it's not material conditions, don't be silly.... every single thing that's wrong is Russia's fault.
If only general plan ost succeeded, there would be no need for holocaust

The one bathroom I'd rather not stay clean
Liberal: I have a plan to defeat fascism
The plan: Operation Barbarossa
I'm sure destroying Russia won't just cause another migrant crisis that'll further empower the far right. That's never happened with the other countries we've destroyed.
99% of everyone else will disappear too
far-left populism
Hey babe, wake up. New theory just dropped.
they said "smh if communism is so good then why isn't there a communism 2" so we delivered.
The reason the far right is making gains in Europe is because the proxy war with Russia is creating the material conditions for fascism. Therefore, if they magically "obliterate" the Russian military the conditions creating fascism would disappear. So, he's technically right, except he hasn't actually spent time thinking about how to defeat the Russian military. He probably doesn't actually understand it would require a nuclear war and thinks it could be easily done because they're Asiatic and backwards i.e. "orcs"
Yep, there has been a crazy amount of fearmongering and talk about how Europe must prioritise military spending and consequently deprioritise living conditions, climate goals and personal freedoms. People for some reason believing that quick fuels support for the right.
even if he could bloodlessly snap away all of Russia's military assets, Europe's far right would still be there. the conditions already existed and already strengthened them. and 99% of the conditions are just fear of immigrants, which would increase when Russian citizens flees westward
Fear of immigrants almost always comes materially from economic forces. They're not just becoming spontaneously more racist.
I think you're underestimating how much of the rise of the far right is being caused by the loss of Russian oil and gas and grain and even tourism. The sanctions put pressure on prices and employment all across the European economy; cutting off their nose to spite their face. The conditions are created by the fear of competition for limited energy and resources, and conquering Russia would end the sanctions and open up their defeated neighbor for superexploitation and the extraction of superprofits.
It's all a fantasy, of course. Russia will not become an imperial conquest that they can loot to alleviate poor economic conditions.
Reaching QAnon levels of analysis
Gotta love the "LL.M" in their title..
What does it mean?
It's the abbreviation for a Master of Law degree.
Large Language Model, or ChatGPT, a source of misinformation.
Legum . Magister (translated literally Master of the Latin Laws you put the L in there twice to make Law's abbreviation plural)
Liberals on one hand: all the far right parties in Europe are full of Russian and Chinese spies!
Liberals on the other hand: The anti-war leftists are licking Putin's boots!
Liberals: The moderate solution is nuclear war!
the delusional libs on r/france are convinced that with the RN in power they would 1) actually stop supporting the ukraine war (instead of pivoting to align with nato once in power) 2) that this would somehow lead to WW3 (sending french soldiers in ukraine though wouldn't?)
"Defeat fascism with more fascism"
"The way to stop the far-right is to do what the far-right wants to do anyways. Destroy humanity in a nuclear apocalypse for laughs."
Bro, have they even examined Europe? Of course the bourgeoisie continent is going to vote in laws that affirm their own interests as a bourgeoisie society.
People who refuse to carry anything but a hammer will always insist everything is a nail.
Just a reasonable man promoting a reasonable nuclear holocaust
They will disappear because everyone will have died in a nuclear war.
Honestly, a (highly unlikely) Russian defeat is just gonna make me more obnoxious.
Ending all life on Earth is one way of putting an end to populism.
Can't be populists without people!
It's just like when Anakin blew up the droid control ship, all the Russian bots will shut down!
Serg needs to watch something other than Marvel and Disney.
