<![CDATA[Yes, it's true.]]>Yes, it's true. "US to fund free speech initiatives in Europe, Trump official says" (which means AfD, Reform UK, Sverigedemokraterna).

And all of public administration and political parties are run on Microsoft and Google in Sweden. Why? "Because there are no alternatives" and "The market has spoken". So it's fully accessible to US intelligence when they're tasked with aiding the far right.

Freedom of movement looks great on paper but it is an absolute nightmare in some countries to actually assert.

This makes them stronger and weakens the democratic right. This is known. Its been tested and proven.

Its also been tested and proven to fight the far right through social justice and social reforms. That works. But then you can't hobnob with the billionaires du jour. No fancy lobbying money and special invitations come your way doing that.

We tried to create a society based on ideals of social equality and human dignity to never again wind up where we were. But memories fade and the elites no longer feel a sense of responsibility and/or dread.

1. Have the established political parties emulate the far right and invite them into government. (Ask von Papen about that).

2 Create a class of super wealthy oligarchs.

3. Leave the public sphere in the hands of foreign owned oligarch media

Nooooooo. Of course not. Don't be preposterous!
