    Eh, a cursory glance at their proposed policies is more than enough to convince me they’re fascist. Ethnic purity, ending welfare, rejecting non-classical art, rejecting international alliances, and for some reason making all kids eat red meat daily.

    All of those things are either directly fascist or closely associated with modern fascist culture wars.

      That’s entirely possible. I don’t agree with everything he says, and I’ve since learned from reliable sources of various disgusting comments made by him in person. But I’m still not going to use “Flamman” as a reliable source. They are not a reliable publication. And they are not taken seriously in Sweden.

      It would be a bit like taking what “FOX News” says about US Democrats as a reliable source of unbiased information.

        Fox News May be known for their opinion segments, but their journalism team is actually competent, and their polling teams are some of the best around.

          You’re arguing with a troll, he’s not out after facts, just to push his fascist views by trying to muddy the waters.

          I’m sure they are. But you would look for other sources to confirm or deny. Because you know they are known to be biased.

          “Flamman” however is closer to Alex Jones Info Wars than FOX News. Minus the peddeling of protein shakes or whatever it was

            Yeah that’s what I did. I looked up the OP policies, and rapidly identified them as almost certainly fascist. Which was the original question. Not the source credibility.
