    Same. Plus extended family. Plus my own mongrel heritage.

    Add cross-cultural to that mix for extra fun at Xmas.

    I hope she wins, but the last I heard she was behind and it wasn't close.

    Extreme right would be anarchy, as in, a free for all, no government whatsoever that drug addicts would dream of.

    Fascism can be seen (in wannabe infancy for now) at UC Berkeley today for example. You know, where violence is used to prevent an invited speaker from coming because the fascists on campus don't agree with it and therefore cannot allow an opposing view point to be heard.

    The only people who want socialism are the lazy, the ignorant, or the elite few who tend to benefit off the majority of useful idiots that buy their BS hook, line, and sinker.

    Nighty night, I have to get up awfully early to get to work so I can support my lavish lifestyle.

    Liberals are always offended. In fact, they're only happy when they're not happy. You know, they need a down for the struggle cause to whine and bitch about 24/7

    I think you are already showing signs of sleep deprivation in that post!
    You have no clue, just winging it, but you fool nobody.

    An alliance is one thing, but a world-wide super government is another.

    Plus, contrary to Leftists news, the people don't want their nations inundated with 3rd world savages who will live on the public's dime from cradle to grave, generation after generation.

    Progressives played too heavy a hand.

    People want a nation for themselves, made up of their own kind, with common values and goals, and they want it passed on to their children.

    Progressivism wants to pollute, regulate, tax, and redistribute wealth.

    A revolution almost always has wide spread economic hardship at its base. Too much power over the economy in the hands of a few robs democracy of its effectiveness. The present worldwide wave of expression of dissatisfaction for the existing political establishments is only the beginning. This is more visible in the well developed economies, because of the fact that in a mature economy the greed of the rich is more rampant, due to the smaller number of available new conceptual opportunities. Man’s pursuit of happiness is ever existing formidable force. History is nothing but a story of mankind’s pursuit of happiness. Only the means and methods keep evolving. This force initiates new currents in accordance with the perceived changes in the reality. Each new generation brings forth clearer perspective of the prevailing reality. The majority of the world population feeling safer than before (conquering each other has gone out of fashion in the world) has shifted its focus to achieving comfort. The biggest obstacle to comfortable living, the common man sees now, is the unjust distribution of wealth. As a result the demand for more profound socialism is forming in the mind of the world masses. Often, at the beginning, revolting masses are acutely aware of their pain but not clear about remedy. We are in the early phase of Karl Marx’s ‘Class War’. Unless the real underlying decease is addressed, treating the symptoms only with political adjustments will not mollify the masses. The citizens having louder voice in democratic governments, the democracies will lead the way, bearing the bigger brunt. Fortunately, since in democracies the spirit of law is not in cahoots with tyrannies, the revolution is liable to be less violent. But the descent is growing in size for sure. It seems like the next lesson on humanity’s curriculum is that, ‘unchecked commercial greed is detrimental to community’s happiness’.

    Trump, Brexit, Le Pen, India's anti-corruption Modi, and many other anomalies around the world point to this.

    Have you thought about emigrating to the middle east? Because this is what you are describing.

    Or Asia, or South America, or Africa.

    Multiculturalism is a plague that only the "White nations" suffer from.

    Nobody ever went to Kenya and said "hmm not enough Whites, that's racist, lets start redistributing our wealth to the Whites".

    How come?

    Enlightenment is not the work I would use. More like retreat into darkness. The EU is more sustainable today than the United States was when it was young.

    I am never ceased to be amazed by American Jews (the ones from the northeastern states) that play the butthurt card like they do. Israelis are actually ashamed of their attitudes. Can't say I blame them.

    Henry Kissinger isn't to be admired, he's the one who advocated for the arming of the Muhajeeden that eventually started this mess. If you want to blame anyone for the rise of the "far-right" Syndicalist revolution of the 21st century, blame him.

    It's the "defenders of democracy" who have destroyed democracy in their miserable attempts to advance and enforce it on the rest of the world, while not even establishing it here at home.
