#Israel’s government is dominated by #religious & #ultranationalist politicians, like Smotrich, with close ties to the settlement movement. The finance minister has been granted Cabinet-level authority over settlement policies & vowed to double the settler population in the #WestBank.

@pamelat Authoritarian obedience. Nothing new under the sun there.
Clearly you can be both american and bow blindly to the big man on top at the same time.

The big problem with #AmericanExceptionalism is that they see #authoritarianism as something that only happens to other people.

But of course the object of #ultranationalist #obedience having a certain configuration of stars & stripes, doesn’t really change basic human psychology..

@davidaugust it's not #stupidity, but exactly wuat #AgentKrasnov is being paid for!

#Trump is an #asset of #Putin!

He deliberatley cripples the #USA to enshure #Russia has a dominant position and no realistic opposition for their #ultranationalist fever-dream "From #Dublin till #Yukon" and the sooner people realize this, the faster the necessary steps can be taken to prevent that from happening!

@RegGuy @Kierkegaanks

i find it interesting #Trump doesn't threaten to invade #Cuba

from a purely moron-#American #ultranationalist #imperialist perspective, it works. it works from the "evil #socialism" perspective

it even works from the hardcore #rightWing #CubanAmerican "Bay of Pigs was the greatest tragedy ever" perspective

but Trump goes after #Greenland and #Panama, #Canada and #Mexico instead

interesting that, no?

More about what Putin's Night Wolves are all about. Sounds a lot like the other Fascist / NeoNazi movements that have crawled out from under a rock in recent years...

Russia Is Co-opting Angry Young Men

Fight clubs, neo-Nazi soccer hooligans, and motorcycle gangs serve as conduits for the Kremlin’s influence operations in Western countries.

"Deep in the forests of Slovakia, former Russian #Spetsnaz commandos trained young men from a right-wing paramilitary group called the Slovak Conscripts. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2014, some of these freshly-minted paramilitaries went to fight with Russian forces in eastern Ukraine while others stayed at home to agitate against NATO as a 'terrorist organization.'

"On the streets of the French city Marseille, Russian soccer hooligans sporting tattoos with the initials of Russia’s military intelligence service, #GRU, brutally attacked English soccer fans in June 2016, sending dozens of bloodied fans to the hospital. Alexander Shprygin, an #ultranationalist agitator and the head of the All-Russian Union of Supporters (a soccer fan club that he claims was established at the behest of the Russian Federal Security Service, or #FSB), was arrested during the melee and deported from #France.

"In Budapest’s Fiumei Road Cemetery in May 2017, a Russian motorcycle gang carrying giant red flags displaying the Soviet hammer and sickle rode up to a World War II memorial. Somewhat incongruously, the tattooed bikers, accompanied by pinstriped Russian Embassy diplomats, disembarked from their motorcycles to lay red carnations in front of the memorial and then posted a video clip of it online.
It seems almost too strange to be true: fight clubs, #NeoNazi soccer hooligans, and motorcycle gangs serving as conduits for the Kremlin’s influence operations in Western countries. It sounds more like an episode of The Americans with a dash of Mad Max and Fight Club mixed in. Yet this is exactly what is happening across #Europe and #NorthAmerica as Russia’s intelligence services co-opt fringe radicals and angry young men to try to undermine Western democracies from within. And not just in the virtual world, but in real life."
