You should readjust your irony detector.

Calling other people’s opinions stupid is rich coming from the country that elected Donald Trump…
Twice…

How is the AFD doing lately?
Photonic@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Well, I’m not the one to ask, they’re not in my country. But they are not even close to having 50% of votes, nor have they ever provided a chancellor in Germany

Neither did hitler.

The Far Right is rising EVERYWHERE. Before criticizing America, they should realize that we’re just the canary in the coalmine, and they should take care of their own countries, because THEY are next. They should be rooting for the Left to take back America, because that’s what they have to do in their own countries, too.
Besides, wishing for America’s demise is stupid. The economies of every country in the world is tied directly or indirectly to the American economy. If America truly collapses, it will bring down the entire world. Like it or not, it’s the TRUTH.

And that’s undeniably a bad thing. And since US will never allow anything else as long as they’re perceived as strong, maybe their collapse will be the only path forward.
The same was said about EU and Russia before the war started, “everyone” was saying that EU depends on Russian oil so much, the second Russia stops selling, EU economy will collapse. And when it finally happened, it turned out to be a nothingburger.
It’s possible that this incredible American dependence is also a bunch of empty bolstering.

My far right wants free health care, free dental, HBTQIA+ rights and higher pensions.

They’re cool with gay people existing, but think marriage certification should be allowed to be denied on a case by case basis. They also hate foreigners and trans people.

I’m not endorsing SD, I fucking hate then. I’m just saying that there’s a world of difference between the far right in many European countries, compared to the far right in the USA.

Sure they do.

Why the everloving fuck wouldn’t they? Sweden’s far right is wayyyyy left of the DNC.

For now. They’ll say anything to get elected, then they’ll enact their bullshit plans.

They say they do (except the LGBTQ+ part, I don’t really see that) , but they actually don’t. They make wild promises (with no plans), only to then “realise” that it’s harder than they though.
They just say that to make them more palatable and undermine actual left wing parties. The amount of times I’ve heard from far-right voters in my country that the difference between their far right party and the socialist party is really small and that they are “economically pretty left”, is insane.

The suck, I’m just saying the Overton window in much of Europe isn’t really comparable to the discourse in the USA. It would be instant suicide for them to even appear as though they want to limit free health care, abortion or gay rights.
They got rid of a really competent (not praise from me, just an assessment) top politician over her resistance against the right to free abortions. That’s where Sweden’s far right is.

The US economy is directly tied to imperialism and massive exploitation of other nations. And we both know that’s not gonna change under any Democratic leadership.
You can’t just go back to the way things were because it worked for you.

We must form an international popular front that includes dissidents of nations that have fallen to the far right such as the US, Russia, and until recently Hungary.
