There is no irony. The German government is proto-fascist, and has been for a while, as are several other European governments. Apparently the UK now arrests more people per capita for online speech than China does.

I would like to see your definition of fascism under which the German government is proto-fascist.
An authoritarian state that exercises oppressive power through legalistic institutions in league with a corporate oligarchy.
Germany has its problems, but it's consistently in the top 15 most democratic nations in the world.
Calling a solidly democratic nation "fascist" is a rhetorical reversal straight out of the authoritarian playbook.

Mentioning evil Soros is like a 100% reliable political crackpot indicator, even though this here is a quite original take. He is usually an evil Jewish globalist, i.e. a nefarious leftist.
I think he seriously pissed off the right people in Russia who are now throwing whatever shit they can think of at the wall, and some of it sticks. They do not try to be consistent at all, anything that will convince someone is fine.
