It's as you'd expect.

>Through his images parade Putin, Netanyahu, Milei and Meloni, although the great protagonist is Donald Trump, of course

It offers nothing new.

The people listed are actually resisting the consolidation of power into the hands of a single party.

Left-wing painting all of the Right-wing as fascist. They're preaching to the choir a sermon we've heard a thousand times over the past decade.

Many of the actions of the right wing parties in multiple countries fully match the definition.

Check the Wikipedia definition of fascism and review US policy from the last few months.

It's been just calling the spade a spade. Finally.

The problem is they hsve no mental tools with the complex reality revealed, so the game goes by points to the right wing, which has no tools either but at least does not try to uphold delusional ideological idealizations in public. In the end all we get is to reality detached sides going in a holding pattern. Both brutally incompetent when it comes to dealing with complexity .

Little example, both sides pushed through ineptitude proliferation even beyond the cold war scope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6uxLHWVYRg

The conservating "right on, right on" of the ruling elite just doesn't cut it

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out for it was probably fine and not fascism again."
