   We know from the Panama Papers (and the Paradise Papers, and the Pandora papers, and and and) that basically all the hard-right political parties and their proxies in North America and Europe are being quietly shadow-funded by Russia and a collection of ideologically-aligned oligarchs, so it would be great if elected politicians acted as though they understood that, and that condemning antifascist protest is sending a clear signal they've been bought by the wrong side.

     Where do you see yourself as a politician, in a totalitarian political environment? Have you not been watching the ritual humiliation of the American political apparatus for the last few months? You think the leopards are going to eat your face last when you're the closest meal to hand?

     If you're a politician in a democracy, those kids out there in black-bloc hoodies protesting encroaching fascism are also, not incidentally, trying to save your fucking job and your dumb, shortsighted ass.
