Against a Fascist Capture of Global Democracy
Friends of Europe —
a red line is being crossed.
And if we lack the courage to name it now, we may never reclaim the right to redraw it.
This is not a policy debate, nor a partisan quarrel. It's an assault on the global order by regimes that reward cruelty, glorify domination, monetize power for private gain—and demand we accept it as normal.
It is NOT normal.
It's the rise of a system where billionaires write laws to punish the poor and enrich the elite. Where thousands lose healthcare while private jets receive tax breaks. Where despots build loyalty through arms, oil, crypto deals, and corruption. Where judges are threatened, universities silenced, migrants caged, dissent criminalised—and where international charters are trashed under the banner of “law enforcement”.
Not by accident. Not in secret. By deliberate design.
Wake up, Europe. This is 1933—with better branding.
The same hatred. The same lies. The same systematic dismantling of institutions. But now with nuclear arsenals, weaponised social media, and the world's most powerful military force—outside law, outside mandate, outside accountability.
And the new regime is now expanding fast.
Through trade. Through platforms. Through think tanks. Through pressure on our courts, our CEOs, our civic space. The National Security Strategy is not just an American blueprint for dismantling democracy—it's an open invitation to every strongman to follow suit.
And too many are already accepting. Governments appease. Corporations fold. Citizens scroll.
We must remember who we are. Europe is not a marketplace. It's a moral project. Built not on geography, but on conviction.
And our core values are under siege:
◼︎ 𝗗𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬—while Trump calls human beings “vermin” and “poison”
◼︎ 𝗗𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗬—while elections are discredited and civil servants purged
◼︎ 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗬—while the sick are stripped of care and the poor scapegoated
◼︎ 𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗘—while arms flow to autocrats and protests meet armed threats
◼︎ 𝗣𝗟𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗠—while minorities are hunted, journalists threatened, and truth is twisted into loyalty
This is fascism rebranded—algorithmic, aesthetic, and armed with private capital.
So what should we do?
As Europeans: Cut moral and economic dependency. End arms deals with tyrants. Build coalitions no foreign power can undermine.
As nations: Stop cloaking cowardice as neutrality. Tax companies that betray our values. Call silence what it is—collusion.
As citizens: Disrupt their networks. Boycott their products. Vote against populists. Speak loudly where others hedge.
Make them understand:
Europe is not for sale.
Human dignity is not negotiable.
Fascism stops here.
Not next year, when the camps overflow.
Not next decade, when the climate is dead.
Now. Today. This hour.
If we delay—if we negotiate—
we are not neutral. We are next.
Europeans of all countries, unite.
History is calling your name.
And this time, it’s personal.

Against a Fascist Capture of Global Democracy
Friends of Europe —
a red line is being crossed.
And if we lack the courage to name it now, we may never reclaim the right to redraw it.
This is not a policy debate. Nor a partisan quarrel.
This is the collapse of moral order: a regime that rewards cruelty, glorifies domination, monetises power for private gain—and demands we call it normal.
It is not normal.
A system where billionaires write laws to punish the poor and enrich the elite. Where 390,000 citizens lose healthcare while private jets get tax breaks. Where 68% of cabinet seats are held by CEOs, and zero by labour. Where despots buy loyalty with $400M Boeings or $2B crypto deals. Where judges are threatened, universities silenced, migrants caged, dissent criminalised, and the most vulnerable abandoned.
Not by accident. Not in secret. By deliberate design.
Wake up, Europe. This is 1933—with better branding.
The same hatred. The same lies. The same systematic dismantling of institutions. But now with nuclear arsenals, weaponised social media, and the world’s largest economy.
And this regime is not retreating. It is exporting.
Through trade. Through platforms. Through think tanks. Through pressure on our courts, our CEOs, our civic space. Project 2025 is not just an American blueprint for dismantling democracy- It is an open invitation to global complicity.
And too many are already accepting. Governments appease. Corporations fold. Citizens scroll.
We must remember who we are.
Europe is not a marketplace. It is a moral project. Built not on geography, but on conviction. Our core values now under siege:
– Dignity, while Trump calls humans “vermin” and “poison"
– Democracy, while elections are discredited and civil servants purged
– Solidarity, while the sick are stripped of care and the poor scapegoated
– Peace, while arms flow to autocrats and protest meets armed forces
– Pluralism, while minorities are hunted, journalists threatened and truth is twisted into obedience
This is fascism rebranded—algorithmic, aesthetic, and armed with capital.
So what should we do?
As Europeans: Cut moral dependency. End arms deals with tyrants. Expel ambassadors who serve autocracy. Enshrine rights no foreign power can threaten.
As institutions: Stop cloaking cowardice as neutrality. Tax companies that betray our values. Call silence what it is—collusion.
As citizens: Disrupt their networks. Boycott their products. Vote against the populists. Speak loudly where others hedge.
Make them understand:
Europe is not for sale.
Human dignity is not negotiable.
Fascism stops here.
Not next year, when the camps overflow.
Not next decade, when the climate is dead.
Now. Today. This hour.
If we delay—if we negotiate—
we are not neutral. We are next.
Europeans of all countries, unite.
Our children are watching.
Our ancestors are waiting.
History is calling our name.
And this time, it’s personal.
