The rise of right-wing fascism is due to mass immigration and muslim extremism.
People find the presence of large numbers of foreigners extremely threatening.
People find the usurping of their endemic customs and ways threatening.
In general I don’t think they mind seeing a few people in ethnic garb. It’s when this becomes a mass and they start taking over areas and displacing the locals. They resent the situation. They do not want to see mosques springing up all over the place. They do not want to see their culture displaced in their own country.
Couple this with terrorism, hate speech and fire-brand extremists spouting about taking over and we have a recipe for disaster. It fuels thugs like Tommy Robinson and right-wing parties.
Populists like Trump and Farage have been quick to jump on this bandwagon and inflame the fears. The extreme right has been painting a vivid picture of immigrants being scroungers, rapists, murderers and criminals. They stir up the fear to create hate.
This results in knee-jerk responses. All across the Western world right-wing politicians are whipping up fear and hate, proposing mass deportations and building walls. It gets them elected.
We don’t need fear and we don’t need hate. We don’t need populist right-wingers creating isolationist policies.
We do need understanding, intelligence, compassion and solutions.
We have to end mass immigration.
We have to end muslim terrorism.
We have to integrate immigrants into our culture. If they want to live in our country they live by our rules. That isn’t to say they have to abandon their own culture and religion but we have to find ways to live together in peace without fear, suspicion and hatred.
To end mass immigration I believe we have to look at the causes of mass immigration (not build walls). The causes are war, political chaos, extreme poverty and climate change.
Until these are addressed we will have mass immigration.
The cause of muslim terrorism is war, poverty and chaos. Muslims perceive that the West is attacking them, their culture and religion.
It is obvious that we cannot take all the millions in need from impoverished countries. We do not have the room or facilities.
In my opinion the problem with the world is that far too much wealth and power is in the hands of a handful of billionaires. We need to help solve the Third World problems so that there isn’t this disparity. We need to stop the wars.
We need to solve climate change.
Mass immigration, in my opinion, is the product of greed. We need a fairer world.
