Why doesn’t he go to Africa to find out WHY people are leaving.

Perhaps they can make their own countries better?

No,no,no,no,no, they MUST MIGRATE, because there are no honest leaders in their hometowns.

The left controls the media, the education establishment uses mass migration as a weapon and also uses voter fraud and corrupt courts to force its way on society.

So I’m not sure that people being stupid is accurate.

Most people are lazy and don’t start fighting back until things affect them personally.

I think that is a better explanation.

The problems the left has created have become so big in many countries that the populace can’t ignore them any longer.

You don't think it was stupid to let the left control the media, the education establishment, etc.? You think that was smart.



By the way, a lot of people here are uneducated. Just because something is called, "far right," in Europe, doesn't mean it's anything like what conservatives here.

Why did YOU let it happen?

Did you have the power to stop it? I didn’t and I don’t think you or millions of other people did either.

We fight back through the ballot box, by educating people within our sphere of influence and by our purchase decisions.

Do you have any powers beyond that?

Italians want their country back. Who can blame them?

Maybe Italy needs another Benito Mussolini. When he was in power even the Mafia minded its Ps and Qs. Outside of his the African adventure and his Alliance with Adolph. He did do some good things in Italy like restoring monuments, draining the marshes, and making the trains run on time.

My handy-dandy Newspeak media translation guide for political ideology labels:

Media labels vs. Reality:
Blue = Red
Socialist/Left-wing = Stalinist
Liberal = Marxist
Moderate/(Centrist) = Socialist
Conservative = Liberal
Far-Right = Moderate
Ultraright/Racist/Bigot = Conservative Mainstream


“Far-right” Salvini = Moderate.

I’m hoping that if Matteo Salvini and his party win then Italy soon will be the second E.U. nation to leave the E.U.

A lot of sophistication and talent went into that video, but not enough to hide the truth.

Matteo is the perfect candidate. As he said, he is the least racist person you can find. It’s true. It’s sad that he has to continually claim his virtue against the old leftists who think the world is still the communists versus the fascists, like it was in World War II.

Shame on the BBC for trying to use Emilia Romagna pride to make their point.

I think this is a reaction to the out-of-control ramblings of this Pope as well.
