First Trumps NAZI Party did this to Ukraine, hand over your minerals or else.
Then Venezuela.
Now Greenland.
The third world war is now, only this time the NAZIs are so overwhelmingly powerful that no shots have been fired in defence against their invasion and or coercive stealing of mineral wealth.
The American Reich have invaded their own cities.
Now thanks to the President for peace we sit back and watch Europe play a Nuclear game of chicken.
Yep.
All of that disinformation, the anti vaxxers, the anti science, anti climate change, all the promotion of far right theories, the misogyny, the racism, the bigotry, the homophobia - all patterns of the right, all lies to bring certain people into their fold, and perform the task of "othering" - all those that don't fit under the far right's umbrella.
Happening in real time.
And the same people behind this, bearing in mind there is no one strategy here, just some overall designs that are being enacted that coincide with Russia's aims, and China's aims, are the same people that caused the economic conditions that have led to the huge wealth inequalities around the world, are now the same people purporting to be the saviours.
Sadly, people have fallen for it. It's history rhyming.
The question is, how do we all respond? We all have a moral obligation and a moral choice.
It's fucking scary.
I know who is under the far right umbrella in this forum, and I can guess who is in our parliament too - be warned, New Zealand will follow sadly.
And those same people also were bleating about free speech - turns out it's only their free speech, not the rest of the world.
You can't say we don't have the information and history available to us, unless you choose to believe those who wish to destroy facts, education, science and democratic society.
Scary times indeed.
