why does everyone refer to lepen as being extreme right? sure shes an authoritarian nativist but at the end of the day shes fiscally socialist. calling her extreme left would be far more accurate

It'll be like the Trump win where none of the crazy/exciting stuff happens and you just get a boilerplate right-wing agenda. She won't be able to do the wacky ethnic nationalism and will cave to austerity economics almost immediately.

Racism is weird in that its ubiquitous but racists never seen to be able to get their policies implemented effectively. Then when they do in some limited measure it becomes an international disgrace. Like that child rape gulag Australia keeps migrants in, or Israel and... all the stuff they have going on.

I'm talking about contemporary politics for sure. Sorry if that wasn't clear.



Historically racism had a hell of a good run. And will probably be big in the Mad Max times to come.

Yup. Any everybody except WP people think its shameful trash.


This is my view of white supremacism in general. They get their small victories. They shut off some immigration to one place for a short time. The beat someone up, or the cheer when the state tortures or murders a few people here and there. But in the end they never get what they want, because what they want is incoherent bullshit.

A lot of people who are racist really like to think of themselves as not being racist so they're cool with crypto-racist stuff like voter ID laws in the U.S. because they can rationalize that it's solving a problem, even if that problem doesn't practically exist. As soon as it gets too out in the open though, there's an instinctive recoil among a certain subset of racists, not because they don't agree with the purpose of the law in theory, but because either they don't think of themselves as racist so cognitive dissonance hits them hard or because they don't want to be seen by the general public as racist because of the backlash or because if it's too blatant, courts will strike it down, so stuff ends up getting watered down and dog-whistled and so we have this never ending racist undercurrent that keeps popping up in so many ugly ways.
