The video sums it up pretty well. In my opinion, it’s all the sadder that all this even works internationally. I’m from Germany and we’re dealing with the same problem here, with the same right-wing radical rhetoric on social media and all the bogus arguments that go with it: People who think they are entitled to more because of their nationality (or whatever) than they have achieved on their own in their lives. I’m all the more ashamed because, unlike the USA, we have a reasonably functioning social system (so that can’t be an excuse). Just because of that, it should be much more difficult to recruit people for fascist ideas here, but the sad assholes who want to rule the lives of others because it doesn’t conform to their narrow-minded ideas seem all the more prevalent here. It’s enough to make you cry.
Also you’d think people in Germany would remember that time they let a fascist run things and he got tens of millions of people killed killed and the country invaded, occupied, and broken apart.
Yes, I guess this is due to the friendly support of people like Elon Musk, who are probably less concerned with ideology than with expanding their powerbase in an autocratic system - these people don’t care about the “couleur” of any system, the main thing is just even more power. I suppose that’s why modern fascism has this strange love affair with pro-forma communist systems like Russia.

It’s almost like the impetus for these far-right movements is somehow multi-national or something. ;)
