Europe is an enlightened flame in a dark and savage world. Stand up to protect our continent, our culture and our civilization!

Many on the British right don't want to hear this, but Sadiq Khan is correct here. A majority of the British population supports rejoining the EU, and the left is already picking up this issue. On the right, only @cfdownes_ - to his credit - left the door open by suggesting that if the EU turns rightward then perhaps Britain should be part of it again. It's time for the British right to stop treating Brexit like some kind of epic victory for their side and face the truth. Leaving the EU has not just made Britain poorer, but also - Khan oddly enough failed to mention this - demographically less European, delivering the opposite squared of what it was meant to achieve. Moreover, Britain's foreign policy is now more reliant on the whims of either Washington or human rights lawyers, depending on whether the right or the left is in power, instead of deciding on issues together with its neighbours like before. Meanwhile, on issues that really matter like defense cooperation, Brexit seems to have had little impact as Britain simply keeps following the European line. As for the EU itself, the European centre-right has abandoned its long-held "firewall" against the nationalist right in Brussels, leading to the passing of a series of anti-immigration measures by the European Parliament that are stricter than those of many individual countries, including return hubs outside of Europe. Since EU elections work according to a proportional representation system unlike the UK's own "First-Past-the-Post", a rejoined Britain's MEP's would be overwhelmingly on the right, as they indeed were before the UK left the EU, and they would undoubtedly drag Brussels even more rightward. In short, a strong right-wing case can be made for Britain rejoining the EU, and I urge the British right - most likely to no avail - to start making that case. The left surely isn't waiting and is already making overtures to reverse Brexit, linking it to economic insecurity. The fact that the majority of people in Britain are against mass immigration in no way guarantees that this will always be the most important issue for them during elections. They might just as easily vote for someone who promises Rejoin. Combining those two positions would therefore be a solid electoral strategy, but I am afraid most of the British right isn't ready for this conversation yet.

All those Eastern European populists who hire and fly in the international right-wing griftosphere to shill for them are actually doing the opposite of what they claim. Instead of representing their own culture, they are symbolically contesting its uniqueness by reducing everything to a vague, global, americanised, quasi-Trumpian struggle "against the left" or "for christian values."

Given the fact a single human being like Putin has the power to cause a global apocalypse with the push of a button, perhaps AI has a point.

Like, Greta Thunberg didn't show up in Paris wearing a Palestine-scarf to join the protests because she deeply cares about the French school system, but because she saw videos of leftists and third worlders with Palestinian flags tearing the city apart.

The problem with the French student protests is that they are simultaneously a response to a legitimate concrete social issue and an outlet for much larger political and ethnic tensions. And unless you personally have to deal with the French education system, it is very hard to not view the protests through the lense of those tensions. This counts for both supporters and opponents of the protests. For many leftists, this isn't just a rally for better school funding, but a fight against "the system" at large, against the right, against racism or even against Israel, while for right-wing counter-protesters this isn't just about maintaining order, but a fight against, what they view as, traitors and invaders.

We support the patriot-side, but it has to be said that these are ugly and ominous scenes that truly begin to resemble an actual civil conflict.

It is a different situation only in the sense that it a much larger war of aggression, is fought mostly on the ground and takes place in Europe. Reluctantly condemning Russia's attack means nothing if you are fighting tooth and nail, and are even willing to cooperate with the far-left BSW, to starve the victim of that attack of aid. The rest of the AfD should take an example of @ogschrammi who understands where the sympathy of patriotic Europeans should lie in this war.

Now apply the same logic to Russia invading Ukraine.

Remember the day after Trump's first inauguration when he ordered his press secretary to proclaim that "these were the largest crowds of any inauguration in history, period"? That should have told you all you need to know about his bottomless narcissism.

Israel is run by a bunch of hothead idiots who keep squandering the credit they have painstakingly built over the decades. They look at a country like the UK where there is a large section of people who are sympathetic to Israel and they decide to support a ridiculous territorial claim on British territory by Argentina - which stupidly started and lost a war over it - just because the Israel-critical British left is currently in govt, thus alienating much of the British right.

I beg them to hand out "reparations" at the expense of actual normal citizens. That would be the one thing to push us over the edge, worse than 100 terror attacks.
