    Probably more likely to be a plot by far-right fascists to increase their own voter base!

    Remember: they want you to live in fear.

      De Wever is far-right himself. He played the long con into getting elected as mayor of Antwerp to pave his way into becoming prime minister. Before he was elected he used indirect racism - the kind where you say you respect them but you want to be respected back by disallowing hajibs kind of bullshit - to get elected as mayor. As soon as he was mayor he started “helping out” the minorities. And he actually was successful. He dropped a lot of his prejudice and seemingly racist standpoints. Many people respected him for this. Right up until he became prime minister and started fucking over the people like it was his goal all along. Anti immigration and anti low-class now look like his main goal again.

      So no, he has far more enemies within the religious context as well as the anti fascist context than with other right wing grifters.

        Yep, and the same agenda is being attempted in the Netherlands right now. Those fascists are playing “nice” so they can get more votes and then seize an anti-people’s dictatorship.

        That’s the same thing to me. Fascism is a religion, a cult; it is the perversion of society into robbing people of their independence.
