  • How do you see the dems stopping the rise of fascism? Not asking in bad faith, it's just that the things you describe are happening under a democratic president.

    The sentencing of these proud boys truly is a good thing, don't get me wrong (but we must also add that their convictions only came after threatening the state, not the threatening of marginalized people). The rise of fascism however isn't stopped with this ruling. The conditions that foster it aren't adressed.

    What do you think the democrats should do after an electoral victory in 2024 to achieve this?

  • Made a comment replying to someone arguing in bad faith (they were claiming pics of Ukrainian far right marches were actually Wagner in disguise lmao) a while back, edited out parts directed at them. Hope you find these Interesting.

    Interesting last part of linked article:

    Acknowledging that reality does not turn the Kiev government into a nest of fascists, as Kremlin propaganda has claimed, nor does it absolve Russia of its assault on Ukraine’s sovereignty and illegal seizure of Crimea. Ignoring Ukraine’s far right, on the other hand, can have dire consequences for the very dream of a free and democratic country which so many Ukrainians have fought, suffered, and died for.

    Next link is an article by The Guardian. It includes a collection of pictures, too.

    Another one by The Guardian:

    Next article is by Reuters. The article opens with the following paragraphe:

    As Ukraine’s struggle against Russia and its proxies continues, Kiev must also contend with a growing problem behind the front lines: far-right vigilantes who are willing to use intimidation and even violence to advance their agendas, and who often do so with the tacit approval of law enforcement agencies.

  • They did say saudis bad tho, we should give the same nuance we expect from others. I don't suppose the commenter you're replying to supports Saudi arabia, it's just odd that the nuance they're seemingly willing to grant the saudis wont be given to Russia
