@@maliksmith9003 except literally no harm reduction this time around
Not surprised. Centrists can get away with doing basically nothing when times are good. If they do nothing when times are bad, they're just begging to be replaced by anyone offering solutions, regardless of practicality or moral principles
When do you stop relying on centrists to save you?
The parties conveying their anti establishmentness the loudest have been the far right. So it’s no surprise they have gathered a lot of votee
the right should've came to power sooner, since left doesn't seem to want to deal with 1slam
And regular people NEVER pick left-wing solutions but we're somehow supposed to not agree with the right that people are inherently stupid, cruel, and selfish.
Centrist are far right with guilty language
In an era where centrist liberalism has done nothing at all for people, people look for alternatives. Which is now why the far left and unfortunately the far right are becoming increasingly more popular choices for people.
In the US at least I would say that moderate conservatism getting nothing done also contributes to this. Though maybe American moderate conservatism qualifies as centrist liberalism in some definitions? Idk I tend to view them as far-right relative to me anyways.
@@WASDLeftClick "Moderate" conservatives in America have spent the last 50 years training their base to only care about culture war shit, and if they do care about economic issues, they blame it squarely on Dems. They basically have no responsibility to make things better because they never even make the case that they will. They just get people hopped up on fear and spite. Dem voters on the other hand actually do expect the Democrats to make their lives better, so they get disillusioned when it doesn't happen. Republicans just get madder and hate Dems even more, no matter what. Literally the only option to gain popular support among non-fascists right now is a robust populist left coalition that is actually interested in radical change, and willing to talk to libs.
Worth being said the far left wants to actually do things rather than rolling government back in favor of corporations. An interest in universal healthcare and green initiatives isn’t radical, it’s common sense.
I'm starting to hate the libs.
Yes it's neo liberalism still.@@WASDLeftClick
1:46 "We liberals, we are combative, we are resilient... which is why I'm giving up"
I think people in the US are still confused about Europe. In Europe, liberals are not left wing, they aren't even centrist. Liberals are right wing parties in Europe. You could compare them to club for growth type republicans but even on issues as immigration they are often very hawkish.
The exception is the UK where liberals are indeed a more centrist party with many left wing positions.
Just to make clear that in main land european countries liberals are not considered left of centre.
@@MyAnalyserthat’s how it is in america, but the words communist socialist and liberal have been used interchangably so much by conservatives that the differences has been muddied
The prime minister/government always resigns after the elections, this is part of the procedure in Belgium. They then become the interim government until a new one, based on the elections results, has formed.
Should be noted that the support to the far-right seems to be a rejection of current weak SocDem governments. In Demnark, Sweden and Finland where they are centrist governments in charge the results were very different.
In Sweden the left won the EU election. In Finland the far-right Finns party collapsed to less than 8% while the socialist VAS won 17% which is by far their best result ever.
But the biggest win for the Left was probably in Denmark. First the Socialist Peoples Party, an actual socialist party beat the Social Democrats. They got 17% and the SocDems 15% and therefore won the most seats in the election. Oh and if you think that is good, Denmark has 3 socialist parties. Enhedslisten got an additional 7% and the Alternative 3% (although no seat) and is now bigger than the center-left camp (which is made up of the SocDems and Social Liberal "Radical Left" (yes thats their name and it has historical reasons)).
On the other hand Slovakia voted 12% for the Hitler party. Not like the AfD but the "Yes we are Hitler Party" their AfD collapsed to like 2%.
Even in France the left wing parties also gained quite a bit, together probably a similar amount as Le Pen.
@@PhilfreezeCH Yeah, people are not staying in the center anymore. Anyone who cares about politics has already picked a side and went with it.
I cannot believe enhedslisten got any votes at all in denmark. I read their pary program a few days ago. What a piece of garbage on paper. almost as bad as norways rødt party program... I am scared to read the Socialistisk Folkeparti program. their norwegian sisterparty SV is almost as garbage as rødt, but just almost....
Don't forget the Groenlinks won in the Netherlands with the fascists losing support. Sinn Fein won in Ireland. The far right lost support in comparison to a year ago in Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, Germany with the AfD (which lost 7 percent since the protests) and in Sweden and Finland. The best the far right had it in Latvia.
''Economy do good, left gets elected'' isn't exactly a new concept. The Nordic countries are doing good right now, compared to everyone else.

@@TotallySerious44 Fascism: A far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalistic ideology and movement characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, and a belief in a natural socialized hierarchy.

The far Right and the less skilled, unorganized workers have always had a relationship in Western societies. Even Marx noted this.
When economic, social, and cultural uncertainty exist, then the least secure in society will choose those who offer stability and the status quo.
It is the more skilled, organized, and aspirational workers (including white collar, pink collar, artistic, scientific and technical workers) who are at times willing to take a chance on progressive reform.
Let's be real, it correlates most heavily to education because conservatism becomes less appealing the more critical thinking you can engage in. Nationalism is for people who have little in the way of individual identity outside of an ingroup, and even less ability to discern cause and effect, a skill that is learned and not innate.
@@FelisImpurrator Everyone is capable of forms of critical thinking.
But with less resources, selecting the most seemingly stable political leadership is a rational choice. Change is often dangerous. The status quo is known.
The highly educated are more indoctrinated in the elite ideological structures of society. They require layers of abstract rationale to justify political choices (which often end up just naked selfish interest anyway).
@@stephenbailey9969 Critical thinking is a skill developed through use, but it is actively suppressed by the powerful. Also, you do realize that nationalist parties aren't actually advocating for the status quo, right? That would be the weak centrists whose platform is literally nothing changing. What these people promise is some pie in the sky dream that you're just expected to believe can be achieved through cultural, demographic, and ideological homogeneity. They are promising change but in bad ways, and in orser to accept these false promises wholesale, your thought processes have to be subjugated by propaganda to the point of not acknowledging reality or connecting cause and effect together.
You're right about one thing though. Sort of. My ideological alignment is indeed an expression of naked self-interest. That's why I'm a leftist, because my interest is in life being unconditionally better without useless hindrances like national identity or class distinctions. Socioeconomic equity would provide the greatest benefit to me - the least amount of bothersome social structures involved, among other things (unlike class-stratified wealth monopolization and the cultural baggage that entails). Cultural diversity also benefits me because it makes life richer and more interesting, and naturally dissolves useless wastes of time and energy like, say, racism.
@@FelisImpurrator It depends on what you call critical thinking. Formal or environmental or interpersonal or practical.
The elites privilege and reward that form which is utilitarian for their needs.
But all people are capable of it in some modality.
Centrists usually are those whose moral outlook overrides naked interest or a radical ideology. Their role is as society's peacemakers: the status quo is preserved by meeting the needs of all sectors of society through incremental reform.
As for your ideological choice, I thank you for sharing. Your self-reflection is an asset. It will be helpful in your future life.
@@stephenbailey9969 What's with the bizarrely patronizing tone of that "thank you for sharing", as if you think you're a teacher congratulating a student in a perfunctory way? I'm not interested in seeking validation from random strangers.
That confusingly pointless attitude aside, how do you define those four terms you enumerated, and what theory or system is being referenced?
And again, you're contradicting yourself. You claimed that people vote for the status quo, but this is about people not voting for the status quo and instead throwing their lot in with those who (falsely) promise a return to an idealized, imagined past. Nor do centrists actually ever seem to "meet the needs of all sectors" in any current government; empirically it seems they've spent the majority of their time preserving hierarchies of unequal power and catering to the interests of those on top through virtually no reform, creating the current problem.
Hi, Belgian here! I want to add some context to this video because the article is quite misleading.
In the recent elections, the right did indeed make gains and the Prime minister, ALexander De Croo, resigned right after the elections. However the article would make you believe that his resignation was done in response to the right-wing parties winning. It's not! The Belgian PM is FORCED to present his resignation to the King after the elections happened to leave space for the new Government that will be formed shortly after.
To give you the complete process: After the elections, it is time for the parties to form a coalition of more than 50% of seats in Parliament. Once they have done that, this coalition can form a new Government. In the mean time, The PM presents his resignation to the King along with the resignation of the entire current Government. As per protocol, the King does not accept his resignation yet and he tells them to keep operating as Government until the coalition is formed. This Government operates with reduced powers. When the coalition is finally formed and the new Government has been decided upon, the King formally accepts the old PM's resignation and the new Government can take the place of the old one.
"Shortly after" lol
@@lucasbusselen9137 Yeah ok, that's fair xD

_Hello darkness my old friend..._
The "problem" with the whole anti-immigration discourse is that most of the people who are hardcore Islamists aren't immigrants. They are second and third generation immigrants who are full citizens. That's more like the Bliterite stuff in the US, you couldn't kick out black Americans because they are antisemitic.
It's not only black Americans who are antisemitic. In fact, most of that Blitlerite stuff is online Hoteps that the algorithm pushes.

Please note that in Belgium the prime minister ALWAYS resigns after the elections. The way it is phrased makes it seem like the resignation is tied to his party's loss. This is not related at all. The resignation of the prime minister is part of the "procedure".
Shit's crazy here in Belgium but we kinda expected this. NVA was already really popular in the Flemish region, what we feared was the "Vlaams Belang" becoming the biggest party in the region. On the bright side the left party "Vooruit" made big gains but the Green party shat itself in this election with big losses everywhere. Also the "Sanitair doctrine" which we call Cordon Sanitair is a doctrine that isolates the Vlaams Belang party from any possible coalitions, the head of the NVA party Bart De Wever had already said that he wouldn't want a coalition with Vlaams Belang. Wheter he keeps to his words nobody knows but Bart De Wever himself. A point of note is how the center right party "MR" als made so many big gains in the Wallonia region where people usually vote more left. Also to Vaush, Belgium is really important. It is the capital of Europe after all if it becomes more distant to the EU then the EU wont last.
How did you forget the record victory of the PVDA/PTB? Especially in Brussels and Antwerp
@@mumblerapkilla5406 That was kinda expected I myself voted for PVDA and can you guess where I am from? I was looking at it from a macro scale but you're right PVDA did perform amazingly in Antwerp with 21% making them the second largest party in that district behind NVA. A performance you would expect form Vooruit which was formerly known as SPA (Socialistische partij anders). It was to be expected considering how migration policy in Belgium in general has shifted right and with PVDA keeping the old policy despite political climate made them gain much of the vote from ethnic minorities which so happen to be in those ditricts. They also gained alot from their strategy in targeting younger more progressive voters through their use of social media platforms like Tiktok.
I would be more nuanced on the Wallonia region. The socialist party decided to be in the opposition, which never happened since the World War II (I could be wrong on the timeline). Lets not forget about the PTB electoral gain (party of belgian workers) seen as pariah from the belgian right wing (flemish and walloon)... and the green party becoming basically irrelevant.
MR party is not center right but definitely right wing to me. The xenophobia in this party is rampant, the language used is telling.
The NATO headquarters is also in Belgium if that matters.
I guess thats about it. To hell with Bart, NVA is pretty similar to whats happening in Catalonia.
Dont forget the PTB
Truly there aren’t really any countries that “don’t matter”. Most nations have some kind of primary export that we consume or use regularly, or have connections and relationships to one another. But voosh is American so the main character syndrome will manifest from time to time

French people: well, actually no.

Holy European cope. Vaush says factual information, and you can only response "b-b-but merican!"
@@somerandommen He doesn't knows a lot abt it, judging by it's comment, but it's fair, Belgium is a small country with a particulary difficult political system.
the Communists in Belgium also did very well in the elections, especially in the Flemish region
Especially in Brussels*. But the french results are disappointing.
Too bad they're a tankie infested nightmare 😢
Not really, theyre filled with "normal" people
@@pinkomoore They want to quit NATO which is insane and dangerous
Please, for goodness sake look into things before making comparisons please. In Belgium, it's normal procedure for a Prime minister to resign after a federal election. It's standard, even if you win. The king appoints the 'winner' of the elections to be the formation maker of the next federal government (which may or may not be the current prime minister).
So yes, far right and less-than-far-right has clearly won the elections (which as a progressive Flemish/Belgian galls me to no end) but the resignation of the prime minister is not some kind of big honking sign of weakness or defeatism. It's standard. The fact his party went to single digits in the results is the reason he's this depressed, but not the cause of his resignation.
It's also important to note that the only parties that gained in this election are the clear right-wing AND left-wing/green parties. And while yes, the right was bigger and remains bigger by a wide margin, a lot of the gains they booked were from protest votes from disillusioned centrist voters, just like the Green and even the Marxist worker's parties did.
It terrifies me to see the trend towards the right without clear indication of a strong counter-movement, but it's not hopeless nor clear-cut 'Belgium is fascist now'.
? The greens lost massively
@@amberjanssens3826 Biggest party in the Brussels capital region after being the ruling fraction and doing massive reforms on traffic e.a. - being rewarded by +/- 4000-5000 more votes. I call that a big win.
But yes, you are correct, they lost quite some ground in many other places, so maybe my interpretation for the greens is looking through a too optimistic lens.
Just to be clear: right wing does not automatically mean fascist. Right wing is not a bad thing, especially in a country like Belgium (except VB). Vlaams Belang clearly is fascist whilst N-VA and Open VLD are definitely not. They would even be considered more left leaning in America; neoliberals.
I wouldn't worry about the people voting more right wing (as long as VB remains out of the picture). People are angry and disillusioned with the current political climate and they want change. After the right leaning parties have also showed that they don't keep their promises, they'll vote more left-leaning again. And after a few years, when the lefties also don't keep their promises, they'll vote right-leaning again. + Europe has too much of a power grip on its countries for them to truly go rogue.
What isgoing on is an equation. If people feel immigation has run amok, true or false, and they have an image of their societies having real and serious problems as a result while the current regimes are only talking about cosmetic non-issues (in the eyes of the larger public) they will vote for whoever states that the problem is what the people believe it to be. Thus, the politicians on the left and center has failed completely at their task and the far right wins. What is actually reality is not that relevant here, as long as the masses believe to have spotted the main problem. Populists will use this perfectly well and mop the floor of "intellectuals" who have no idea about reality and how the mind works.
Keep talking about issues that the majority does not have any understanding about and the far-right only needs to speak a language the voter can understand to win.
The left didn't lose in this election. Social democracy barely lost any votes and there were much more countries where a leftreformist movement won the election. I see broght future ahead if we can beat the fascists.
The part that still perplexes me is how anyone could actually conclude that immigration or cultural diversity is responsible for any of these major social problems that very definitely existed when these places were more homogeneous. I do not know how anyone arrives at that conclusion... beyond listening to talking heads spout propaganda with zero critical thinking applied.
I'm just not sure how someone can actually believe that immigration is responsible for all those problems, even though the same problems definitely existed beforehand. Ingroup identity nonsense is completely alien to me, and the far-right arguments fall apart under literally any level of scrutiny, so I don't understand how people can believe something so fervently with zero evidence or substantive reasoning.
I don't think that's true. In France, as the major parties started talking more and more about immigration and other subjects dear to the far right, the National Front kept getting up in polls.
I don't think it has anything to do with WHAT you're talking about but HOW you're talking about it and WHO lets you say it. And for years french TV (which a lot of people still watch) has been like 90% in the hands of centrists who had no interest of actually informing people about immigration, to take only your example. Now it's in the hands of neoliberals and far-right billionaires, and they have a vested interest in having people understand absolutely nothing about immigration. Thus even if you're left wing and manage to go on some TV program to talk about immigration and bring facts and they feel like you might be able to contradict them, they'll try to corner you on some detail and won't let you speak.
It's not about what "the People" think is the real problem. It's about what the people who control the media want us to think is a problem.
@@anwa3237 it's the same here in the US when the Dems try to out-right the Republicans. It doesn't work because if you want to limit immigration you're gonna go with the real deal, not the posers.
Tbf there are some major differences between these right wing parties and the MAGA movement. The European parties for the most part still nominally respect the democratic process, whereas MAGA has outright attempted (and still is attempting) to destroy it. There are also differences on how far to the right these parties are. As an example, about the only things the Swedish Democrats can be considered “far right” on is immigration and in their nationalistic tendencies but are otherwise center-right on social issues and center-left economically (they actually originated as a very far right party but have since moderated their policies), but some parties like the AFD (which coincidentally originated as national Conservative Party but has since shifted far to the right) are leaning dangerously close to resurrecting the N@zi party and are outright climate deniers. They’ve become too far right for even many of the other right wing parties to support in the EU elections.
My main source of persistent confusion is... Why? Why does anyone ever subscribe to these ideologies? It's incomprehensible to me when being right-wing just seems to involve rejecting all basic facts about reality (arranged on a continuum depending on how far right you go), and wanting life to be less interesting and less fulfilling. What do people even get out of nationalism? A pathetic substitute for having an interesting personality?
Lol you’re mentally ill
Getting power the legit way is only the first step. They'll work within liberal democracy as long as they have to before they can attempt some form of coup, either through violence (Trump's jan 6th) or through softer means (Orban buying every media outlet in Hungary). If the AfD is becoming more openly n@zi, it's not because they're inherently different from the swedish far-right, it's because the german political climate makes them feel like they can let the mask slip. Plus it's not like it would be the first time fashs adopt a left-leaning economic program to appeal to the working class (then promptly trash it when they need funding from banks and megacorps).
"They were very far right but then moderated their policies" sounds like a lot of croc. That's what the National Front/National Rally in France did, but under the hood they're still the same old racist, colonialist, collaborationist pieces of shit.
Really depends on the country I guess: Our major right wing party (Austria) FPÖ borrows a lot off the MAGA narratives and actively wants to change things in a worse direction for everyone except themselves while blaming some boogieman for those same changes.
We don't have a right wing problem here, we have a right wing extremism problem. (The "normal" right wing party ÖVP is fairly moderate imo)
@@Akab What do you mean, not a right-wing problem? Since when have "moderate" conservatives ever been any better than a "smaller problem"? What do they ever add to a situation that's like. Actually good?
The right-wing lost in Sweden. :)
Didnt the swedish left adopt the anti immigrant policies of the far right?
"Neutralize the far right by being like them" isnt the win you think it is.
For now. Socioeconomic conditions will inevitably force Sweden down a path that leads away from liberal democracy and just like every other Western country ever, they‘ll need to choose between socialism and fascism, and fascism is a lot more accepted across the board, including Sweden.

My brother or sister (or enby) in whatever deity you do or do not belive in Myanmar is allredy an right wing millitary dictatorships that is currently losing its civil war to center left and left wing rebel coalition while Thailand (and Mexico) elected an center left to left government (well Thailand is like half democracy half millitary dictatorship so their politics are strange) and I don't know how Iran could become more right wing considering they are an fundamentalist Islamic oligarchy (or Autocracy they are somewhere in between) not to mention the "far right" and "fascism" is the most variable ideology in the known universe, an Thai fascist would be indistinguishable form an US MAGA Fash or an French Fash that's is why fascist cannot form coalitions between themselves as their ideologies have no common ground aside form MABYE the name
Unlike any other political ideology witch, despite regional differences, can form international coalitions in fact the more "internationalist" an ideology is the more it can form multi national coalitions and since fascism is very nationalistic it is fundamentally prevented form doing this
@@U.F.R.G I know that, I said the sentiments are widespread among society, like blood and soil nationalism in nusantara, the attacks on women in Iran, and the trucker protests in Canada.

@@charleynilsson5543 that‘s not "the left", that’s liberals. Germany had that phase too, where the AfD got really strong and then declined in support leading up to the 2021 federal election.

Proper left-wing parties will be the deciding factor, presenting an alternative vision to fascism.
There's no real meaningful way to test "values" because those aren't a real (in the sense of "actually measurable and testable") thing. Most people at most times just kind of make up the answers based on their emotional state, their socioeconomic conditions, and so on.

You really need to keep in mind that victory for the far right in the EU elections don't necessarily reflect on the population as a whole whole
A lot of countries do not view it as very important compared to their government elections. France is one of them which is one of the many reasons why they suck
Here in Finland the "Basic Finns Party", which is a xenophobic far right party, lost all but one of their European Parliament seats because they are the main government party together with the conservative party and they broke all their pre-election promises about NOT cutting from the unemployed, students or retirees. So Finnish people punished them harshly and we will probably punish them in the next general elections too.
yea also the leftwing opposition got 7 seats out of 15, with the left alliance surging to 2nd
Finns keep getting the W
The prime minister "resigning" is perfectly normal by the way; after the election the existing cabinet goes into "running affairs" until the new government coalition is ready.
The way they make it sound is like "he lost so he was sad" but actually he's just doing what he's supposed to do. FT messed up a bit.

Also, when you do the math, the vote in flanders was more left than in 2019 but the center continues to be hollowed out. Greens lost but there were big gains for the communists and left party ("vooruit").

I think the USA and UK will probably keep going down the path of progressiveness long term. You can just look at the demographics in those countries, young people are left wing, it's the shrinking oldheads who vote right in these countries.
It's the opposite in mainland europe, Young people are having a ethnocentrist revival. That makes sense since America's whole ethos is about being an immigrant nation, its very hard for them to really become an ethnostate, Europe is just inherently more traditionalist in how their society is built.

@@FelisImpurrator It's about pseudohistorical romanticism and their Paradox larp of choice. Oh, and just very boring kind of fear-driven racism.
@@FelisImpurrator It's in group thinking. Vaush mentioned how Conservatives have a stronger disgust and fear response.
I am a swiss, I totally forgot Belgium existed…
Ironic
Isn't the extreme far right in Europe like the US democratic party?
Just right wing, not far right
no not even close, the far right is still far right, they may be less genocidal than republicans, but they are not far behind
no
US dems are center right liberals in europe.
No
The immigrant crisis over here in Europe is one of the biggest reasons more centrist / conservative ( not the same as alt / far right) parties are gaining popularity. It's one of the issues a lot of people agree on the most, regardless of political party. And since the more left leaning parties have not followed through with much wanted immigration restrictions from Africa and the Middle East, people will vote centrist / conservative instead. Might be a tough pill to swallow but thats it..
Ya I assume you are still dealing with a large influx of refugees? I remember there was a lot of pushback with the initial influx of Syrian refugees, especially within Germany. Europe is kinda stuck with receiving a lot of refugees still due to proximity.
My favorite youtuber Vaush "I hate the nation state but don't let some people in based on a 'values test'"
I'm sorry, WHAT
The worst thing is that in Germany most people aged 16 - 24 voted for the conservative and far right party, granted I don't know how many young people actually voted but shit is scary.
Because they can see their country being invaded right infront of their eyes. That's why.
Left wing parties overperformed in Nordics after they started actively campaigning like the right did in France and Germany. These parties need to start getting more aggressive in other places across Europe if they want to stem the tide. French left wing parties are forming a popular front which is a good sign, but whether its enough remains to be seen.
It is part of the procedure in Belgium for the prime minister to resign after elections
It's so weird to hear vaush talk about our little shithole country
surprisingly good pronounciation on "Vlaams Belang", like it's not good but way better than I expected
lmao what a jumpscare seeing alexander de croo
we habben een serieus probleem
What's great about Dutch, Flemish, Friesian, or whatever swapDeutsch that is, it that it could equally be an English language typo on a smartphone, and no one could tell the difference.
Video title: The Far Right is Winning Everywhere!
The video: "A kinda right wing party with some kinda good/kinda bad policies won in a mostly irrelevant country."
Ok, I'm being facetious but seriously, letting even the mildly right wing gain a foothold only helps the more extreme far right down the line.
I actually ran in these elections. The situation is more interesting than Vaush made appear. The right (MR and les Engages) had a historic win in Wallonia, but they are centrists/conservative liberals. Uniquely there is no (relevant) fascist party in Wallonia, probably because of the "cordon médiatique", a ban on far-right parties in francophone media.
Vlaams Belang, a fascist party with ties to Russia, Assad and China, was projected to become the largest party in Flanders. Surprisingly they did not and NVA (Reagan republicans) remained the largest party.
Primeminister De Croo's Party Open VLD (Moderate-Conservative Liberals) had a historic loss. So did the green party. On the other side Vooruit (Blairite social-democrats) and PVDA (marxists) had massive successes. Belgium is one of the few countries that actually has a good left oposition that was able to influence the discourse enough for the far right to fall short of its goals and, in good leftist fashion, dragged the social democrats to victory. PVDA Also became the second largest party in Antwerp , and the third largest in Brussels (about 20% of the vote).
I feel like Belgium deserves a bit of credit housing the EU capital, we sort of accidentally got the role of representing EU compromise politics, so even our right wing is fairly liberal
checking english wikipedia to find out what a Belgium PM stands for and concluding why they failed is a really flat analysis, your viewers are right there.
that sums like 90% of european ring wing parties
they want more balanced and well maintained wellfare policies like better healthcare, better education, support abortion and same sex marriage, generally not too involved with trans issues sometimes even supportive
its just that in europe what makes someone right wing is some very minor things that even most left leaning parties share
but also to degree how they want to solve migration crisis, even when the left wants to solve it as well
If only they were more like Quebec
Hard *Pass* 😩
Nah, we're getting there as well.
as an eu citizen *I* underestimate the power of european racism
If there is problems with testing what people believe about caliphate, then one could test for past actions instead as that's a better check on what people believe whether they admit it or not.
E.g. past anti democratic actions in general, like activism for a theocracy, activism for fascism etc.
That makes more sense to an extent, but honestly, I don't think it's even really possible to meaningfully gauge something as nebulous and made-up as "moral values". That's not even what informe most people's behavior in most circumstances. True zealots, not motivated by material factors, are exceedingly rare.
Maybe this wouldn't have happened if the left hadn't completely gone off the rails. 🤷♂
Not everywhere.
To be fair, they did decrease in Sweden, at least...
pvda on toppp
i love vaush critisizing tom van grieken. FInally fasion arc used for good
Doing the right thing is never sexy. Decent people need to take power by whatever means available. Not through the standard guidelines. In order to avoid a catastrophe, decent people everywhere must act. Across class lines in lock step.
Belgium mentioned 🔥🔥🔥
It's not fun in Europe right now...
just a note: as this was a general election for Belgian Government, De Croo hàd to resign as a PM, because it was the end of his government.
also, the main idea for both right wing parties isn't anti-migration (though it is very important to them), it is the independence of the Flemish region, or ending Belgium.
I like the last idea. I can drain a 3 and live in America with all the ballers
It's OVER
Except Britain as we're about go get a Labour government.... However if Keir fails, in 4 years, we WILL have a far right government.
Wait, when and where did Voosh react to the Caliphate stuff in Germany? I have to see that.
he didnt
nva isnt far right, they are centerright. Which is meh but not as bad as vlaams belang winning. Alexander de croo is a very inlikable person. He sucks, his party is centrist and sucks too. Tbh I'm happy he is gone
To give an example of how ignorant voters in europe can be: Ever since the pandemic my mom tells me that I was right about my claims about the government. My claim was that the government can change the law.
Every day I'm further convinced that my decision to move to a property the middle of nowhere and work as a property caretaker was justified and not at all the unhinged actions of a paranoiac.
Speaking about Belgium.
Belgium is a federative state. We basically have two governments. While in the Flanders rights are about to win, in the south in Wallonia there is a very strong socialist government which is 100% about to win here because they actually do staff.
???
MR (right) and Les Engagés (centre) gained 10% each, and the PS is a terrible corrupt party
People are ignoring the fact that it’s generally the more centrist side of the right wing that’s taking power globally.
And I feel like that’s important to consider - it’s not an embrace of the far-right, it’s a critique of the political gridlock of the left-leaning governments in power. Ignoring that means missing the obvious lessons on where to go from here.
This it was funny to see the Belgium PM cry
5:20 spitting facts.
07:48 Preach!!
Well i am Belgium and i am watched many leftist RUclipsrs and made a huge impact on how i feel about politics but unfortunately i know too little about my own country but i think this is the jist..
NVA is a right wing party that works with CD&V( a center right party) and Vooruit( sorta left leaning party al-though the head person made a really racist comment on hitting (racial slur) with police batons) luckily NVA refuses to work with Vlaams Belang despite VB pleating to work with NVA.
Shockingly both main parties came close like NVA was like 33 percent and VB was like 31 percent.
Alas anti-migration sentiments are huge here..
Extremism begets extremism. The excesses of the Left have caused the Right to surge. The further Left you push, the further right the pendulum will eventually swing back. Take ownership of this situation because you've worked so hard to bring it about.
The Summer of Milei-se.
The only redeeming thing is that we're now soon back to 2004 where everyone who is anti-government is based and trustworthy.
Maybe I can make friends easier now.
Only one comment criticizing people who make “fell off memes,” bro fell off.
No? He clearly overstimates the European of european Liberals
I honestly hope this doesn't reflect how the November American elections will go.
So long, blue!
After Roe v Wade, I doubt it
Hi
7:36 Why is this guy speaking English? Isn't it supposed to be "Dutch only"?
immigration ....
Here in France everyone midly left-leaning gets absolutely shit on the second they step foot on any TV show, the results of last election is not surprising. In fact i'd say the liberals engineered this, the far right is a easy opponent to win against, that's a big part of how macron got elected in the first place.
At least left parties are forming a coalition against the far right for the coming legislative elections, but it would've been nice to see this for the last ones....
FUD FUD FUD FUD
In Denmark we got tired of the center left dems, so most of their votes went to a more left leaning party, yet this did nothing for the eu election as Denmark is a country smaller than the average US state. Just sayin'
I kinda dislike those doomer titles which are also just not true lol.
Actually fell off bro, less than a billion comments in 2 seconds, old vaush would be saddened...
11:02 10/10
Letting the overpretencious halfcorrupt socdems get a lession for doing nothing.. at least in norway next.. I am not voting socialist or socdems next year.. No way.
Voosh fell off Tacoma wept when the video got less than 2 million views in 5 minutes
I might be progressive for many things but I am anti immigration to a certain degree. That being said I called this years ago when they started this mass immigration thing in Europe.
If by "they" you means the US and Russia starting war in Syria. That is what started the mass immigration, not any political party in Europe.
People just vote like pendulum swings... "Left wing won last time, my life didn't get better., I guess I have to vote for the right wing this time". Sometimes I feel like democracy is overrated 😂
"it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried”
But that does not happen. Look at the UK where Tories term after term made lives of the citizens worse to such extent that corpse of Oliver Cromwell would defeat them in upcoming elections (still, dont underestimate power of Labour to snatch defeat from maws of victory). In some other EU states, center left was norme for decades until losing to the RW in last election cycle. Its not pendulum
Absolutely. Voting is immoral
@@paulblichmann2791 Today's conservative = immorality, or selective morality according to how much money and influence you have.
If that were true than why are we (belgians) stuck with conservatives like effing herpes. They've been among the most popular parties for a loooong time now.
