You've been looking in the wrong direction, the dangers are coming from the right.

I think it is more likely that they are repulsed by such behaviour which is partly why they have sought a new life elsewhere.

We see people in western society, born and raised westerners, with similar mindsets, your premise is to suggest the wester society would have no such beliefs if it wasn't for immigrants bringing them in.

I understand completely that there are going to be some radicals who arrive, (or are open to being radicalised after they arrive) but the vast majority of people don't fall in to this category and I would rather not shut the door on all of them to prevent some arriving with unpleasant mindsets particularly when that mindset already exists in the country.

Anyone care to tell me in what way has Biden acted that can be deemed to be an embrace of the Woke Left and is an assault on culture and values?

This is the issue with the right in the US right now, this man was threatened by his own parties supporters and a mock gallows set up to try to force him in to dismissing the instruction laid out in the constitution with respect to appointing a new President and this is his focus. All while the man who instigated the insurrection and subsequent demonising of Pence was the Republican President.

Not to mention, that in the last year, Republicans have removed a womans right to decide what to do with her body in several states and are removing access to historically lauded novels in schools and libraries under the premise of protecting children when just yesterday, one of the Republican candidates in the upcoming elections in Arizona has quit when it emerged that he was arrested after getting caught masturbating outside a school. And on the same day it emerged that Texan schools are sending DNA kits to their students parents to help with identifying bodies in the case of the next mass shooting. And their media outlets are facilitating Kanye's flagrant attack on the Jewish community.

Biden's administration meanwhile has introduced bills to develop infrastructure, fund micro-chip manufacturing in the US, to prevent price gouging by oil companies, to reduce the cost of medicines, to forgive some student loan debt and to support Ukraine fighting to save their very lives and country from invasion.

There is zero doubt but the Republican mindset of today would have sided with Hitler in the 30's and counter to the supposed 'Christian' beliefs that the party holds, they would have hated practically everything about their saviour Jesus Christ and him everything about them.

Today's news from the UK is just another example of how all the 'project fear' articles around Brexit were in fact entirely accurate and how the continued subservience to those who ruined the country continues to be allowed to run wild. PM for 45 days and removed caps on bankers pay and bonuses while crashing the pound and putting in action a chain of events which will see people paying tens of thousands of pounds more over the duration of their mortgage. Shocking behaviour.

Be interesting to see who Murdoch and the rest want as a PM now. Saw a news article yesterday with an audio clip of a 94 year old man who had fallen and was waiting for an ambulance for over 5 hours. He later died in hospital. This is a direct consequence of the policies the right wing have enacted for several years and the NHS might never come back from it.

Well done, you hit the nonsense hat trick. Not understanding what has been written in the thread, trying to both sides the argument, and trying to deflect from the point being made without challenging it.

I've frequently, on this thread, referred to issues at play in the UK, in Europe, in Ireland and of course the US. I live in the US and that aside, it is an influencer world wide in terms of context on societal, economic, political issues, etc, etc. We have several threads on here frequently related to topics US and many of them in this forum. We had a thread specifically set up to speak negatively about issues around immigration in Sweden and there were no calls from those asking me to only talk about Ireland here saying similar on that one.

And talking about the worst examples of far right actions in recent history is ignoring the fact that most people are still suffering from much less draconian actions that anything like that. The UK economy and society has been decimated because of the right wing ideals of several influential forces over an extended period. Reduction in investment in policing and healthcare coupled with an increase in scaremongering and false promises led that country to Brexit and no one can pretend that what has happened since is a good thing.

In Ireland, we continue to see massive housing concerns for people in a large part because of the actions of successive governments with with respect to the housing market and regulations and so on.

The issues in the US are widely known with access to healthcare, cost of education, systemic racism and rampant capitalism meaning that people are financially worse off now then they have been for generations, despite earning higher money than those before them. And the US is dangerously close to flat out fascism taking control in several states if not nationally again in the current environment that has seen rights stripped from women and heads starting to turn towards those in same sex marriages and interracial marriages.

And the entire planet is literally going full steam ahead towards a climate disaster that is going to lead to suffering for literally billions of people due to the refusal to enact meaningful climate protection controls.

All of these scenarios are the outcome of, or are being made worse by, right wing ideologies. No one has suggested otherwise in the thread so far, please feel free to do so and to explain how rather than just wishing I stopped highlighting it.
