Heartening to see nearly a quarter of a million people protesting in Berlin over the rise of fascism in Germany and the rest of Europe.

They have our support.

Our?

If they don't want another swing to the right they need to address concerns, not make their nation open-house. Protesting is all very well but votes go to those who promise to solve the genuine concerns of the population as a whole, not simply carry on as before, making the hash. No one needs extremism but that's what gets support when the existing authority fails to listen.

propaganda
information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view.



You think all the stories about the actions of some of the immigrants are not true then?

[Spicerack]

// and the head of the BDI industry association has said the economy could be hurt by a wave of nationalism.//

Lol, bet he did. Bainbrig endorses this^ message.

Ah, something went wrong. Advice is to try again. ;-)

Nothing goes wrong with that link OG.

Advice is you need to sort something out at your end.

From your link, BB
Far-right groups in the eastern city of Chemnitz clashed with police and chased people they believed to be foreign in August after the fatal stabbing of a German man that was blamed on two immigrants.


Isn't that PROPAGANDA?

[cassa333]

Both far right and far left have it wrong in as much as the FR is the polarised fears of the middle and the FL is the polarised liberalisation of society.

Neither end should dictate but they both try. And for the most part overall the FL wins and the FR are just noise and bluster.

If polititions truely worked for the people they would address fears without making those fearful feel less valid.

do they have my support? you can't speak for others. I am not suggesting i support the far right by the way, just saying...

[ToraToraTora]

Extremism is the inevitable consequence of over liberalisation. TROB must be very proud of their creation.

[ChillDoubt]

Standard for ultra-cosmopolitan Berlin.

You wouldn’t see those figures/percentages replicated elsewhere in the large German cities, I’d wager.

[youngmafbog]

I'd like to see someone define the terms facism and far right in todays usage.

On the whole it seems to be anyone who disagrees with the so called 'liberal elite'.

As Others have said above. Swings to the far left or right are pretty much always due to the ruling parties going liberal and ignoring the masses for their own agenda.

And you dont speak for me Bainbrig.

[bainbrig]

“And don’t speak for me Bainbrig”.

YMBog : I wouldn’t speak TO you, let alone for you!

[ToraToraTora]

tell you what YMB these lefties are a nasty bunch aren't they?

// Heartening to see nearly a quarter of a million people protesting in Berlin over the rise of fascism in Germany //

the problem is - more than 250 000 people are voting for fascists and ultras innit ? for the same reason the brits voted for brexit

I still laugh at the idea of more freedom when brexit comes
like you know freedoms of trade barriers
and freedom to apply for visas for travel to countries we just went to before

hey ho such is progress....

boys boys - no biting and scratching - -
did not Our Lord (*) say - little children love one another

(*) no not Lord Farage this time - he would have said - where are my MEP expenses - I love them!

[baza]

PP, what has Brexit got to do with it , nothing, just you still sulking about the vote not going your way.

[bainbrig]

Well PP, our lord didn't say it to me, at least not in relation to pondlife.

Do you think I'd get away with a Poll asking whether the right-wing loons have taken over Answerbank?
