If you think that's crazy, maybe you should check out how things are going in Moldova...

Moldovan President Sandu is also a Romanian national, like many of her compatriots. She supported Nicusor Dan in the May 2025 Romanian presidential election and voted for him.

It may seem odd that Sandu holds Romanian citizenship, enjoys voting rights in Romania and effectively promotes the end of her independent state. Yet for many, her attitude simply underscores the linguistic, historic and cultural ties between Romania and Moldova. Both countries use Romanian as their official state language.

I recently heard a talk of a German professor for history. He made a point why it is (as often) wise to use the labels correct. In his opinion, "fascism" is something slightly diferent, more militaristic fe. So Trump, the AfD, and all the other arseholes need an own description - post-fascism. It made kinda sense to me. But yeah, I understand why its sometimes fair to use a fighting word.

If you are interested and understand German fluently, here is the said talk.

I can warmly recommend this podcast series in general. They do quick lectures on specific, sometimes controverse, history topics with proven experts. And they do it in a sober and neutral tone. Unlike many other podcasts out there. I like that :)
