EU far-right parties rally in Madrid behind slogan 'Make Europe Great Again'

And the "rest of the world is devastated from the war, so there is no competition anywhere".

Europe is basically a long history of wave after wave of immigration.
So is the US, and it's even more recent. Don't seek logic in it.

Yeah, look in the Kremlin.

Actually, Europe has been, and still is, great. Of course, there's always room for improvement, but not with the nazis. They are super backwards.

Yeah, mixing with those filthy homo sapiens was a bad idea...
-
You're right, I mixed it up!

“Fascism used to be really disliked, but now people have forgotten what was so awful about it. And that’s great for us.”

I don't know much about the history of anti-Semitism in Europe (so anyone feel free to correct me or add more info), but what I've been thinking is that the cause/origin of anti-Semitism is no different from the anti-immigrant panic from today. They both come down to people from a "foreign" or at least different culture coming into a society and getting jobs or opening business. It just so happens that now those foreign people are more diverse, whereas before (centuries ago in Europe) they were mostly Jewish.
This tells me we have learned nothing from our past except for the most surface level details. We learned that anti-Semitism is bad and beat people over the head with it, but we never properly addressed the roots of it, and so now the same thing is repeating but for different groups of people. It's the same sort of thing as when it is said that "people nowadays are more open minded", when the reality is simply that they were taught to be okay (or not) with certain things; but the bigoted though process has not really gone away.

Obviously this sucks, those asshole fascists can fall off a cliff but holy crap MEGA is a much better acronym than MAGA.

If they were Nazis they would be marching down the street holding swastikas
...wait, fuck

Luigi would suffice. Quicker and cheaper.

Although I think Patriot is such a loaded, dangerous word and would usually doubt there is ever an appropriate time for actual grown-ups to use it, I think I have found one use-case: it would be interesting to form a pan-European collective of actually sane, grown-up, people-before-money leaning Europeans (i.e. not the emotionally stunted, tribalism-fuelled morons obsessed with the accumulation of trinkets and perpetuation of endless persecution sprees in service of their hate/anger/stress-based adrenaline & cortisol addictions), and call that new collective "Actual Patriots for Actual Europe". Then just sit back with popcorn and watch the pompous outrage chain-reaction from the PfE kiddies unfold in realtime.

At the end of the day, Trump won the election, they see that his shit-peddling style brought results, and they're hoping the same thing will happen here. I'd like to think the vast majority of Europeans are too smart to fall for this kinda shit but unfortunately I keep being proven more and more wrong...
