32. Classic facism of the European kind is on the rise.

The National Front has won several elections in France over the years and they've taken over whole towns. The conservatives in France turn a blind eye to it as it gives them allies in their anti-muslim rants. I've also seen them gaining more noise and tolerance in the UK and Italy also. Only Germany seems to smack that stuff down hard, but then they are constitutionally bound to do so. That is until someone comes along and changes the German constitution.

It is true that muslim extremists are on the rise in Europe adding friction to this building fire. I don't call them fascists because their brand of bigotry and exclusivism doesn't quite fit the fascist mold, so I think they are something else, something I don't have a word for. I've always found it darkly amusing that the global conflict burning right now is largely a Western conservative vs Muslim conservative thing.
