The ongoing peace talks in Switzerland between American and Iranian officials got off Sunday to a rocky start, according to one Emirati political analyst who went on to describe the spectacle as nothing short of “humiliation” for Vice President JD Vance, who’s leading the U.S. delegation.“This was h...
Those people doing all that you talk about are openly Rightwing parties, not “liberals” and they barelly use elements of “liberal” discourse.
The closest to it is the CDU/CSU in Germany and that’s pretty much only when it comes to anything Jewish - in that they push discriminatory treatment along Racial lines (in other words, Racial Discrimination) but only in favour of members of the Jewish Ethnicity and even there only for the Zionists (Jewish groups against the Zionist Genocide too are discriminated against) - not for the rest, and that’s the entire political landscape in Germany except Die Linke (and even then just part of Die Linke not all of it), not just the CDU/CSU. As far as I can tell the SPD aren’t really preaching the “liberal” credo beyond justifying differentiated treatment for the entire Jewish ethnicity using the “liberal” made up concept of Racial Victimhood (which would require some kind of shared Racial Hive Mind to be true, so is actually Racist as fuck).
The point I was making wasn’t that the West isn’t rife with Racism, it’s that the “moderate”/mainstream Left parties packaging reductive identitarian views of human beings and selling as “positive” some forms of Discrimination along those lines (not just the Racist lines, but all kinds of “identities”) isn’t anywhere as common in the rest of the West as it is in Anglo-Saxon countries. You see this even more clearly with other typical “liberal” identities other than Race, where even the Right in most of the West doesn’t really care either way - it’s places like the US and UK which rage about things like transsexuality, not places like Germany or France.
Absolutelly, the “moderate” Right in the West is rabidly Racist (hence their unwavering support for the White Supremacist State of Israel during a Genocide), but the “moderate”/mainstream “Left”-of-center parties aren’t usually “liberal” like in the UK, US and Canada.
Sadly at the moment the Right is in power in most of Europe, hence all the anti-immigration rethoric and support for Israel. A notable exception is Spain.
The German Greens and the Renaissance party are center-left and center (relatively speaking for their respective countries). They are explicitly liberal. The same can be said of the the various Latin American and and East Asian parties. Very regularly right in the center of their national overton windows and openly in favor of collaborating with neighboring liberal governments on their policies.
The ethnic lines vary. But the general disdain for immigrants, foreign religions, and foreign languages persist.
