The success of fascism depends on who opens the door to it. Anyone who claims that the judge should have known better than to make a martyr of Dries Van Langenhove and indirectly enrich Vlaams Belang is taking a big risk.

I’d rephrase that first sentence already as: The succes of Fascism depends on how self-absorbed People are by their own set of morals as the One and Only good ones, and how (in)flexible they are in listening to those with differing opinions. The succes of the extreme right AND left has, in my humble opinion, to do with a complete Lack of effort from both sides to take the others’ concerns seriously for years on end now. DVL and his buddies were not the root cause, they were a symptom, and Anybody with a brain saw this Titanic-esque resurgence of extremism coming for years, and those stubborn ‘PaRadiGms of GoOd’ (again, left and right) are equally complicit in it’s popularity…
