Online extremism makes sense, and targeting the vulnerable makes sense, I’m more curious about the specific growth by numbers versus the numbers before, as far as we have them.

I’ll look into it.

So many socially progressive policies grow more popular according to general population polls, I can’t help but feel like the loud and proud conservatives are making it seem like there are more than their actually are.

Even in Europe, before Trump was a twinkle in he conservative eye, there were plenty of alt-right movements, they just weren’t socially acceptable.

I was in a tiny town in Austria one week and the bar patrons were complaining about some local fascist event/gathering that they were all embarrassed about, or so I was told.

Are they? I haven’t read many articles about their recruitment numbers.

I feel like they’ve been steadily crawling out from under rocks, but I don’t know if the base itself is growing.

I remember them copying the truck convoys and other dumb American stunts.

The fascists were already there, they’re just not hiding anymore.

I’m of the same mind, it’ll either take decades of hindsight or a major medical emergency for any sort of rational dialogue to resume.

Kyle is a cool guy.

How bizarre that an Australian politician is getting his panties in a twist over American politics.

I’m aware of the cultural absorption by other countries of American culture, but it really seems subordinate and pandering of politicians from other countries to emotionally invest themselves in American issues.

Almost as bad as the pandering, subservient American politicians themselves.

Yea, he’s definitely a nominal 'pub, but can’t be conservative since he changes his political will constantly.

Twermp is liberally fascist.

Any strategy that will allow him to wield authoritarian power is worthy of pursuit for him.

Trump is in favor of Russia annexing Ukraine.

Peace this does not make.

It’s good you’re making the move, I hope things work out up north.

I had the same situation with some family. Rabbit hole.

They’re not over it yet.
