It’s a literal bonfire of the vanities. The bigotry, the smugness, and the violence are all part of a self-mythologizing narrative used to build support for increasingly awful people. Guys like Ben-Gvir are in power precisely because they’re the biggest assholes the country has to offer. They draw in other assholes like a magnet and build a movement based on that collective awfulness, even as their country self-destructs and takes out every neighbor in a 500 mile radius.
Exactly. Every society has this strata of psychos who are constantly angling for power. A healthy society understands this and keeps them under control.
But now and then, a society weakens, and these people gain power, and it’s always the same. In the 1930’s it was the Nazis, in the 2010s it was MAGA.
It is important to keep these people crushed at all times, and not feel badly about it. These people do not deserve our empathy, or access to our rights, so they can abuse, manipulate, and violate them. We know where their “free speech” leads us, and we don’t have to tolerate it.
A healthy society is not polite to political psychopaths.
I hate that human beings like this exist.

They’re „protecting their borders”. Like Russia
They’re very similar in many aspects. BTW do you know what characterises a secure Soviet border?
Are you referring to the satellite buffer zone? Or is this a joke about Nazis in winter?
„A secure Soviet border has Soviet soldiers on both sides.” Give me the joke about Nazis too ;)
A secure soviet border is behind a line of snowmen in SS uniforms.
The issue is not that we have deranged human beings. As societies, we can handle these cases.
The issue is we keep promoting them: Minister in Israel, President in the US, billionaires, trillionaire, …
i blame the not interested in politics assholes.
Absolutely
Mentally lazy cunts who are complacent, and perfectly happy for others to suffer so long as they’re ok
