I want everyone to see what a speech of true fascism looks like.

I have translated and added subtitles to the latest video speech by Vladimir Putin from two hours ago. Please don’t let it go in vain - I want everyone to see what a speech of true fascism looks like.

No further comment needed, it’s all here, in his speech

1. K & R...

To use one of Malcom Nance's terms, I think the target is getting twitchy.

I just hope there are people between him and the button that will prevent the worst.

6. Yes, he sounds like a distressed madman, ready now to devour his own people. n/t

2. THat is quite a word salad.

so convoluted it stopped making sense after the first few sentences.

10. It isn't meant to make sense.

It is meant to evoke emotion. Fear and anger, that is the goal. Fear in people who oppose Putin, anger in supporters who may think that there are "traitors in our midst".

While most speeches try to engage and connect on some emotional level with the audience, the speech of an authoritarian will primarily deal with fear and anger.

Think about Trump's speeches, the only time that they took any kind of "positive" tone was when Trump would say stupid things like, "I alone can fix this" and "We're going to build the most powerful wall..." and other such nonsense.

Putin is more intelligent than Trump so his speeches will be more sound, but the message is the same, "We are strong, we have a special history, that history and our destiny are under attack by enemies from the outside and from within. We need to crush them. Only under my leadership will that happen". Just a generic, authoritarian speech.

3. It is chilling, but even more chilling is the thought that this "purification" of which he speaks

is an echo of some things our own cultists have said about "libtards" and "rinos".0

4. Sounds like Trump and the GOP

replace Putin's "5thcolumn" with Trump's "deep state"

and

Putin's "higher caste" with the GOP's "elites"

and you have a complete match

5. K&R !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[Tadpole Raisin]

7. May he be the first one spit out.

[Caliman73]

8. When I first heard the speech...

I immediately thought that it sounded like the rallies at Nuremberg and something Hitler, Franco, or Mussolini would say. Definitely fascism. Also sound like what Trump would try to say (except Trump really sucks at public speaking).

9. totally unhinged.

[dchill]

11. Grievous grievance.

[Baked Potato]

12. No words to encourage his troops or console grieving loved ones.

Only whine, whine, whine. Vladdy’s Folly.

13. So, yeah ... he voted for Trump and will be joining the whiny "freedom" convoy
