Some Nazis hunt random foreigners in Chemnitz, Germany

Well, I told you 3 years ago already that this would happen eventually ... but Merkel thought otherwise.

I understand there may arguments against the open borders policy or at least the way it's being conducted, but "it may make our own fascists angry" is a deplorable one.

You're fundamentally misunderstanding Tender's use of the dog whistle here, he has no problem with 800 natives committing crimes, the real issue is the 1 migrant and how the people from his background should be punished collectively.

Surprised to not see more R-xx avatars like DC Al Fine that usually pounce upon the first muslim that commits a crime to say that the streets are not safe. Here you have literally a pack of thugs hunting down innocent people...oh wait here he is encouraging it :

An incredibly sad story. I have to say that I was skeptical at first, but now it has been revealed that the mayor of The Hague, Pauline Krikke, knew about Dille's story, as did the police. Dille's video with subtitles can be viewed here. If this really happened, this country is sick.

Honestly I'm surprised similar scandals (eg Rotherham) haven't caused mass riots. The police not doing their jobs because they're worried that arresting rapists might create anti-immigrant sentiment is a big effort into deal. It's outrageous.

Look dude, if you don't want to understand what I wrote that's not my problem. There's a difference between being surprised there aren't riots and wanting them to happen.

But remember Le Pen lost by a 2:1 margin in the run off. Even in Switzerland the UDC are only the 4th largest party in the conseil des états, where you need to run off votes; and while Hofer almost pulled off the run off in 2016, the Austrian presidency is a largely ceremonial role which would lend itself to protest voting.

given that those are pretty much the three West European countries with the strongest RWPP traditions - I think we can say there aren't many places where a Trump style populist would win in a two party run off (and bear in mind that most right wing voters in Europe would have chosen Clinton over Trump - and not for her economic positions).

Winning the nomination and eventually the general election in a two party system vs winning a run off in a multi party system is an apples to oranges comparison IMO. Party loyalties and the thought process going into one's vote are a tad different. It seems much easier for a lifelong GOP voter to rationalize voting for a GOP ticket with Trump on it than a lifelong UMP/LR voter to rationalize voting for a LePen Front National ticket.

In the same vein, a Corbyn win would not indicate to me that the UK is especially anti-semitic and I would be skeptical he'd do as well as he currently is in a French style multiple party system.
