Let's get real. Even Europe's extreme right leaders are excluding only small numbers of asylum seekers while accepting hundreds of thousands of equally brown but desperately needed foreign workers. Because Europe's extremely low nativity figures would tank the economy otherwise.

@mrundkvist I can talk for other extreme right parties, but the French ones are saying that they want to be able to "choose" their immigrants. Which is of course total bullshit, for the past 40 years (at least since Chirac became Prime Minister in 1986) immigration laws have become stricter and stricter. France already chooses its immigrants. Sadly the basic RN voter is not that bright, but is very racist and considers any non-white people as an immigrant, including non-white French citizens. ⤵️

Wait, the inhabitants of Provence consider themselves white? 😄

@mrundkvist So of course, they see immigrants everywhere, and they vote more and more for the extreme right.

Stupidity that's not going to end well.

@David @mrundkvist your causality here is broken. The countryside with not a single immigrant votes massively for the RN. I think there are even studies showing that RN vote is negatively correlated with the proportion of immigrants in the area.

@HydrePrever @mrundkvist Yes and no. In my hometown, there used to be very few non-white people (a few North Africans, almost no Blacks). A couple decades ago, the ENAP (the "national school of prison guards"??? https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89cole_nationale_d'administration_p%C3%A9nitentiaire) opened there. Most students (and teachers) are of North African descent or Black and nowadays my hometown truly is multicultural. Incidentally, the RN that used to get no votes is now the main party.

#Democracy is when half of everybody who gets to decide anything has sub-median intelligence and educational attainment. 🙄

@mrundkvist @David this is not a problem, never has been a problem. The billionaire owned TV channels, the deindustrialisation, the economic policy of the last 25 years, however...
