with more taxes."

Declining tax income and data last month showing that Germany has fallen into recession have further reduced Lindner's room for maneuver. The cuts will affect all government ministries except those of defense and labor and welfare.

The plans have already led to fierce rows between politicians from the three-party ruling coalition of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democrats (SPD), the Greens and Lindner's Free Democratic Party (FDP).

Scholz came out fighting on Wednesday. "The budget is of course challenged by the fact that many have become accustomed in recent years to the large spending," he told lawmakers in Berlin. But "we will now again draw up budgets that do not attempt to combat crises with these additional credit-financed funds, but that are geared very specifically to the future of our country.”
wow powerful words from the chancellor

quote:

The Greens are particularly upset about budget cuts imposed on Family Minister Lisa Paus, which they say are responsible for the government having to cut back on Germany's generous allowance that permits couples to take up to 14 months of parental leave.

Other areas affected by severe spending cuts include education, which will reduce the government's ability to finance student funds, and transport, meaning that Berlin can provide less money for renovating the country's ailing railway network.

Germany's defense budget will be spared from cuts next year and will increase slightly from €50 billion to nearly €52 billion. However, that increase is forecast to cover only the increased costs due to inflation and it won't be sufficient to pay for urgently needed investments to boost Germany's military capabilities amid Russia's war in Ukraine and Scholz's proclaimed shift in foreign and defense policy, the Zeitenwende.

Rydman resigned from the NCP last summer and joined the Finns Party at the beginning of this year.

His NCP departure happened after Helsingin Sanomat alleged that he had harassed young women. The National Bureau of Investigation opened a preliminary probe into the allegations, which found that the suspected offence took place in 2015 and that the alleged victim was not underage at the time.


Victim wasn't underage (at the time) so it's OK. :)
