What a fucking cuck. I lost all respect for him over this cowardness. VB here in Flanders has been through much worse. When he rose to prominence I was enamored by his intellect, eloquence, and charisma. I really thought he had a serious future in politics, but his party has been going downhill for months now, and he's been suffering from a toxic free market fetish too. It's yet another example of reactionaries failing. His unapologetic romanticism was refreshing, but he was too much of a petty nationalist with outdated and knee-jerk solutions. So much potential wasted.

By the way, welcome back my Danish friend. :)

Sorry I know nothing about him but whenever I hear that major red flag where serious European Nationalists start to inexplicably praise this 'free market' thing I smell the hand of Bannon and his 'National Populist Economics' milieu. Was he getting sucked into that crowd?

    He's not fully Dutch

    Partly French, yes, but as a pan-European I don't care.

    and I heard that he was in a relationship with a Persian (is this true?)

    I think so.

    He gave a desperately needed intellectual character to the populist right.

    I agree.

    I'm so tired of Jews whining about people criticizing them. Why can't people just say "No one is above criticism, deal with it" and leave it at that.
