FIGHTING A FASCISM THAT ONLY EXISTS IN THEIR HEADS
Some people are obsessed with seeing fascism everywhere. They call it out in governments, laws, and pretty much any opinion they don’t like. “Fascist alert!” they cry. But real fascism, the textbook kind, is crystal clear: it’s all about force. About using the State as a weapon—extreme nationalism, a cult of personality, militarism, systematic suppression of freedoms, a single-party rule. And let’s be honest: that’s just not happening in Europe or the US today.
The irony? The only real violence I’m seeing comes from the very people claiming to fight fascism. They’re the ones yelling, pointing fingers, getting aggressive, and trying to shut you down if you don’t agree with them. And no matter how they dress it up, that reeks of authoritarianism too.
So when I see images like these from FEMEN, I can’t help but wonder: are they protesting something real, or just fighting a monster they made up in their heads?
After Marine Le Pen was sentenced to five years of ineligibility in the EU Parliament assistants case, a large protest was held in her support at Place Vauban. FEMEN activists showed up to crash the gathering.


Also in France, the activists denounced what they call a “fascist epidemic,” using Nazi symbols to protest against figures like Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Elon Musk.




One activist took a stand against Germany’s far-right party, AfD, in front of the German Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine.
