LGBTQ+

In the Netherlands, some in the far right actually are saying that foreigners (especially muslims) are anti-gay and therefore should not be a part of Dutch society or be deported.

Edit: I do have to say that they also say that women are suppressed by foreigners. And that at the same time, they do nothing to protect the rights of women and LGBTIQ+ people. Apparently, they are only concerned with that when they can use it against foreigners.

That's the thing: Prejudice is always bad, be it directly (presuming people are somehow worse or lesser than others based on some characteristics they were born with) or indirectly (presuming people are somehow better than others based on some characteristic they were born with, which means the evil types which are found amongst those people just as much as amongst the rest, get away with far more evildoing than otherwise: a great example of this being how Zionists have taken things to the point of committing Genocide because for decades they were leveraging "positive" prejudices about people who are Jewish to get away with doing seriously evil shit).

That's why I really like the Dutch take of "those things are irrelevant for judging the character of a person" when it comes to sexual orientation - it totally avoids prejudice in any form, both the obviously bad prejudices AND the supposedly positive but in practice also negative, just indirectly.

People are people are people - best not presume things about them based on traits that have nothing to do with how good or bad they act, even "nice" presumptions.

In terms of people's own ideology, that's everywhere, really.

The upside of seeing sexual orientation as irrelevant outside sex and romance is that one has no tendency to assume that just because somebody has a specific sexual orientation, that means they think in a specific way (which is just a variant of "they're all the same"), most notably in terms of Politics. This stands in contrast with what you see mainly in Anglo-Saxon nations.

So once one looks at the world like that it's obvious that people whose sexual orientation is one of the less common ones are just as likely to be Nazis as the rest.

The difference in The Netherlands versus other countries is on how free people feel to let society know what their sexual orientation is, rather than the proportion of those who are gay and have Nazi beliefs being higher in The Netherlands than elsewhere - in other words people who have Nazi beliefs there and who happen to be gay are more likely to let others know that they're gay than elsewhere.

Brave to assume that will change anything. I am pretty sure that if he dropped dead today, he'd be turned into a marionette for the moneyed interests propping up the MAGA/Nazi movement to control by tomorrow morning.

They don't need him for his political acumen, they need him as their mouthpiece. And with the direction genAI is going, I'd start to worry if I were Trump...

He's even calling bullshit of The election results

Isn’t Australia’s rightmost parties neoliberal? That’s no less dangerous than out of the closet nazis, they are just better at hiding their dismantling of basic individual rights and services in pursuit if profit.

Excuse my ignorance of the nuances of the political situation in the Netherlands, but I was under the impression that D66 are center-left liberals with some right of center economic policies. I didn't know they had similar stances on migration and foreigners as the PVV do.

While I understand the concern about these parties polling well, the old adage that "the only poll that counts are the elections" still applies. I am at least still cautiously hopeful that the Trump effect will continue to pay dividends across the rest of the world by making the majority of the electorate reconsider supporting parties styled after the MAGA movement.

I get what you're implying, but no it's not a big deal here in Canada either. I was just optimistic to see a stalwart alt-right staple party like Wilders' PVV suffer a quite significant election defeat.

I was referring to UKIP and Le Pen losing the elections, but perhaps my optimism was misplaced reading the rest of the replies.
