Barring a few exceptions (cough Orban) they seem relatively aware that two things just aren't cool to voice support for anymore; words ending in -xit and Russia.

That's because it has nothing to do with right wing or not, only about what they see as the enemy. Some see Russia as the enemy, some NATO or the US, some of them are left, some of them are right.

Yeah, the socdems are ostensibly left-wing, except they had two liberal parties controlling them for right years, and they themselves have been driving more and more to the right as well. Their top level consists of the same type of people as establishment right wing parties, i.e., career politicians who yo yo back and forth between lobbying and politics. The party leadership is filled with grsossar who would rather implement or maintain liberal privatizations than implement actual left wing policies. --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent <cite>scar_the_1 posted [p:974808907] in Turkey agr...

If Turkey decides to start a genocide, then it is now illegal for Swedish journalists to report it. Erdogan said "Fuck you Sweden, you are hosting Turkish journalists that have fled the country. They reported the truth so they are terrorists. Give them to us!". Sweden suddenly rejected some Turkish citizens that had looked for asylum. Erdogan said "Fuck you Sweden, you love terrorists too much. Sign these contracts saying that we will start a unit together hunting down jour... I mean terrorists!". Sweden did. Erdogan said "Fuck you Sweden, we should be in EU, support us!". Sweden did.
