French far-right leader Marine Le Pen and 24 other party officials are accused of having used money intended for European Union parliamentary aides to instead pay staff who worked for the party.

This is what actual fascism looks like.

          But how? I do not understand. You on one side know about these things but at the same time completely lack the understanding why that is and what the means?

          It is like someone who knows all kinds of different satellites but fails to see what a rocket does?

            Because I don’t see much of what I’ve been presented with as either real, or as big of an issue in context. Literally just reading the articles.

            Like Trump somehow managing to rape a consenting woman for a start. It’s so ridiculous.

            Meanwhile, I’m seeing actual fascists completely bypassing democracy by running their opponents through kangaroo courts. Fucking Putin does that, not respectable politicians.

              You need to ban people/parties that want to destroy the government. We do not want another WW2 or Hitler.

                I don’t see the right as being the ones trying to do that. But some of the lefty parties, they’re acting a lot like Hitler or Stalin

                  How are they doing that?

                  Trump or AFD are literally(!) saying and doing what Hitler did.
