is the far right in Europe the same as in the US?

ie:
crazy conservative Christian zealots

no

No, but what they both have in common is the fear of their countries being overrun by multiplying hordes of failed cultures.

Our nuts over here tend to be more economic nutters. Theirs are more xenophobic nutters.

Our right appeals to xenophobia too. They just keep it in check when it's politically beneficial. If it was politically beneficial to go xenophobic nutter, they'd do it in a heartbeat.

I can't really fault them. Have a population of Russian speaking people near you? You might just get thrust into a violent war with Putin's Russia.

I've read somewhat similar things with other countries, like Poland courting Polish speaking people, Hungary courting Hungarian speaking people in neighboring countries...

you mean there will be tensions when people of a completely different culture move into your country?

nawwww, that can't possibly happen!

from what news i've read, europeans don't seem to be too happy about north africans coming in. aussies aren't happy about malaysians (i think?) coming down and asking for asylum.
