The difference in results between Scandinavia and the rest of the EU is very interesting. A well-working educational system is clearly the best weapon against fascism.

Also, a well working social system with low corruption. But it's a bit chicken and the egg sort of situation.

It's really not that simple. Look at Austria, for example. It's also a lot about culture and society itself and how it developed. We are exporting nazis ffs. Shit that gets people thrown out of parties in Germany (like Krah) is just another Tuesday in Austria. And we have a great educational system. Of course with ways to improve.

Austrian Nazis? now I've heard everything!

[-] Zabjam@lemm.ee 22 points 6 months ago

Krah wasn't kicked out, they just didn't want him to show up to events because of looks. Now that the election is over watch them fully embrace that treasonous, SS glorifying nazi back as their top candidate. Also I bet it will not take longer than two weeks until LePenne forgets that the AfD is more and more admiting to be fascist and welcomes them back to ID

You're not up to date I guess. He will not be part of the Delegation. But he's still a member of the AfD. (https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/krah-afd-europaparlament-fraktion-100.html)

You are right, I posted this before it hit the news that he was kicked out of the delegation. However, it wouldn't surprise me if that changes again after the dust settles. He is still a party member, as you said.

[-] Takios@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 6 months ago

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Krah just forbidden by his party to go campaigning (and he did campaign anyway)? As far as I know he's still part of the AfD.

It really depends, there's plenty of ways to politicize an educational system and call it well-working. I think a more crucial distinction would be to teach people to be able to discern good sources from shit sources and how they can be manipulated without realizing it, and having taught across several semesters, if a good education system is simply not viable (i.e. poorer EU countries).

That's why the right hate universities. Well, that and the fact they unis will call out their BS.

[-] wieson@feddit.de 4 points 6 months ago

EU élections are often used to show your frustrations with the current government. In Sweden and Finland the current government is right wing.

[-] Lorindol@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 months ago

Indeed it is. And still our right wing populists are constantly screeching how the "general media is clearly and unfairly left-biased," and "how the other side of the story remains untold".

No shit, Sherlock. Nearly all journalists have college or university degrees, that's what happens when you open your mind to the larger world.

Participation in the EU election in Sweden was at a record low - just above 50%, which is amongst the worst in Europe. IMO that's a serious warning flag.
