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

“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.
-
Wait. What? We're finally great, struggling to hold on, now MEGA wants to destroy it because they think world War 2 Germany was nice? We need more asylums.

If they were Nazis they would be marching down the street holding swastikas
...wait, fuck
-
Was thinking more about the African countries that are still the victims of Eurpean economic colonialism
-
MEGA? Really? Who the fuck looks at what Trump does and says "Yes, more of this please?"
I mean besides the voting public in 2024 after getting amnesia about Covid

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...

While it’s true, this argument should not being used to defend people who don’t even consider Africa people as "real" human.
In fact, it’s probably the same people (few generations earlier but with the same mindset) who jumped on boat to create the slave routes, kill people for lands and ressources... You know the people that don’t consider we are all the same.
-
Everytime I see the word Patriot, in my head it gets autoreplaced with the word Nazi. I don't know why.
-
It's not defending conservatives. It's pointing out that European exceptionally comes at the detriment of others which creates many negative opinions of the continent as a whole.
You don't get to claim Europe is already great when their entire way of life is propped on colonization and exploitation on the global south. Whether or not it's only conservatives that don't see them as ppl is debatable considering liberal and conservative alike have exploited African for centuries and actually never stopped.
-
This is ironic. Most far wingers are xenophobic. That is because the very fundamental of these right wingers is "my race, my tribe, my group is better / deserves better than the other groups." This is so ironic on so many levels. The extreme and the far right will forever be the heretics and outcast of today, modern and future world of humanity.
-
In mine, it's corrected to "Idiot".
Rhymes better, but meaning is simillar -
As if breaking up the EU would somehow make individual countries in it (even the mid-sized ones in a global sense like France or Germany) be better capable of defending their interests against the likes of the US, China or even India and Russia.
By their own criteria, these people are traitors to their countries and I'm pretty certain that's because they sold themselves to foreign interests (for example the Portuguese one has had his party subsidized by Brazilian Christian sects).

MEAFWKMA.
Nah. Not going to work.

Patridiot

Europeans, take a hint from the Canadians: be patriotic by making a big deal about not bending the knee to Trump undermines the far right and exposes them to public scorn. Make fascists be the traitors again.

Look at the MEGA morons. Can't believe it's cone to this
