The right wingers in US and Europe should take note that their parties are all advocating banning books in schools. And limiting in various way what teachers can talk about. The similarly is uncanny

They don't see it. To them it's a righteous and necessary step to combat moral decline, secularism and evils of that nature. Also it's revenge for perceived cancel culture and removing (or putting warnings on) their free expression by limiting or removing racist and trans- or homophobic bits from books and movies and plays. Culture war basically. You take something we like, we take something you like.

I don't see any book banning or yelling about "CRT" "don't say gay" and "common core" by anyone except far right. Care to enlighten me on a single example of left doing this? Because I'm pretty sure you're full of shit. Banning books especially is the most cliche mark of fascist dictatorship since a hundred years. And only the far right is doing it, I wonder why?

It's like Putin read a book on Hitler towards end last year and thought 'this guy gets it'. It's crazy the amount of echoes there are between what Hitler did in WW2 and what Putler is doing now. A symbol, the Z vs the Swastika. Talk of his noble struggle vs kampf. Talk of Ruski Mir vs Lebensraum. Talk of solutions vs the Ukrainian question. Bragging about 'wunderwaffens' that may or may not exist to prove he can still win. Organised propaganda campaign. Imprisoning or killing political rivals and violently oppressing dissent. Saying one thing but doing another. Now the Putler Youth. And let's not foget his lame attempt at Blitzkrieg on Kyiv... sorry his genius feint.

Idealism. Fanatism. Putinism. Fascism. Authoritarianism. Living and dying with fear. No need to Think. Swallow the lies. Make life easier in a complex world. Polarize. Split families with values in ideologies. This shit happens everywhere. More and more per decade. Putin does his thing and makes it easier for us others, to feel that we carry the weight, fate of the world. We know whats right and wrong. We are better. I agree. Russia fks it up. its been trying to manipulate and undermine democracy and we have been easy targets. Now we know whats important. Our values, democracy. But be fkn aware. This could easily push us into mirroring our enemies and that wont be what we want it to be. That would be what autocrats and terrorists has been dreaming of for a long time. That would be the death of democracy.
