There are always those that, that despite ignorance and bigotry, feel that only they are suited to reign, and cannot accept equality … feeling that it is too bitter a pill to swallow.
“…Europe is currently awash in a flood of information pollution — distortions, propaganda and just plain lies. It should come as little surprise at least some of it is being pushed by Russia, which has a clear interest in sowing discord, discrediting democracy and undermining the European idea….Yet Russia is far from the only culprit. The evidence suggests that Europeans themselves are now the greater perpetrators. Most belong to far-right populist movements, though some also come from the extreme left. Most importantly, the boundaries between domestic and foreign disinformation are growing increasingly blurred, as both foreigners and locals happily exchange memes, myths and talking points.”
The extreme Right in Europe plays the victim card and works on fear. (Another example of the pattern of “Extremism in defence of the defence of freedom is no vice”—Barry Goldwater)
