Ask yourself why so many French are moving to the right?

Oh it's easy. French are always revolting.
Anyway moving on, it seems that many of the signatories are retired and have kept their rank as reservists. And in common those who currently servr, they're not allowed to speak publicly on political (or religious) matters.

The far right are a danger that needs to be contained. Calling them far right doesn't trivialised the danger - it announces it. This is not just a handful of far right nutters - it's a large bunch of far right French people. Pen is polling 26% at the moment - that's not good.

Ask yourself why so many French are moving to the right? This is the country that lurched to the left about 100 years ago.

Most people change their outlook based on their situation.

This isn't a problem that can be resolved by just calling people far right and carrying on unchecked.

Which would explain why crossing the Channel in a small inflatable seems like quite a good idea...

Indeed but it's only going to happen more and more. They might be far right and no sane person generally wants to go near them but the far right and nationalist parties have been gaining ground for quite a few years. Ok their approach in this one is still too far off an sane persons radar to back it but the discontent is grown and with absolutely nothing being done in any of the countries affected it's only going to grow.

Bunch of far-right generals, supporting a far right politician reported in a far right newspaper.

If you consider Islam a timeless religion with its literal viewpoints then the people who had to 'deal' with a large Islamist population in the 50s and 60s will have a far greater insight into what the future holds.

Well I did wonder exactly how many of those Generals retired in, oh, June 1944...

maybe the paper could be Der Angriff?

Parts of Europe are going to end up like Bosnia.

With NI they themselves set the pace of the hostilities from within, it wasn't like someone said something in Denmark and tulip kicked off. Now all it will take is a few cartoons and there will be riots in dozens of cities, which of course can be manipulated by foreign powers. Groups will get segregated eventually.

The yellow vest riots have been running since 2018? Its not been that long in Minneapolis!
