2024 we will have fascism, i predict it and you will all care because my country is the best on earth
I think that Flanders is specifically different from its neighbours in term of political extremism. We see far right populists in France and The Netherlands, but they are targeted by the media and get exposed via public opinion. In Flanders racism and nationalism is very normalised and it even took me a while to stand back and think "wait a minute this is kinda fucked up" when a nearby student club was bantering about Adolf Hitler being the last foreign to care for Flemish identity.
People here joke about the Kongo but it's quite surreal, I only just realised this.
I think that there is a very real chance that my tiny region will elect Fascists. Contrary to popular belief, they will not govern for 4 years and leave. Flemish nationalists have a strong base and are on their way of gaining an absolute majority here. Belgium will split after 2024. It might become the epicentre and a key player in European resurgence of fascism.
Even the New York Times did a piece on Belgium being racist
There is a very strong resurgence of nationalism here and it will lead to Fascism

Are you going to stay in the middle of it, or migrate somewhere else?

Specifically racial vs blacks, I guess that's how it can be construed as relevant these days.
Do you figure they are "more racist" from actually having multiple races present in their society? I've definitely seen nations that insist they quote unquote 'aren't racist' from having only one race in their society, to the point of figuring that never talking about it = not being it.

He'll have to leave Europe and we'll have to leave the U.S. to avoid what's to come.
