And yet Kremlin can't stop from propping up the fascist Legionnaires in Romania "for democracy".

[-] marathon@thelemmy.club 2 points 4 hours ago

If supporting what the people have voted for is wrong, then count me in. That's called democracy in action. Not giving a hoot what the elitists want is appropriate for votes in Romania. Guess you didn't like the results, eh?

I am fully against the constitutional court's decision. It was undemocratic. As stated in other messages, I meant here the support from Kremlin for the fascist paramilitary group, "Vlad the Impaler".

Had Georgescu been allowed, democracy in Romania would be dead. But that is another story.

This is what liberals describe as "whataboutism".

[-] falx@lemmy.ml 0 points 15 hours ago

How so? It's the same subject, Russia. The same object, fascist ideology. On one side they condemn it, on the other they prop it up.

Had I said a different subject or object, I would have agreed. But here I need you to help me out, I don't see whataboutsim.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 13 hours ago

No. The subject is the Latvian SS.

LOL the western propaganda press suddenly quit reporting about that 'Russian influence' lie when it was proven it was the Romanian liberals who did it.
You should keep up with the lies you parrot.

I love how you're getting downvoted for stating factual information that's been reported in mainstream western media https://www.politico.eu/article/investigation-ties-romanian-liberals-tiktok-campaign-pro-russia-candidate-calin-georgescu/

Never stated Kremlin was the only one backing Georgescu, liberals also had their role to play in this farce. But I meant the "Vlad the Impaler" paramilitary fascist group with direct ties to Moscow https://www.rferl.org/a/romania-vlad-the-impaler-group-russia-coup-plot-treason/33348058.html

Oh hey, weird how this wasn't a problem until Georgescu started running. He was in Romanian politics and even in the government for a long time last I checked, so clearly Romanian regime didn't have a problem with fascist groups before. And all of a sudden they started caring when it became convenient for them. Seems to me that it's not fascism that's the problem for them.

Yes, I fully agree that the government tolerated these fringe groups for too long. There is no excuse for that. They suddenly gained visibility recently, and part of the group of actors involved in that rise in notoriety is Moscow.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

Again, it's very clear that it's not fascism that the government takes issue with.

[-] falx@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Fully agree, sadly Romania has nothing anywhere near anything resembling socialism, corruption is rampant with or without fascists taking center stage. If it's not American bootlickers in power, it's so called "suveranists" who would bend over backwards for anyone giving them an edge in local politics.

The Soviet Union just after the war supported the so-called "Socialist Imperial Party" in Western Germany, until it was banned there. That party, as you might have guessed, was basically rebranded Nazis.
