Perhaps the bigger news is that far right in Germany is on track to become the biggest political bloc in the country.
Russia, China and the Republicans have been propping European far right parties for the past x decades, and now the recessions and the wars are generating easy support for the populists
Lol @ "ban on Nazis"
Russia doesn't care about Nazis.
Italy and Ukraine are on the receiving side of the propping. Israel is a good mention but probably a lesser participant than the big three (the US does most of the dirty work for them).
In addition to supporting culturally reactionary and discriminatory governments, the far right fawns over the totalitarian strong-man geopolitics.
And as it is known, it's convenient for Russia to build fascist-aligned support in their targets to have a casus belli for their internal audience. All while following fascist doctrines themselves
Putin is a literal Nazi supporter using nazi politics to enact nazi policies while calling others nazis.
It is hilarious that people are falliing for this.
You actually think this makes a point of some kind? Putin oppresses political movements; he absolutely supports the ideology of them, just not in opposition to his authority.
Wow. Imagine holding up a christofascist oppressor as a beacon of hope and freedom 😂😂😂😂😂
