I know there's plenty of issues with the American political system, but let's take a break from all that and talk about European politics for the day. Given the ongoing European Parliament elections, let’s look at the far-right’s footholds in Europe.

Often it takes mental gymnastics, but almost surprisingly, I think Peter is simply on autopilot. He's got a lot of boilerplate analysis and amusing descriptions, and his thought falls into well-worn grooves. He pieced together an analysis from pieces smoothed by long use and went with that. How else could he ignore the elephant in the room that no one else is ignoring. How else ignore the widespread expectations and fears of a youth surge toward the right that flies in the face of his analysis? Not cope, not denial, just ignorance. This doesn't sound like one of those talks where he spoke with someone who's been paying attention on his behalf.

@sagichnicht6748 2 ай бұрын

The FPÖ was doing already very well long before "uncontrolled immigration". So while the far right benefits from the topic, it really doesn't need it. What it needs is people worried of the future, of loosing out, of the good times coming to an end. And that's the beauty of it, given that large parts of the world are catching up or even surpassing Europe (which is a natural thing too, or did anyone expect that the rest of the world will just stay underdeveloped for eternity?), the fat times are indeed over. Thing is, by voting for far right parties like the AfD voters are only speeding up this process as AfD and co are selling the own country and Europe to the highest bidding dictatorships as has been shown already for everyone to see who wants to see it.

What did he say ? 1) Mass migration is a bad thing for societal cohesion 2) Joining the EU is bad because it surrenders national government to an unelected bureaucracy and a predominantly left-wing set of politicians. It's a shame he was kicked out, and Britain adopted both those awful policies. In 2016 Britain started to extricate itself from the EU.

Peter, it's not the molly cuddling old folks that vote far-right. I think you mistake Europe for America. Old Europeans generally don't vote far-right or far-left since they associate this with nazism and communism respectively which they either encountered themselves, or their parents vividly remembered. It's the younger generations that vote far-right (generally boys) or far-left (generally girls). The biggest wild card is the growing muslim population. They tend to vote center-left because the far-right is hostile to Islam, but their cultural stances (i.e. the ones that truly matter) align way more closely to the far-right and are diametrically opposed to the left (with LGBTQIA+ stuff really mobilizing them against the left). I wonder how much longer before Islamic parties with ultra-conservative stances come onto the scene and completely reshape politics in (primarily Western) Europe.

Because younger people drive the economy and economic demand. Old people turn away from consumer spending as they retire, and sit on the savings that they do have. If you want growth, the 18-55 age group drive that economic engine. As for immigration, that's why European countries and the USA allowed that. Not enough Americans were available to work the jobs that are needed, but these foreign workers will accept lower wages than native-born citizens will accept. That's capitalism's main problem. If we stopped every person at the border, the next major crisis will be more inflation because our labor force will be demanding better pay. Wait and see. That's part of our future, and it's right around the corner. Inflation is only a sign that everyone's budget is stretched to the breaking point. Is it time for wage and price controls like Nixon and Ford tried to enforce back in the 1970's. And they were Republicans! Look it up. That actually happened during another economic crisis. We're drifting towards that. As for Europe and right-wing parties, it's happened before, and the results weren't pleasant. Folks will take to the streets sooner or later. Time will tell...

Peter is a bit off this time. Europe was dominated by leftist politics for the better part of the last 20-30 years. Yes, the right leaning parties were present, but nowhere near in popularity to get into the government. They were allways in opposition. The leftist politics pushed for policies witch are not just unpopular but the governments who implemented those had no political mandate to do so. That means that they betrayed their voters by promising them proserpity and diverse culture with a green new future, but in reality they repressed free speech, cripled the economy and created social and ethnic conflicts. The migrant issue is one of the biggest topics where the right gains voters. I have spoken with a lot of my friends, the overarching sentiment is that they vote agianst the illegal migration. They see how the cultural enritchment works is England, Germany, in the Neederlands or in France and they are fed up with it.

I’ll tell you the reason why most young people vote far right in Europe: we can’t get ahead. I was 30 when I moved to Berlin to establish a sub division of a company I worked for. Both me and my husband were looking to invest in property market to buy our first flat and to start a family. Turns out, apartment in Berlin that could support a family costed in 2020 at least 800 thousand euros. Oh and you can’t renovate them, even inside because of f*cked up German “anti-luxury” upgrade laws. Yes you would live in a flat with bathroom that still has blood stains from wwii for a million euros. So we rented, sat indoors for 2 years saving the older generations from imminent death from covid and by the time we could live again everything doubled in price: property, food, taxes even our rent went up in price by 20% (highest increase legally possible in Germany). So we fled, because we knew that Germany has gone to shit like most countries in North Western Europe. Now I’m 33, we are temporarily living in Cyprus trying to make sure that whatever money we have is not taxed into oblivion, watching boomers trying to offload houses they bought in Cyprus 40 years ago for 50k to us for 750k. On top of it all, we have a war that’s going to ravage Eastern and Central Europe, we have wokeness and pronouns shoved down our throats and a million more things that are meant to keep us at a disadvantage. Young Europeans are not far right, we are anti-establishment. We are done with this so-called democracy which benefits the old. All of these things combined and more is why the young are voting for anything rather than what we have today.

When you are seeing movements that you consider reactionary or extreme... and each person can define for themselves what those terms mean.... it's an indication that something is wrong somewhere and that things are broken. It means that the people in charge and the systems in place are failing. It means that the reasonable is not being looked after and that the people are not content. These are what are euphemistically called "canaries in the coal mine." But it also means that those in charge are unable or unwilling to accept and admit that something is wrong and that a course correction of some sort is called for. Instead, they react in typical political fashion by doubling and tripling down on their failures and attacking the people and groups which spring up in opposition to them..... which of course, only fuels the fires even more.

The problem is the decline, not the number per se. Socialist countries promise free everything and high standards of living, yet working people are the ones who pay for all that, and who make it all happen (ever-growing government spendings, free medicine, education, pensions, infrastructure, you name it). What happens when there’s fewer working people, but the expected output is the same? You pay more taxes while working (as if over half in the EU is not enough), get less/worse everything.

Debt per capita is a thing. Eventually it will crush a nation and said nation will default. When that happens, if said nation does not have the resources to maintain its modernity, it goes back pre industrial times. Thats why a shrinking population is bad. That means less demand, which means less of a need for workers. Which means less employment and so on and so on.

I love people from different countries, have friends and coworkers from all over the world, and the people who integrate and contribute to society is great.

The arguments against the Euro would work just as well against a common Italian currency or the US dollar for that matter. Commentators were telling us that the Euro's collapse was an absolute certainty and at a maximum 2 years away, and that was said 5-10 years ago. Not that it can't fail but the recent history has shown us that the Euro is indeed way more resilient than a lot of people claimed it to be. In the end what they did not comprehend was that the member states and the EU are ready to go as far as they need to go for preventing failure, in the face of crises. In fact the EU appears to be the strongest when the crises are the hardest and the weakest when crises are surpassed. Putin made the same mistake btw, underestimating the resolve of the EU. He thought, having Orban and Co is enough to have the EU just getting stuck in quarreling and doing absolutely nothing in response to the Russian war of conquest in Ukraine.

You need to take the phrase "Far Right" with a little caution. I`m in the UK, and we don`t really have a far right. There has been a drift to the left, and even the Conservatives are massively unpopular amongst their natural supporters for taking up the centre ground. "Far Right" has really become a form of abuse towards anyone who isn`t Left and "progressive". Like in Europe, our extremism now comes from the Islamists, who have been imported in droves by both main parties without any attempts at integration.

Same in America. The Republican party has always been pretty close to the center. Conservatives and libertarians have never been extreme in America. But in America, simply agreeing with the constitution and understanding hard work and responsibility. Lead to happiness and success makes you a right wing extremist. In America, anyone that disagrees with the Democrats is a right wing extremist. That’s the tactic of the left. They can’t justify and rationalize their progressive policies because those policies are destructive and terrible because they’re only trying to do is change culture to vote for them but they are fascist and authoritarian. The media and the Democrats in America are bat shit crazy, authoritarian, and very far left on pretty much everything. That’s why millions and millions of Democrats voted for Trump in 2020 and even more will vote for him this year. That’s why Tulsi Gabbard and Joe Manchin left the Democratic Party.

The conflict is that the politicians and economists know that their country needs massive immigration otherwise it will face massive economic collapse (because, as Peter mentioned, domestic birth rates have plummeted), yet their demographics are furious about massive immigration. So what do you do? Appease the voters and close the border, knowing it will cause massive economic collapse/recession? I personally would explain this dilemma to them, and then let them choose their path after coming from an informed place.

Really interesting what you comment but I think we forgot to mention that since mid 2010s crime rates went up and mostly were perpetrated by migrants (illegal ones, asylum, legal ones, etc). Every government posts the national statistics, you can check them yourselves, and they all show the same: from Norway to Spain. This is probably the main reason why Europe is turning right the way it does.
