My general outlook on life in general is mostly positive, like I think people have the capability to improve our shared experience of the world and sort out their differences, the only thing I'm pessimistic about is my own life, and I have good reason to be pessimistic about that
Peep this, it's funny:

Originally posted by SurturSure, I agree: his acceptance of Islamic extremist groups is pathetic, and I really could never bring myself to vote for him (I hope, idk, we need the Tories out badly right now).
Perhaps it'd be best to say he's a little too comfy around anti-semites.Why do you think right wing populism seems to be gaining...popularity across Europe?
But Farage and Stephen Yaxley-Lennon are incredibly comfortable around racists, homophobes and general all-round bigots. Yet you seem to mostly be fine with them. What's the deal?
RE: The rise of right-wing populism, I have many opinions on that, but my main answer would be that modern society tends to veer between liberalism and authoritarianism at different stages, and right now, extremism is rife, on both sides. Socialism and pseudo-fascism are both getting quite popular, and it's just too strange and complex to fully disseminate for me without the need for several long-form conversations. It's fascinating, though.
