Leading defense analysts say that the Houthis' latest attacks are Tehran showing what it is truly capable of

The founders of the school of thought out of which Fascism has grown all have certain common characteristics. They seek the good in will rather than in feeling or cognition; they value power more than happiness; they prefer force to argument, war to peace, aristocracy to democracy, propaganda to scientific impartiality. They advocate a Spartan form of austerity, as opposed to the Christian form; that is to say, they view austerity as a means of obtaining mastery over others, not as a self- discipline which helps to produce virtue, and happiness only in the next world. The later ones among them are imbued with popular Darwinism, and regard the struggle for existence as the source of a higher species; but it is to be rather a struggle between races than one between individuals, such as the apostles of free competition advocated. Pleasure and knowledge, conceived as ends, appear to them unduly passive.

For pleasure they substitute glory, and, for knowledge, the pragmatic assertion that what they desire is true. In Fichte, Carlyle, and Mazzini, these doctrines are still enveloped in a mantle of conventional moralistic cant; in Nietzsche they first step forth naked and unashamed.

I'm guessing there is footage from bus cameras but no one is saying. I only know of one race that will gang rush a small child like this and stomp on their heads.

Yes, there is evidence that Muammar Gaddafi's Libya provided support to the British National Front (BNF) in the past. Gaddafi's regime has been known to support various anti-establishment and far-right groups, including the BNF. This support was likely motivated by a shared ideological affinity with the BNF's anti-immigration, anti-establishment views, and their criticism of liberal democracies.

Evidence of Support:

Shared ideology:

Gaddafi's regime was known for its anti-establishment, anti-imperialist rhetoric, which resonated with the BNF's similar views.

Financial and logistical support:

There are accounts of Gaddafi providing financial and logistical support to the BNF, including assistance in organizing rallies and distributing propaganda.

Information Sharing:

It is believed that Gaddafi's regime also shared information and intelligence with the BNF about their opponents, including Jewish organizations and liberal political parties.

Motivations:

Ideological affinity:

Gaddafi's regime was a staunch opponent of Western liberal democracies and supported groups that shared their anti-establishment views.

Strategic advantage:

By supporting groups like the BNF, Gaddafi was able to destabilize the UK and undermine its influence in the region.

Building international networks:

Supporting the BNF allowed Gaddafi to build a network of like-minded groups, potentially for future collaboration and support.

Consequences:

Increased radicalization:

Gaddafi's support for the BNF contributed to the radicalization of the far-right in the UK.

Damage to international relations:

Gaddafi's actions strained relations between Libya and the UK and other Western nations.

Legal repercussions:

The BNF's activities, fueled by Gaddafi's support, led to arrests and legal proceedings against the group's members.

Yes, the Khmer Rouge regime exhibited strong ethnonationalist tendencies, contributing to the Cambodian genocide.
Here's a breakdown of how ethnonationalism was evident in their rule:

1. Extreme Khmer Nationalism:

The Khmer Rouge idealized the ancient Angkor Empire and the Khmer race, promoting a sense of Khmer supremacy and a desire to restore Cambodia's past glory.
They viewed Cambodia as being threatened by historical enemies, particularly Vietnam and Thailand, and their allies, fueling a xenophobic form of nationalism.

2. "Purification" and Ethnic Cleansing:

Driven by a vision of a pure Khmer society, the Khmer Rouge sought to eliminate anything deemed "impure" or foreign.
This involved persecution and violence against various groups, including:
Ethnic minorities: Particularly the Cham, Vietnamese, and Chinese.
Religious groups: Buddhist monks, Christians, and Muslims were targeted.
Educated elites and intellectuals: Doctors, lawyers, teachers, and even those who wore glasses were deemed enemies.

3. Forced Khmerization:

The Khmer Rouge aimed to force cultural assimilation, requiring minorities to abandon their distinct cultures and adopt Khmer language, customs, and names.
They banned cultural practices, religions, and languages aside from Khmer, further suppressing minority identities.

4. Propaganda and Fear:

The regime disseminated propaganda that portrayed minorities as threats to Khmer purity and national security, fueling hatred and violence.
They instilled fear and paranoia, creating a climate of terror that allowed them to maintain control and carry out their policies.
In conclusion, while the Khmer Rouge espoused communist ideology, their extreme Khmer nationalism and policies of "purification" and ethnic cleansing clearly demonstrate strong ethnonationalist elements in their regime.
