Care to explain or do you simply call anyone you disagree with for fascists? Words matter, so stop pushing this "baaaah everyone in government are fascists". It is incorrect and honestly tiring to hear (speaking to a relatively large group of lemmies who always throw the Nazi or fascist card when that disagree on politics).
If you have been around enough, you will start to notice patterns. Like, when a politician starts compromising their supposed ideals (lefties voting right), there's a good chance they have been bought out. This is what the USA has been doing for years, before they went full fascist. And Europe has been having a right-wing shift over time. EU is supposed to protect human rights. When you take into account that the EU rarely does anything to actually enforce their supposed values (The Gaza Genocide is condemned, but little is actually done about it), you start to realize that it is all theatre, and that they are working against our interests.
They are clearly going down the authoritarian path, stripping us of our privacy, and autonomy more and more, so they can do as they please with us when the time comes. It's obvious that they have certain groups of people they can't stand, and want gone.
So, you are going to ask what all this has to do with it, play dumb, and sea lion, so I'm just going to block you now.
I was interested in your perspective. You are free to have your own opinions. You blocking me doesn't really help your case. Runs well with you calling people you disagree with for fascists. Disagree with me and you stop the conversation because I disagree. Great mindset to have a democratic debate - something I would think that you would be interested in, qua your views. Guess not.
