According to former United States general Ben Hodges, the withdrawal of US troops from Europe is only a matter of time. In an interview with SonntagsBlick, he advises Switzerland to prepare for war.

        doing nothing in the face of fascism is delusional bullshit.

        it takes a sheltered westerner to hate leftism that hard.

          I am not a “sheltered westerner”.

          Your world salad about bourgeois elections leading to facaism is complete bullshit and clearly not true, be it in the west or anywhere in the world.

          Fascist/oligarch take over via democratic means is a lot more complex than that and has more to do with local social attitudes and certain qualities of a given political system.

          You have no clue what you are talking about.

            the very withdrawal of troops in the OP we are arguing under is caused by fascism. caused by burgeois elections failing to present any option that didnt point to it.

            oligarchs can take over whenever they want because in capitalism, they are the actual leaders over the puppetshow.

            we are literally witnessing it unfold in real time.

              Oligarchs taking over is a reflection of a given social situation. It’s not a deterministic thing. It happens because of how a lot of people start to think. This is not a physical law of nature. It’s all in our hands.

              Your bourgeois elections word salad is joke. Get real, no one is going to take it seriously outside of internet LARP. You know it yourself, don’t lie!

              I say this as someone who speaks 3 languages, has lived for multiple years in countries in North America, Europe and Asia and has visited about ~30 countries so far.
