Before any measures, all Europe must combat far-right at the source by removing algorithms that promote hateful views. She must educate her citizens about recognising desinformation, and suggest local European alternatives (especially to top-buyers, like CEOs, municipalities, regional aldermen etc.) for anything that may be American, Russian, or Chinese. And if that does not exist, to then employ alternatives from countries that do not hold friendly ties to any of these.

We, as Europe, must limit non-skilled migration of all who are not repressed in their own countries, and must protect the wellbeing of all her inhabitants. We must aid farmers in their greenifying, build more solar, wind, and nuclear, so that energy bills will go down. That we build more houses, while we limit rent increases and encourage selling homes to other inhabitants of Europe. We must finance this by eliminating tax loopholes and raising tax on dividend, while lowering tax for the middle class citizens.

We must hold ourselves friendlier to the rest of the world for trade, China temporarily included to a small extent. Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa (sans Uganda) are good options for this. We must establish European bases and remove American bases. We must liberate Hungary, by seizing all media assets in the hands of Orban, and bolstering criticism of Orban, preventing Orban from fleeing, before trialing him.

If any European country wishes to preserve its identity - to preserve Europe - and to defend her - then we must become independent from American and Russian interests.

"Europe must combat far-right at the source" ... "We, as Europe, must limit non-skilled migration of all"

Do you listen to yourself? If yes, tell me a time and place and I can show you what your first statement means in relation to your second statement 🙃

Oh, I agree, but I think one can regulate it without being inhumane. The point is that those people turn far-right because they're needlessly panicking about people coming in. That and algorithms.

And personally, I find it stupid too, but so I would temporarily do this until they find out the effects of aging. They chose for this.

If you've an alternative I'm of course open to that too.

Wait, let's take a step back. There is no need to regulate immigration. If anything, I think immigration should be made a non-issue, and citizenship extended to anyone who's within a country for more than a few months, refugees (economic, political, humanitarian) should receive special protective status, fortress Europa should be disbanded, and diplomatic ties to turkey should be rescinded (as it commits crimes against humanity to oppress and categorically suppress migration).

So, yeah, the alternative is pretty easy to do, it just means the EU has to actually rescind its fascist history, instead of doing a liberal half-assed move that just makes it easy for fascists to resurge again.

I disagrew with disbanding fortress Europe. From a humanitarian viewpoint I agree; but from a political viewpoint, this is essentially perfect propaganda for the far right and that's political suicide. Just think of 2015 and the Syrian civil war refugees and the vitriol that came from it. And the last I want is that the far right seizes Europe!

If you want to make immigration a non-issue, then procedures should not take months and years, but be easy and straightforward; acceptation, rejection, and so on. Provide excellent resources for learning the language and culture of the country. Bar those that are fascist from coming in. Welcome non-fascist, non-conservative, LGBTQ+ refugees, and the like. Describe them as "returning Europeans" rather than refugees, immigrants, or whatever. I know it's dumb, you know it's dumb, but it will get at least some of those "anti-immigrationists" on board.

Give incentives for larger families (2-4 kids). Support daycares. Young people tend to be on the progressive and left end - so that will help the left.

Support excellent education, more exchange programs. That also will reduce hatred of strangers.

I want also to make the housing and cost of living crisis disappear. And to have that change appear in the algorithms, which often instead seek to perpetuate falsehoods of it worsening.

EU Made Simple (the creator of the video above) made a video about Immigration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2b5z1FJTs8

I mostly agree with it, if we follow this model it will stop a lot of people moving far-right
