Euro govts: It’s totally cool to genocide palestinians.

Euro govts: Why is our country filled with nazis?

As someone who lives in Austria and happens to have immigrant roots (parents came here in the early 90ies)

The rise of the far right is partly due to the incompetence of the other parties.

The social democrats are almost non existent when it comes to political topics of any sort.

The “greens” (mostly left) turned out to be kissasses with whomever they coalition with.

And the bitches-of-the-riches (that’s literally how they called themselves) well… they only act in the interest of the wealthiest.

So, “normal” people have almost no sane option to vote for, and some even go as far as to vote the far-rights as an act of demonstration.

Sure, there are other small parties to vote for, but at the end, they might get 3% all together, because they just din’t have the budget to advertise themselves strong enough, like the big ones do.

Not surprising, white nationalist movements were always there but only somewhat recently they stopped using extreme rhetoric in order to get more supporters, and it’s super effective. Nowadays you have even mildly exclusionary people who wouldn’t have supported white nationalists spout anti-immigration nonsense online and irl, voting for the far-right thinking they’re solving some issue that doesn’t really exist in reality and is massively overblown.

The world is going back to authoritarianism.

I think we are too far now from the generation that fought or grew up during WW2. I hope we aren’t doomed to repeat it.

After winning the EU elections in June, Austria’s far-right Freedom party (FPÖ) seized the moment, calling for the appointment of a EU “remigration” commissioner to be tasked with the forced return of migrants and citizens with a migration background to their countries of origin.

Jesus Christ.

You know what’s so funny about people who say we don’t want these people here and we should send them back? It’s that they fail to even ask or address the question of why those people uprooted their entire lives and left in the first place.

It would be fucking insane if they started deporting citizens.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

… time again throughout history, bad things and terrible ideas only come about due to the ignorance and inaction of individuals who think that a movement may be good for them but deep down know that they are not morally right, so instead they choose to do nothing in the hopes that their most secret thoughts and beliefs might come true but if they don’t, they can plausibly deny everything.
