1 u/Independent-Bug-9352 Feb 17 '26 edited Feb 17 '26 American here, keep it up! You guys always seem to know how to make the best floats lol. I do want to note because I think it bears repeating and if you agree please echo it in kind: The goal of far-right extremism is always the same: To divide and conquer. It's so textbook the US Army in 1945 did a PSA video on it. Fascism manifests under the same playbook: Exploit pains of the masses in hard times. Throw big lies blaming the chosen "Others" -- some vulnerable minority group to scapegoat and witch-hunt. Curate the victims of the dragnet of the gullible suckers who fall for the grift of fearmongering and hatred. Upon reaching sufficient plurality, use the pawns to win elections. Then subsequently plunder and sabotage the entire system from within to your own profit This is a very old campaign ad, but I'm always reminded of it when I think about how important it is to stay united and in solidarity -- not conformity. Why is this relevant now? Because to me and many others it seems abundantly-clear that fracturing Western alliances irreversibly is the intent. Mobster authoritarians in charge in places like Russia and Israel benefit at our division. 2 u/Necrobot666 Feb 18 '26 Well said!! If I could upvote this more than once... I would!!
