Maybe they can start by deporting Wilders. Might be hard to find a country willing to take him though.

Rules
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

MODERATORS
In fact, Wilders' own election manifesto calls for his deportation: it urges the ethnic cleansing of those with a non-western migration background. This includes Wilders, whose mother was from Indonesia.
It's weird how common this is. Like in the US the biggest boosters of ICE aren't like sons of the American Revolution. It's people whose position in society is more tenuous. Maybe children of immigrants, people who aren't viewed as fully American. I feel like a psychologist might be able to explain this but it makes no sense to me.
The leader of the German far right is a lesbian whose wife is from Pakistan
She's from Sri Lanka. So the (co-)leader of the German far right is an open lesbian, married to a foreigner, they live in a foreign country (Switzerland) and have two kids. Before her career with the Nazi party she was active in her local lgbtq community.
And this person is anti-immigration, german-only, and advocating traditional families and values.
She's a useful idiot.
Itβs people whose position in society is more tenuous.
You already explained it yourself. It's about perceived competition.
Seeking validation by throwing people similar to yourself under the bus
Can't have a good life if everyone else is coming to get what you earned through hard work and consider rightfully yours.
Russia would take him, he's been onnthr payroll there for years
A dutch exit of the EU would kill their country more than brexit did to britain
Russia is escalating its hybrid attacks on NATO.
Targeting a country whose military is so deeply integrated with its neighbour's is still ambitious.
The only people dumber than him are the ones voting for him (and FvD)
Wilder's is another Putin paid trump wannabe, was one before trump was a thing, still is.
Not talking at your OP, but stop platforming this has-been fuck.
No need to put this guy in the spotlight: a populist who has been at it for over 20 years and doesn't have the skills to put his words into action.
I think you guys had that already, it wasnβt popular.
Ok Kaasar Flickerman
Man, what happened? Europe used to be the leaders in right-wing lunacy. What's with Temu Trump?
