        Just for historical record context, every country in Europe either had clown set up like this or at least some clown fucking sympathizers volunteering for the cause.

        If Germany was gonna be this degenerate, than Japan did it too.

        This is a human condition that requires a human solution.

          yep. about 10% of all countries have some assholes who want authoritarianism.

          At the very least.

        Unfortunately, far too many people would cheer it on a some sort of “own the libs” “joke”

      Exactly right. They might consider it initially, but then they’d realize that they got an increase in support from the MAGA base and they’d lean into it.

      They would be smiling in their official public portrait while wearing it and throwing Heil Hitler arms

      I really wish we could start treating Nazis like we used to

    Make No mistake, every single one of the RN members would gladly wear a Nazi hat and behave as such, if they didn’t have to appear reasonable to access power. They are a hateful and violent group. This party has been co-founded in 1972 by a former SS. Their plan for France is not to kick out migrants and reenforce safety, no, no, no. Their plan is to destroy freedom of speech and press, destroy education, destroy the “Rules of law” (L’État de droit), militarize police and racial cleansing.

    I didn’t know LeMonde has an English version. Nice

    I’m honestly surprised she even bothered withdrawing. It’s far from the first picture of a RN candidate in Nazi outfits we find. I’m glad but she did, but I’m surprised.

    Sounds like Nazi’s were too kind on the western front.

    Where did she even find the hat?

          It’s like you can’t even be a rightwing fascist without people jumping to conclusions when you’re photographed wearing Nazi memorabilia! This is cancel culture, which is clearly the worst problem in society. /s

    Honestly thought this was a picture of a Mighty Boosh character as I scrolled past. Be better if it was.
