Modern-day fascists are desperate to distance themselves from the nazis, despite the fact that the nazis are literally their idols.

Oh, the capitalists didn't do what their public relations exercises pretended they were going to do? Golly gee... no one could have seen that coming at all.

Musk is doing more to make people realize how garbage capitalism is than Marx ever could.

Tell me you're attracted to men without telling me you're attracted to men.

Crikey... did you see this one?

Oh, look... rich boomers are blaming gen z for the disaster that rich boomers created. Ho hum.

I’m not addicted but it does help me get through my day.

Yeah... you're addicted.

Sorry... just for the record - why was there a Russian war reporter in Ukraine again? Could it perhaps have anything to do with that war Russia caused in Ukraine? Someone please jog my memory for me.

So... just more western-backed genocidal settler-colonialism.

So it's just "we can't abolish slavery because it will hurt all the poor slave-owners" but modernized.

I learnt meritocracy is a joke long before I discovered that it was literally invented to be a joke.

Uuuuh... as far as I'm aware, Russia has already been using cluster munitions in Ukraine. They used cluster munitions in Chechnya and Syria as well - and lots of them.

The US used them extensively in Iraq and Afghanistan, too... but that's okay, because those people don't "look like us" (apparently).

It's kind of weird that people are only now making a big fuss about them.

The US has been waging unprovoked war on Latin America since before WW1.

The only thing new about this is that this irredeemable piece of garbage is stating the quiet part out loud.

which has taken a sharp conservative turn

Wht the fuck do they still call these fascists "conservative"?

Anti-LGBT protesters

Is that the "politically correct" term for fascists these days?

It's halfway to a swastika.

I’m sure he would rather put them on trains. And still wouldn’t see the hypocrisy.

Funny you mention that... one of the things that barely gets any mention in history books is how enthusiastically Europe's police forces collaborated with the Holocaust - the Vichy police literally rounded up Jewish people by the thousand to send off to the death camps without the Nazis even asking them to do so.

It's almost like the institution of police was invented to act as a distillery for the worst right-wing goons that the people at the top can sicc on anyone that the status quo has painted as a threat and/or scapegoat.

I stopped telling myself that twenty years ago... at one point or the other, even I couldn't believe it any more.

Ooooh... did the article forget to mention Meloni is a rabid fascist?

Must have just been an oversight on their part, right?

In general, any multimillionaire that gets off of a serious charge doesn’t mean they’re innocent.

Don't forget the flip-side of that - the prisons are full of poor people who do not deserve to be there. It's almost as if the system was designed to be like this...
