The thing that totally breaks my brain about European conservatives is how blatantingly they support russia, parts of the German military are wildly concerning for how sympathetic they are to russia and Putin, and yet the public attention of Europe is held firm with a leather glove on fearmongering about desperate immigrants goaded into tragic political stunts and how Europe needs to give tons of money to fascist rightwing leaders to be tough enough to fight russia… and how societies have to close themselves down and engage in cultural and geographic isolationism to protect themselves… when the opposite is desperately true.

What European conservatives want is the same as russia wants ultimately, which is for the movement of the poor and working class to be heavily restricted between countries while the flow of goods, money and power in the hands of the rich are given absolute freedom.
