    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.

      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 ;)
