Haha yeah, us Americans did that nearly a century ago!

sad late-stage capitalism noises

Pretty much what's happening here in France. The majority sides with the hard right on a lot of decisions. It's also happening in the EU parliament. We're heading right towards very very hard times.

they could to kill off the socialist left everywhere in Europe?

Yeah, if you put it that way, seems logical. You mean during Franco, Mussolini & Hitler?

But, after the WW 2 it was mainly Stalin that purged the Socio-democrats in (Eastern) Europe. In US there was a purge though.

And in the 60/70's there was a major resurgence of socialist political parties in Europe, afaik. I think that the old political dynamics ideals and politics have changed quite a lot. To me, you have power mongering people, oligarchs or influencers on both side of the political spectrum. I therefore don't take their political ideologies as a grand determination for their character, unless they are extremist ofc. Many polticians also often switch sides depending on the outcome, opportunistic .

I prefer to focus on if and how the power is (ab)used in real life. If the poltician is working for the will & good for the people, or for his own wallet and corruption.

where have i heard this super nifty phrase before???

Exactly, this. It's very worrying

The idiots of Vox literally copy their ideology from the US far right. They are so extremely uncapable of thinking by themselves that they're trying to capitalize on transphobia in a country that is heavily supportive of trans rights:

As if that wasn't enough, the mainstream right-wing party is trying to appeal to them even though their average voter isn't that deranged out of some weird fear that they actually are.

People normally think fascism seizes power undemocratically. And it does. But first there are years of voters saying they want tyrants who will only hurt the bad people, never thinking that it could happen to them.

but didnt you see those Nazi unifoforms 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

moderates are the reason why the extremist right groups exist per martin luther king's explanation: https://letterfromjail.com/

tldr: I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Middle class suffers slightly: "let's start blaming minorities, immigrants, gay people, and start removing human rights for them."

I don't fully agree with absolving the blame on the people for this because the middle class struggles. It takes a real idiot to fall for the same traps that people fell for back in the two world wars, how fucking hard is it to connect the dots?

If the world comes to shit again, I'll feel no sympathy for them, because despite their obviously poor education, they are bad at being humans as well. The one thing that the far-right loves more than anything is dividing people and creating "bad guys" in order to redirect the hatred and pain of the people, but when all the other "bad guys" are killed off / locked up/ slaved, then only they will remain to take up the role.

well ce trist dont think

There really needs to be a worldwide epidemiological study on how Murdoch's empire has shifted global politics to the right.

The titles not being validated is not discrimination, there is a process for that. There is an standarization with education in Europe and just accepting any title would be troubleshome.

Would you elaborate?

That stinks, I know, but there are no alternatives...

There's always an alternative to fascism, and it's always better.

I don't know the specifics of Spain politics much, just that there are specifics like Catalonia and Gibraltar on top of the rest.

Meanwhile everywhere in the world the left parties are failling at the same time media are taken by hard right activist. Propaganda works at full force, and liberals (in south Europe that's center right) are siding hard with the fascists to decrease the influence of the left.

Left is not without its own failings. Ironically the fights for societal freedom and ecology are quite liberal in their execution and not very inclusive. Many people are left behind with climate change and the fight for women and sexual rights is frontal and basically tell people to agree or gtfo. Well, they do gtfo then to the other side that talk to poor people: fascists.

Except if you happen to be in one of the minorities they are targeting.

Here is a quote that will probably go over your head, but I'll post it regardless in the hopes that you're better than the rest of the far-right voters:

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

that left wing parties failed to manage the situation in the latest years (inflation, pandemics, etc.)

I can't say much about Spanish politics. But tbh, I'm not sure how to compare. But the pandemic and the inflation are world phenomena. Not saying they couldn't have been better managed in Spain ( or elsewhere), but here they say the same about our Gvement and they were right- centre.

Literally every source I've looked at says it's a far right party. GTFO with your bullshit.
