"If he's that worried about it and wets himself like a little child, then he is unworthy and will never lead France," Bannon said.

You know, it's not a productive thing to insult the guys you want to get on your side. Rookie mistake.

American nazis are too nazi for French nazis

[–] [email protected] 49 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Not too Nazi for Russian Nazis. Actually, the more Nazi the US gets, the better diplomatic relations between the US and Russia get.

Fuck Russia. They are nothing special any more. I remember when they used to be scary, but they can't beat Ukraine. Bunch of fucking losers. The govt I mean. I have no issue with Russian people. Except the ones that support their govt. but I don't even like Americans who support my govt.

being friends with russia now is like being friends with a washed up former star athlete thats days consist of only drinking and passing out in their own vomit.

Why is Nazi in quotes?

Reuters has no balls

They're quoting Bardella directly, which kinda makes sense for the headline, but yeah, I haven't seen any mayor English media sources that are willing to call a cat a cat here.

Might be worried about libel suits? Though I can't see an unbiased court deny that those are Hitler salutes.

Wow, we're losing allies left and right... Ok predominantly Left, but I can't really blame them.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Bardella is far-right. Trump is just further right.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, Americans don't seem to get that. Biden and the Dems we'd consider right as well, just not anywhere near as extreme as the Republican Party, which seems to be the most right-wing party of any democracy in the world.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

the Republican Party, which seems to be the most right-wing party of any democracy in the world.

Good news: that's no longer the case.

Bad news: it isn't because the Republican Party got less right-wing; it's because the United States is no longer a democracy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

I don't think the republican party has been a democratic party for a few decades now. Every aspect of the democratic system is one they undermine
