You know that almost all far right parties in Europe get money from the MAGAts, right?

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah. It's interesting they all working together (despite being nationalistic) sending each other funds, and they all have a very positive view towards Russia.

I'm surprised there people who believe it is all organic.

About a decade ago, Steve Bannon very overtly came to Europe with money from the Koch Foundation openly to "Fund Far-Right parties".

In many places in Europe the rise of the Far-Right happened after that.

Similarly, in Britain it turned out that most of the social media manipulation in favor of Leave was done by Cambridge Analitica, a British company which was being paid to do it by wealthy Americans.

America actively funds the Far-Right in Europe, especially the anti-EU crowd since EU member nations were a lot easier to push around by America and American interests individually, than they are grouped into the EU (even if parts of the EU, such as the EU Commission, have pretty much sold themselves out to large American companies)

They’re doing the same in Australia right now, as well. It’s a full scale assault too. We now have a fucking CPAC, we’re being inundated with MAGA style bots and all this loony, loopy, violent, degenerate leftie socialist shit.

Our politics has gone from being something we thought about and did rationally every few years to being saturated and bludgeoned with this tribal crap every day.

That’s why Murdoch went there…he wasn’t able to do here or in the UK what he could do there, because the fertile ground for it existed.

The fact remains, the US is going to have to find something to rally around to improve their society, even if it isn’t this. They are where they are because they refuse to do anything about their situation, from voting, right through to now probably having to go into peaceful shutdown. They’ll find every excuse around it and expect the rest of us to understand and sympathise, like having to tip because the workers depend on it. It’s like being held hostage in a way; you know the worker will suffer if we don’t pay the tip.

And MAGAts got their money from far right Europeans. What's your point?

[–] greyscale@lemmy.grey.ooo 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Uhhuh sure buddy. Lets pretend its spooky secretive europeans funding the american fascism parties.

That dude you are replying to, is the exact top of the bell curve when it comes to American intellect. He heard/read some things, and because he likes what he hears, he parrots it. He has no logic, he has no deeper understanding. He sees neither the tactical short term problems, nor the strategic long term effects. He is blissfully ignorant. A happy pig in his slop.

His ignorance is equal to your knowledge, in his eyes.

Funded by not Americans.

No being a fucking billionaire South African who can go wherever he wants isn’t an American. There’s multiple of those people, even!
