All different, unequal

It's funny to see the results of the European Elections. A lot of far right parties in Europe gained votes. Too many votes. Many say that there is a phantom traveling through Europe, the phantom of the right, the phantom of xenophobia. Even worse, I see there is a phantom of disinterest, of egoism. Many people and many cultures lost their memory of the past.

I see formers socialist countries happy about being in the EU, about being in a democratic and capitalistic system, but the voting turnouts are ridiculously low. I see western and eastern countries that vote parties that speak like people from the Ku Klux Klan. I see important leaders declaring that their country doesn't want to be multicultural, but 10% of their gdp is produced by immigrants, i see populations that a few years ago were asking for democracy being indifferent to the basic democratic tools.

Are they all to be blamed? Maybe

On the other hand I see socialist parties supporting anti-immigrant laws, endorsing the repression of civil rights for whatever reason, supporting wars, denying fundamental rights like marriage between homosexuals. They are no alternative to the right.

There is a barbaric culture that is coming forward, made of egoism, profit and indifference. There are too many parties and too many politicians that have positions that are just silly. I know things will change, eventually. I hope we don't get to a situation like this, where we have the silly party, the slightly silly (socialists?) and the very silly party. At least these lads are funny.
