Europe of Sovereign Nations will now face a process that could see it stripped of its status as a European political party, losing funding in the process. Far-right MEPs from other groups opposed the decision. #EuropeNews
They are already in a bubble and it’s extremely hard to pull them out. Their influence is spreading, so clearly current efforts to deprogram them are less effective than their recruitment efforts. At that point containment is the best option we have, even if it’s not the one I’d like we had.
Yes, because current efforts seem to be focused in only trying to isolate the people we don’t like. During pre-internet time might have relatively worked, now it’s clear it doesn’t and saying “it’s the best option we have” is just false. It’s the easier option that people (but not sociologist or social psichologist) keep adopting because it’s very easy, fits with our desire to not have shitheads around us and because people assumed that’s how it worked so far.
Stop ignoring the reality and accept the fact that despite attempts to isolate them, the right is getting stronger everywhere. It’s time to change approach or to start to get used to the new reality. Don’t trust me, go beyond social media and go check what experts of hate and extremism say, not the politician we like this year.

This is already an improvement over the previous of shooting Nazis.
