EU far-right parties rally in Madrid behind slogan 'Make Europe Great Again'
-
They want the 1950s without understanding that means buying a fraction of the amount of stuff most Americans have now.
-
They want before women started working in large numbers and before there were so many brown immigrants.
-
Europe is already great.
These guys are making it not great.
It's super simple.
-
And the whole "still recovering from WWII therefore nothing is available" thing.
-
Europe is already great
That REALLY depends on who you ask
-
People who are manipulated into only focusing on immigrants and how unfair the government is.
-
And the "rest of the world is devastated from the war, so there is no competition anywhere".
-
Europe is basically a long history of wave after wave of immigration.
So is the US, and it's even more recent. Don't seek logic in it.
-
Yeah, look in the Kremlin.
-
Actually, Europe has been, and still is, great. Of course, there's always room for improvement, but not with the nazis. They are super backwards.
-
Wow, original
-
This doesn't invalidate your point whatsoever, obviously, but what Le Pen exactly said is "Les chambres à gaz sont un point de détail de l'histoire de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale", which basically means that they do existed, but wasn't that big of a deal. Which in a way is actually even more insulting.
-
Yeah, mixing with those filthy homo sapiens was a bad idea...
-
You're right, I mixed it up!
-
“Fascism used to be really disliked, but now people have forgotten what was so awful about it. And that’s great for us.”

I don't know much about the history of anti-Semitism in Europe (so anyone feel free to correct me or add more info), but what I've been thinking is that the cause/origin of anti-Semitism is no different from the anti-immigrant panic from today. They both come down to people from a "foreign" or at least different culture coming into a society and getting jobs or opening business. It just so happens that now those foreign people are more diverse, whereas before (centuries ago in Europe) they were mostly Jewish.
This tells me we have learned nothing from our past except for the most surface level details. We learned that anti-Semitism is bad and beat people over the head with it, but we never properly addressed the roots of it, and so now the same thing is repeating but for different groups of people. It's the same sort of thing as when it is said that "people nowadays are more open minded", when the reality is simply that they were taught to be okay (or not) with certain things; but the bigoted though process has not really gone away.

Obviously this sucks, those asshole fascists can fall off a cliff but holy crap MEGA is a much better acronym than MAGA.
-
Wait. What? We're finally great, struggling to hold on, now MEGA wants to destroy it because they think world War 2 Germany was nice? We need more asylums.
-
If they were Nazis they would be marching down the street holding swastikas
...wait, fuck
-
Was thinking more about the African countries that are still the victims of Eurpean economic colonialism
