> We're soon to have elections and it looks like we'll have Geert Wilders for prime minister

That's incredibly depressing. I only know of Geert Wilders from the court case (it was part of a law class), but I always assumed he was some uber-fringe politician who would never get anywhere near high office.

The world is entering a new period of radicalization and I'm very worried about the consequences.

Yes, it is depressing. What's even more depressing is when you walk around say a supermarket here and you're wondering to yourself which one of the 5 people waiting in line at the checkout is the closet facist. The old friendly lady? The woman with the toddler? You think you may be able to rule out the dude with the 'peace' sign around his neck, but you can't be really sure. I know it isn't me and the kid in front of me isn't of voting age yet.
