This fight does not follow international borders. It's a global fascist network, they are coordinating with each other, and the resistance to it must also be global and coordinated.
@alexwild I recommend Carney's speech, he brings the situation to the point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btqHDhO4h10

Dear Europe,
I know you're having a tremendous time yelling at Americans, and fair enough for that, but get your houses in order because what happened in the United States is being orchestrated in your countries, and it may prevail as long as you let this sort of thing grow.
I absolutely agree, they are following the same playbook, buying news media, bribing politicians and lying to the people.
(German here, and I am *appalled* at what is happening everywhere.)

@alexwild The AfD and TPUSA almost certainly are two sides of the same virtual racist christofascist organization

It's almost as if countries and nationalism are designed to divide the vast majority with common interests, to make them easier to rule by a global oligarchy.

The most terrifying thing is seeing theoretical left wing parties (socialists, for example) taking a no immigration stance, for fear of losing votes.
There is no way I am voting to xenophobic party ever.
And I don't think I am the only one.
I have no close ties with any immigrants, it is only a matter of integrity and basic human rights for me. I cannot imagine what can people who does be thinking now.
Some politicians have shit for brains.

True. And it's largely funded by the US as well... -

I can't tell you enough how the "look at what those dumb Americans did to themselves" blinds you from what is happening to all the established institutions, and sends you down the path to further disintegration.

@alexwild In every western country.
This is an international attack of unprecedented scale and funding.

The AfD is full of neonazis, I don't think that christianity plays a big role there? Germany is more secular than the USA.

@alexwild Don’t think for a second we’re unaware of the consequences of having a neonazi party setting the agenda in a weak government

@alexwild It shouldn't blind, but it does. "It couldn't happen to me" is standard defence reaction. The systems work similarly all over the world. Some countries have built better safeguards, but they might not be enough. All this hate is so sad. And predictable.

@alexwild I mean, we are aware and worried, trust me.
But to be clear, a lot of the rise of the far right in Europe is a US export. The 2008/09 financial crisis was caused there. Even the EU migrant crisis has causal ties to US imperialism in the middle east. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube come from the US. Trumpism is being actively imported here. And now, the US has made it official foreign policy to undermine European democracy.
Divesting from the US is part of getting our house in order.

Honestly, the global right wing is a cancer within humanity.

@alexwild No one is saying that the US has a monopoly on racism, but we strive to have a better society for everyone, as difficult as that might be.
And as a catalan believe me when I say I've seen and gone through some discrimination, but never to those extremes.

@alexwild In Winston Churchill's history of the years prior to WWII, he bemoans over and over again how Europe could have kept Germany free and peaceful, if only they hadn't taken up the policy of repeatedly capitulating to a madman.
Why am I reading this now? No reason...

@Merovius Yes, divesting from the U.S., and sanctioning our officials, are definitely part of getting your house in order.
A lot of the fascism is coming from the United States. But there is huge interchange among the U.S. and the British and Hungarian fascists in particular. It's not entirely one-way, and it isn't clear to me the coup in the U.S. would have worked without the international assist.

@alexwild Correct. The anti-migrant psychosis brewing across much of Europe and the world, which was triggered by neoliberal policies designed to squeeze as much wealth as possible from society, is just one manifestation of the massive problem we are facing. Sweden specifically has a long history of racism, which they are in denial of but any search engine will confirm, Denmark too and the UK. Add into this mix the algos and you get what we are seeing in the US today or Myanmar some years ago.

@alexwild we know, but it's the same as at your place. Most do not care enough.
