Nobody here cares for propaganda that one dimensional. I want the professional adult kind of propaganda. For a nanosecond, German press parses things like this, excuse the awkward formulation due to half-assed translation: A meeting of far right nationalists from France, Netherlands, Germany, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Austria, Flanders, Denmark, Estonia etc. took place in Italy. Eleven parties from the old world got together to organize their super-caucus before the recent European elections, proclaiming themselves to be “the real Europeans” preparing to enter a parliament they despise. Stage in Milan, Puccini victory aria of the sun rising and “Vinceró!”, without a hint of the turbulence and drama from Vienna, where the fall of the now world famous vice chancellor, through a video with unclear source, brought the entire government to its knees. They all pretended “nothing happened” even though they knew the opposite. We’re not talking miscellaneous govt. officials passing themselves Nazi gifs on their messaging apps on Adolph’s Birthday; the tape implicated highest levels of govt. exposing the precarious state of Austrian politics because its viewing sets up fundamental questions: are these guys trustworthy to the degree that they should be managing state-level business/affairs… Is Austria just some special case, as the right will have us believe, or is this representative of how the right exists and operates internationally… with an extremely relaxed view on how parties are funded, relaxed relations to foreign sources of income, carefree relations to branches of justice and pretty lenient and liberal in representing truth. Talk about the rule of law… And we seen some sick stuff but that vice chancellor tripping balls in Ibiza… how pro gangsta his moves were. If we were directing the scene, we’d tell our subject to tone down his performance/level of detail/the hard sell a bit, as nobody’s gonna believe the thing. Then the usual battle for interpretation took its course, supporters downplaying the thing and opponents going “nope! That’s what this is.” Particularly the oh so patriotic new avant-garde apparently has no problem conspiring with foreign interests and selling their country’s political wares to get funded by dubious, nebulous types, and have their agendas dictated to them. They think this is the game and how it is won. Suddenly the conspiracy guys railing against and mucking with the system… *are themselves the corrupt elite.* Of course, our naive interpretation here is spun as “creating fake pseudo scandal liberal bullshit” and “that’s internal Austrian affairs. Isolated case.” There is vulnerability here, because the German right wing is fighting allegations of breaking campaign finance laws. Plus the video reignites the whole Russian connection narrative. Another constant with the nouveau right in Europe. A Russian ministerial document for example, that classifies a member of the German Bundestag wing of these guys as a “member under absolute control”. Intel guys mumbling stuff about Russian strategy changes with less focus on setting agendas through their own channels and media with increased focus on controlling individual targets with estimates ranging to about a dozen trojans. And of course the guys in question claim defamation and no ties to Russia. But they enjoy traveling there apparently, and find journalistic inquiries as to who picks up the checks where and why “petty”. Checking out Marine’s French version of the Milan meeting in 2014 in Lyon reveals yet again the presence of Russian delegates/influence. Two years after that they applied for 3 million Euro loan from Moskau but no clear evidence of receipt although there are further clues that she could’ve traded that cash for legitimizing Krim annexation; basically shutting her trap on it. SMS stuff from Kreml officials “Marine did not disappoint expectations” and “we’re gonna have to thank the French one way or another”. Same with Brexit master Farage: investigations of receiving convoluted payments from Russia. Destabilization of Europe is in Russian interest too. Connection to the Italian right’s, Salvini’s insistence on discontinuing the “useless if not harmful sanctions against Russia”. Does the Greek right wing with its discourse around “natural alliances between Greece and Russia” understand what they’re getting into? Isn’t Putin another clean, strong gentleman that is the only check against the weak pussification of an amoral and decadent Europe? Conspiracy seems like a tall order but Guy Verhofstadt is stating openly: right wing conspiracy to disintegrate EU with Kreml/Oligarch support. The unanimity mechanism of the European council is being glitched as veto-right of populists. EU can’t criticize moving US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as a diplomatic mistake because Hungary blocked with Orban, effectively becoming cartoon hair’s bitch in Brussels. And cartoon hair praises his buddy Orban for doing “great work” and “being respected by the whole of Europe” in the White House a few days ago. Europe folks see this a bit differently: nobody here respects Orban, internal affairs and judicial branches of his govt. betray our values: he’s another entry point for all folks that want to divide Europe. Not just US or Russian interests… increasingly China wants EU single market control to be part of their geopolitical strategy. The entry points keep multiplying. All Europe has as possible moves are sanction type instruments. Merkel “Nationalism is the enemy of the European project. Part of this is rooted in financial corruption/influence of politics.” The Scandinavians are not immune or unaffected: “Swedendemocrats” got 17,5 % of the vote last year. Similar figures achieved by the “real Finnland”. In Estonia the right wing folks jumped from 8,1% to 17,8% this March. They still have to reach genuine majorities but in France they could become the largest party of the country. It’s getting harder and harder in the EU to build stable coalitions of moderates. Their communications/media approaches are too powerful. Established political networks look old, stale, and rigid. The parallel to the 1930s where Nazi’s leveraged the power of video in expert fashion by broadcasting Olympic games 1936 is evident. The allegedly potent left fake news is non-existent digitally, while the right is hitting it out of the park on social media. Left propaganda, lol. A guy like Salvini has 3,7 Million followers on facebook. That’s Pop-Star level. Salvini is - as a single person platform - one of the largest mass media outlets in Italy, with the enormous advantage that him and his world view constitute the only voice, naturally free from dissent. Fighting political correctness. Defeating the lies. Fallen Austrian vice chancellor has 780.000 followers with teams pushing peoples’ buttons in good cop bad cop manner: celebrating mother’s day, childrens’ birthdays, Kiss and heart emojis mixed with healthy doses of evil asylum seekers, their sexual crimes, migrants that should leave etc. Those things aren’t just read and liked: they are propagated and spread with lighting speed. Same with Marine, 1,5 Million followers and Orban 657000 followers. Even if you see these numbers as fake currency, you have to concede that corrupt folks everywhere hold the prize of “message control”. The unfiltered and unchecked spread of self-serving propaganda. The more folks follow politicians and ideologues on social media, the more independent they become from the traditional fact checking mechanisms of investigative journalism, itself also at stake. Less dissent on their voices. Even when they get progressives angry… this just raises clicks and their popularity further. And in the attention binding business of the digital world, this is currency. People prefer watching videos than reading essays. The anger these folks are channeling has legitimate causes. Conspiracy charges against technocrats of the EU, always having to play second fiddle to economic powerhouses of the centre and the north, the ideal breeding ground to nourish hate dreams of destruction of the nation, traditions, religion, gay marriage couples adopting kids, Muslims from Africa: all the fault of Brussel liberal elites. Same old song. Kaczynski speaks like this, so does Orban and his Fidesz. Estonia, Bulgaria, Rumania, Czech Republic, Slovakia. The ridiculous thing about it is: none of these guys want to leave the Union!! Some of the data indicates that folks mistrust their own elites more than they mistrust Brussels! There are economic reasons: European structural and investment funds: between 2004 and 2020, the new Union members received 365 billion Euros. Corrupt regions became growth regions with infrastructure, Universities, Hospitals, government buildings, Internet, with Brussels helping to stabilize bureaucracies, civic structures, and justice branches. Modernization. Naturally, without equal distribution but stats show general living standards rose in those countries. So there isn’t an “objective reason” in Warsaw, Budapest, or Ljubljana to be against the EU. There are only the subjective kinds of reasons, like what spud peddles here. Feelings. Those countries know they have the EU to thank but they don’t feel at home. Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia: about 20 million of them have left their home countries for better lives in central Europe. A generation of eastern Europeans have come to experience the centre as maids, low wage earners in agriculture, construction etc. of the “rich” centre. They feel left behind. Wind in the sails of right wingers.They’re sick and tired of western imitation, so the clean guys that will “mix it up” and “show the politically correct assholes” have sudden appeal. Inferiority complexes turn into aggression. The discourse in Warsaw that “we got everything we could out of the EU and now we’re left only with annoying things like bullshit environmental duties, gay rights, migration quotas, along with tedious brokering of compromises in democracy. So by the time the refugee crises hits in 2015, with Germany helplessly trying to get a distribution quota system going, the eastern Europeans’ discourse sounds like “We survived systemic change, national sovereignty changes, we lost old jobs, we changed, changed everything… and yet haven’t caught up with the damned west! And now, we’re being asked to take care of folks even weaker than ourselves? You guys are joking right?” In Brussels, this kind of thinking leads to hardheadedness that tends towards self-disenfranchisement of the countries in question. Nationalism and solo unilateral shit don’t fare too well and lead to … nothing. Poland and Hungary tend to marginalize themselves, run from the complex topics, kick and scream to no avail instead of pursuing national interests or those of other nations. Vicious circle: nationalist governments feel increasingly alienated in Brussels, leading to increased alienation towards EU at home. The Brussel elites and their technocratic nightmare are at fault, of course. The right used to use parliament as a stage to show their constituents how funny it is to muck with political correctness. But Marine changed most remarkably. Realizing that Frexit was no way forward “Vive l’Europe, la vraie” after being obliterated in a TV debate against Macron, she wants a right wing dream team for “real Europe”. The idea of a “genuine Europe” has no substance, so for now it looks as though disputes will not be avoidable. German AFD and Italy’s Lega are lightyears away from each other programmatically, when it comes to finance. About as far apart as centrists and the far left. Civil-, family-, gender wise there are obstacles to Marine’s dream: Polish PiS or Hungarian Fidesz are ideologically too far apart from right wing in France. But they pursue the dream anyway inside- and outside of parliament’s doors. A super caucus in parliament means more visibility, more power, and more money. EU and its parliament are the treasure chest for Marine. They always have been. Marine and Co. were close to bankruptcy many times and every time EU bailed them out. We don’t think they’d exist without the EU. No groups as brazen as them over here. EU parliament alleges that Marine and 16 party members paid for parliamentary assistants between 2009 and 2017, that were really working for her party instead: bodyguards etc. and around 7 million Euros. All we manage is a personal fine of 300k against her. The smallest caucus, Marine’s, apparently needed 234 bottles of Champagne in 2016, along with 400 Euro meals… another 500k. These funds are distributed for office, administrative costs, education/training to parliamentarians. Another constant: the immunity of our clean heroes to scandals. What their opponents can’t understand: the support doesn’t exist despite the scandals, the support comes because of them. They thrive on the public vulgarity, the mess produced in capitals/politics as figures that break the tyrannical consensuses of alleged economic and political elites. Even if they don’t succeed on any level, at least there is Schadenfreude for what they fuck with. This is universally relatable. The lack of vision is not a problem. 66 Million Brits are better off behind some fences, staying amongst themselves, perfecting traditions and folkish wisdoms. But as cartoonish as this seems… really? Orban and Co. just stumble from one set of dependencies and evil elites into larger ones: Russians, US, Chinese all waiting to pick up weaknesses and exploit them. End of German press propaganda nonsense. My impression is that the kids are growing anti-bodies to all this nonsense. They’ll call me out on my freedom bull, fault me for not being rigorous and responsible enough, so we can guess what’ll they tell the new old right. They can get pretty loud pretty damned fast.
