So even a social democracy like Finland has troubles with far right fascism. That does not bode well.

Modifying the cliche phrase, good times make complacent people, complacent people want fast solutions, fascists promise fast solutions, fascists create bad times, bad times create aware people, aware people create good times

It’s funny how history repeats. Humans never learn.

I truely believe that this is not an act of god and blame “thats how history works”.

I know for a fact that russia is mangled in politics in many many countries and it has full blown departments with the sole purpose of inciting controversy and “extremify” the “west”.

All these fascists raising their head can be directly linked in many countries to russian propaganda.

Seems most of the western world does right now. Social Media has done a number on our society.
