Fascist/totalitarian playbook 101.
Identify your tribe ‘God, family, country’
Define your tribe as pure
Describe your tribe as under attack
List your enemies
List your enemies again
Explain how your enemies are responsible for all the ills of the tribe, they are to blame for everything
Repeat until the fear, anger and paranoia of the gullible reach fever pitch
Maintain at this constant level of hysteria. If some of your enemies are ‘defeated’ or disappear, find new enemies to blame.
The only surprise on this little video is that she stopped at ‘financial speculators’ and didn’t say Soros, which is obviously thanks to Orban now code for Jews. But of course it’s not actually necessary to join the dots.
Interesting how the people who tweet this stuff, often with their little Union Jack and/or cross of St George flags/logos, rarely explicitly rejoice at the rise of these extremists, they just kind of smirk with an ‘I told you so’ overtone to have a poke at their liberal enemies, even though they are doubtless hunched over their laptops ****ing themselves into oblivion over Ms Meloni whilst singing blood and country marching songs.
Any coalition including uber egotists Berlusconi and Salvini is unlikely to last long, particularly if these Neanderthal misogynists have to play second fiddle to a woman, but this could turn difficult if FORZA and Lega MPs defect to the Brothers, who then have a go at the constitution.
Just to be clear, this result, the similar one in Sweden, Trump, Poland, Johnson/Truss/Brexit, Orban etc are primarily down to the complete complacency and sense of entitlement of the old style liberal democrats typified by Blair, Obama, Cameron, allowing all sorts of venal chancers to fill the vacuum they have created.
