It’s been reported that in the German elections, a far right party has made ‘significant gains’.

In the UK (at least before the scandals) Reform UK seems to have had a significant boost and has even surpassed the right-wing Conservative Party in some polls/predictions.

Even France, one or two years ago, was threatened with a far-right government due to the French far right party gaining a lot of support.

It feels like in the last few years, the far-right has exceeded itself and had a surge in popularity. Is this the case? And if so, wtf is fuelling it?

How are they committing genocide against the Donbass, whose people are ethnic Russians?

Do you even hear yourself?

The Ukraine War has seen the lowest civilian death rate than any major conflict in modern history.

Israel's ACTUAL genocide is the exact opposite.

If anything, Kiev is enacting genocide against ethnic Russian men by pushing them into a meat grinder of one million+. They dress like old ladies in public. They drown in rivers trying to escape this fascist death cult.

Just let people vote, FFS. Fuck off.

Everyone has propaganda. Mine just happens to be true and yours is bullshit that you can't even explain. You just spout meaningless catchphrases you heard somewhere. The word itself didn't originally have false connotations until Americans made it a pejorative. We are that brainwashed with the delusion of American Exceptionalism.

Everyone else has propaganda, while we have totally real truthy feels.👍
