    Most Hispanic people are highly balkanized and consider themselves to be “the good hispanics”.

    They are ripe to adopt fascism because their identity was forged by a system of Spanish-Catholic authoritarianism.

      Can confirm. Racism and classism are both very subtle but very present in my country. I’ve had people deny it or pass it off as something else after saying some racist shit.

      I wouldn’t say most, but there’s still a relevant part of the country that thinks that way. However, the young Spaniard generations are way more radicalised to the left, maybe to be reactionary. In any case, all the left powers have united quite tightly against the extreme right, so there’s that I guess.
