      I bet it’s his party too. It’s the same in every EU country: some centre-right party sleepwalked into the disaster while protecting their rich and wealth buddies. Now all of sudden they notice that the US and Russia have been influencing their populations, and they are surprised that the votership they tried so hard to dumb down and control, are being controlled by somebody else.

        As someone whose been keeping a close eye on Western politics for over 2 decades, it’s literally the same fucking thing everywhere.

        Every conservative party has trended towards fascist kleptocracy. Every mainstream moderate or “center-left” party has trended towards neoliberal kleptocracy. The majority of every political class are positioned and financed by the richest few percent. It couldn’t be more obvious. This is why I have come to the conclusion that “classical liberalism” is incompatible with democracy.
