Somehow this country is excluded from it:

    Not always the defining factor (see East Germany) but it definitely amplifies the existing class hatred

              Europe is a vestigial organ of amerikkka, all their political opinions that don’t arise out of some petty medieval ethnic feud are imported directly from us. We tell them to fuck their economies by cutting Russian gas, they do it.

            they’re the orcs and aren’t really white you see

            Is there anything about the orcs being dark-skinned? You might be mixing up orcs with the Haradrim. Sometimes orcs are portrayed as green. ‘Authoritarian’ is a propaganda-term used chiefly about Stalin and Hitler; they’re the type-examples. It might sometimes be used for black-skinned people like Mugabe or the Duvaliers, but less commonly; it’s normally a term liberals use for the Soviet bloc and the fascists. They have other propaganda-terms for their dark-skinned rivals.

              Nah, authoritarian is basically a term for any system of governance that’s different from western liberal capitalism originating in Europe. Russia has never been seen as truly European in the west, this is basically what the whole untermensch narrative nazis embraced is based on. In the Nazi racial hierarchy, being “white” or “Aryan” was not a given for all Europeans. Instead, an internal hierarchy existed where Nordic peoples were at the top, and Slavs were placed at the bottom, akin to non-European races. And these are the values Europeans very much embrace to this day.

    Maybe to most Conservative westerners. I’m always a little puzzled about why people around the world seem to think American = Redneck Republican. At least that’s what comes through on social media. But I guess it’s only fair, since we think French = Snotty Waiters, Australian = Crocodile Dundee, etc.

      The issue is that there are also many “progressives” who are like this, ex: supporting the kidnapping of the president of Venezuela or the invasion of Iran. Just because someone might be less bigoted to queer people or immigrants it doesn’t mean they’re any less imperialist, unfortunately. And this isn’t just a problem over there of course, I know too many people from my country who side with our comprador elite rather than workers like them.

      Trusted source vs Propaganda outlet
      Media regulation vs State censorship
      Rule of law vs Human rights violations

      We should really document this language.
