Truly some top tier Baltic level stuff coming out of Lithuania right now. You know it must be fairly serious when you are on trial for antisemitism in LITHUANIA. Well let’s just do a little bit of research on the leader of the NA, Remigijus Žemaitaitis. First I’ll check his wikiped– oh…
You know it’s gonna be bad when the first sentence of your intro paragraph on Wikipedia page mentions you being known for your antisemitism. I can’t help myself. I have to check what he’s been saying that’s so controversial.
TW actual antisemitism
[this is a well-known Lithuanian anti-Semitic rhyme].
Of course it is! And of course Lithuania has a well known antisemitic rhyme!
Hm actually I don’t need to read his other quotes. Read more about the antisemitism trial he is currently on here. (warning: his quotes are here and contain obvious and aggressive antisemitism)
Having “Dawn” in the name of a political party is an automatic red flag
May I ask how did you figure this out?
We had a "golden dawn" party here in Greece and it was a nazi party. What's the connection between "dawn" and nazis?
Edit: thank you for your responses people :)
Fascists love larping with pseudo-historic religious symbolism, whether that's christian crusaders shit, occult shit, celtic shit, buddhist shit or viking shit. They coopt anything and everything in that kind of spectrum.
RETVRN
I’m not sure if there’s anything explicit in the bowels of fascist/nazi symbolism or mythology to explain it. I think it’s the imagery of “return to the start of the day” fits into fascism’s reactionary nature; we could have the good ol’ days again if we returned to what made us great in the romanticized dawn of the culture/body politic.
It has nothing to actually do with anything academic or intelligent because fascists lack the proper skills on analysis to do anything like that. Fascists like shit like “dawn” or “rising” because they think its cool.
It’s the same reason Elon Musk was doing shit like posting about Fullmetal Alchemist as if he wouldn’t be one of the villains hated by the main characters. He knows it’s supposed to be cool so if he likes it and co-opts it that makes him cool, but for him to co-opt it he must completely be missing the message
