Retroactive
Common headline today:
Austria: Is Europe set to elect its first far-right leader since WWII?
Classic case of Orwellian retroactive redefinition. In modern EU terms, far-right means "Leading your own country for the benefit of its own people." Non-far-right means "Obeying Imperial Brussels absolutely."
In fact MOST European leaders since WWII have been far-right. Churchill, deGaulle, Adenauer. All led their own countries to benefit their own people. All controlled immigration and trade, all used their armies for their own purposes, not to increase Goldman's share value. Ultra-ultra-ultra-far-far-far-far-right-wingnut-wingnut-wingnut-Nazi-Hitler-Hitler-Hitler.
Brussels didn't become an Empire until Germany reunified. Since then, the Kraut leader has used the Brussels mechanism to run the Fourth Reich. Since then, normal sane people have been slaughtered.
