[Opinion] Hoe de N-VA haar zo geliefde Verlichting de rug toekeert

Hoe kan een partij die zich opwerpt als enige verdediger van vrijheid en gelijkheid samenwerken met mensen en partijen die homo’s niet zien als gelijke burgers?

That was what the enlightenment was all about? gay marriage? If the key figures of the enlightenment were to be resurrected and brought to this modern age they would be horrified about displays of homosexuality, women given the vote and bringing in foreigners. The only people that would make somewhat sense to them are 'Vlaams Belang' and even then they would call them retards because they include women in politics. Using his norm, working together with the 2012 version of Barack Obama would be working together with somebody who denies equal rights for holibis.

Why did liberalism turn its back on its people? Classical liberalism was nationalistic, they romanticized "the people", they viewed the nation ((naissance), "place of origin") as something that worked in the interests of the people.

Neo-liberalism is pure open borders and selling one's mother into prostitution for a rise in GDP. Their nation becomes a prostitute. The people now have to bow to the economy and some abstract set of values that dooms them as being suckers in favor of other people's interests.

If you wan't to stop fascism, then stop abusing the people's liberal values and stop turning it against their own primal interests. Nobody is going to support a value that allows one to be punched in the face but prevents from punching back.

Het is allemaal de schuld van de neo-liberalen
