Give fascists the finger and a few bullets in Too Many F*cking Nazis

Perfect timing. The rightwing party of germany just claimed almost 20% in one of the lands...🤮

Yesterday, the French municipal elections also saw a historic breakthrough for the far-right party, which openly aligns on nazis and fascists roots, helped (as right before the WWII) by the traditional right wing that fears a true left elected.

Sadly, it smells like our generation could be "all out of bubblegums" in the next decade in this mad world!

Has anyone ever stopped to ask those voting this way WHY? I don't follow European politics closely so I could be wrong about this, but from what I can tell the major voting point is immigration and the downstream effects (like increased housing prices as one example).

Add to this, people calling them Nazis for wanting something different than you might want will only exclude them and dig them into their positions. If you are an open-borders proponent (or whatever the issue might be), you won't change any minds calling people names and telling them they are wrong/dumb.

Extremism is created when there is a lack of communication, and I see this divide worsening as people seemingly refuse to engage civilly with one another. Futher, I am hesitant to call anyone extremist when they simply have a diffent opinion. Is it really extremist to want to stop immigration and deport some of the current immigrants? Compared to rounding them up and shooting them - an actual extremist view? You might not want that, but is wanting that (the deporting, not executing) really extreme? If so, can I argue that importing them is at the other end of extreme? That is an honest question. FYI I don't think either position is truly extreme.

Alot of these people tend to be misled by the goverment though.. "it's not our fault your life is shitty, its that immigrants fault"

Take Brexit here in the UK for example. Everyone I know who voted to leave was due to immigration.

Yet under the EU we could send illegal immigrants to the EU country they entered from, then brexit happened

Subsequently, the small boat crisis wasn't a thing pre-brexit, but not seen a single brexiteer who will acknowledge this and instead beat their chests and still act like brexit was a good thing.

Critical thinking needs to be used more with right wing parties, instead of being so biased about their opinions all the time

Oh please, fuck victim blaming and shaming immigrants or apologizing to that shit. Bigotry and xenophobia are bullshit regardless of anything that's going on. It's not the fault of any of the immigrants that imperialism has destabilized and/or brutally exploited and oppressed their home countries, forcing them to leave. Which is something that the petty liberals (Blair, Obama, and Genocide Joe, etc.) are all equally guilty of as the assholes in the right (Bush, the Orange Moron, and the Tories, etc.).

Quoting: eggroleExtremism is created when there is a lack of communication

No it isn't. Different political camps never communicated much and probably never will. Extremism is created when the system as it is fails to meet the needs of large and increasing numbers of people, when lives become precarious and even those who are doing all right fear that this might not be a stable situation. At that point, people look for someone to blame, and there are two basic answers:

Answer 1: Blame the people in charge. This is the obvious answer since the people in charge are, well, in charge. If things are screwed up, who else would be responsible? But this gets more radical if people notice that the current situation, bad for them, is actually enriching the people at the top (as it is today). At that point you start to think they're not just getting things wrong, they're screwing you over deliberately.

Answer 2: Blame groups who have no power, but who seem different. Outgroups, aliens, people who trigger xenophobia. This is the stupid answer--like how are these scapegoats supposed to have caused any of the problems--but it is the answer that gets the propaganda funding, because the people in charge really want everyone who's upset to believe it's the fault of anyone but them. And when people are afraid and angry, blaming the outsider is a strong instinct, so it works pretty well. But it is simply wrong, not to mention evil.

(It's particularly wrong in today's world, where if there are a bunch of immigrants it is because the exact people siccing you on immigrants ruined the countries people are fleeing, whether by war or predatory trade practices or coups and destabilization. For instance, if the US and Europe hadn't deliberately broken Iraq, Libya and Syria, the mass immigration to Europe from those regions would not have happened. Anyone who doesn't want lots of immigration, the last thing they should do is vote for fascists, because they're always militarists who will create crises that cause immigration.

[sarcasm] Well, and is rounding them up and shooting them really extreme? Compared to torturing them slowly and then eating them - an actual extremist view? [/sarcasm]
You can always pretend (X) isn't extreme if you can find a vile enough (Y) to compare it to. What's not extreme is justice and equal rights for all.
