God, I'm so sad.

Europe is becoming more and more islamophobic, which leads to the election of Right wing parties.
All U.S conservatives talk about is wanting to kill all Liberals.
China is spreading their fascist culture across Asia and Europe. oops, I meant Africa.
Russia looks like its going to become a superpower.
People sympathize with the Oslo maniac.

And there's nothing I can do...

Hey, it's not all bad. I mean, after all, what is the worst thing a right-wing European party fighting against subervise cultural influences and religious groups could do?

I honestly don't know what its like in Europe (I do know that the Islamic communities are giving governments a very hard time by refusing to acclimate into the populations). I also know that there have been very few death threats coming from either the far right or left here in America. The idea that Conservatives want to kill liberals is a distortion of the highest affair.

The important thing to remember is that not all conservatives are Right Wingers and vice versa.
Also, as long as we keep an eye on the Far Right, and counter their hateful propoganda at every turn, we will be OK.

Anyway, OP, on a more serious note I wouldn't worry: I think most people are becoming more and more liberal, it's just the insane, majorly vocal and vicious right wing that get heard over the less crazy ones. Conservative young 'uns are a dying breed :)

I have a rather ambivalent attitude to conservatives, largely because I don't fall within any of their sights. I'm christian, white, straight, middle-class and I don't do drugs. So I'm aces with most conservatives. I find myself thinking that conservatives let their prejudices get too much of them, particularly as it regards to nationalism. I hate conservatives on nationalism and social policy. We agree economically (sometimes...) but conservatives never seem to rightly apply it once their in power.

I'm sure some other non-specific political label scares you just as much, assuming you're apt to label those who scare you as such.

Since the Conservatives are ruling here in Canada, same-sex marraiges are going to be banned again and immigrants are going to be turned away.
