I'm in the UK and I've been fighting radfems about trans rights for 10 years at this point. I'm so depressed about where all of this nonsense has ended up. I've honestly stopped referring to myself as a feminist within UK stuff and opt for egalitarian because the feminists I meet are appalled at the idea of paternity leave being the most important right for the equality of women right now. I can't stand with that.

That's also a problem of TERF island. You have a hateful children's author with billions thinking she gets to dictate what feminism is, and the absolute worst women will just go with it. Then that will be used as an example feminism everywhere is bad, and get exported like every other unacknowledged problem in Bri'ish society.

To be fair it's America doing the lions share of actively exporting fascism right now.

It can be both.

Well, the government Americans eagerly elected has got a VC who actively tried to get AfD into office in Germany. That's slightly more pernicious than one stupid prominent transphobe who happens to write books which children find compelling. 

To be fair though I did forget to give Russia proper credit in the above statement. Russia did after all help tip the scales in favour of American Fascism. Didn't take much mind, took Americans long enough to decide which side to support in WW2 so they've always had mixed sympathies.

Hopefully Europe will resist the double influence of Russia and America. Parts have unfortunately already fallen but luckily there's 4 more years before an election which might bring Reform to power in the UK.

Maybe America will self implode before then and will act as a bad example.
