Rise of far-right in France after Paris Attacks

[Yorktown]

18. You are wrong on so many counts I can't count

1- What you call 'far right' in Europe is a motley crew. Different motivations. Farage has risen on an anti EU platform. The Padania movement in Italia on an anti-Southern Italy platform. Ascribing the rise of these parties (especially in the context of a still ongoing 2007-8 economic crisis) to your pet focus just doesn't fit the facts.

2- specifically in the case of France, the #1 reason for support to the Front National is unemployment. Both cenetr right and center left have governed for decades promising an end to economic doldrums and unemployment and failed. Mrs Le Pen has promised autarky and full employment and it resonates in a country where unemployment has shot up.

3- you appear to have decided the French are racists. It flies in the face of the study I provided. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglehart–Welzel_cultural_map_of_the_world
It's your impressions vs studies. Provide me other studies indicating the French are particularly racist and I'll listen.

4- but, and that's the cherry on top, you claim the French are racists based on the recent elcetoral results of the Front National of Mrs Le Pen. That is all the more funny that this party has been created and run by her father for 40 years. And Mr Le Pen wanted ALL Algerians to become French:
From the speech of the Deputy Jean-Marie Le Pen in the gallery of the National Assembly, 29 January 1958: (google translation)

"I said that in Islam there is no reason, from a moral point of view, to the believer or practicing Muslim full French citizens. On the contrary. In the main, its precepts are the same as those of the Christian religion, the foundation of Western civilization. on the other hand, I do not think there is more Algerian race than there are French race. There is a community that the customs and ancestral customs separate from both the modern world and the metropolitan home community for Muslims, offer input and integration in a dynamic France, in France conquering instead of telling them as we do now.. "You we much are very expensive, you are a burden, they say: we need you. You are the youth of the nation. "

All in all, I'd say you do not know the French or French politics very well.
