Is there no right wing except fascism? I’d like to point out that the object of fascism is myth.

If the educated cover right-wing within a framework understood by everyone, no myth propagates.

It’s your default setting, no trust in reason, which pushes you to myth.

Good point about the paywall.

The picture above encompasses the range of colors from blonde to brunette. Go tell the third one from left that she should not be there because her complexion is more akin to that of the Middle East and you will have much success in convincing against Ms. Le Pen. It is as stupid argument as it is a non-starter.

Look, I despair, I truly, really do. There are scores of articles on the proper news portals right now, tackling the problem of fake news and how gullible people with no news analysis skills hoover these false stories up as fact, because they never learned how to distinguish between one news source and another, or between fact and invention. Read some.

And Google some more articles about Breitbart News, how it specialises in fake news and fake headlines as clickbait, how it’s run by and for the Far Right, and how its CEO, Stephen Bannon, was a key member of Trump’s campaign team and is now second-in-command to the chief of staff at the White House.

But I’m guessing that you didn’t read the article at all, that you didn’t have a link to the actual story (or you would have posted it here), and that you simply found these images on Facebook, where they are being passed around, and ate them up for breakfast.

I’m sorry if that sounds harsh, but really. We’re all supposed to be adults here.

How dishonest you are, posting cuttings while trimming off the masthead: this is Breitbart News, Trump’s home of fake news.

People flock behind extremist banners because that is their default position.

The hole in your argument is that you don’t recognise Muslims who are integrated because …they’re integrated.

In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia. Late 20th century - remember Yugoslavia?

What planet are you on, really? Russians, Ukrainians, Moldovans and Belorussians most definitely do NOT share the same “basic culture” as “the rest of Europe”. Russians and Spanish are at two extreme ends of the cultural pole. Russians have far more in common with Chinese and Trump-culture Americans.

The biggest problems in Europe have historically been caused – right into the 20th century – by Christians and other non-Muslims ripping each other to shreds, by Roman Catholics persecuting other types of Christians, and by, in Britain, Anglicans persecuting Roman Catholics. So really, what are you on about.
