“It’s hard to admit this from a modern perspective, but historical fascism’s lust for violence didn’t make it repulsive but extremely attractive to a lot of German voters. And we are seeing similar things with the AfD today, where fantasies of violent retribution seem to be integral to campaign events on market squares…If the AfD is voted into power, one of the most highly advanced economies in the world could experience something similar to what happened in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

JFC this is some tremendous ahistorical bullshit. Another Atlantic piece blaming the "woke left" for the actions of the right. The argument hinges on a lie: that Heritage and the voucher movement simply recognized an opportunity in the 2020s "culture wars" to push for vouchers.

This is a dreadful argument from Burnham. Empirically false - almost 6m people were granted settled status; about 4m are currently resident. More importantly panders to racism/xenophobia, and directly contradicts argument made in his speech about migrant contributions.

This is a sobering read about the BBC and #savile - but those who've criticised the excellent current piece about lesbians pressured into sex on the grounds of "it never happens" or "it's only their testimony" should do some self-reflection.

We're repeatedly told that asylum seekers pose a threat to the good people of our country... Reading about the threatening and violent treatment of elderly and open minded locals in Crowborough I get the impression that the real threat comes from closer to home. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

On Facebook and other platforms, people
who are known to support the asylum
seekers have been threatened with acid
attacks, petrol bombs and rape. The dossier.
which has been seen by the Guardian, also
claims that several local businesses have
been threatened by far-right agitators, along
with a church where some asylum seekers
worship. One man was punched in the throat
after he held up a "Love Thy Neighbour"
sign, while an elderly couple were falsely
accused of supporting sex offenders. In yet
another case, a 92-year-old church volunteer
was reportedly woken at 3am for two nights
in a row by a man standing outside her
home, shining a torch through her window
and shouting abuse

As Naadir notes: this doesn’t mean that the far right has moderated. It means that the centrists have radicalised themselves and each other over years into the politics of the National Front circa 1974. Nice and gradual like, so they don’t feel too awkward about it. But that’s what’s happened here.

Why Europe's centre will hold
The 1930s are not a good guide to the politics of the 21st century

The Italian left points to Meloni's harsher policies on immigration and asylum as indications that she retains far-right instincts. But almost all European governments are now searching for ways to limit the flow of asylum seekers.
This is a response to growing voter unease - so arguably an expression of democracy rather than its negation.
Le Pen has been moderating her party's image for many years - shedding many of its more extreme policies and associations. In the process, she has broken with her own father, the founder of the party, and ditched plans to leave the European single currency.
