Global politics in 2024 is pretty much western fascism vs eastern fascism

South, middle, north, periphery, western & eastern citizens suffer

There is actually real generally agreed upon properties of fascism. It's not just "politicians I'm angry at because the internet told me to be".

It's important to understand these things otherwise you're just falling for the "both sides" rhetoric just as the actual fascists want you to.

Yes, and the properties apply. Umberto Eco's list is a wonderful source

By no means are the people suffering one of "both sides"
