    Nah, your denial of the obvious hurts the goal of fighting fascism. You completely ignore all other arguments and just repeat your own.

    Foreign bad-faith, authoritarian actors are using -sometimes legitimate- critique of Western democracies - but not to improve the situation, but rather to worsen it and promote their own cause. You are echoing their totalitarian narratives. When China’s foreign minister declares that China will not allow Russia to be defeated in its war in Ukraine, as he has done a few weeks ago, then he directly threatens European security once again. There is strong evidence.

    This is not about ‘blaming foreigners’ but a brutal reality. We need more democracy, not less. More equity, not less.

    But I have good news for you: if you really think Russia and China is so much better, why not move there? It’s up to you.

      so much bad faith dude

      suggesting to move to China or Russia? Because I really think they are so much better? You’re just pulling this out of your ass and you know it. I am criticising my home because it’s turning fascist and you’re suggesting I move to China, fuck you.

      And because we’re talking fighting fascism: what’s your plan? I’ve never seen you fight fascist narratives here, you only keep on gesturing towards the outside threat. Are you gonna go there and fight European fascism over there, or how does it work? Wouldn’t it be easier to fight those narratives here (no matter where they are coming from), so people don’t fall for it in the first place?
