  • Multiple factors.

    • Thanks to incessant propaganda, and spineless “democrats” engaging in false “tolerance” towards the intolerant, the entire political spectrum has shifted towards the right a fair bit.
    • The overall decline of journalism
      • Facts are a thing of the past, everything is treated as an opinion. Instead of researching and reporting on facts, it’s way easier to simply parrot opposing “opinions” and pretend it’s balanced reporting.
      • Engagement and attention Outrage driven, mostly ad funded “journalism” where the most outrageous piece generates the most clicks and therefore revenue
      • Shallow click bait journalism will regurgitate every piece of shit that comes out of “social” media, which pioneered outrage driven (and driving) algorithms
      • Corporate media owned by people who think they will profit from and therefore support fascists with outright propaganda
    • The success of the fascists and media circus inducing spineless “democrats” to cater to the extreme right, in order to (typically unsuccessfully, because why vote for a cheap copy if you can have the real deal) fish for votes in the fascist cesspool of hatred shifting the political spectrum even further.
    • The right shift is a self accelerating feedback loop, it normalises views, which were unthinkable to civilised people only a short time ago.

    This unfortunately is a phenomenon that’s pretty global. This time, there is little chance of any outside help against fascists gaining power, because barely any country will be spared from that fate.


  • Why take an instance of violence in a far off country where such violence is a daily occurrence as an example to make a statement against violence? Even more so, why take exactly the example where that violence hit a vile person who not only stood against all values of a modern democratic country, but also has been consistently and repeatedly arguing in favour of much worse cases of that particular kind of violence for all his life?

    What those politicians did, is a disgrace and an offense to not only democracy, but also to basic human decency and common sense.
