What matters to me is not if something is extremist but whether it is right or wrong in the first place - If I objectively proved that something extremist was right, would the fact that it is extreme in the current conjecture be the reason you reject it? I'm not really interested in nationalism as much as I'm in the destruction of the pseudo-political EU and the excuses it makes to propagate neo-liberalism, and whatever route must be taken I'll gladly support it as long as it's the least bad. I hope I don't offend you, but right now people who are causing the most harm to society are not far-right or far-left people, but moderate liberal politicians who worship corporations. Anything that gets us out of this infinitely self-destructive hellhole will have my support.(November 13, 2015 at 8:52 pm)abaris Wrote: Funny? The far right is despicable, but I already know, you're a big fan. It's not that I'm for unlimited immigration, it's only that I despise these rightwingers just as much as I despise these Islamist lunatics. It's not the Europe I voted for, if these abominations get their way. And no, I don't feel protected by them. The only feeling I get when they're talking about pulling up new borders, is a deep sense of revulsion. The EU can just as well pack up and leave, if it's reduced to economic liberty.
I seem to remember, you wanting to leave Portugal for the UK. Well, good luck with that under Cameron, who's even a moderate, compared to what raises their turd heads in the rest of Europe.
Europe teeters on the edge of a knife. We can only hope it doesn't go the way some people want it to. I've had quite enough of nationalism and feverous patriotism, as I assumed Europe had after the unfortunate incidents of last century. Then again, most people who lived through all that are now dead, and people seem to forget so easily.
Being realistic, you only have to do the math - If the majority of the population doesn't directly suffer from a far-right gov as much as from a centrist one, then they'll vote for that one.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
