It tends to go that way when there's been a shift too far to the left, problem is the EU is very liberal IMHO and that gets up the nose of the working classes.

I will think that come the next 40 years the EU will be a shadow of itself history says if you fail to learn from the mistakes your doomed to repeat them, i foresee a massive economic down turn in the EU inside the next 2 decades.

I also think the next country to leave on their own accord will l be France.

Some people cannot stand the idea of foreign people coming into their country, even if they are fugitives. There are certainly some economic fugitives, and some criminals, and those deliver the ammunition for the far right-wingers to discredit all.
Maybe Europe is too liberal when it comes to immigration, and there are problems, and the rise of the right wing parties in Germany especially in economical weak counties like Saxonia and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern will be a problem. I still think it is better to help fugitives, but i seem to be pretty alone here.

What i absolutely miss is a european-wide clear position regarding immigration to all countries. We cannot let Greece and Turkey take the burden, while on the other hand Romania just closes its borders, while Germany seemingly ignores problems and gets on with business as usual.

edit: the EU indeed creates immigration numbers for its members to accept, usually based on financial strength and the number of the nation's inhabitants, to allow for a certain percentage of immigrants. Certain members like Romania simply refuse though. Of course e.g. Poland is not the classical immigration country, so it is easier for them. Romania is just putting on a show, while England (ab)uses real or made-up immigration numbers for its brexit. Fact is also that according to international law, a lot of countries would have to accept more immigrants than even the EU planned, for its members. So if e.g. England leaves and accepts international law, there will be even more immigrants. Or it disregards this law.

I would like to see the real actors in the Middle East to take responsibility, and accept immigrants. But the US are far away, and Russia does not seem to be the #1 choice for immigrants. Not that they would let them in anyway.

Let me get this straight

After having read the original article

I got the feeling or understanding that:

If you belong to the rightwing and, or are critical to EU more less you are either nazi or fascist.

I belong to the rightwing(not extreme though) and are critical to the way EU have turned into.

I for once are NOT nazi or fascist.

I see myself as an rightwing leftis.

Going forward more and more people will be on the move to countries that offer the chance of a better life, economically and politically. Spurred on by the successes of those that have gone before them they will all soon come to believe it is their turn and they deserve exactly the same.

Unfortunately, religious beliefs are seldom compromised and as history has shown are not very compatible or interchangeable.

Climate change, war, famine, water shortages all loom on the horizon. Countries that accept everyone who wants to come now, will at some point have to face the reality that they can accept no more. Yet more and more want to come and will arrive at the door with arms outstretched and will not accept that the inn is full.

Those who have already arrived, are not really interested in integrating into a new society. They are not inherently accepting of the the value system in their new country but choose to overlook this in the short term as they establish themselves in their own nationalist communities to promote and support their own values, their own prejudices and their own morality in addition to all the other belief baggage they bring with them.

More legitimate and faux refugees will come. All will circumvent the established processes for legal immigration. If you detect a problem now, just wait a few years. Wait for the newcomers to establish and organize themselves and begin to gain political influence first at the local level then the national level. Wait for the sectarian conflicts to flare up, pitting Mohammad against Jesus and against any other differing religious outlooks.

Wait for the violence to begin to spread. First in the inner cities, then slowly outward. Neighborhood by neighborhood. Knives, guns, acid attacks, rapes, thefts. Those that do not accept "our" laws, customs and norms of behavior, feel no compunction to conform. To them it is "their" way against "our" way and only one way can prevail. We sit back and scratch of heads wondering why our generosity and compassion is not enough. To those who wish to prevail, we, with our sentimentality are seen as being weak. Ripe to be exploited as that is how they have lived for generations in their own countries.

This is going to get much worse in very short order. Europeans will get out of bed one day and find they are a minority in their own country. Their country will no longer reflect their views as immigration will have supplanted the old national identity and pride with a new one based on legal precepts and religious ideology that is foreign to us.

We are sitting back and allowing our politically correct politicians to give away our birth right under the guise of humanitarianism. We are too timid to stop them. Can they be stopped?

We are making our own beds and we will certainly have to sleep in them.

When Europe is supplanted, the move will be westward to other countries with advantageous social programs and liberal and permissive attitudes. More lambs for the slaughter and more toe holds on foreign soil to advance an age old expansionist ideology that makes Russia seem tame by comparison.

As an aside, of course the "immigrants" don't want to go to Russia, no social programs, no free healthcare, no lavish monthly stipend to pay for all the new must haves needed in a country with a high standard of living. The refugees thus far have not gone to the first safe haven they can reach, they have all gone further than necessary to reach the very richest of countries, with the most generous handouts. If they have to struggle and tolerate hard times, they may as well stay where they are - no the easy life is what they think they are being offered, the good life what they believe they have been promised and that is all they are interested in accepting.

Wish to stop the refugees in their tracks, eliminate their unfettered access to social programs and they will immediately go elsewhere.

Me, I'm all for offering a hand up but not necessarily an unlimited handout. If my hand gets bitten in the process, I will stop. When my country's passports find their way to terrorist organizations around the world, I get mad. When I see my generosity and acceptance being taken for granted, I see it for what it is - being taken advantage of and an insult.

Thankfully, I'm old enough that I shouldn't have to see this mess unfold to its logical conclusion in the decades to come. Me, I'm going back to my submarine and patrol the Mediterranean looking for skiffs leaving Africa headed for the new promised land where all the streets are paved with gold and it's perfectly acceptable to rip up the streets when you get there.

Unrestricted liberal political correctness is going to be the end of us all and most of us are too caught up in our own fantasy world to see it coming.

Right now Germany does not deport more than 9 out of 10 asylum seekers whose request was officially denied. Even existing mandatory laws get violated by state governments in a bid to not deport people. Additonally, most laws in existence make it hilariously difficult to deprot people even if their asylum request has been denied - and they make these laws ever more complex all the time, it seems, and I suspect with the inention to hinder deportation. Most of therejected asylum seekers - still stay. And of the few that gets send out by force, several ones simply come back again. They may have villated laws, they may have been caught by the police for crime deeds - that all is no reason as well to send them away.I do not even talk abot the many, many foreigners who simply disappear form the screen of the authorities, just "vanish".

And words on this practice makes the round in Africa and the ME.

The Germans are stupid, wallowing in their emotions exclcusively, and ignoring reason completely.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28f

German self-description par exellence. Save me.

Only a fraction of the migranst who arrived in the past three years, work. Of these, the overwhelming majority work in low-wage jobs that do not allow to form the basis of self-sustainability . In case of a recession, this kind of jobs is the first shutting down and firing people.

Germany has imported hundreds of thousands and millions of social wellfare receivers. BTW, it is expected that the economic boom in Germany will come to an end this year. Recession is knocking on the doors.

So...

Moral megalomania that totally ignores any realities. It stinks to heaven. And it makes me sick that I get blackmailed for state protection mony to pay for this ####. Its not as if we had not had no people in need ourselves already. As a state, Germany has been run in a mode that consumes reserves in recent years, and maintenance of existing structures was underfunded. The results have started to show since long.

Does not matter.

At the same time it can be questioned whether there really is a shortage for experts and craftsmen and so forth, as it is claimed. It seems there are quite enough specilaised employees, still - its just that they are expected to work for very low wages not honouring their qualification. The industry and employers demand them to work for less. Germany is an outstanding low wage country in the western industrial sphere, reslt of gionvenrments constantly fuelign inflation and subsidizing schmes, which of course both necessarily distort a healthy selection of capable and incapable companies. In the EU, in the past 10 years the rate of uncompetitive companies that get kept alive only by massive finaciaol aid and subsidies, has jumped from 5% to over 15%. And these zombie companies damage the whole system, and suck off more and more ressources. A high unemployment rate is a dream for employers, it allows them to keep wages low. Thats what explains best why they desperately want to raise migration.

For service should be offered, and work shoudl be done. Its just that people do not want to pay for it what it is worth by market standards.

The implication is that the migrants one imports are understood to be - slaves.

Slaves,: or wallowing in precious German sentiments of moral posing: it depends on who reflects on the Völkerwanderung that happens now: the big companies and the industry, or the garden gnome counting German morale apostle.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

We must do like the Australians. And I add: we must not hide it, but broadcast it live on African TV.

Sure, I read it. The reality is pretty self-evident if one is honest. People, in this case Europeans, are shifting their support to what they perceive to be the lesser of two evils.

Fundamentally, people have lost control of their own governments. Democracy was never perfect but it is predated on the principle that the people will keep the politicians in check.

For a whole host of reasons, fewer people tend to vote and governments get bigger and assume more and more control. What politician can resist a "new and good piece of legislation" when they have nothing else to do?

The same is happening in democracies around the world. Those who are in touch with their political reality are fed up. The rest have given up. Brexit is an attempt to halt the march towards complete submission to the political elite by those who wish to voice an opinion and choose to mark an X on a ballot. The rest just complain that they do not see the need to vote because they really do not wish to be bothered and support the basic notion that government is inherently good, control over the population is what is needed and as long as the "free cheese" continues to be handed out, they are all for this type of "I don't have the time or inclination to care" governance - a literal field day for politicians who detest facing criticism and prefer to just get it done before anyone really understands what it is that they these political creatures are actually doing.

Nationalism and extreme right wing ideologies stem from political frustration and a sense of public helplessness. That's not to say these fascists intend to correct the problems, but they are all too eager to act like typical politicians and capitalize on the naivety of those desperate to halt the runaway train.

The take away lesson is this: If people see fascism as a problem, it is up to them to ensure that fascists don't get power. If the people see runaway government as a problem, it is up to them to remove the errant politicians at the first available opportunity and continue doing so until the wishes of the people are upheld.

If the voters are not prepared to do their part, then you get what we now see with the EU that is no longer recognizable as an economic union or in fact a union of any kind. The interests of government and the people are diverging at an ever increasing pace. The result, someone pulls the emergency break by way of offering extreme polar opposites in political leanings and the people, who still cannot grasp that they are a big part of the problem, latch on to what appears to be an easier solution offered by someone else rather than tossing the ba$tards out of office time and again until the system is corrected.

Voters need to fix the fact that governments no longer represent them, not latch on to smooth sales pitches from other politicians offering to to do what voters must do themselves. The cake in the windows always looks good. After a bite, if you don't like the taste, it's too late, you just bought the cake.

And one of the more upsetting parts of this rise in Populism and push back against current trends is the constant moral preening of those who appose it. The authoritarian Left and there media allies are not satisfied with just stating their case. No they have to remind everyone of their supposed moral high ground. They are your betters. You do not have a right mind so they will tell you how to think. And of course your reaction to the their failed policies will bring condemnation, not because of any inaccuracies in your belief, but simply because you are an uneducated, misinformed citizen who should not dare to question them. So if you see that unchecked immigration, for example, is causing obvious problems your criticism of it makes you a Nazi or a racist or xenophobe. There is to them, your moral overlords, no other possible explanation. Their belief is a self reinforcing polemic that is used like a mantra. Say it enough and it has to be true. Get the progressive media to repeat it and that is even better.

This is something our betters, those who claim moral superiority fail to understand over and over. They create the problems and then are aghast when people react to it. And most of the problems they create do not effect them personally. Their positions, wealth and elite status insulate them from the very problems they make for the less 'enlightened' masses. It is a recipe for disaster and chaos. It won't end well.

I think there is a misunderstanding in my intention here.
More than 100 years ago, it was exactly these developments as well as practices in nationalism and right-wing populism that had led to both world wars.
The analogy as well as causality is undeniable - it has always started ... and ended badly.

Also, I am neither elitist nor morally superior, I refer only to the history and the present developments in the Western Hemisphere.

One more note:
Russia is massively supporting the nationalists and right-wing populists in Europe with billions of euros.
The influence on the election of Trump by the Russians should now be considered proven.

I believe you have a very valid point. The quote, "those who forget history are doomed to repeat it" seems rather appropriate.

With respect to the ongoing situation within the EU, the financial bailouts, brexit, immigration and the seeming unchecked expansion in the scope of control exercised by Brussels coupled with the amount of influence being exercised by Germany, I would hope "the world" would be smart enough to stand back and let any internal strife play itself out.

Two NATO countries lobbing smoke at each other should not automatically invoke Article 5. The subsequent involvement of a non-NATO country attempting to take strategic advantage of a situation might however, complicate matters.

Nonetheless, I perceive Germany to be the biggest part of this problem currently. There is no doubt that country has an inordinate amount of sway and in large part is contributing to the discontent throughout the EU while at the same time propping it up with money and political influence.

It might be time, if the EU wishes to pursue a different path, perhaps a less rapid movement towards totalitarianism, to ask Germany to take a 5 year time out. Thank them for their contributions, keep them feeling welcome within the union, but significantly curtail their day to day influence and control over the remaining countries and the the internal political processes.

People much smarter than me have rightly concluded that a standing EU army is a nonstarter. It seems that what Germany wants to do, is what the EU does these days. Perhaps relating to France as well but to a lesser degree.

So yes, I have no difficulty envisioning conflict between member nations if the present trends and course is not altered. I would hope the world could stay out of any such unfortunate turn of events, but you know people - especially people with perceived power and visions of grandeur dancing between their ears...

Over time I think we will see more countries decide to pack it in and extricate themselves from under the thumb of the EU and that may just act as a pressure relief valve preventing the alternative. I don't wish to see the union dissolve but I also cannot see a path to its long term salvation under the present leadership and direction.

The people need to take back control from their politicians and not just vote in the same sort of authoritarian personalities from the opposite end of the political spectrum. The use of humanitarian immigration on a scale unseen before, for the purposes of moral suasion, is going to have consequences for civil societies in every country in the EU for a long time to come. People have become complacent in doing what government tell them to do. Government has long since learned that the hearts and minds of the people follow the carrots and free cheese offered to placate large segments of populations. The politicians know what they are doing and believe the end justifies the means. It is the governed people who have become confused and impotent; No longer able to separate themselves from those who always seem take advantage of a population for their own agenda and aggrandizement.

An interesting time indeed to be in reinforced bunker sales these days...

So in another way

The way people have been voting the last 40-50 years
and
The way our elected politicians have acted the last 40-50 years

May lead to what some of you have mentioned in this thread.
