The Barbarians Are at the Gate—U.S. Actor and Comedian Rob Schneider Rob Schneider, a renowned American actor and comedian, has spoken candidly about his shift from liberal to conservative views, attributing his political transformation to the policies of the Obama administration. He described the era as a “destructive” period that eroded American democracy through covert means, such as the dismantling of the Smith-Mundt Act, which he argued allowed domestic propaganda to flourish. Schneider emphasized that the second Obama administration was particularly damaging, creating a “time limit to disrupt democracy” in the U.S. He criticized the rise of what he calls the “green-red alliance,” a coalition he frames as a modern form of communism disguised as tolerance. This alliance, he claims, operates in tandem with Islam to undermine Western civilization. Schneider likened the phenomenon to the “Sovietization of Europe,” a term he attributes to former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who observed the spread of authoritarianism under the guise of political correctness. The terms “social justice” and “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” Schneider argues, are Trojan horses designed to infiltrate and control societies. Schneider also addressed the concept of “Islamophobia,” asserting that Islam is not confused about its goals. He described it as a deliberate strategy to dismantle Western civilization, a threat he believes is exacerbated by “freedom fatigue” among Western populations. He warned that younger generations, lacking historical awareness of totalitarianism, are vulnerable to these ideologies.#emmanuel_macron #keir_starmer #rob_schneider #mikhail_gorbachev #obama_administration

Mr Schneider was gracious enough to give an exclusive interview to our site before his lecture at MCC Budapest. What made you turn to politics? Was it the era when the left was aggressively coming after comedians? Yeah, when you get attacked, when people try to prevent you from working, and you survive, you get emboldened to go: 'Who are these assholes trying to take me out?' I've always been a contrarian. So you have a left that is totalitarian in the sense that they're not for free speech. They don't really have the best interests of the culture in mind. They're not open for debate, they're open for demonization. They want to demean you, they want to demoralize you, they want to prevent you from speaking, and they want to take away your ability to make a living. That sounds authoritarian. As a matter of fact, that sounds like communism. That's why I'm so particularly supportive of Viktor Orbán because he managed to keep the barbarians out. Just to go back a little bit, when they asked Mikhail Gorbachev what the biggest surprise was that he had seen since he stepped down, since the fall of the Iron Curtain and the fall of the Soviet Union, he said very directly: the biggest surprise was the Sovietization of Europe.#rob_schneider #adam_sandler #mcc_budapest #viktor_orbn #mikhail_gorbachev
