  • It’s not that simple. I’m from Spain and the case with our own far-right party is different. They’ve lost momentum gradually, through multiple figureheads leaving or being kicked out, with the main guy still standing, but the scandals and the lack of actual policies proposed have definitely hurt them. The problem is that those who vote for them are exactly the ones who used to vote for the traditionally ‘moderate’ conservative party. Same as in France. So it’s just a constant voter dance between the two parties. The actual number of right-wing voters hasn’t changed much.

    One can only hope that disenfranchisement as you call it (I call it chronic planned distraction) will eventually lead to some form of working-class rebellion, as it tends to happen historically.

    But this will definitely hurt the European far-right. Le Pen was one of their main bastions and believe it or not, those types are not so easily replaceable. People lose interest quickly and they’ll tire of the ‘this was all a politically motivated complot’ rhetoric. I’ve seen the same happen in my country. In fact, the right lost the last general election because they were so sure they were going to win, their campaign sucked.














  • Ah, right. So if I don’t like Zelenskyy and Trump, it MUST be because I like Putin. No other option possible. Such genious, complex geostrategical thinking!

    If I point out what is criticizable about Zelenskyy, it must be because I want to justify what Putin has done. That indeed does sound like propaganda, come to think of it.

    There is more in the world than black and white, love. And certainly in international politics. You’re the one spouting exactly the same heroic nonsense as the EU. I’m trying to tell you there is more to this conflict than that infantile “good guys” and “bad guys” viewpoint.

    But whatever, suit yourself.
