Fellow lefties

fellow lefties,
how's racism, xenophobia, stupidity and rightwing in general doing in your country ?
its hard to get an objective view on things when your only source is internet.

Alive and well here in Arizona, USA. Frequently see abortion protesters outside in 100+ degree weather. Most of them are fat women. I don't think it gets much dumber than that.

It's doing pretty well here in good ol' New York, at least in the more rural areas where I am. Frequently see anti-abortion and religious nuts protesting the further you get into downtown, and there's a dude that proudly flies a Confederate flag in my neighborhood.

Well leftist idpol is kind of at a fever pitch with Trudeaumania 2.0 (the sequel is always worse), at least here in the East where people actually voted for him. In the West they are trying to harness the power of Harperfag tears to put out the Fort Mac fires.

Of course Trudeau is still a fucking porky, but at least he's not a racist porky.

they could get violent and verbally or physically attack a minority

i don't consider jesus freakes as rightwingers, they're silly, but i don't remember a case when one attacked a woman for having an abortion

Reporting in from Wyoming. Here it is primarily libertarian, except for a few neocon policies like banning the weed. Otherwise I can buy fireworks n guns. But racism is very low here, and homophobia is dropping.

fair point, i take it back

Save me Comerades, wherever the fuck I turn there is a reactionary!

Where do you stand on Sahra Wagenknecht, Genosse?

Constantly winning every battle they fight here in Brazil since the 2014 elections. The only left-of-center point we scored was Dilma's re-election, and they manage to impeach her.

Other than winning mainstream politics, the alt-right is growing as well. I think the libertarian pseudo-academia (Mises Institute, Cato Institute, etc) are more popular here than in any other country except maybe the US. Fascists are also growing and they have a candidate that is the elite's favorite and has an online grassroots campaign that would make S█████ jealous.

Xenophobia, which was virtually inexisting before recently (other than interstate prejudice) is appearing because the media realised that fear of immigration moves people to the Right, so they've been making a fuzz about Haitians. Racism and Sexism seem to be getting better, and are the only things the Left still concerns itself with.

Also our pentecostal churches have huge political influence and literal paramilitary forces, pic related.

shes one of the reactionaries…
she tries to capitalise on the political climate tilting too the right by tilting with it. She is even higly disputed within the Party…
Instead of providing an actual ledt wing alternative to the situation she just does what, from the FDP too the CDU and AfD litterally every party in the country is doing right now…
shift to right wing rethoric…

Fuck this country, tbh. Wish Vargas and Dutra were here just to annihilate them like '38

Netherlands here


General anti-muslim hate from the hordes of geert wilders (not that many, mostly edgelords, people dislike the troublemakers for being troublemakers, not their religion or ethnicity).

Apart from that, a teeny tiny subset of black people are upset about our tradition of black pete (who is a chimney sweeper) and are basically proffesional victims. They wanted to paint over a historic painting on the royal carriage because it depicted slavery. The Royals response was that we won't gloss over our history, literally or figuratively.

not a big priority, other than that people are uncomfortable with burqas.


Plenty, but not too bad i guess

Surprisingly not too bad, although there has been a rise in right wing groups for obvious reasons. The upside is that due to our governmental structure, no matter who gets in parliament, 98% of the policy is made by the ministries who very boringly continue executing and writing a moderate policy. The politics here is very much based on middle ground and any form of extremism, left or right, is hammered down as soon as it arises.

Does the Left traditionally fight outside this apparatus? Through unions, labour activity, and so on?

yes

>Does the Left traditionally fight outside this apparatus?
No


>Does the Left traditionally fight outside this apparatus?
No

How do we deal with totalitarianism being on the rise?

Dust off your grandpas SS uniform, try not to get killed, flee to cuba or rojova (if it doesnt get BTP) asap.

Be more specific. "Totalitarianism" doesn't convey much

Here in Maryland.
Very alive.

Fucking Nazis.

I also live in Maryland, I haven't noticed. Where are you located?

that's what you get for abandoning portugal-san imperial identity for a new one based on industrial and modernity values.
I hope you cry thinking of how you could have had qt mustachio waifus

Calvert county, you?

Alive and well in Texas.

Holy shit you are retarded. Just because she calls out the mass migration for the bullshit it is (cheap labor slaves) doesn't make her a reactionary. She's as left as you can get in mainstream policies and advocated market socialism several times in recent interviews and btfo NATO imperialism whenever possible.

How the fuck can you call her an reactionary that wants to steer the party towards the "right" when the whole party is barely SocDem?

Probably Baltimore yeah?

Baltimore county.

I live in North Carolina.

Not high but growing.

Unions shrinking, too.

Australia here.

surprising, i was expecting Netherland to be full Holla Forumstard.
you gotta see how shit is going down in France, racist don't even try to be subtile anymore, and not just against people of arab origin, but everyone who's a shade darker than white gets shit.
the recent events made rzcits feel like they have some sort of legitimacy.
as if there was a conspiracy that involved every "colored" against whites.
somehow, being brown/black makes you guilty by association.

stupidity at its finest

tbh i'm already preparing to move to a nice very low populated island in the middle of nowhere.
it really feel like people are getting more and more stupid and violent everyday.
this will end bad imo and no one is safe

I completely disagree with you 2bh

The black pete debate makes me sick, every year from september to december the same shit again. More than a teeny tiny subset of black people are upset. Quite a lot people are upset. Which is understandable imo. As a reaction a lot of people have gotten more racist and >muh tradition. They boycott stores if there's no black guy on the candy etc. People want to change the figure to an actual chimney sweeper instead of a black caricature but NO IT'S TRADISHUN. People like Sylvana Simons are even worse.

Have you not seen how many anti-refugee/muslims demonstrations and groups came to the streets past year? Refugee shelters were being burned down and refugees were attacked by the concerned citizens.

Everywhere

The right wing party (VVD) always wins the elections. The far right party (PVV) would probably win the next election. The most popular news media are right wing (Telegraaf, TPO, GeenStijl). The Socialist Party have become social democrats and the labour party is the VVD's bitch. Education has become expensive and they're fucking up the healthcare as well.

why is leftypol so damn slow
