It's not democracy if it enforces conformity, if it uses the power of the state to limit choice irrationally. Democracy is about the protection of minorities, not the rights of majorities. That's why we opposed communism, and infiltrated, persecuted and banned communist parties when they were the main threat to democracy (often - but not always - funded by our international opponents). That's why we now oppose fascism, and should infiltrate, persecute and ban fascist parties (who are again often - but not always - funded by our international opponents).

We largely stopped child labour, and try to limit people from sexually exploiting them. There is nothing wrong with banning things and limiting freedom, as long as it for a sound reason. You can claim that ethnic purity or social conformity are a sound reason, but that's not acceptable in a western country. Part of that is our centuries-old (evolving) culture of human rights and personal freedom. But another part is our experience over the past two centuries of how bad ethno-nationalism and fascism always turn out. You're just an anti-western radical trying to destroy western culture.

[@mike42356]

​@@lacdirk actually, democracy literally means the rulership of the majority. Protecting the rights of minorities pertains to socialism. This is not a bad thing itself, though the claim that it is a democracy is a lie. It is a betrayal of the people by its rulers. More so, the problems of the minorities could have been solved way easier, but this rulership brought in more migrants, at its own initiative. Creating chaos, making more problems to solve LOL. True socialism (read: concern about peoples' rights and protecting minorities) would maintain order and work to minimise the problems of society. What they have done for decades now was the opposite. This "democracy" in the West is a scam. Never take things out of context. For example, providing housing to a migrant family is called protection. But you can do that only if you afford it. To take housing away from a local family is called violation of their rights.

Every country should be putting their citizens and culture first. Every single one. You can't complain about colonization and then cheer it in other instances. You can not protect some cultures but demonize others who do the same. It is not a logical or honest position to take and it does nothing to help people. It only creates resentment and a much weaker and divided country. You scream about rights, while trying to destroy others rights. It's simply gross and incredibly transparent.

I’m a black man born and raised in the USA(the reason I led with my race is because leftists here in the USA think that because I’m black, I’m suppose to be a leftist by default). I use to have a view of the world that was wayyy too optimistic until the September 11th attacks and everything that came afterwards. I’ve been visiting Germany regularly for the past 4 years now and all I ever see around Germany is graffiti idolizing Marxist ideology. Much like Germany, the USA has been flooded with unvetted illegal immigration. Legal citizens have the right to demand that their government spend their tax money constructively. Other than the culture aspect, legal citizens in the workforce who’ve paid into the system also have a right to say no to giving away valuable resources to someone who snuck in. It’s mind boggling to think that is so called far right. Keep believing the world is all unicorns and rainbows. You’ll eventually find out the hard way that it isn’t.

[@pieterveenders9793]

Exactly, all we want is to retain control over our countries, who get's to enter the country, what standards they have to abide by, and that they are forcibly removed if they don't. This is literally the law, and not just in theory but in practice, everywhere on earth. Yet only Western nations somehow aren't allowed to be sovereign. It's a common leftist ploy to gaslight those they don't like with terms like "racist", "xenophobic" and of course "islamophobic", but the truth of the matter is we (right wing nationalists) are none of that, if we were the streets would be full of dead muslims and other foreigners, yet in fact it's muslims and other non-Western migrants who are extremely disproportionately responsible for murderings others, instead of them getting murdered. The leftists and their cronies did the same thing in the US recently with the whole Haitian migrants thing, calling everyone who was critical of the Haitian mass migration or who outed their crimes as "racists", yet they seem to be oblivious to the fact that a large part of those who outed the Haitian crime waves and the problems the Haitians created in their communities were black US citizens themselves, so much for them being "racist".

The far left ceased to be a real threat when their foreign support collapsed. Now the anti-western foreign support goes to the far right. In both cases we have to fight the anti-democratic parties in order to preserve what makes the west a different and (generally) better place to live in. The AfD and its ilk would like Germany and other western countries to become authoritarian, conformist states, of which there are already dozens. They are profoundly anti-western, not just anti-democratic.

Unchecked immigration would always lead to something like this. We’re seeing it accross the world. People swarm into a 1st world country for a better life, the country is gracious to them by offering superior security, health, opportunities and infrastructure. Many immigrants then try to push their own culture down the throats of the host nation and its citizens rather than being grateful and melding with it to start a new life. This is mostly egged on by a far left party. All this leads to increased crime and a reduction in quality of life for everyone. Result, citizens turn to a far right party to, “correct” the swing which doesn’t always work.

The problem is, Right-Wing politics was abused in the 30s and 40s which eventually led to catastrophic consequences. In my opinion, the Right now shouldn’t be compared then.
