    Mexican here. Last month, a reporter known for being critical of the government was fired live in the middle of his segment. We’re definitely going fascist.

    India and China are missing. Japan is pretty fascist too… at least when compared to European “fascist” countries marked in the map.

    Apart from that… the amount of fascism is too damn high!

      Is Japan “going” or just sitting roughly where it’s been for decades? I don’t know enough about Japanese politics but it doesn’t seem from my perspective like it moves fast.

      You’re correct, it’s innaccurate to not portray the entire world as descending into fascism, as has always been predicted on any path that embraces capitalism.

    Canada’s not fascist yet. We’re electing our own Vance in a few months, so save your sympathy for us then.

    Apparently the Corporation has been able to convince people - as they’ve tried from the start - that Hair Guy is somehow worse than them. They haven’t actually put forth a platform with any numbers or promises on it, but “hair guy bad” has finally found an audience so dumb to swallow it.

      So, not particularly effectively and using it as an increasingly threadbare excuse for maintaining the status quo?

    Ah yes. The west. Famously known for being the most authoritarian of geopolitical regions.

    In the memes defense you can’t be moving towards authoritarianism if you’re already there.

      They said fascist, you can be authoritarian without being fascist.

      How do you know Shrek isn’t portraying someone in the west asking the rest of the west to stop turning fascist?

        If you want to play the fascism isn’t authoritarianism card then name a single state indicated in the meme that has taken up fascism as official policy.

          Fascism is most definitely authoritarian.

          Poo by any other name is still poo. Fascist principles can be seen to be taking root in many western countries. Do they label themselves fascist … well southern and eastern Europe seem to be starting to openly do that.

          Regardless, both Italy and Spain seem to be highlighted in the meme soo … there’s two?

                I wouldn’t say they’ve adopted a fascistic internal political system. Like they still have elections and aren’t led by a dictator. You can only be so ethno-nationalistic while remaining in the EU lol.

                  Yeah Giorgia Meloni and the Fratelli d’Italia sound pretty ethno-nationalistic to me …
