Are you implying people who are trying to fight fascism and right wing extremists are fighting on the same level? What are we supposed to do? Just watch as huge parts of the population turn neo-nàzì?
Not out if rage. Nobody votes right because they were angry the left made a better country for us all. The left destroys Europe, that is why we don't vote for it.
Why ? It's very comparable... In Europe fascist can be much more mask off because they can have their party... The republicans have more power, but have to be more hidden
I am sorry is it wrong for two extremely fucked political landscapes to be compared? Nah tho seriously let the guy compare what he likes, so long as his reasoning is solid and valid.
@@markener4316 when it comes to crime rate per notonality you can not compare the EU with the U.S you cant say ohh but in america the mexicans do less crimes. because it isnt mexicans that immagrate to europe.
@@markener4316 but his reasoning isnt valid or solid. The immigrants that come to America are so completely different to the immigrants that come to Europe. America gets Mexicans and south Americans which come from Christian countries and dont really hate America or western values. Most of them want to integrate and be part of America Europe gets Afghans, Iraqis, Syrians, Somalis, Nigerians who hate Europe and western values. They harass European girls. Most of them dont want to work and are parasites on welfare. They create ghettos and put their blame on Europeans for their own misfortunes.
@@Notapizzathieflol, you don't gotta be racist towards black people to be facist. They can be mutually exclusive. If anything, a lot of that behavior came from the crusades.

Dunno about Europe, but here in India its almost all Fascist under Modi government. Sadly, we once were a Democracy and his paid IT cell will come ranting in the comment section if they see this.
Yeah i see alot of comments from india supporting the colonial land stealing apartheid state, though that could have something to do with the perceived "common enemy" narrative that has been spread worldwide. It aint easy being surrounded by stupid. Hang in there comrade ✊🏼
Again that bullshit crying that India is turning into 'dictatorship '😂you congress paid it cell never get tired of spreading this dictatorship propaganda😂
Speaking as a South African we have a lot of experience with xenophobia, and mob justice. The fundamental cause is a loss of trust in the police and the courts to do their jobs. The British riots can be seen in a lot of ways as a signature failure of conservative politics. Under the Tories, the police were defunded - this was part of Theresa May's legacy when she had that portfolio. It is significant that Rotherham was one of the flashpoints for the riots - that is part of the legacy of the events that led to the Rotherham Report, in which it was found that police didn't want the bad PR that would come from prosecuting Islamic rape gangs that prostituted British children. It is not correct, or helpful to claim that this is all based on nothing, because it provides no means of addressing the underlying problems that led to those riots. It also fails to account for a very important lesson from Rotherham - that the right does not deliver on its core promises. The right aren't particularly good on law enforcement, the conservative approach on immigration appears entirely ineffective at moderating issues that come from immigration. Indeed it is almost like cutting social services for younger, working populations and treating them as cheap labor to be exploited or cheap campaign bogeymen does not in fact result in safer societies.
I'm glad to see a fellow South African understanding the formation of fascism better than the Europeans in this chat. We have our own problems in our country. I know that we as a nation is exploited for our labour by the West.
@@OkamiZone by yourselves. not the west, is that what Julius Malema told you as he killed "the bread basket" that fed africa? or in other words white people who dared feed his people?
Rotherham was not a flashpoint for these riots. The real reason behind them was the tragic incident where a Black Christian man killed three young white girls-not anything to do with Rotherham. Now, let's talk about the hypocrisy. When Lucy Letby, a white nurse, killed babies in a hospital, no one rioted. When white British groomers target children, the same people stay quiet. This selective outrage is telling. The core issue behind these riots was the misinformation that falsely blamed a Muslim. Figures like Tommy Robinson, Andrew Tate, and Nigel Farage were spreading these false claims. It’s frustrating that some people are drawing conclusions without understanding the real reasons for the unrest. If you truly cared about your country, you wouldn't be out looting stores or damaging local businesses/houses. What did the riots achieve? Nothing. They didn’t help anyone, not the people who were rioting, nor the communities they claim to despise so much. At the end of the day, it’s just another example of divide and conquer. The wealthy benefit from the chaos, while the most vulnerable fall for it. Those at the bottom continue to suffer while the rich profit.
But at the same time, soviets seemingly failed harder at denazifying their part of the country: AfD voter share is significantly higher in former East Germany.

"Fascism is the logical result of the fact that the form of private ownership of the means of production can progress no further and must create violent crises, stagnation, and decay. Only the social organization of production can sanely organize production, and this can only come through social revolution. Fascism is an inevitable result of capitalism and its decay if the social revolution is delayed." - R. Palme Dutt (1936, Fascism And Social Revolution)
It's interesting how all the information about what fascism is comes from non-fascist sources. Consider what fascist leader Benito Mussolini has to say: "Modernity is the enemy of all that is human. The worker is an animal. He has lost his humanity. He has lost his will to live. The worker is a machine, and modernity has turned him into one. Fascism will save us from this nightmare." -Diritto al lavoro (the right to work) 1932 speech.
Having watched this video all the way through, i have to say that it doesn't add much to the conversation, and it's abundantly clear that whoever wrote the script is simply projecting american issues onto the european political landscape and has in fact no idea what they're talking about, aside from citing 70-year-old literature about WW2, which has little to do with today's situtation.
@@Levascus this video is essentialy that. hes schizo beyond sanity, how tf do you talk about "europe turning fascist" but you then show US? hes just angry that currently european leftists are the ones commiting war crimes and horrible shit like selling drones to terrorists like the current German goverment
Why am I not surprised ? Considering the fact that what happened at the Olympics, in addition to the history of European countries and its own issues with racist history, I'm not that shocked. Apparently what happened during world war II was something that the US wasn't the only country to just forget. Whenever wages have stagnated the blame is always placed upon minorities and never on the bosses. It's still sickening that this racist, bigoted crap keeps happening.
because we let it.... been over 100 years since we had a violent revolution in western europe... might be time to remind the owners that 99% of people hold more power than the 1%
Exactly. When capitalism fails, the people either falsely blame minorities or blame the people at the top and the system. Its our duty as educated people to fight the hatred
@@SunsetSecondary Sorry did you just say minorities and bosses are not at fault? I promise you... one of them is at fault... and it's not the minorities...

@@LoFiAxolotl Problem is "at the top" can have very different meanings. The "coastal elite" and jewish cabal with space lasers.

Not one was about Europe, where housing is unaffordable at best, because usually there’s just no place left for starters.

Yeah, it's getting worse. The Netherlands also took a swing even further to the right, and our government has been led by right-wing parties for a while now, even if they were nowhere near as extreme. It's quite simple, really. Capitalism is failing humanity on all fronts, but instead of blaming capitalism and the exploitation it depends upon, people point towards "outsiders" and "the left", and thus the country takes a turn to "the right". Sad reality is "the left" requires a deep understanding of context and nuance to explain why left-wing policies should be implemented, and most people just can't be bothered with context and nuance. So they try to find an easy solution instead, unwilling to admit that these "easy solutions" are the real problem.
The Netherlands has been ruled by right-wing parties since the Eighties. Even our so-called Labour Party is right wing. They do absolutely nothing for the labourers. The sad fact is that for those who are left-wing, there is simply no party to vote for. We can "choose" between right, farther right, or ultra right.
@@wouter.de.ruiter I'm sorry, but that's just not true. We can argue whether or not the left is left enough, but suggesting that parties such as GroenLinks, now merged with PVDA, SP and Denk are right-wing is just disingenuous. You don't need to be an outright communist party in order to be left-wing.
It's really not great. Limburg and Venlo in the south also has a lot of elements grafting their faith further into our already pretty 'normalised' right-leaning stances. Wish you the best friends
Most people would choose fascism if it's fairly easy to do. People want simple solutions, and the fascists have a bag full of them. They just want someone to handle everything for them.
That is what makes me hopeful though. The majority of people are not politically active, they will accept whatever system they live under. I hope that after a revolution most of the people will just keep going on living their lives and the right opposition will not be absolutely overwhelming.
@MCDreng That's pretty much what history shows us. The problem is, revolution is a rather hierarchical beast, and leads to more hierarchy. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
The Patriots for Europe website is the perfect analog to far-right movements. All colorful imagery and bluster with absolutely no substance to its underlying purpose.
The EU is a neoliberal technocrat dictatorship and the establishment "left" abandoned fighting for the workers and became neolibs as well so the fascist turn was totally predictable and maybe even planned.
Immigration is needed to support the workforce, but saying immigration is NEVER bad is just as shortsighted as saying immigration is ALWAYS bad. It is a complex thing that needs to be balanced. This video is lacking the usual critical unbiased reporting im used to from this channel
Precisly my take I have zero problem with immigration so long as its regulated and any bad immigrant is emmidiatly send away from where they came from Leaving the door wide open for all is asking for trouble. Much like feeding animals eventually if you dont give any they can become pissed
@@beerten202doesn't sending "bad" immigrants away cause other problems too? 1. Not every place immigrants come from is safe. 2. If you are talking about people that do violent crimes, I don't think they are going to stop doing that once they are back in their home country, right? So sending them back doesn't help if you think about it globally. Maybe I am wrong on that, don't have any data, those are just thoughts.
Im sorry? In denmark we have about 4000 in prison. And more than 44% of the the convicted is immigrants. Even though they only have little more than 10%. And we are tired of feeling unsafe, stole Bikes with no one fixing this billion dkk issue. That is only getting worse and worse year by year...

Wrong. there has always been a strong right wing (=conservaties), but now the far right is rising. I think it makes sense to distiguish between right and far right eventhough I am strongly against both. If everyone is an asshole, nobody is an asshole anymore, so it only benefits the far rights

Fascism never left for long. It came back in 1948. The core of facism comes from pleasing arms producers and trying to hide class divide behind nationalism.
3:00 how is immigration always okay? When infrastructure hasn't been built and housing is in short supply how is this okay? Billionaires want massive immigration to drive down labour costs and increase the pool of unemployed people competing for limited jobs. The destruction of urban environments and the removal of parklands in my city is a direct outcome of unprecedented immigration numbers. Traumatised people from the Middle East dumped here really struggle with culture shock too. So is all immigration really a good thing?

Not quite "all across the UK": these protests were limited to England and Northern Ireland, and there among the unionists. Wales and Scotland had, at most, minor events where the counter-protestors vastly outnumbered the anti-immigration groups. This seems predominately to be an English problem, which unfortunately overshadows the other three nations.

I've noticed on the ground they're talking about EU in national terms. "Protect the borders/culture/people." They went from euro skepticism a few years ago and wanting nothing to do with it, to rallying around it as an identity and political block. Pretty fascinating, if somewhat ironic.
It's a logical progression of the European idea, and a testament to the fact how much of Europe is actually made up of immigrants. Nearly a third of the people in my hometown are foreigners, and two thirds have some kind of migrant background. And a lot of those are the most ardent supporters of the far right's anti-MENA racism. It's not too different from how in US history, Irish and Italian Americans went from being the targets of racism and classism to being active and gleeful participants in racist discrimination.
Ah yes. Europe is one country, somehow "the EU turned right" while e.g. the Sweden Democrats collapsed, we're all as bonkers as the English while ignoring the *massive* counter-protests the English did all on their own, unprompted, and, goshdarnit, citing a paper on the economical impact of immigration... *in the US*, which has a completely different economy and a completely different set of immigrants. No, an illiterate 21yold Syrian (Syria's education system collapsed during the civil war) is not going to have a net economic benefit to our economy. Yes, we should still take such people in, teach them skills, so that at least a portion of them will rebuild their countries once things look better. No, we should not pretend like some kind of neoliberal that it's economically beneficial, but rather sort it under developmental aid and general humanity. Truly, you have out-yanked yourself in this one before five minutes are over.
The Sweden democrats didn’t “collapse” in the EU election. They didn’t lose as single seat in the EU parliament and went back only about 2% - primarily due to low voter turnout and skepticism of the EU with many right wing voters that don’t even bother voting, alongside that many SD voters are also pro EU and support the party on the national level, but not EU level (for example regarding being opposed to Swexit, pro Ukraine, pro Climate, and different policies on economy/farming etc). SD always underperforms in the EU and local elections compared to the national elections
Czech Republic mentioned let's goooo 🇨🇿 Even though far right is rising in my country, the real problem is our neoliberal government doing austerity politics which is already ruining future of our country.
And also our left being non-existent as a force of revolugion, because the communist party (KSČM) has become filled with opportunists and doesnt have any other agenda other than "Russia good, America bad and we dont like migrants". And are using the name communist, just to get support from the old people that think theyre gonna turn time back to the "good old days"

A lot of people who understand how wealthy countries exploit weaker ones by extracting their oil, minerals and natural resources to bring them over to the west seem to have forgotten the slave trade and that humans are also capital, imported and exploited in a similar way. The difference from straight up kidnapping slaves as done earlier, they now create inhuman circumstances in the native country of the slaves through wars, sanctions, usury and economic wars so they force the wanted cheap labor leave "voluntarily".
I would have loved for you to pick out sources actually showing the numbers for Europe instead of the US - not because I disagree or anything, but because as a European, I would've loved to have some facts to point towards when discussing these topics
the problem is that the statistics from europe are hard to find, the only country who publishes really specific information about the economical impact of foreigners discriminating by region/country of origin is denmark, and based on that they have the most strict inmigration policy in the EU. This video has information about Europe ruclips.net/video/mNZ67cVp6ic/видео.html it is way less biased and manipulaive than second thought's video, who also dont have a word about the left coalition wining just with the help of an strategic alliance with the evil neoliberals from macron block
I lived in both Denmark and Sweden, and I can say that the Danes handled the immigration thing pretty good. Because unlike Sweden, Denmark made sure that immigrants should conform to Danish norms and values, and they should also learn the language and start working as soon as possible. It's not perfect ofcourse, but the results speak for themselves.

A little fun fact about French politics: Jean-Marie Le Pen, Marine Le Pen's father, has been pushed away from the party by his own daughter due to him being a bad look during the phase of de-demonization, most notably because of his numerous anti-semitic and h0locaust denial comments (that actually got him convicted for hate speech), as well as his affiliation to actual n4zis he founded the party with. And THIS MAN is being labeled "the man who was right too early" by some French media... the same man who was ejected from his party for being too openly discriminatory towards the people who aren't the current far-right scapegoat It tells you all, they all know that the party's mentality hasn't evolved, hasn't gotten "less extreme", they know it's a facade and yet it somehow works...
This is quite hypocrite as jews in france openly call themselves antisemite ( if you search a bit on youtube you can find compilation of it ), “massacreur” (slaughterer), openly say they come to france only for money and that french peoples should have theirs throats slit on the spot and that “islam is the broom of israel”, openly call for the genocide of palestine (and also it's eradication - in theirs own words -) call palestinians a cancer and complain about “the poison of democracy” and “how everyone should be united by one goal and ideology”; then they openly allow azov into israel and allow them to pray to the wall (with barren chest exposing theirs tattoos too) and become “jews” ( yet to keep theirs nazi imagery) (also israeli soldier love to upload picture of themselves holding nazi flag ); There is also a jew that did a carbon tax fraud, and he bragged on “touche pas a mon poste” that jews control the judicial system, he also did a nasty “joke” on how he “steal from the rich” as a reference to the christian bible and how it states that “christian are rich, but they do not know it”, in fact jews in france quite often bash the bible or say it is nonsense (you can find compilation of it). Oh another example is that there was a french jewish mayor (therefore paid by french peoples taxes money )who stated “i do not care about retirement ( of french peoples), i care about israel”. Another example is how they had the french president celebrate the hanukkah at the elysee and light it even though the french government is supposed to be separated from religion ( of course it's a lie as it is profoundly freemasonic and jewish at its core , even the french national anthems is a hymn from a jewish song ) Another quite impressive example is netanayuh drone strike in france and how he went here and said “we cannot allow terrorist in our territory” implying that france is israel property / territory. Another example is emmanuelle wargon a jew who was the minister of the ecological transition, and she stated “the nonsense of the individual house” while she own a million-euro house in a rich quarter.(she of course meant non “elite” do not deserve to own houses). So your stuff is reverse accusation, french politics is already profoundly facist at its core, the idea is that politicians / rapecultist are God incarnated on earth and above the laws, that they can do whatever they want, that accordign to theirs own word they are “sacred”, that theirs children's are betters and need to go to private schools, that they are “the Gods” and that the non them / peoples who disagree with them are “les inutiles”.(the useless). The le pen are just a boogeyman as they eat in the pot like the others, an artificial scapegoat. So of course peoples can easily be manipulated as it is true that jews hold tremendous power over france , have special status that allows them quasi infinite hate speech and genocide speeches, are part of the “sacred” “Gods”, but they themselves are just a branch of rape cultism.
This is basically how all the European far right parties operate. Most of them are steeped in generations of Nazis or Fascists, but adopt plausible-deniable rhetoric to cover that up, and people are either ignorant or flat out don't care because all these 3rd generation Nazis publically claim to hate the same people they do.
The halo effect is when your judgement on someone is impacted by the groups that surrounds the person, the horn effect is when your judgement is impacted by a single negative or positive characteristic. The halo effect does not apply here for the RN does not surround the LePen family they are part of it, they are the leaders of it actually, so it's direction is a direct indicator of the LePens moral values. The horn effect also doesn't really apply since Jean Marie has been condemned multiple time for hate speech, toward different groups it is not unjustified to consider him an hateful bastard
I often see left leaning and right leaning channels ignore talking points from their opposition and talking about why their problems might be wrong, tackled incorrectly, understandable but need more work or other things. You're not gonna convince anyone if your talking points are weak, you use american analytics on an European subject, you're clearly only showing left based sentiments and more. If you actually put more effort in your talking points you might actually make people more intrigued in your point of view when they're indecisive.
You’re totally right on that. I’m not sure it’s because he is so biased and indoctrinated or if it’s because he sold out and he wants to make sensationalist videos for the algorithm. That’s why I stopped watching and found some better sources. I love socialist ideals, but as a pragmatic, i tend to care about "details".
I can speak for what i saw happening in my country Italy but i bet is the same all over Europe. Voting left or right is gradually becoming irrelevant because people in power have personal and corporate agendas to pursue, while fomenting their voters base with slogans. The left speaks everyday about justice, fair wages, taxing the rich/big corps, helping working class, promote legal immigration but when they are in power none of those things are done, everytime with plausible excuses: the covid, the war, is not the right moment, economic stability comes first etc. The right have the same excuses but gathers vote talking about sticking to "traditional values", security policies, reducing taxes for small businesses, not getting told by EU what to do with our money etc. No matter what colour is in power but you can bet at some point someone will make it dirty and protests will start: the left accusing the right of being fascists, racists and controlling the news the right accusing the left of doing communist policies (everytime at some point someone is accused of taking money from Russia/China or whatever fits) and being laxists on immigration control. The outcome is always the same, youth and many other people gather to protests and the police beat the shit out of them, always with the same excuses: there were infiltrators from extreme right groups, there were violent protesters, there were infiltrators from radical left groups. All this game repeat itself until the next elections, where the winning party can always say that they cannot realize electoral promises because the government before has done X or Y. In the meanwhile we are losing welfare state policies, health system is shifting towards private sector, key infrastructures are missing N° by a lot (some are done spot to convince the voters base before regional/local elections), industrial policies are non-existing, the rich come to our country to hit and run on some companies because they know the government needs money. To broaden the talk to EU, what has changed with last elections? Nothing, the same people as before are in power, foreign policy is managed by the US that decide how EU money are spent (and what nation won't have access to cheap gas anymore, i guess) We are slowly accepting the pervasive control over the news both on paper and on the internet, and the censoring of whoever is labeled as the enemy of democracy (anti-EU, anti-vax, or anti-israel, who knows who's next?). Its sad to say it but the only rational reason to vote a party instead of another is if you can benefit from it economically. There is no solution to this situation in Europe, stop voting seems the only way at least to withdraw my approval of whatever will be done by the ruling class. They will do it no matter what happen. Someone thinks that if the voters base goes below a certain % amount there will be an uprising of the people against the tyrants; i used to believe this but at this point they can get away with whatever.
As a European I agree with what you said, and I feel it really mirrors well why people are so fed up with politicians now. Why vote a moderate party when they won't enact half their program because they had to share the council with the opposite moderate party? It feels like a clown circus at times. I'm Austrian and we had the green party in council together with our liberals. Before they got into council, the green party had a record vote of I think 16%. Now they are under half and might not even get over the minimum vote count to take part in the parliament. It seems that this keeps happening since decades, but only one thing never changes: the liberals will always be be part of the head.
This is the only rational and sane comment in this whole comment section. Unfortunately, it will get drowned out by the more extreme and radical comments.
I'm from America and it's the same way there. It's increasingly obvious that democracy is and has always been a scam-- we are free to vote for whatever we want, as long as it's what bankers and Wall Street want. It's their policies that get implemented 1000% of the time by all factions, year after year, while fake fights over "social issues" like birth control and gun control are dangled like puppets to keep people keen and donations flowing. It's all just a scam as various companies aim to pillage the earth and drain our tax money into their private accounts.
In what countries have actual left wing parties been in power and not done left wing policies? It sounds like you're just blindly parroting centrist BS tbh.

I bet Asain countries like Japan WISH they could have people move there.
French person here, i'm here to give a little more context for the 2 elections in france talked in the video: The first vote, which was the European election, ended up like that for a few reasons. Firstly, there has been a big push for the normalization of the RN these last 10 years or so thanks to Marine Le-Pen. Secondly, there is a lot of people that have lost confidence in the system, so it made a lot of people on the left not vote, and some of them voted for the RN either as a vote of contestation or because, in their own words, "on a jamais essayé" (we never tried it). Without getting into details, this phrase is naive at best and malicious at worst. After the European election ended up like it did, Macron dissolved the National Assembly and left only 2 weeks of preparation before the vote on the Legislative election. Unfortunately, even with Macron getting a "Everyone disliked that" moment, people didn't think they could enact change in the system, so, even if there was less absentees, there were a lot of votes of contestation for the RN. After people saw the disaster that was the first round, people tried their best to block the RN, including people who did votes of contestation. There is a lot of stuff that i'm leaving like how we've operated without a prime minister for more than a month thanks to Macron deliberately doing the Legislative just before the Olympics to divert and calm people from the problem he created himself, but i gotta stop somewhere. Of course, this isn't meant to be an exhaustive and i have my own biases, so take what i said with a grain of salt. PS: Might as well say that the French Socialist Party is pretty bad. I've heard them be described as the "gauche molle" (soft left) and that's pretty much it. Socialism is really good but the French Socialist Party isn't.
French is my first language, and thus, I'm often educated about the politics of the French republic. I'm glad that you were able to summarize the current electoral situation over there in a comprehensive manner for those who aren't informed (even from a socialist perspective lol). I heard lots of harsh commentary on the Rassemblement National's policy against immigration, and the preservation of French values, but media bias is too prevalent nowadays, so it's better to view everything with skepticism.
@@crimsonhermit9383 the RN was founded by ex-Nazis, and, up until 10 years ago, it had some really appalling speeches. People who think the RN has softened are being deceived by Le-Pen, who has just redirected the party's idea to be more in line with what people think it's "ok" to vote for. They're just hiding their real intention to get elected, and then they'll reveal their real policies. The far left is no better. But because people want easy solutions and do not check the facts, they fall into a spiral that leads them to vote for extremes. We're currently in a situation where everyone has forgotten to consider that if we vote for the extremes, it could be 1933 all over again. History is taught in schools so that we do not make the same mistakes again. But it seems that the whole of Europe has already forgotten what happened. Besides, not having a prime minister isn't as big of a problem as people think; it prevents the government from making a bad decision, but at the same time, the country can still run normally. The Belgians had the same situation for two years, and their country didn't collapse.
@@Weromano yes but a soft left gov will never achieve much as they tend ot be here for their careers and thus are huge reformists. We see that the proletarian is voting more and more to the right : that's an effect of this "soft left" or fake left. When they are elected they don't do much, people feel bettayed, so next time they vote RN
@@Lamster66 Simple. The conservatives were so corrupt, inept and discredited, the media gave up trying to hide it. The far right reform party split the right wing vote. I should point out that reform is just far right as opposed to extreme far right or fascist.
Of course, immigration is a net gain for the USA. The US receives many highly skilled and well-educated immigrants. Clearly, their contribution is a net gain for the US. Also, it is much easier for the ordinary immigrant in the US to blend in with the melting pot because they are more culturally similar to their hosts. Also, with the exception of the UK, it is much more plausible to expect an immigrant to speak English than a language that is not even spoken by 50 million people worldwide. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of European immigrants. What is the net gain of accepting proportionally more immigrants from third world countries? It is sad to see how poorly the integration of migrants from Afghanistan, for example, has worked in Europe. I hardly know any Afghans, and I suspect that many of them hardly know any locals. Whether this is the result of a lack of effort by the immigrants or a lack of integration efforts by European politicians, it is safe to say that immigration from the US is not comparable to immigration from Europe.
This was a very biased and weird video.. Citing sources form the US while talking about Europe is just absurd and no, immigration is not always good. There are so many aspects of immigration it cannot simply be labeled as "always good". Ridiculous.
This video is wrong on so many levels. 1.)Firstly, most of the statistics you showcase, such as the one about crime differences between immigrants and natives or the one about contributing to wages, are from the US. That is just stupid considering this video is focusing on Europe that has a wildly different immigration situation than the United States. That statistic is just untrue in terms of European immigration. To disprove your claims I will mostly use Sweden as an example, a country that was once regarded as a heaven on earth, low poverty and crime, with a very high HDI. So we have Sweden where immigrants, particularly from the Middle East and Africa, are significantly overrepresented in crime statistics. A study covering 2002 to 2017 found that 58% of criminal suspects were immigrants, with even higher percentages for serious crimes like murder and robbery.; Murder, Attempted Murder, Manslaughter: *Immigrants were suspects in 73% of these cases.* Robberies: *70% of suspects were immigrants.* A 2020 analysis by the Crime Prevention Research Center found that every 1% increase in Sweden's immigrant population was associated with a 3.6% rise in the homicide rate. In correlation with uncontrolled immigration Sweden, as of 2024, has the *SECOND HIGHEST* amount of rapes per a 100k people IN THE WORLD, such a number was impossible to even imagine before. Also, if you want search up the Cologne(a city in Germany) New Year Eve rapes. It was very a hush hush situation where the mainstream media and police tried to protect immigrants who sexually assaulted thousands of women in one night. 2.) While immigration CAN be good(definitely not always true as you claim), illegal immigration should be stopped at any cost. Over the 10 years from 2012 to 2022, about 41 million people immigrated to the European Union, and of those about 3.8 million, over 9%, are estimated to have done so illegally. 3.) It is also untrue that immigrants contribute to higher wages, another statistic you seemed to take from the US. They drain money from social welfare and do not contribute to higher wages, as showcased in the following examples; A 2020 report from the Danish Ministry of Finance indicated that non-Western immigrants had an employment rate of about 58%, compared to 82% for native Danes. This lower employment rate among immigrants contributes to their higher dependency on social welfare and less contribution to the tax base. The German Institute for Economic Research found in 2021 that non-EU immigrants had an employment rate of around 55%, compared to 75% for native Germans. The Migration Advisory Committee in the UK reported in 2020 that a 10% increase in the proportion of immigrants in the labor force reduced wages for native low-skilled workers by about 2%. 4.) If you have any questions I will do my best to answer in the comments since this comment is already too long I will stop with disproving the false claims in this video here.
Honestly the immigration is good article he got is honestly far from the truth in my eyes. Plenty of illegal immigrants cause murder and partake in the drug trade. Our southernmost state of Texas had to reinforce the Mexican border themselves because our government is ran by the same generation that are skeptical of cellphones. Although I agree that racism is bad just because we don't want immigrants doesn't mean we are racist.
@@heartache5742exactly, and in the uk case it’s because the tories halted economic growth, meaning there was less money to go around and when the immigrants came, the tories blamed it on them instead of their handling of economical issues
1) If a study done in the US demonstrates that the boiling point of water is 100C, do you think we need a different study done in Europe to determine whether the boiling point of water is 100C in Europe too? If you don't think so, then your criticism here is incoherent. Just cuz Europe has a different "climate situation" than the US, does not negate factual consequences of specific actions. Similarly, studies done in the US about immigration (the ones I've seen at least) do not rely on the specific system of immigration the US has. Also you only cited *suspects* not *convicted* people. Your numbers can just as easily be explained via bigoted profiling, they do not prove what you think they prove. There is no evidence of anywhere in Europe the police "tried to protect" would-be assaulters, you've just bought in to empty right wing talking points. 2) This makes no sense. Illegal immigration makes up a minute portion of virtually any country's annual immigration numbers. Not to mention that them being illegal doesn't harm society, which makes your suggestion that it must be stopped "at any cost" completely ridiculous. 3) Firstly, see 1). The studies being done in the US do not mean the conclusions are only valid in the US. This isn't how (economic) studies work. Your cited data from Denmark/Germany does not support the point you were trying to prove. Even if a specific sub-group of immigrants (you conveniently left out overall immigrants) rate is lower, this does not logically then suggest that immigrants overall "do not contribute to higher wages", or even that specific sub-group. This is a non sequitur. Whereas your data from the UK is at least trying to support the claim, it too is cherry picked and therefor invalid. It can both be true that low skilled workers get lower wages as a result of a 10% increase in immigration, as well as that overall workers get an increase in wages (or at least no reduction). I think its clear you've bought in to right wing lies and didn't stop to critically think about what they were telling you.

You cannot compare America to Europe regarding the impact of migrations across the continent. First we are already separated by one thousand years of imbeded conflicts and cultural markers. It took 2 great world wars to finally give a sense of purpose and union at very very thin level of trust. Unrestricted migration under the guise of asylum/human rights/economical reasons, puts a high stress level on the local population, that is trying to accomodate this people. This is happening not over generations, NO. This is happening RIGHT NOW during less than a lifetime, that spans multiple generations. The economic factors are great in the short term but desastrous in the mid to long term, because we are not injecting qualified man power in the economy. Europe doesnt not need a 1Billion more uber drivers, im sorry. But most of all its the cultural aspect. You see Europeans are very tolarable people overall. Like i said in the begining we are all very different to begin with but the common denomitor we all have is the moral code and human decency that allowed us to evolve into better societies. We spent the last 10 years injecting cultures that do not believe in evolving or in integration at the expense of the our own traditions culture and moral values. We dont mind sharing our toys, but we wont tolerate that someone takes them and replace them by their own. The rise in the far right is the OBVIOUS result to a symptom that could not be solved with a open arms and free love and free social help policy, just ask Sweden :) There is rethoric and there is reality, and reality has come finally to colect the rethorical debts, of years and years of ignoring the peoples of europe and their concerns. So please next time you compare the USA emigration with Europe think about this. Imagine every state you have speaks a different language, and have different cultural behaviours, and now let all the latin america join in the mix because we are all human beings entitled to have the best life possible regardless of other people existing.
why are people migrating?? Did you ask that yourself? Because the west is exploiting and bombing and stealing from these countries. Just take colonialism as an example, if it werent for colonialism prior colonized countries would have a better and more stable infrastructure and more wealth. The lack of such motivates people to migrate for example. Europe has brought it on itself 😹😹 sorry but thats the least of consequences you have to bear for building your own wealth at cost of other nations
Cost of living is unsustainable, crime is on the rise fast, economy stagnating, working class divided and radicalised, illegal immigration out of control. People are tired of this circus. Meanwhile, this guy: "Could this be fascism?"
The average leftist is searching for Nazis and fascists under his bed and the average right winger is searching for Communists under his bed. That’s why left wing and right wing are Siamese twins.
"Immigration is good" Only if that immigration comes from planes, and no from land or river, is a fact that muslims and african immigrants in europe tend to care less about the people and culture of the country they move in, also, the mayority of thouse immigrants want their culture and religion inside of europe. I think is fair for europe to want their culture protected from bad immigration
@@eVuLeX just search statistics of crime in europe by ethnicity, also if you are local, you may get a first hand view of that, i don't support violence to immigrants too but they didn't have to arrive at such scale in the first place
I would say that is hyperbolic. If you hyperbolically make everything fascist you just empower actual fascists. Harris is certainly a neo liberal but she is not fascist.

@@DiakosDelvin Uh no. Complete opposite. Immigrants usually get better welfare benefits than their native counterparts, alongside taking lower wage jobs that a young native-born inhabitant could be taking to make some money on the side while doing school and such.
"fascist" (thumbnail is nazism, different thing) "the statistics" (shows US ones over Europe) "immigration is allways good" (while saying blacks get paid less.. and brought into the country.. to work heavy labour like farming.. starting to sound alot like 1810s America to me)
I think you're missing the European dimension of the immigration issue. Most of your referenced studies on it were also conducted in America and are not necessarily applicable to Europe. The idea that immigration is a unilaterally good thing and immigrants cause no issues may be true for the US, but it's demonstrably untrue for Europe. Statistically speaking Muslim immigrants in Europe do commit more crime for instance. That doesn't mean we should be profiling them all based on that, but it's still true. What's also true is that in Denmark it's been shown that MENA immigrants are a net tax drain for the state. This is important to acknowledge because if we argue on premises that just aren't true, people will notice the truth and they will distrust everything else you say too. Similarly if an argument relies on false premises, it isn't very credible. A lot of immigrants have to cross an ocean to get there, meaning no one is crossing on flimsy boats. The people who can make it to the US at all are generally already financially better off, and often well educated. Immigration is also much more controlled as a result. Basically the only uncontrolled illegal immigration occurs from Mexico, and it's not especially difficult for Mexicans or Latin Americans to integrate into American society. Gone are the days in Europe as well when anyone would seriously complain about "Polish plumbers", and the recent Ukrainian refugees have caused no problems nor provoked strong reactions either. At the same time, America has the advantage of being an English speaking country and a lot of people already speaking English, not to mention America projecting immense cultural influence and everyone being at least somewhat Americanised. Furthermore it's a country which treats its idea of nationality and national identity as a creed and the foundational mythos of which is on some level an "immigrant country". European countries all have their own language, which may or may not be spoken or learned by recent arrivals. Furthermore Europe is made up of nation states, where "nation" is implicitly understood to refer more or less to a people of a common language and ancestry, at least that is how these nation states were generally founded. While it may be positive to try and change that perception, people can have intense emotional reactions to that. The first step to reforming an entire national culture and identity is understanding it. Simply ignoring it is going to result in violence.
Just the beginning of your comment proves your racism and right wing or far right wing stand. We have the same in France ... Based on nothing but your own biases. There are studies that proves your wrong. But you'll say this is leftist militant studies ...
As a french, not a far right lover and pro EU, I can tell you that I totally agree with having more military spending to build an EU army, and finally get rid of the American leadership over Europe. So no, sorry man, this is not a valide con against far right since it is shared by many of us who are not and whish for a strong, democratic and autonomous EU. And regarding laws against islamic separatism, you clearly don’t understand french society. We are a very less religious society with a strongly laic government, so the integration of very religious people, with a religion involved in weekly terrorist attacks, does require extra care and supervision (as we did for christians in early XX century when they threatened the republic to bring back royalists in power). We believe in science, not religion, and immigrants should either agree with this aspect our culture or leave. We struggled too hard through history to free ourselves of religion just to see it threatening again our society.
@@holomurphy22 Secularism is freedom OF religion. This means not having a state religion and everyone is free to believe in whatever imaginary friends they want. Laicite on the other hands is freedom FROM religion. It includes the core ideas of secularism, but it's more radical and involves policies to actively combat the influence of religion as much as possible (eg bans on religious icons and clothing in schools). Laitice developed from the experiences of feudalism and the ancien regime, and is a result of the French finally liberating themselves from religion through violence during the French Revolution. All religion is archaic and dumb, so I find the French concept of freedom from religion quite enviable. Especially in light of both the increase in islamism throughout Europe thanks to unrestricted immigration and also christian fundamentalism in the US.
@@Klongu_Da_Bongu Who exactly are these unelected officials who will quell dissent? The 3 core institutions of the EU are the parliament, commission, and council. Parliament is elected directly by the people, and has been every 5 years since 1979 (while also steadily increasing in power compared to the other 2) The council consists of the national governments of each EU country. They are each appointed through democratic processes according to the various national electoral systems. The commission, which is the executive, is appointed by the parliament after the council proposes a list of candidates to parliament. In the end, much of the power is held by an elected parliament. The council plays an important role since they propose the commission president (the parliament's lack of right of initiative is certainly a valid point of critique), but we must not forget that the council represents the democratically legitimised national governments of member countries. The notion that the EU is led by unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats may have been true some decades ago, but as the different institutions grew in power, they also became increasingly democratically legitimised. To ignore this fact is simply falling for propaganda.
So when are we going to admit that our privilege comes at the cost of other areas of the world's poor conditions, cheap labor and us draining their resources? We really can't act like we're not doing something evil preventing immigration. We don't really deserve this, we didn't really earn it, we just got lucky being born here and they didn't.
@@albert2006xpwhat are you even talking about? Europeans literally build everything they have. The richest European countries never even had colonies. Scandinavia or Switzerland never had colonies.

This guy is a clown for making statement like that. He just believes that there is no difference between the immigration issues in Europe compared to the US.
"Immigration is not a bad thing" said an American, whose country was based on immigration. We have societies built for more than 1000 years now, we can integrate separate individuals, yes, but not entire communities of millions of people completely different from our own.
The contradictions are heightening at a rapid clip. It won't be long before people will have to choose between socialism and fascism. There will be no in-between.
Nobody wants an in-between, because any point in-between those means we have to revisit this exact problem again and again and again until we finally get it through our heads that fascism is the ONLY possible conclusion to a capitalist system in the long term. We fought an entire world war against fascism to prove this fact to be true.
To be fair the dial will always swing that way no matter the case, it'll depend if the centre will deal with the devil to keep it's comfort (again) or confronts it's own issues beforehand.
Immigration in one place isn't necessarily like immigration in another place. Immigration in itself indeed isn't a bad thing, however it is becoming a (partially) bad thing when certain ethnicities amongst those immigrants are disproportionately not integrating into the society of the country they have moved to, and/or they are even rejecting the norms and values of the country they have moved to. Let this be more of a problem in Europe than it is in the US. The US predominantly receives Hispanic immigrants. People that in terms of norms and values are not too dissimilar to what they are like in the US, thus making it relatively easy for these people to integrate into American society. Europe mostly receives its immigrants from Africa and the Middle East, whereas especially muslims do tend to have norms and values that don't always compute well with those here in Europe, thus these people having more difficulties integrating into European society. Which leads to a set of issues that, if not addressed accordingly in a timely manner, spiral out of control. And that's what you now see back in Europe in for example the rise of the far right parties. And by the way, if immigrants are committing far fewer crimes than native born people per capita, how come prisons tend to be inhabited disproportionally more by immigrants? The police may play somewhat of a role in this, but surely that won't explain the difference completely?
1) You know how Hispanic immigrants are treated in the US? Racists will always find a scapegoat. 2) Most of those immigrants have been in Europe for decades. 3) Regarding prisons, what country are you talking about? You can't really expect statistics to be the same for all 27 EU countries.
@@JoaoSantos-ur1gg 1) In some cases, poorly. And you're right that racists will indeed always find a scapegoat. That doesn't change the fact that Hispanics generally have fairly similar takes on the societal and moral questions of life than those already in the US. 2) Fair enough. It's often at the second or third generations of immigrants where things tend to go south. 3) Obviously the results will be different in Poland, Hungary, Romania, or another country where the number of (non-western) immigrants will be relatively low. However it will apply to most Western European countries.
@@harimauindia5775 Yes indeed, it's more of a socioeconomic issue than anything else. And yet you see that some ethnicities are having a harder time climbing that socioeconomic ladder than other ethnicities for a plethora of reasons of which you could blame society for some, but of which you could most definitely also blame those certain ethnicities.
Look, im almost always on your side on any issue. But saying that "[the negativ sentiment against migrants] is based on nothing" is spitting in the face of those who have had bad experiences with them, like in cologne a few years back. Safe to say you lost a subscriber.
Poland has had a bad experience with Ukrainians. Poland struggles more because of people from that country. Poles complain a lot. Who try to make a business because of competition and Ukrainians with money. But also workers because prices rise and less workplaces or flats at good prices. You know that they are all white? They also misbehave sometimes or want to be treated special. But are those people the real reason? Or the system itself and those who gain or try to gain on it? Bad social institutions. You always could be in their shoes. On their place. You would not behave as you are. Is not the same as from your current perspective.
If someone sees my comment, any explanation on the strange amount of "I'm not racist but immigrants blabla" for an openly left wing channel? For a thing I know as a french is that intra--online-left, we are well over this confusionist stage in discourse, that was more of a 2014-2020 thing with a layer of baby red-browns and "sovereignists" or various small but terminally online small groups of online bros, since then a lot of deconfusion happened and most people either upgrade their leftism with anti-racist and decolonial layers, or have gone into the far-right and conspiracies. Also the discourse about separating legal and illegal immigrants doesn't really come often in my experience, their arguments weren't about separating the good from the bad but trying to look neutral and respectable while talking about immigration in itself. Are we still an exception to have "overcome" this phase? Or are they just some of these famous paid trolls according to you lol? The overall left-wing discourse is pretty elaborate on more cases, more than I would think otherwise, I would tend to think even if they wanted to try sounding leftist they would fail if they were hired trolls, yet if its genuine, it's pretty alarming for an intra-left place (even if I enjoy playing my chauvinistic frenchie and brag we obviously got the best left of all colonial countries!).
One of them really brought the " our prisons are full of immigrants" argument, as if a leftist never heard that argument from an american neo n4zi before
You don't have a discourse. Illegal immigration is a tool by neo-liberalism to destroy labor it was always bad but since leftists started abandoning workerist principles and went into woke idpol you now have a problem on your hands. How do you square the fact that illegal immigration is destroying your country while at the same time try to appear "anti-racist". Simple, you tell Americans Europe is different and your illegal immigration is a special sort of immigration whereas Americans kind of illegal immigration is good and they're just being racists. Clowns.
that is also the reason your left is the most hated in europe and will lose a head to head with the far right in 2027, those positions are incredibly unpopular and hated across all of europe and now evreyone is copying the danish social democrats a party that made anti muslim and anti third world immigration positions their trademark ( adopting the idiotic antiracism and anti colonial bs comig from the US is a sure way to give the far right absolute majorities)
"This idea contradicts mine, so it must be fascism! Am I right, guys??? " Also, calling the right 'far right' and the far left just 'left' just shows your bias and lack of balance in understanding political perspectives.
This channel is basically the left-wing socialist equivalent of all the radical far-right propaganda channels. Same extremism and propaganda, different side of the political spectrum.
lepen is far right, they called h*tler a cute name in their family (look up there is a documentary about the life of lepen and his wife told it, I dont remember how they called him but it seemed affectionate)
That is what you've got when some random American who doesn't know the sh* what is happening right now in Europe is making a video. As a former left I'm more afraid about Islamic terror in Europe. Fascism in only result of ongoing Islamization that is happening right now.
@@jordyjohnathan5123 Just few days ago we have example of Islamic terror in Europe, so why are you whining? Taylor Swift concerts needed to be cancelled due to the planned Islamic attacks too. Your point is what? There is a problem with Islamic violence in Europe. 33% of young Muslims in UK want shariah law over a quarter said they have a favourable view of jihad.
Its beyond weird to present this video as a truth for Europe, while sources are limited for US. Had second thought actually done their job on this, which they usually do, they would have found crime stats for several countries in Europe that would prove them wrong, but also noted that many countries don't publish data on such level - something which will make conclusions drawn in this video invalid at best, or flat out a lie. Same can be said for most claims - "far right" can be criticized for a lot, but pushing data and a narrative that US welfare system is equal to that in Europe, hence numbers would be the same is very poor presentation of fact, or willfully misleading. Had second though even asked chat gpt they would have found: Net Impact: A 2018 study by Denmark's Ministry of Finance found that Western immigrants were a net positive, while non-Western immigrants were a net cost. However, over time, as integration policies improve and migrants enter the workforce, the fiscal balance can shift positively. That would be in line with other countries in Europe also. For UK given that they struggle in many parts of the UK with low education etc - immigrants probably "steal" their jobs in the sense that low skilled work is being taken. But this seems based on data mostly because of poor management of UK as a whole, and so can seem to be applied for Germany to if my sources are correct. Anyhow - its extremely poor of second thought not to include facts for Europe, and case conclusions on studies from the US based on US DATA, assuming somehow that its 1:1 to other countries.
@@bluester7177I suggest you read again. I haven’t said anything about the US as you claim. If you manage to read that into it - that might however be a you problem, and not me
I usually don't think too much about the one-sided views on this cannel, but as a European I feel the need to criticise here. No, immigration is NOT "always beneficial". It is if you have an actual system to integrate people of other cultures and to give them the education they need to be useful for your economy. So something that since decades everyone in Europe put under the rug, hoping it would solve itself or simply vanish. It didn't, and many people are now on the breaking point where they consider voting fascist parties simply because they are the only ones that actually offer a solution, or something at all even. People like Macron are not going harder on immigrants because they want to install fascism, they are doing do BECAUSE people are fed up with the non-immigration politics of the left and liberal parties. And there ARE problems with immigrants, you simply can't deny that. Even countries like Sweden have failed to deal with them, and Germans now have a very bitter view on Merkel who (besides failing to modernise the country) had a "Welcome refugees" stance without making any actually progressive actions to make it work. Immigrant criminals are on the rise, especially muslim immigrants, just a few days ago there was someone killing people in the name of Islamic terrorism. Don't try to talk it off. Don't pretend it doesn't happen. We have been through this since 2015. It is clear now, to even the most leftist European countries, that it doesn't work, and that there is a cultural divide that is so large that it is very hard to overcome. And that immigration is no second thought topic. Ultra-right parties have gained so much power recently because people are, often rightfully so, fed up about everyone telling them to welcome everyone and having to swallow the negative consequences. All the other parties have simply failed in that department, that's why they HAVE to acknowledge them now, or democracy as it is might actually be in danger. This video feels 8 years too late, I suppose because of it being an American view on Europe. But here, we have been through this, all of it, it is nothing new to us, and it is nothing where we only need someone to tells to approach immigration with open arms. It offers absolute zero solutions, it is merely criticising something without understanding the nuances. Which is exactly how Europe even got into that situation in the first place.
I don’t know what europe he is talking about but this isn’t a matter of put up a wall and its ok, no. Our union is based on social security it functions only if everyone contributes. If everyone comes in and doesn’t do rat shit but complain and not contribute to the values, language and country they’re in its not gonna work and you destroy your self from within. Its not a matter of a wall, this is way bigger than giving jobs.

You are right, immigration isnt a bad thing, its terrible thing. How on earth people with no intention to work might help european economy? Besides that, safety of native europeans is at great risk, there is no such amount of money to compensate for feeling safe in your homeland.

Thing is I agree with you but I can clearly see you are an american and what I mean with that is this. Europeans don't really fear new migration what they do fear is islamisation and yes it's a real thing in Europe not the USA I know but in Europe Islam is becoming more dominant than it will ever be in the USA. And is that bad? No at first we thought not but that was our first response too freedom of religion but there are those who come here and most just don't want to adapt not really work in their new lifes they just refuse to and want everybody around them to change not the other way around. That's why the extreme anger and fear because the previous European politcians did nothing to do something about this. And Europeans are just grown tired of it. I don't agree with this but as an American you just can't understand this your country starts the wars in the middle east but most of them go to Europe not the USA..
Islamisation is not a thing in Europe, that's a far-right myth. They want you to believe that a small minority has the power to make everyone else follow their religion so that you get distracted from real problems.
@@malum9478 I think people who use the term "islamization" just have some kind of weird fetish because there's no such thing as "islamization" in Western countries.

@@KurtzBraundenbergs it's not just about inmigration: The so-called anti-woke movement, militaristic response as the first option in conflict, climate denialism... you name it. I'm not specifically placing the spotlight on inmigration. If you ask me, I know little on the topic, and I'm aware it's not as simple as fully opening the doors and expecting things to work out by themselves: the state's ability to take people in and grant basic care and attention to them as well as to its current inhabitants is limited, and that should always be, imho, it's main focus. On the other hand, asking people to leave our countries when we don't want to stop exploiting theirs I think is quite f*cked up: as far as I know, Africa was quite the naturally wealthy land, filled with natural resources that have been constantly sacked by other countries ever since the colonialist times up to this day. So there's that, as well. In the end, I think it's complicated: so many moving pieces forming a whole that I don't think most of us are prepared to comprehed, due to lack of education, research and knowledge, and I think that grand, simple statements such as "Allow all inmigrants in" or "Keep all inmigrants out" hardly make for an answer, more the less a solution to these issues. That's why I think we need more conversation, more information, and less extreme positions: because these don't allow for debate, for exchanging ideas and for the chance of giving in a bit of terrain for the sake of agreement.

Even the question is ridiculous. Right wing populist parties are not fascists. 1. They don't root for a pure white nation of ethnic germans, italians, french etc. Most of them have no problem with migration from other european states. European right wing populists are pan european - not ultranationalistic. They often speak about the "judeo-christian european culture" wich accorduing to them had to be defended against the middle eastern "invaders". 2. They are not antisemitic. On the contrary, many of these right wing parties are supporting Israel no matter what and accuse all muslims of being antisemitic. 3. They are not militaristic. In fact most of these right wingers were against support for Ukraine, even though Russia was always archenemy of every european Nazi and Ukraine was an allie of the axis forces. The "fourteen points of facism" presented here are totally arbitrary and some are downright wrong. For instance fascism never appeals to a "frustrated middle class"- they appeal to the white under class. This is their main target group. Also the rejection of modernism doesn't make you fascist and disdain for woman is also not necessarely fascistic. Fascists believe in traditional gender roles but that isn't the same as "disdain for women" as in some incel or sigma male groups or in religious fundamentalist groups, no matter if these fundamentalists are muslim, christian or jewish. What is even worse is the fact that the most important things are missing. The most important characteristics of fascism are - Führerkult (a personal cult around a leader) - Palingenesis (a higher goal that has to be archived by all means necessary) - Militarism - Antisemitism - Ultranationalism These 10 points of Jason Stanley describe exactly how right wing populism works but right wing populism is not fascism. It can lead to fascism but it doesn't has to. The USA had a right wing populist leader and the country is still not fascist yet because the institutions prevented it and because Trump is no fascist. He is a selfish idiot who doesn't believe in anything. When he realised that "Project 2025" is unpopular among voters and could cost him the election he couldn't distance himself quickly enough from it. Trump is just an opportunist, real fascists are fanatics who are often willing to die for their believes.
None of your 3 points make sense, fascism isn't defined exclusively by those 3 things. And the idea that fascists never appeal to a frustrated middle class is hilariously ignorant. A "white under class" is a vague statement that doesn't refute Eco's point. By definition if you're _middle_ class you are _under_ another class, therefor you are an under class. You seem to make a bad attempt at handwaving historically accurate characteristics of fascist ideology in an attempt to downplay fascists being fascists. Eco's list of points are *indicators* of fascism they aren't exclusive definitions of only fascism. "Fascists believe in traditional gender roles" For one, this is a meaningless statement since traditional gender roles vary WIDELY across earth and time. For two, the supposed gender roles you're referring to is that women are inherently less worthy than men and that they are only good for raising children. This is effectively describing disdain, your cowardly attempt to sugar coat it isn't working. "no matter if these fundamentalists are muslim, christian or jewish." Identifying with any of these religions do not exclude you from having fascist characteristics, this is another incoherent attempt at downplaying fascism. "The most important characteristics of fascism are" Based on what evidence is this true? Your feelings? Eco has scholarly research backing his points. "because Trump is no fascist." This further betrays how you're downplaying fascism, by calling the most blatant and out and about fascist as not being a fascist. Being a selfish idiot who doesn't believe in anything falls entirely within Eco's points or any historical fascist leader. You're not refuting the claim. And no, no historical fascist _leader_ was willing to die for their beliefs. That's why they send others to die in their stead. I suggest you stop being a coward and just come out and admit you like fascists.
you don't know what lepen family is, they had an affectionate nickname for h*tler ("Tonton Dolphi", meaning Uncle Dolphi), Jean-marie lepen wife's told it in a documentary... and yes Marine Lepen grew up in this family and is now the leader of this party, they just cover it up as much as they can but where do you think fascists go? they will end up in her party and hide while pushing their agendas they are not that stupid, and even if the current state of the party doesn't check your criterias it's still 'extreme droite'
Nearly all your statistics and articles are for immigration to the United States, but you are talking about fascism in Europe. Maybe you should provide statistics for immigration to Europe? Which has a very different makeup to that of the US. I can definitely believe that a migrant to the US that has basically no social safety net, even for its own citizens would pay into the system more than they take out only 53% of refugees from north Africa and the Middle East have jobs in a country like Sweden, so they can't possibly be paying more into the system than they are taking out.
The guys who are shouting auslander raus on the streets? Who want to enlist german citizens based on their country of origin? They are the definition of a fascist.
I don’t want to sound like someone from the far right, but you’re only showing one side of the story. You say that migration is good for the economy, but what about the domestic stability of the state? Almost no one in Europe is far right simply because they dislike how immigrants are handled in our countries. We are happy to welcome immigrants when they integrate into our society properly and don’t cause crime. If you look at statistics in Denmark, many immigrants were poorly integrated, and even both left-wing and right-wing parties acknowledge they need to address it. They’re dragging down the economy because they’re poorer than the average Danish citizen and commit more crimes. Most immigrants are poorly integrated and stick to their own communities without learning the country’s language. This is also happening in France and Germany, where there are no-go zones in certain areas. While Americans might be used to this, in Europe we aren’t, and we don’t want to get used to it. From your video, I can clearly see that you’re progressive to the point where you view any criticism of migration as slightly fascist. We just don’t want illegal immigration. Look at Poland-it could become a future superpower because it stands firmly against illegal immigration. Migrants in Poland are well-integrated, and they don’t face as many problems with them, largely because it’s easier to integrate people when the cultural differences are minimal. Even in the Czech Republic, where many people are hesitant to help those who aren’t “our people,” we welcomed Ukrainians, despite significant portions of the population being upset about it. We don’t resort to violence because of it. As I see it, the more culturally similar immigrants are, the easier integration becomes, and as a result, there’s less resentment. However, when immigrants commit three times more crimes than those born in the country, it creates a problem. From my perspective, immigration is good, but it needs to be managed properly to ensure the stability of the state isn’t put in jeopardy.
7:26 the best defo of fascism comes from mussolini himself : "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power"...by this defo, the US has been under a fascist state for 110 out of the last 150 yrs...
So... the fact that he's trying to say it should go by a different name tells you that the two names actually mean something different. Hitler used a same tactic, literally saying outright that *his* definition of National Socialism was extremely different from the actual meaning of the term National Socialism.
The US is the largest merger of state and private interests on the planet. Every single huge US corporation is a child of the government and the government is totally working for the enrichment of said companies. One and the same, working hand in hand for stealing from the many to benefit the few.
I am Austrian and I am not Right-wing oriented but there is a difference Why At a certain point immigration becomes a problem for us and in America not, or not so quickly, although New York is a good example. Because we are welfare states And a small group of migrants are taking advantage of this and our financial system and our social coexistence are feeling the effects, as this minority usually has no interest in integrating.I have to say again that it is a minority but our democracy has been endangered by the fact that for years people have been saying don't vote for the right or an alternative to what we had That people think they have to overthrow what was before to get change 😅
Yeah you are right wing oriented when your solution to the problems of migration is to stop people from seeking asylum in safe countries instead of rallying against your EU politicians who support all your corporations that strip the rest of the world of resources and arm every conflict bc weapon trade is the most profitable thing. You side with the fascist narratives. You are the liberal who when scratched turns into a fascist.
This guy keep repeating "Immigration isn't a bad thing" No bro...immigrants with no intents of ever adapting to the european lifestyle and refusing to accept anything, but their own values is definitely a bad thing.
Okay bro, go work the low-paying job that props your economy up then. Oh wait, you don't want to cause the pay is shit. Oh wait, that's capitalism's problem. Think outside the box ffs.
@@kennykenevil57 The non-Western illegal mass migrants, which is who everyone is talking about in (Western) Europe when it concerns the destructive effects of immigration, don't work whatsoever, and have proven again and again to be a net massive burden instead of contributing anything to their host countries. A burden in costs, leaching off of the welfare system, disproportionately needing healthcare due to all their inbreeding which then puts massive strain on healthcare, a burden in crime, where they are extremely overrepresented, a burden in housing, a burden by not integrating and learning the language or adopting European culture and values, and on and on. Most Europeans have little issue with work migrants, which is mostly comprised of fellow Europeans anyway, carrying out precisely the low paying work you're talking about.
It is a fact that in Western Europe, anti-Semitism is starting to take on terrible proportions. This is a sign of growing fascist tendencies. In Eastern Europe, this is not perceptible. For example, Jews can feel completely safe in Hungary.
This video is dishonest at best, there is not just one type of immigration, saying all of it is good is just misinformation. Skilled immigration is amazing for the receiving country, yes. Asylum seekers and refugees on the other hand are 99.99% of the times horrible for the economy. The origin country of immigration also plays a huge factor in its economic effects.
The funny thing about neoliberalism is, we have a very early case study that allows for pretty conclusive observations; Chile. Firstly, market dominance must be aggressively enforced against any opposing populist movements, otherwise it can't persist. Secondly, democratic means of reformism are incapable of defeating reactionary efforts and revert measures of privatization for public sectors. Thirdly, the premise of "increasing wealth for all socioeconomic groups" is fundamentally wrong - while average (mean) income usually rises, median income tends to stagnate or decrease, due to inevitable concentration of accumulated capital for a minority of the population. Not to mention the resulting destitute conditions for the significantly sized "bottom" of the socioeconomic hierarchy. Of course, despite all this, established parties on the alleged "left" (socdems) and the right still treat neoliberalism as without alternative. If not in rhetoric, certainly in their policies.
Talking incorrectly about statistics. As I understand, it's not your fault, but the problem lies in how this information is presented to the public, and everyone just follows it. There was a good RUclips video about immigration and how it affects society and the economy in the EU, with much better statistics.
People here are absolutely not interested in facts and statistics. It's collective brain rot and it's scary as hell. Luckily normal people off the internet will vote according to their values and not some armchair reddit/YT communist.

Speaking as a South African we have a lot of experience with xenophobia, and mob justice. The fundamental cause is a loss of trust in the police and the courts to do their jobs.
The British riots can be seen in a lot of ways as a signature failure of conservative politics. Under the Tories, the police were defunded - this was part of Theresa May's legacy when she had that portfolio.
It is significant that Rotherham was one of the flashpoints for the riots - that is part of the legacy of the events that led to the Rotherham Report, in which it was found that police didn't want the bad PR that would come from prosecuting Islamic rape gangs that prostituted British children.
It is not correct, or helpful to claim that this is all based on nothing, because it provides no means of addressing the underlying problems that led to those riots.
It also fails to account for a very important lesson from Rotherham - that the right does not deliver on its core promises. The right aren't particularly good on law enforcement, the conservative approach on immigration appears entirely ineffective at moderating issues that come from immigration.
Indeed it is almost like cutting social services for younger, working populations and treating them as cheap labor to be exploited or cheap campaign bogeymen does not in fact result in safer societies.
I'm glad to see a fellow South African understanding the formation of fascism better than the Europeans in this chat.

@@OkamiZone by yourselves. not the west, is that what Julius Malema told you as he killed "the bread basket" that fed africa? or in other words white people who dared feed his people?
Rotherham was not a flashpoint for these riots. The real reason behind them was the tragic incident where a Black Christian man killed three young white girls-not anything to do with Rotherham. Now, let's talk about the hypocrisy. When Lucy Letby, a white nurse, killed babies in a hospital, no one rioted. When white British groomers target children, the same people stay quiet. This selective outrage is telling.
The core issue behind these riots was the misinformation that falsely blamed a Muslim. Figures like Tommy Robinson, Andrew Tate, and Nigel Farage were spreading these false claims. It’s frustrating that some people are drawing conclusions without understanding the real reasons for the unrest. If you truly cared about your country, you wouldn't be out looting stores or damaging local businesses/houses.
What did the riots achieve? Nothing. They didn’t help anyone, not the people who were rioting, nor the communities they claim to despise so much. At the end of the day, it’s just another example of divide and conquer. The wealthy benefit from the chaos, while the most vulnerable fall for it. Those at the bottom continue to suffer while the rich profit.

Yeah, it's getting worse. The Netherlands also took a swing even further to the right, and our government has been led by right-wing parties for a while now, even if they were nowhere near as extreme. It's quite simple, really. Capitalism is failing humanity on all fronts, but instead of blaming capitalism and the exploitation it depends upon, people point towards "outsiders" and "the left", and thus the country takes a turn to "the right".
Sad reality is "the left" requires a deep understanding of context and nuance to explain why left-wing policies should be implemented, and most people just can't be bothered with context and nuance. So they try to find an easy solution instead, unwilling to admit that these "easy solutions" are the real problem.
I can't believe the right in Nederland justify their past colonization and refuse to acknowledge the violence they committed in the past.
so its pretty useless if people in genreal want easy solutions.
The Netherlands has been ruled by right-wing parties since the Eighties. Even our so-called Labour Party is right wing. They do absolutely nothing for the labourers. The sad fact is that for those who are left-wing, there is simply no party to vote for. We can "choose" between right, farther right, or ultra right.
@@wouter.de.ruiter I'm sorry, but that's just not true. We can argue whether or not the left is left enough, but suggesting that parties such as GroenLinks, now merged with PVDA, SP and Denk are right-wing is just disingenuous. You don't need to be an outright communist party in order to be left-wing.
It's really not great. Limburg and Venlo in the south also has a lot of elements grafting their faith further into our already pretty 'normalised' right-leaning stances.

Most people would choose fascism if it's fairly easy to do. People want simple solutions, and the fascists have a bag full of them. They just want someone to handle everything for them.
That is what makes me hopeful though. The majority of people are not politically active, they will accept whatever system they live under. I hope that after a revolution most of the people will just keep going on living their lives and the right opposition will not be absolutely overwhelming.
@MCDreng That's pretty much what history shows us. The problem is, revolution is a rather hierarchical beast, and leads to more hierarchy. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

The Sweden democrats didn’t “collapse” in the EU election. They didn’t lose as single seat in the EU parliament and went back only about 2% - primarily due to low voter turnout and skepticism of the EU with many right wing voters that don’t even bother voting, alongside that many SD voters are also pro EU and support the party on the national level, but not EU level (for example regarding being opposed to Swexit, pro Ukraine, pro Climate, and different policies on economy/farming etc).

A little fun fact about French politics: Jean-Marie Le Pen, Marine Le Pen's father, has been pushed away from the party by his own daughter due to him being a bad look during the phase of de-demonization, most notably because of his numerous anti-semitic and h0locaust denial comments (that actually got him convicted for hate speech), as well as his affiliation to actual n4zis he founded the party with. And THIS MAN is being labeled "the man who was right too early" by some French media... the same man who was ejected from his party for being too openly discriminatory towards the people who aren't the current far-right scapegoat

The halo and horn effect
This is quite hypocrite as jews in france openly call themselves antisemite ( if you search a bit on youtube you can find compilation of it ), “massacreur” (slaughterer), openly say they come to france only for money and that french peoples should have theirs throats slit on the spot and that “islam is the broom of israel”, openly call for the genocide of palestine (and also it's eradication - in theirs own words -) call palestinians a cancer and complain about “the poison of democracy” and “how everyone should be united by one goal and ideology”; then they openly allow azov into israel and allow them to pray to the wall (with barren chest exposing theirs tattoos too) and become “jews” ( yet to keep theirs nazi imagery) (also israeli soldier love to upload picture of themselves holding nazi flag ); There is also a jew that did a carbon tax fraud, and he bragged on “touche pas a mon poste” that jews control the judicial system, he also did a nasty “joke” on how he “steal from the rich” as a reference to the christian bible and how it states that “christian are rich, but they do not know it”, in fact jews in france quite often bash the bible or say it is nonsense (you can find compilation of it).
Oh another example is that there was a french jewish mayor (therefore paid by french peoples taxes money )who stated “i do not care about retirement ( of french peoples), i care about israel”. Another example is how they had the french president celebrate the hanukkah at the elysee and light it even though the french government is supposed to be separated from religion ( of course it's a lie as it is profoundly freemasonic and jewish at its core , even the french national anthems is a hymn from a jewish song )
Another quite impressive example is netanayuh drone strike in france and how he went here and said “we cannot allow terrorist in our territory” implying that france is israel property / territory.
Another example is emmanuelle wargon a jew who was the minister of the ecological transition, and she stated “the nonsense of the individual house” while she own a million-euro house in a rich quarter.(she of course meant non “elite” do not deserve to own houses). So your stuff is reverse accusation, french politics is already profoundly facist at its core, the idea is that politicians / rapecultist are God incarnated on earth and above the laws, that they can do whatever they want, that accordign to theirs own word they are “sacred”, that theirs children's are betters and need to go to private schools, that they are “the Gods” and that the non them / peoples who disagree with them are “les inutiles”.(the useless). The le pen are just a boogeyman as they eat in the pot like the others, an artificial scapegoat. So of course peoples can easily be manipulated as it is true that jews hold tremendous power over france , have special status that allows them quasi infinite hate speech and genocide speeches, are part of the “sacred” “Gods”, but they themselves are just a branch of rape cultism.
This is basically how all the European far right parties operate. Most of them are steeped in generations of Nazis or Fascists, but adopt plausible-deniable rhetoric to cover that up, and people are either ignorant or flat out don't care because all these 3rd generation Nazis publically claim to hate the same people they do.

The halo effect is when your judgement on someone is impacted by the groups that surrounds the person, the horn effect is when your judgement is impacted by a single negative or positive characteristic.
The halo effect does not apply here for the RN does not surround the LePen family they are part of it, they are the leaders of it actually, so it's direction is a direct indicator of the LePens moral values.
The horn effect also doesn't really apply since Jean Marie has been condemned multiple time for hate speech, toward different groups it is not unjustified to consider him an hateful bastard

I can speak for what i saw happening in my country Italy but i bet is the same all over Europe.
Voting left or right is gradually becoming irrelevant because people in power have personal and corporate agendas to pursue, while fomenting their voters base with slogans.
The left speaks everyday about justice, fair wages, taxing the rich/big corps, helping working class, promote legal immigration but when they are in power none of those things are done, everytime with plausible excuses: the covid, the war, is not the right moment, economic stability comes first etc.
The right have the same excuses but gathers vote talking about sticking to "traditional values", security policies, reducing taxes for small businesses, not getting told by EU what to do with our money etc.
No matter what colour is in power but you can bet at some point someone will make it dirty and protests will start:
the left accusing the right of being fascists, racists and controlling the news
the right accusing the left of doing communist policies (everytime at some point someone is accused of taking money from Russia/China or whatever fits) and being laxists on immigration control.
The outcome is always the same, youth and many other people gather to protests and the police beat the shit out of them, always with the same excuses: there were infiltrators from extreme right groups, there were violent protesters, there were infiltrators from radical left groups.
All this game repeat itself until the next elections, where the winning party can always say that they cannot realize electoral promises because the government before has done X or Y.
In the meanwhile we are losing welfare state policies, health system is shifting towards private sector, key infrastructures are missing N° by a lot (some are done spot to convince the voters base before regional/local elections), industrial policies are non-existing, the rich come to our country to hit and run on some companies because they know the government needs money.
To broaden the talk to EU, what has changed with last elections? Nothing, the same people as before are in power, foreign policy is managed by the US that decide how EU money are spent (and what nation won't have access to cheap gas anymore, i guess)
We are slowly accepting the pervasive control over the news both on paper and on the internet, and the censoring of whoever is labeled as the enemy of democracy (anti-EU, anti-vax, or anti-israel, who knows who's next?).
Its sad to say it but the only rational reason to vote a party instead of another is if you can benefit from it economically.
There is no solution to this situation in Europe, stop voting seems the only way at least to withdraw my approval of whatever will be done by the ruling class.
They will do it no matter what happen. Someone thinks that if the voters base goes below a certain % amount there will be an uprising of the people against the tyrants; i used to believe this but at this point they can get away with whatever.
As a European I agree with what you said, and I feel it really mirrors well why people are so fed up with politicians now. Why vote a moderate party when they won't enact half their program because they had to share the council with the opposite moderate party?
It feels like a clown circus at times.
I'm Austrian and we had the green party in council together with our liberals. Before they got into council, the green party had a record vote of I think 16%. Now they are under half and might not even get over the minimum vote count to take part in the parliament.
It seems that this keeps happening since decades, but only one thing never changes: the liberals will always be be part of the head.
This is the only rational and sane comment in this whole comment section. Unfortunately, it will get drowned out by the more extreme and radical comments.
I'm from America and it's the same way there. It's increasingly obvious that democracy is and has always been a scam-- we are free to vote for whatever we want, as long as it's what bankers and Wall Street want. It's their policies that get implemented 1000% of the time by all factions, year after year, while fake fights over "social issues" like birth control and gun control are dangled like puppets to keep people keen and donations flowing. It's all just a scam as various companies aim to pillage the earth and drain our tax money into their private accounts.
In what countries have actual left wing parties been in power and not done left wing policies?

French person here, i'm here to give a little more context for the 2 elections in france talked in the video:
The first vote, which was the European election, ended up like that for a few reasons. Firstly, there has been a big push for the normalization of the RN these last 10 years or so thanks to Marine Le-Pen. Secondly, there is a lot of people that have lost confidence in the system, so it made a lot of people on the left not vote, and some of them voted for the RN either as a vote of contestation or because, in their own words, "on a jamais essayé" (we never tried it). Without getting into details, this phrase is naive at best and malicious at worst.
After the European election ended up like it did, Macron dissolved the National Assembly and left only 2 weeks of preparation before the vote on the Legislative election. Unfortunately, even with Macron getting a "Everyone disliked that" moment, people didn't think they could enact change in the system, so, even if there was less absentees, there were a lot of votes of contestation for the RN. After people saw the disaster that was the first round, people tried their best to block the RN, including people who did votes of contestation.
There is a lot of stuff that i'm leaving like how we've operated without a prime minister for more than a month thanks to Macron deliberately doing the Legislative just before the Olympics to divert and calm people from the problem he created himself, but i gotta stop somewhere.
Of course, this isn't meant to be an exhaustive and i have my own biases, so take what i said with a grain of salt.
PS: Might as well say that the French Socialist Party is pretty bad. I've heard them be described as the "gauche molle" (soft left) and that's pretty much it. Socialism is really good but the French Socialist Party isn't.
French is my first language, and thus, I'm often educated about the politics of the French republic. I'm glad that you were able to summarize the current electoral situation over there in a comprehensive manner for those who aren't informed (even from a socialist perspective lol). I heard lots of harsh commentary on the Rassemblement National's policy against immigration, and the preservation of French values, but media bias is too prevalent nowadays, so it's better to view everything with skepticism.
better a soft left party is in power rather than a far right party.
Remember the overton window?
Excellent résumé, bravo.
@@crimsonhermit9383 the RN was founded by ex-Nazis, and, up until 10 years ago, it had some really appalling speeches. People who think the RN has softened are being deceived by Le-Pen, who has just redirected the party's idea to be more in line with what people think it's "ok" to vote for. They're just hiding their real intention to get elected, and then they'll reveal their real policies. The far left is no better. But because people want easy solutions and do not check the facts, they fall into a spiral that leads them to vote for extremes.
We're currently in a situation where everyone has forgotten to consider that if we vote for the extremes, it could be 1933 all over again. History is taught in schools so that we do not make the same mistakes again. But it seems that the whole of Europe has already forgotten what happened.
Besides, not having a prime minister isn't as big of a problem as people think; it prevents the government from making a bad decision, but at the same time, the country can still run normally. The Belgians had the same situation for two years, and their country didn't collapse.

Of course, immigration is a net gain for the USA. The US receives many highly skilled and well-educated immigrants. Clearly, their contribution is a net gain for the US. Also, it is much easier for the ordinary immigrant in the US to blend in with the melting pot because they are more culturally similar to their hosts. Also, with the exception of the UK, it is much more plausible to expect an immigrant to speak English than a language that is not even spoken by 50 million people worldwide. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of European immigrants. What is the net gain of accepting proportionally more immigrants from third world countries? It is sad to see how poorly the integration of migrants from Afghanistan, for example, has worked in Europe. I hardly know any Afghans, and I suspect that many of them hardly know any locals. Whether this is the result of a lack of effort by the immigrants or a lack of integration efforts by European politicians, it is safe to say that immigration from the US is not comparable to immigration from Europe.
Well in the case of France the linguistic barrier is lesser, because it receives a lot of immigration from french speaking parts of Africa
Absolutely, every EU country would gladly trade American's mexican immigrants for their muslim immigrants.
Without Afghan immigrants, we would not have enough drugs to have fun with.
This was a very biased and weird video.. Citing sources form the US while talking about Europe is just absurd and no, immigration is not always good. There are so many aspects of immigration it cannot simply be labeled as "always good". Ridiculous.
This video is wrong on so many levels.
1.)Firstly, most of the statistics you showcase, such as the one about crime differences between immigrants and natives or the one about contributing to wages, are from the US. That is just stupid considering this video is focusing on Europe that has a wildly different immigration situation than the United States. That statistic is just untrue in terms of European immigration. To disprove your claims I will mostly use Sweden as an example, a country that was once regarded as a heaven on earth, low poverty and crime, with a very high HDI.
So we have Sweden where immigrants, particularly from the Middle East and Africa, are significantly overrepresented in crime statistics. A study covering 2002 to 2017 found that 58% of criminal suspects were immigrants, with even higher percentages for serious crimes like murder and robbery.;
Murder, Attempted Murder, Manslaughter: *Immigrants were suspects in 73% of these cases.*
Robberies: *70% of suspects were immigrants.*
A 2020 analysis by the Crime Prevention Research Center found that every 1% increase in Sweden's immigrant population was associated with a 3.6% rise in the homicide rate.
In correlation with uncontrolled immigration Sweden, as of 2024, has the *SECOND HIGHEST* amount of rapes per a 100k people IN THE WORLD, such a number was impossible to even imagine before.
Also, if you want search up the Cologne(a city in Germany) New Year Eve rapes. It was very a hush hush situation where the mainstream media and police tried to protect immigrants who sexually assaulted thousands of women in one night.
2.) While immigration CAN be good(definitely not always true as you claim), illegal immigration should be stopped at any cost.
Over the 10 years from 2012 to 2022, about 41 million people immigrated to the European Union, and of those about 3.8 million, over 9%, are estimated to have done so illegally.
3.) It is also untrue that immigrants contribute to higher wages, another statistic you seemed to take from the US. They drain money from social welfare and do not contribute to higher wages, as showcased in the following examples;
A 2020 report from the Danish Ministry of Finance indicated that non-Western immigrants had an employment rate of about 58%, compared to 82% for native Danes. This lower employment rate among immigrants contributes to their higher dependency on social welfare and less contribution to the tax base.
The German Institute for Economic Research found in 2021 that non-EU immigrants had an employment rate of around 55%, compared to 75% for native Germans.
The Migration Advisory Committee in the UK reported in 2020 that a 10% increase in the proportion of immigrants in the labor force reduced wages for native low-skilled workers by about 2%.
4.) If you have any questions I will do my best to answer in the comments since this comment is already too long I will stop with disproving the false claims in this video here.
Honestly the immigration is good article he got is honestly far from the truth in my eyes. Plenty of illegal immigrants cause murder and partake in the drug trade. Our southernmost state of Texas had to reinforce the Mexican border themselves because our government is ran by the same generation that are skeptical of cellphones. Although I agree that racism is bad just because we don't want immigrants doesn't mean we are racist.
...how about convicts instead of suspects?
@@heartache5742exactly, and in the uk case it’s because the tories halted economic growth, meaning there was less money to go around and when the immigrants came, the tories blamed it on them instead of their handling of economical issues
Thank you finaly someone with a brain 🎉
1) If a study done in the US demonstrates that the boiling point of water is 100C, do you think we need a different study done in Europe to determine whether the boiling point of water is 100C in Europe too?
If you don't think so, then your criticism here is incoherent. Just cuz Europe has a different "climate situation" than the US, does not negate factual consequences of specific actions.
Similarly, studies done in the US about immigration (the ones I've seen at least) do not rely on the specific system of immigration the US has.
Also you only cited *suspects* not *convicted* people. Your numbers can just as easily be explained via bigoted profiling, they do not prove what you think they prove.
There is no evidence of anywhere in Europe the police "tried to protect" would-be assaulters, you've just bought in to empty right wing talking points.
2) This makes no sense. Illegal immigration makes up a minute portion of virtually any country's annual immigration numbers.
Not to mention that them being illegal doesn't harm society, which makes your suggestion that it must be stopped "at any cost" completely ridiculous.
3) Firstly, see 1). The studies being done in the US do not mean the conclusions are only valid in the US. This isn't how (economic) studies work.
Your cited data from Denmark/Germany does not support the point you were trying to prove. Even if a specific sub-group of immigrants (you conveniently left out overall immigrants) rate is lower, this does not logically then suggest that immigrants overall "do not contribute to higher wages", or even that specific sub-group. This is a non sequitur.
Whereas your data from the UK is at least trying to support the claim, it too is cherry picked and therefor invalid.
It can both be true that low skilled workers get lower wages as a result of a 10% increase in immigration, as well as that overall workers get an increase in wages (or at least no reduction).
I think its clear you've bought in to right wing lies and didn't stop to critically think about what they were telling you.

You cannot compare America to Europe regarding the impact of migrations across the continent. First we are already separated by one thousand years of imbeded conflicts and cultural markers. It took 2 great world wars to finally give a sense of purpose and union at very very thin level of trust. Unrestricted migration under the guise of asylum/human rights/economical reasons, puts a high stress level on the local population, that is trying to accomodate this people. This is happening not over generations, NO. This is happening RIGHT NOW during less than a lifetime, that spans multiple generations. The economic factors are great in the short term but desastrous in the mid to long term, because we are not injecting qualified man power in the economy. Europe doesnt not need a 1Billion more uber drivers, im sorry. But most of all its the cultural aspect. You see Europeans are very tolarable people overall. Like i said in the begining we are all very different to begin with but the common denomitor we all have is the moral code and human decency that allowed us to evolve into better societies. We spent the last 10 years injecting cultures that do not believe in evolving or in integration at the expense of the our own traditions culture and moral values. We dont mind sharing our toys, but we wont tolerate that someone takes them and replace them by their own. The rise in the far right is the OBVIOUS result to a symptom that could not be solved with a open arms and free love and free social help policy, just ask Sweden :) There is rethoric and there is reality, and reality has come finally to colect the rethorical debts, of years and years of ignoring the peoples of europe and their concerns. So please next time you compare the USA emigration with Europe think about this. Imagine every state you have speaks a different language, and have different cultural behaviours, and now let all the latin america join in the mix because we are all human beings entitled to have the best life possible regardless of other people existing.
why are people migrating?? Did you ask that yourself? Because the west is exploiting and bombing and stealing from these countries. Just take colonialism as an example, if it werent for colonialism prior colonized countries would have a better and more stable infrastructure and more wealth. The lack of such motivates people to migrate for example. Europe has brought it on itself 😹😹 sorry but thats the least of consequences you have to bear for building your own wealth at cost of other nations

"immigration is allways good" (while saying blacks get paid less.. and brought into the country.. to work heavy labour like farming.. starting to sound alot like 1810s America to me)
I think you're missing the European dimension of the immigration issue. Most of your referenced studies on it were also conducted in America and are not necessarily applicable to Europe. The idea that immigration is a unilaterally good thing and immigrants cause no issues may be true for the US, but it's demonstrably untrue for Europe. Statistically speaking Muslim immigrants in Europe do commit more crime for instance. That doesn't mean we should be profiling them all based on that, but it's still true. What's also true is that in Denmark it's been shown that MENA immigrants are a net tax drain for the state.
This is important to acknowledge because if we argue on premises that just aren't true, people will notice the truth and they will distrust everything else you say too. Similarly if an argument relies on false premises, it isn't very credible.
A lot of immigrants have to cross an ocean to get there, meaning no one is crossing on flimsy boats. The people who can make it to the US at all are generally already financially better off, and often well educated. Immigration is also much more controlled as a result. Basically the only uncontrolled illegal immigration occurs from Mexico, and it's not especially difficult for Mexicans or Latin Americans to integrate into American society. Gone are the days in Europe as well when anyone would seriously complain about "Polish plumbers", and the recent Ukrainian refugees have caused no problems nor provoked strong reactions either.
At the same time, America has the advantage of being an English speaking country and a lot of people already speaking English, not to mention America projecting immense cultural influence and everyone being at least somewhat Americanised. Furthermore it's a country which treats its idea of nationality and national identity as a creed and the foundational mythos of which is on some level an "immigrant country". European countries all have their own language, which may or may not be spoken or learned by recent arrivals. Furthermore Europe is made up of nation states, where "nation" is implicitly understood to refer more or less to a people of a common language and ancestry, at least that is how these nation states were generally founded. While it may be positive to try and change that perception, people can have intense emotional reactions to that. The first step to reforming an entire national culture and identity is understanding it. Simply ignoring it is going to result in violence.

Just the beginning of your comment proves your racism and right wing or far right wing stand. We have the same in France ... Based on nothing but your own biases. There are studies that proves your wrong. But you'll say this is leftist militant studies ...
As a french, not a far right lover and pro EU, I can tell you that I totally agree with having more military spending to build an EU army, and finally get rid of the American leadership over Europe. So no, sorry man, this is not a valide con against far right since it is shared by many of us who are not and whish for a strong, democratic and autonomous EU.
And regarding laws against islamic separatism, you clearly don’t understand french society. We are a very less religious society with a strongly laic government, so the integration of very religious people, with a religion involved in weekly terrorist attacks, does require extra care and supervision (as we did for christians in early XX century when they threatened the republic to bring back royalists in power). We believe in science, not religion, and immigrants should either agree with this aspect our culture or leave. We struggled too hard through history to free ourselves of religion just to see it threatening again our society.
And USA is slowly turning more theocratic and time goes on. But at least we got hard drugs to help us cope
I think laic translates as secular
@@holomurphy22 Secularism is freedom OF religion. This means not having a state religion and everyone is free to believe in whatever imaginary friends they want. Laicite on the other hands is freedom FROM religion. It includes the core ideas of secularism, but it's more radical and involves policies to actively combat the influence of religion as much as possible (eg bans on religious icons and clothing in schools). Laitice developed from the experiences of feudalism and the ancien regime, and is a result of the French finally liberating themselves from religion through violence during the French Revolution. All religion is archaic and dumb, so I find the French concept of freedom from religion quite enviable. Especially in light of both the increase in islamism throughout Europe thanks to unrestricted immigration and also christian fundamentalism in the US.
An army for a body of non elected officials that can be used to quell dissent... Nice.
@@Klongu_Da_Bongu Who exactly are these unelected officials who will quell dissent?
The 3 core institutions of the EU are the parliament, commission, and council.
Parliament is elected directly by the people, and has been every 5 years since 1979 (while also steadily increasing in power compared to the other 2)
The council consists of the national governments of each EU country. They are each appointed through democratic processes according to the various national electoral systems.
The commission, which is the executive, is appointed by the parliament after the council proposes a list of candidates to parliament.
In the end, much of the power is held by an elected parliament. The council plays an important role since they propose the commission president (the parliament's lack of right of initiative is certainly a valid point of critique), but we must not forget that the council represents the democratically legitimised national governments of member countries. The notion that the EU is led by unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats may have been true some decades ago, but as the different institutions grew in power, they also became increasingly democratically legitimised. To ignore this fact is simply falling for propaganda.
The whole world can't live in Europe.
So when are we going to admit that our privilege comes at the cost of other areas of the world's poor conditions, cheap labor and us draining their resources?

Immigration in one place isn't necessarily like immigration in another place. Immigration in itself indeed isn't a bad thing, however it is becoming a (partially) bad thing when certain ethnicities amongst those immigrants are disproportionately not integrating into the society of the country they have moved to, and/or they are even rejecting the norms and values of the country they have moved to.
Let this be more of a problem in Europe than it is in the US. The US predominantly receives Hispanic immigrants. People that in terms of norms and values are not too dissimilar to what they are like in the US, thus making it relatively easy for these people to integrate into American society.
Europe mostly receives its immigrants from Africa and the Middle East, whereas especially muslims do tend to have norms and values that don't always compute well with those here in Europe, thus these people having more difficulties integrating into European society. Which leads to a set of issues that, if not addressed accordingly in a timely manner, spiral out of control. And that's what you now see back in Europe in for example the rise of the far right parties.
And by the way, if immigrants are committing far fewer crimes than native born people per capita, how come prisons tend to be inhabited disproportionally more by immigrants? The police may play somewhat of a role in this, but surely that won't explain the difference completely?
1) You know how Hispanic immigrants are treated in the US? Racists will always find a scapegoat.
2) Most of those immigrants have been in Europe for decades.
3) Regarding prisons, what country are you talking about? You can't really expect statistics to be the same for all 27 EU countries.
Crimes are more likely to be committed by poor people - or people pushed into poverty and abandoned by the system
@@JoaoSantos-ur1gg 1) In some cases, poorly. And you're right that racists will indeed always find a scapegoat. That doesn't change the fact that Hispanics generally have fairly similar takes on the societal and moral questions of life than those already in the US.
2) Fair enough. It's often at the second or third generations of immigrants where things tend to go south.
3) Obviously the results will be different in Poland, Hungary, Romania, or another country where the number of (non-western) immigrants will be relatively low. However it will apply to most Western European countries.
@@harimauindia5775 Yes indeed, it's more of a socioeconomic issue than anything else.

Also the discourse about separating legal and illegal immigrants doesn't really come often in my experience, their arguments weren't about separating the good from the bad but trying to look neutral and respectable while talking about immigration in itself.
Are we still an exception to have "overcome" this phase? Or are they just some of these famous paid trolls according to you lol? The overall left-wing discourse is pretty elaborate on more cases, more than I would think otherwise, I would tend to think even if they wanted to try sounding leftist they would fail if they were hired trolls, yet if its genuine, it's pretty alarming for an intra-left place (even if I enjoy playing my chauvinistic frenchie and brag we obviously got the best left of all colonial countries!).

Its beyond weird to present this video as a truth for Europe, while sources are limited for US. Had second thought actually done their job on this, which they usually do, they would have found crime stats for several countries in Europe that would prove them wrong, but also noted that many countries don't publish data on such level - something which will make conclusions drawn in this video invalid at best, or flat out a lie.
Same can be said for most claims - "far right" can be criticized for a lot, but pushing data and a narrative that US welfare system is equal to that in Europe, hence numbers would be the same is very poor presentation of fact, or willfully misleading.
Had second though even asked chat gpt they would have found:
Net Impact: A 2018 study by Denmark's Ministry of Finance found that Western immigrants were a net positive, while non-Western immigrants were a net cost. However, over time, as integration policies improve and migrants enter the workforce, the fiscal balance can shift positively.
That would be in line with other countries in Europe also.
For UK given that they struggle in many parts of the UK with low education etc - immigrants probably "steal" their jobs in the sense that low skilled work is being taken. But this seems based on data mostly because of poor management of UK as a whole, and so can seem to be applied for Germany to if my sources are correct.

No, immigration is NOT "always beneficial". It is if you have an actual system to integrate people of other cultures and to give them the education they need to be useful for your economy. So something that since decades everyone in Europe put under the rug, hoping it would solve itself or simply vanish. It didn't, and many people are now on the breaking point where they consider voting fascist parties simply because they are the only ones that actually offer a solution, or something at all even.
People like Macron are not going harder on immigrants because they want to install fascism, they are doing do BECAUSE people are fed up with the non-immigration politics of the left and liberal parties. And there ARE problems with immigrants, you simply can't deny that. Even countries like Sweden have failed to deal with them, and Germans now have a very bitter view on Merkel who (besides failing to modernise the country) had a "Welcome refugees" stance without making any actually progressive actions to make it work. Immigrant criminals are on the rise, especially muslim immigrants, just a few days ago there was someone killing people in the name of Islamic terrorism.

It is clear now, to even the most leftist European countries, that it doesn't work, and that there is a cultural divide that is so large that it is very hard to overcome. And that immigration is no second thought topic.
Ultra-right parties have gained so much power recently because people are, often rightfully so, fed up about everyone telling them to welcome everyone and having to swallow the negative consequences. All the other parties have simply failed in that department, that's why they HAVE to acknowledge them now, or democracy as it is might actually be in danger.
This video feels 8 years too late, I suppose because of it being an American view on Europe. But here, we have been through this, all of it, it is nothing new to us, and it is nothing where we only need someone to tells to approach immigration with open arms. It offers absolute zero solutions, it is merely criticising something without understanding the nuances. Which is exactly how Europe even got into that situation in the first place.
I don’t know what europe he is talking about but this isn’t a matter of put up a wall and its ok, no. Our union is based on social security it functions only if everyone contributes. If everyone comes in and doesn’t do rat shit but complain and not contribute to the values, language and country they’re in its not gonna work and you destroy your self from within. Its not a matter of a wall, this is way bigger than giving jobs. They who don’t come here with intent to study, work, research or teach are even more motivated to not do those things when they experience the immense aid of the structural security systems. Those are draining countries’ resources for the future gens and buffers, so on. The world isn’t a big america. Everywhere is different, cultural, economical, structural, justice wise, religion wise, SO ON.
As a fellow European who is basically center left on most topics but has basically become far right when it comes to Muslim immigration and islam I couldn't agree more
@@Victorvondoom9159 I dont get why other leftists defend Islam.. its literally ripped off christianity thats worse in every way to women or minorities.. even science cause muhhamad was proven a moron when it came to chemistry, language, gravity or anything else. its so bad black/slave mean the same in arabic (abeed, like in gaza they have Al Abeed, a city which sells slaves)
You are right, immigration isnt a bad thing, its terrible thing. How on earth people with no intention to work might help european economy? Besides that, safety of native europeans is at great risk, there is no such amount of money to compensate for feeling safe in your homeland.
I just use Mussolini's definition of fascism: "rejects the premise that peoples are equal"
yup, natives arent equal to illegal immigrants :)
No, that is the definition of being right wing. Not all of that is fascist. So thats simply not a reasonable definition.
People are definitely not equal and never were. I think that everyone reasonable can provide list of people who are better and worst than them I'm definitely not equal to Zuckerberg nor to Ted Bundy...
Which really tells you exactly why conservatives love fascism and will cozy up to it at every chance.
well people aren't equal so he was right about that
"Military spending" you know, russia exists. That might be a problem
Thing is I agree with you but I can clearly see you are an american and what I mean with that is this. Europeans don't really fear new migration what they do fear is islamisation and yes it's a real thing in Europe not the USA I know but in Europe Islam is becoming more dominant than it will ever be in the USA. And is that bad? No at first we thought not but that was our first response too freedom of religion but there are those who come here and most just don't want to adapt not really work in their new lifes they just refuse to and want everybody around them to change not the other way around. That's why the extreme anger and fear because the previous European politcians did nothing to do something about this. And Europeans are just grown tired of it. I don't agree with this but as an American you just can't understand this your country starts the wars in the middle east but most of them go to Europe not the USA..
Islamisation is not a thing in Europe, that's a far-right myth. They want you to believe that a small minority has the power to make everyone else follow their religion so that you get distracted from real problems.
ahhh the political understanding of a random guy in a pub. if you're ever using the term "islamization" just know you're terminally cooked.
@@malum9478 I think people who use the term "islamization" just have some kind of weird fetish because there's no such thing as "islamization" in Western countries.

@@JoaoSantos-ur1gg it's a thing I'm not extreme right and screaming deport them all!!! But I'm saying control it and people that come here please adapt or go. And big fact yes FACT is that most of these people don't even try to adapt. We have to when we just visit their country but they don't do it in return how do I know this? Cause I have seen a lot of the world and it's cultures so no to the other persons comment too I'm not a random guy in a pub other than that person I actually know what I'm talking about that's why I say no need for mass deportation but please respect our customs as we do when we go to their country

@@JoseGarnelo you say that if we dont want immigrants thats extremist? voting right wing is extremist? how is that fair? all we want is to decide whats right for our nation and our people so why is that extremist?
@@KurtzBraundenbergs it's not just about inmigration: The so-called anti-woke movement, militaristic response as the first option in conflict, climate denialism... you name it.
I'm not specifically placing the spotlight on inmigration. If you ask me, I know little on the topic, and I'm aware it's not as simple as fully opening the doors and expecting things to work out by themselves: the state's ability to take people in and grant basic care and attention to them as well as to its current inhabitants is limited, and that should always be, imho, it's main focus.
On the other hand, asking people to leave our countries when we don't want to stop exploiting theirs I think is quite f*cked up: as far as I know, Africa was quite the naturally wealthy land, filled with natural resources that have been constantly sacked by other countries ever since the colonialist times up to this day.
So there's that, as well.
In the end, I think it's complicated: so many moving pieces forming a whole that I don't think most of us are prepared to comprehed, due to lack of education, research and knowledge, and I think that grand, simple statements such as "Allow all inmigrants in" or "Keep all inmigrants out" hardly make for an answer, more the less a solution to these issues. That's why I think we need more conversation, more information, and less extreme positions: because these don't allow for debate, for exchanging ideas and for the chance of giving in a bit of terrain for the sake of agreement.
Peace, man.

Even the question is ridiculous. Right wing populist parties are not fascists.
1. They don't root for a pure white nation of ethnic germans, italians, french etc. Most of them have no problem with migration from other european states. European right wing populists are pan european - not ultranationalistic. They often speak about the "judeo-christian european culture" wich accorduing to them had to be defended against the middle eastern "invaders".
2. They are not antisemitic. On the contrary, many of these right wing parties are supporting Israel no matter what and accuse all muslims of being antisemitic.
3. They are not militaristic. In fact most of these right wingers were against support for Ukraine, even though Russia was always archenemy of every european Nazi and Ukraine was an allie of the axis forces.
The "fourteen points of facism" presented here are totally arbitrary and some are downright wrong. For instance fascism never appeals to a "frustrated middle class"- they appeal to the white under class. This is their main target group. Also the rejection of modernism doesn't make you fascist and disdain for woman is also not necessarely fascistic. Fascists believe in traditional gender roles but that isn't the same as "disdain for women" as in some incel or sigma male groups or in religious fundamentalist groups, no matter if these fundamentalists are muslim, christian or jewish.
What is even worse is the fact that the most important things are missing.
The most important characteristics of fascism are
- Führerkult (a personal cult around a leader)
- Palingenesis (a higher goal that has to be archived by all means necessary)
- Militarism
- Antisemitism
- Ultranationalism
These 10 points of Jason Stanley describe exactly how right wing populism works but right wing populism is not fascism. It can lead to fascism but it doesn't has to. The USA had a right wing populist leader and the country is still not fascist yet because the institutions prevented it and because Trump is no fascist. He is a selfish idiot who doesn't believe in anything. When he realised that "Project 2025" is unpopular among voters and could cost him the election he couldn't distance himself quickly enough from it. Trump is just an opportunist, real fascists are fanatics who are often willing to die for their believes.
None of your 3 points make sense, fascism isn't defined exclusively by those 3 things.
And the idea that fascists never appeal to a frustrated middle class is hilariously ignorant. A "white under class" is a vague statement that doesn't refute Eco's point.
By definition if you're _middle_ class you are _under_ another class, therefor you are an under class.
You seem to make a bad attempt at handwaving historically accurate characteristics of fascist ideology in an attempt to downplay fascists being fascists.
Eco's list of points are *indicators* of fascism they aren't exclusive definitions of only fascism.
"Fascists believe in traditional gender roles"
For one, this is a meaningless statement since traditional gender roles vary WIDELY across earth and time.
For two, the supposed gender roles you're referring to is that women are inherently less worthy than men and that they are only good for raising children.
This is effectively describing disdain, your cowardly attempt to sugar coat it isn't working.
"no matter if these fundamentalists are muslim, christian or jewish."
Identifying with any of these religions do not exclude you from having fascist characteristics, this is another incoherent attempt at downplaying fascism.
"The most important characteristics of fascism are"
Based on what evidence is this true? Your feelings?
Eco has scholarly research backing his points.
"because Trump is no fascist."
This further betrays how you're downplaying fascism, by calling the most blatant and out and about fascist as not being a fascist.
Being a selfish idiot who doesn't believe in anything falls entirely within Eco's points or any historical fascist leader. You're not refuting the claim.
And no, no historical fascist _leader_ was willing to die for their beliefs. That's why they send others to die in their stead.
I suggest you stop being a coward and just come out and admit you like fascists.
you don't know what lepen family is, they had an affectionate nickname for h*tler ("Tonton Dolphi", meaning Uncle Dolphi), Jean-marie lepen wife's told it in a documentary... and yes Marine Lepen grew up in this family and is now the leader of this party, they just cover it up as much as they can but where do you think fascists go? they will end up in her party and hide while pushing their agendas they are not that stupid, and even if the current state of the party doesn't check your criterias it's still 'extreme droite'
Nearly all your statistics and articles are for immigration to the United States, but you are talking about fascism in Europe. Maybe you should provide statistics for immigration to Europe? Which has a very different makeup to that of the US.
I can definitely believe that a migrant to the US that has basically no social safety net, even for its own citizens would pay into the system more than they take out only 53% of refugees from north Africa and the Middle East have jobs in a country like Sweden, so they can't possibly be paying more into the system than they are taking out.
When Americans make smart-aleck arguments about other countries becoming fascists, I say "Proud Boys!"

The guys who are shouting auslander raus on the streets? Who want to enlist german citizens based on their country of origin? They are the definition of a fascist.
I don’t want to sound like someone from the far right, but you’re only showing one side of the story. You say that migration is good for the economy, but what about the domestic stability of the state? Almost no one in Europe is far right simply because they dislike how immigrants are handled in our countries. We are happy to welcome immigrants when they integrate into our society properly and don’t cause crime.
If you look at statistics in Denmark, many immigrants were poorly integrated, and even both left-wing and right-wing parties acknowledge they need to address it. They’re dragging down the economy because they’re poorer than the average Danish citizen and commit more crimes. Most immigrants are poorly integrated and stick to their own communities without learning the country’s language. This is also happening in France and Germany, where there are no-go zones in certain areas. While Americans might be used to this, in Europe we aren’t, and we don’t want to get used to it.
From your video, I can clearly see that you’re progressive to the point where you view any criticism of migration as slightly fascist. We just don’t want illegal immigration. Look at Poland-it could become a future superpower because it stands firmly against illegal immigration. Migrants in Poland are well-integrated, and they don’t face as many problems with them, largely because it’s easier to integrate people when the cultural differences are minimal.
Even in the Czech Republic, where many people are hesitant to help those who aren’t “our people,” we welcomed Ukrainians, despite significant portions of the population being upset about it. We don’t resort to violence because of it. As I see it, the more culturally similar immigrants are, the easier integration becomes, and as a result, there’s less resentment. However, when immigrants commit three times more crimes than those born in the country, it creates a problem.
From my perspective, immigration is good, but it needs to be managed properly to ensure the stability of the state isn’t put in jeopardy.
7:26 the best defo of fascism comes from mussolini himself : "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power"...by this defo, the US has been under a fascist state for 110 out of the last 150 yrs...
So... the fact that he's trying to say it should go by a different name tells you that the two names actually mean something different. Hitler used a same tactic, literally saying outright that *his* definition of National Socialism was extremely different from the actual meaning of the term National Socialism.
The US is the largest merger of state and private interests on the planet. Every single huge US corporation is a child of the government and the government is totally working for the enrichment of said companies. One and the same, working hand in hand for stealing from the many to benefit the few.
Yeah no what 😂😂😂 also, if that was the case then Monopolies wouldn't exist in the USA now would they?
No. That could be apart of it but it's definitely not one of the main characteristics of fascism
oh so you want to see and understand the world through the ideas of Mussolini? Nice, keep this to yourself
I am Austrian and I am not Right-wing oriented but there is a difference Why At a certain point immigration becomes a problem for us and in America not, or not so quickly, although New York is a good example. Because we are welfare states And a small group of migrants are taking advantage of this and our financial system and our social coexistence are feeling the effects, as this minority usually has no interest in integrating.I have to say again that it is a minority but our democracy has been endangered by the fact that for years people have been saying don't vote for the right or an alternative to what we had That people think they have to overthrow what was before to get change 😅
Yeah you are right wing oriented when your solution to the problems of migration is to stop people from seeking asylum in safe countries instead of rallying against your EU politicians who support all your corporations that strip the rest of the world of resources and arm every conflict bc weapon trade is the most profitable thing. You side with the fascist narratives. You are the liberal who when scratched turns into a fascist.
This guy keep repeating "Immigration isn't a bad thing"
No bro...immigrants with no intents of ever adapting to the european lifestyle and refusing to accept anything, but their own values is definitely a bad thing.

This video is dishonest at best, there is not just one type of immigration, saying all of it is good is just misinformation. Skilled immigration is amazing for the receiving country, yes. Asylum seekers and refugees on the other hand are 99.99% of the times horrible for the economy. The origin country of immigration also plays a huge factor in its economic effects.
The funny thing about neoliberalism is, we have a very early case study that allows for pretty conclusive observations; Chile. Firstly, market dominance must be aggressively enforced against any opposing populist movements, otherwise it can't persist. Secondly, democratic means of reformism are incapable of defeating reactionary efforts and revert measures of privatization for public sectors. Thirdly, the premise of "increasing wealth for all socioeconomic groups" is fundamentally wrong - while average (mean) income usually rises, median income tends to stagnate or decrease, due to inevitable concentration of accumulated capital for a minority of the population. Not to mention the resulting destitute conditions for the significantly sized "bottom" of the socioeconomic hierarchy.
Of course, despite all this, established parties on the alleged "left" (socdems) and the right still treat neoliberalism as without alternative. If not in rhetoric, certainly in their policies.
Talking incorrectly about statistics. As I understand, it's not your fault, but the problem lies in how this information is presented to the public, and everyone just follows it. There was a good RUclips video about immigration and how it affects society and the economy in the EU, with much better statistics.
