“One of the reasons I quit broadcasting in 2016, to become politically active and free myself from the self-censorship required of PSB journalists, was that I’d seen how strong and effective Golden Dawn were during the Greek crisis.”-@paulmasonnews 🤍👊🏼
“Since 2015, when the global elite effectively split into nationalist versus globalist factions, the opportunity for fascism has returned. But it’s a new kind of fascism..a mixture of networked power..attacks on science, democracy..with plebeian despair.”-@paulmasonnews
“Fascism can be triggered without mass unemployment because its real stimulant is mass social disorientation. For this reason it is to be feared when it takes the form of what Varga observed in the Austrian alps—mass quasi-religious conversion of entire communities”@paulmasonnews
Anyone else pondering how to get our country back from libertarian billionaires running ponzi tax avoidance schemes and installing truly awful politicians so they can keep running ponzi tax avoidance schemes whilst laundering money for transnational mobsters.
Those truly awful seditionists posing as grievance-victim-actor politicians are props for billionaires trying to avoid paying taxes and keeping their corruption hidden. If we don’t go after every one of them with all the might of our laws, the infection will metastasize.

VICTIM—“You have victimization, strongmen always have to be victims, their bodies become vessels of national humiliation..they become an umbrella for all extremist people..it’s often the most impious corrupt individuals who become icons in the church..it’s all transactional.”-RBG
Simply because the Republican party has normalized deviant behavior, minimized a murderous insurrection, and openly takes money from criminals, does not make them immune to prosecutions.
