It's returned and it's advancing faster than anyone's worst nightmares. It's important to realise that a particular country's outlying factions are not the ones to watch. The overt racist and thugs are discredited and disliked by the upper middle classes which limits their power. For now. Instead pay attention to the narrative of a countries media. In the UK we've had a string of "documentaries" villainising the poor and the problem has slowly creeped its way towards attacking the disabled. A doctor got in a tabloid newspaper complaining that Stephen Hawking works so disabled people should not get benefits. There was leaked documents from the government of a canceled workfair (work for access to benefits, slavery by another name) project that would "house" disabled people in "centers" where they could be "productive". It was a plan for bringing back the workhouse and this time for disabled people. In the UK the media is either supporting the government or ignoring issues it feels it cannot put a positive spin on. It has nothing negative to say which is indicative of the unfolding agenda.

The UK IS swerving right, HARD. It's not doing it with rousing speeches of racial superiority. It's not doing it by overtly attacking a race or creed. It's doing it by normalising bigoted behaviour and thoughts. It's now ok to HATE someone because they're poor: They probably deserve it and no doubt scrounge from the government. It's ok to HATE immigrants: They've been ripping the country off for years and maybe that's why we ran out of money!? It's ok to LAUGH at the disabled: Political correctness has gone mad and they've got it easy. The message being spun constantly is "we have no money and we must work our way out of debt, if you can't work get under the loving bus". In truth the UK is hosed until they reverse austerity just like the rest of Europe. Austerity is what's breeding fascism and, if I may be slightly tinfoil, there is no way the governments of European countries don't know this. They're essentially emulating 1930's Germany and they know it. That they don't care indicates to me that they support a general rightward direction in peoples thinking. They probably don't want a full on fascist uprising but by that point it will be too late.

People like David Cameron are not smart. They possess low cunning and opportunists natures but it would not surprise me at all if they think they can continue to poke the dragon.

Most militaries share more in common with fascistic outlooks than leftist ones. Take a look in GiP and you'll notice it has the biggest concentration of right wing posters left on SA. This is not a coincidence. I would never depend on the Military to save us from fascism. By the time it got to that point they'd of been infiltrated and turned just like the rest of the state.

France is in so we wont go in alone. And we China is kinda territorial. So I honestly do not know if we will wage or not. But I am stocking on supplies like food and water just to be safe.

France's power projection abilities are as hosed as every other European military at this point. They'll run out of munitions within a day.

Are you morons seriously debating with emden, the literal nazi? Really? You didn't get the memo? I mean his custom title is right there, and it's not an exaggeration.

You think people would learn.

No bashing the fash in the bashing the fash room.

As for Japan, wasn't it basically a Korean colony at some really early point in written history?

Man the last 10 pages have been pretty brutal. I'm not yet willing to renounce the possibility that Fascists can't be reasoned with. They recruit from the poorest demographics with the worst futures, poo poo just look at the London riots and see how many of these exists. I have never met a rich, well educated Fascist.

I'm a socialist and I believe it starts with the smaller programs, there's tons of places in this country where troubled youths are able to meet others and feel as part of a group. These are either run by the city they are in or charities by good people. Most youths who come out of these are at least able to function in society and tend to get the worst jobs, but it's something.

We don't have to fight Fascists with violence. We do it by making sure there's no reason to be a Fascist.

The problem is if the fascists ever decide to make poo poo get real we'll all be dead before we can take the kid gloves off. That's the problem here. The fascists are the active faction. They initiate and they escalate. You're talking about using peace to combat them in the time that THEY'VE given you.

"Extreme pro Israel" She says Jews are Frenchmen (probably lying there), opposes new settlements, and supports a Palestinian state. I think you are getting her confused with Wilders. If there is one thing I have noticed about the radical right in Europe, there is no concrete ideology behind them, besides hating Muslims.

They all seem to like Putin. I guess it's because he's a big man in charge and commands tanks and poo poo.

How does your posting relate to it?

Not sure how you can hold national postal services above national health services.

Doesn't matter how retarded we are in Europe. We still have socialised health care. It can suck sometimes but beats letting the poor die of the loving flu.
