I hope you’re right in it not being long. Do you have predictions? Months? Years?

I think it’s time for the French to channel their roots

So all those parties (yellow, grey, blue, indigo) joined together just so the “left” couldn’t form a government? After the election? France is so fucked…

No, you don’t get it, Putin is actually just a closeted communist! It’s all part of his plan to destroy the west and colonize Europe or whatever.

Is he gonna cry?

The leftists did everything we’re told is correct (participating in bourgeoisie elections) and yet they are still not allowed to play. Very interesting…

Estonia is never beating the Nazi allegations. I swear to god every time this country comes up it always has to do with something fascist-adjacent. I feel bad but every time I see the flag it’s like a jump scare at this point (apologies to any Estonian comrades).

Sometimes I feel like my paranoia is warranted…

The right always makes use of an easy scapegoat and people fall for it every time. My question is, what happens when they ban all immigrants and the problems still aren’t solved? Are they still going to blame minorities or will they finally realize what the real issues are? I want to be optimistic and say that people would open their eyes but I think they’d just pivot to the next victim of the day…

Jose Milhazes, I don’t know what his problem is but he’s on my shit list. Every time I see him on SiC I can’t help rolling my eyes and getting angry.

Portugal’s dictatorship was incredibly weird with regard to its relationship with other fascists at the time. The Carnation Revolution was almost a turning point but that got hijacked real quick, plus it’s legacy has been whitewashed (at least from what I could gather on the news coverage of the April 25th celebrations).

Portugal really lives up to “saudade.”

The PCP is in coalition with the sunflower party, right? Is that maybe why they fell? Or did they team up to hopefully regain what they lost? I guess the state of the left in Portugal is the same as everywhere else, which really really sucks.

I stand incredibly corrected! I guess I was too focused on CHEGA as the farthest right that I didn’t realize this winning party was still pretty bad. I don’t see much coverage of the winners on the news I get over here so I honestly didn’t think they were as bad as other far-right parties making waves across Europe.

Portugal does look like its still going through an election phase or something because I’m seeing different parties doing public speeches (a poppy party and the PCP), I have no idea what they say and what’s going on but it seems important.

Banning Russian news outlets and putting people in jail for expressing pro-Russian opinions isn’t fascist?

It wasn’t considered fascist because Russia is (was) considered the big bad villain, so any repercussions against supporters is (was) seen as justifiable. Pushing the whole “Putin = Hitler” thing really warped people’s perspectives…

Germany and Italy… looks like the gang is making a comeback 😬

I know Portugal had their election back in March and also elected a right wing party, but not nearly as far-right as other European countries.

As ABBA once said “the history book on the shelf is always repeating itself.”

Who the fuck writes like this?

I didn’t realize they were so common considering I rarely ever see it reported on the news, that and I don’t think any attempts have been made on Canadian leaders (that I’m aware of). That’s actually kind of crazy, Lukashenko? Really? The most recent assassination I remembered was the Japanese president.

I saw this news on Twitter and instantly came here to see if anyone made a post about it, of course it was you lol. I mean that as a compliment, by the way.

In any case, I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but considering who Fico is, I wouldn’t be surprised if the west was at fault. Either the US, EU, or Ukraine.

Can I ask why you think that? I’m genuinely curious.
