    Thank you, yes, exactly. The reason why right wing extremist/fascist talking points often sound convincing is because they usually have some kernel of truth, that they then twist to their agenda.

    Western Media has failed spectacularly to report faithfully and objectively for decades. They have been sucking up to their economic and political overlords, shooting their own credibility in the foot. This has created a weakness that their opponents to the right are loving to exploit, be that US alt-facts/Maga Republicans, European neofascist “identitarians” or putinist ultranationalists.
