I don’t think you’re far right. Edited by DanH (14 Dec 2018 1.28am) You want me to answer seriously? Ok, well....it's certainly true that judging people today by past historical perspectives (based on their race) and believing in de facto 'white privilege' and that 'white superiority' is a common problem....those ideas are straight out of the modern day far left ideological mindset....there are half true elements to the first two but the superiority thing....That's Hitler stuff and that's right on the very edge of even most far right beliefs.....Those who aren't trolling anyway. Can I call you far left and know it....Nope.....I suspect that like me you believe in some of this and a little of that.....only you truly know. You're probably a form of neo liberal progressive.....maybe you haven't finished formulating what you really believe in yet.....only you truly know. But I did ask you what you didn't agree with from the far left and you didn't answer.

Meanwhile in Hungary the Government passed a law allowing employers to ask employees to work 400 hours of overtime per annum. The equivalent of an extra day / week. But it gets better. The revised labour law requires employees to pay their employees overtime only after 3 years. The median ave salary is about £650 / month gross, £325 take home. But not many moslems, which I'm sure gives the ordinary working people some comfort. That post without the muslim bit is what worries me about brexit and one reason i voted remain.

so in essence no one is worried about the radical alt right? I’m more concerned about the number of people expressing perfectly reasonably opinions that are being labelled as this so they can be ignored.

I did wonder whose cage that would rattle... Didn't realise I had to provide names. I was actually trying to make an even handed comment that I think we are seeing now, much as we did in the 70's a rise in casual racism across the board. Where people from all sides are quicker to make assumptions about others based on the colour of their skin or how they dress. You have pointed out many examples of this yourself in your posts. Posts that quote the way incidents are reported. I think the alt right and the far left are both guilty of feeding on this casual racism to their own ends. But hey if the cap fits...

No.... people are drawing "assumptions" from these figures, not casual racism. Then when people raise concerns the left call them far right which people are not, they are just regular people reading the news , seeing the figures drawing conclusions. Facts are facts, we have a huge problem from a minority. Attachment: Screenshot_20181213-172619_Word.jpg (360.67Kb)

You write in absolutes about how people believe 'all Muslims' this or 'all black people' that and so then you comment that 'people from all sides are quicker to make assumptions about others'. Shouldn't you be including yourself in that? It doesn't matter what someone thinks. What matters is how close to the truth what they think is. A Jew living in Berlin in the thirties wouldn't' be right to think that all Germans hated him or her, but they would certainly be correct to believe that living around Germans wasn't good for them because a large enough section of them did......Still....lets criticise the 'casual racism'.

Sigh. So what would you like Hungary to do on immigration Stevie boy? Presumably you mean what would I like the Hungarian Government to do on immigration? I would like the Hungarian government to stop stealing billions of EU money whilst simultaneously corralling public opinion against the hand that feeds Orban's swiss bank account. If the money was actually spent on what was intended, then the Hungarian economy might be stronger and the country might become a genuinely attractive destination for immigrants. Needless to say I would also like it if the EU developed a spine and dealt with the corruption. If or when Hungary has a problem with immigration in the way that Germany and the UK does then naturally it should decide what to do about it. But Hungary's immigration problem is an entirely existential threat that has been deliberately created by a corrupt Government. Ironically enough, the millions of Euros spent by the Government on anti-immigration, anti-EU, anti Soros propaganda has gone straight into the pockets of the media companies owned by Orban's oligarchs. From whence it flows inexorably in the direction of Zurich.

The reality in Hungary is that they have a really bad labour shortage not a problem with immigrants. Rumour has it that the reason for introducing a new law to increase the overtime to 400 hours pa was to secure investment from BMW for a new factory.

But seeing how you're a fan of mono-culturalism or at least you'd prefer to live amongst your "own kind" you might find a trip to Hungary to be quite interesting. Certainly a lot easier than going all the way to Japan. Theirs is an almost entirely mono-cultural society. I think about 98% of the population consider themselves to be ethically Hungarian. 100 years ago the situation was very different. Before the Treaty of Trianon in 1920 the Kingdom of Hungary (a state that was an equal partner with Austria in the Austro-Hungarian Empire) was 3 times larger in terms of territory. But Hungarians were an ethnic minority in their own country. Again somewhat ironically the issue which has united right wing nationalists since 1989 is this territorial loss which also resulted in the loss of about 3 million ethnic Hungarians whose ancestors still live in all the neighbouring countries. The desire to see the former territory returned to what they see as its rightful sovereignty would result in millions of unwilling immigrants becoming de-facto Hungarian citizens. And yet that is a problem that many nationalists say they would be willing to put up with in the name of "national justice". Probably the experience of living in a country like this has a lot do with my entirely negative opinions about nationalism. If you do decide to make a trip (which I can highly recommend) then look out for this ubiquitous equivalent to a GB plate. It's a map of pre-Trianon Hungary. Try driving through Croatia with one of those on your car. Edited by steve1984 (14 Dec 2018 1.23pm) Attachment: 570127.jpg (42.48Kb)

FYI Orban's Government granted these external Hungarians with the right to vote in Hungarian elections despite the fact that they aren't Hungarian citizens, don't live in Hungary and certainly don't pay Hungarian taxes. They only need to prove their ethnicity. Perhaps understandably they have a proclivity towards voting for Orban's Fidesz. Which helps to explain how he's able to win 66% of the seats in Parliament (on only 50% of the vote I should add). What's your opinion on this? Would you be happy for ethnic Brits from South Africa, Australia or Canada to vote in a General election? Edited by steve1984 (14 Dec 2018 1.46pm)

Edited by steve1984 (14 Dec 2018 1.46pm) Yours post on this have been genuinely interesting.....cheers. We don't necessarily have to agree for me to appreciate and somewhat understand your perspective. No is your answer....Based on what you said my view would be that once you no longer pay into the tax system for a country you don't get the right to a say on its policies.....Mind you I'd always keep the number of foreigners allowed in a country below a set percentage using workarounds....As in Japan. While I definitely share the idea that countries should be protecting and advantaging their national identities and cultures above foreign ones....it doesn't extend to that. I'm most strongly of the view that these eastern European are right not to allow significant non European immigration into their countries....it's the main reason they have been free of terrorist attacks. I don't think it's sensible to 'wait and see' if a problem occurs.....of course it will....it will occur and expand due to birth demographics. However, that's a separate question from how corrupt or not a government is or the systems beneath it all. I have the suspicion that all the former Soviet union states are like this and that it's a hangover from how those states were ran. I know a former Romanian who is a doctor there and a Youtuber who holds this view.....He doesn't think it's changing anytime soon.
