There is a spectre haunting Europe. The spectre of the alt right.

White nationalism is spreading in Europe, Marine Le pen came second in the French election, Geert Widlers is still getting votes in the Netherlands, we are suffering a brutal Brexit caused by racism and hate. We have 'Génération Identitaire' and 'Defend Europe' these movements that advocates the preservation of national identity and a return to 'traditional western values'. It started in France in 2002 as a conservative youth movement deriving from the French Nouvelle Droite, these people they want to oppress people of colour and preserve the white normalised standard of Europe. We, all decent people have to fight against this.
But what can we do to fight against this?

Simple, myth busting. The bizarre lie that Europe was once somehow a white continent needs to be stomped out. Europe has always been diverse with Africans and middle eastern people contributing to most of what we now racistly call 'western civilisation' (sounds nicer than white civilisation though doesn't it?) ever since Roman times brown and black people have been here, there and everywhere.

Also exposure. I don't see how anyone could say black and brown people are not under represented in the media and when they are it is only because a far right wing extremist committed a terrorist act. We need to stomp out the white normative standard. Cut down on blue eyes, blonde hair and other non inclusive physical traits. Media has normalised the white look as the standard of beauty which leads to unearned superiority while oppressing people who can not physically have such features leading to exclusion which is oppression.

What else do you think we could do?
