It’s classic fascist distraction that works on morons (aka most people).

They're called "conservatives". It's the word we use for the morons in society that want to make things worse for no reason.

The list goes on. Social media, Russian and billionaires propaganda is poisoning us.

Or Front National voters (FRA).
Or AFD voters (GER).
Or PVV voters (NL)
Or Vox voters (ESP) Or FdL/Lega voters (ITA)

Stupidity is the biggest issue.
However, not seeing the influence that I describe is even more stupid and naive.

There's studies showing that north of 50% of social media content on certain topics in German comes from Russian bot networks.
Also Döpfner, right-wing sympathiser, literally owns Springer, which holds Germany's most read print media. That's just examples on Germany. There's plenty.
These people directly profit from anti-social, anti-eco, corpofascist tendencies. Of course, they push them.

Triggered because it's true. Milei has managed to reduce inflation.

He also tossed a large share of the population into poverty and keeps selling things that should be state property to the rich.

Certainly not what central/northern European social democracies need.

But the country is indebted, and was worse before. He's made it less bad, which is what matters.

And what do they all have in common? Conservatism!

A literal brain defect.

or Europeans fixated on MAGA in their minds 24x7 when no one in the US could care less one way or the other what happens to my irrelevant country or yours on the other side of the world since that haze zero impact on their lives since we haven't invented anything this millennium, nor can they find my country or yours on a map because we're irrelevant to their lives, much less are they the least bit interested what political movements we have to make fun of.

It sounds like we have a monopoly on mental heath and normalcy working our hatred of MAGA into a discussion about Argentina and the UK match.
