This thread should really just be renamed to "Anglophone countries, boring until they're not.
There is some merit to this notion, since this entire globalist ideology sort of originated with our fucked-up merchant culture.
If by "merchant culture-originated globalist ideology", you actually mean capitalism, it would be more accurate to lay the... blame(?) at the foot of the Dutch Republic.

No, I mean a cultural value that places commerce above identity and national interests.

Dutch had it a little bit, but I am not sure they were Keen to wipe out their own ethnicity.

Ah, well, that's just aristocracy then. Not so much "wipe out", as much as "not give a shit about it". No one really did. I know you know that nationalism isn't actually all that old. The sense that everyone from the same ethnicity should feel some sort of kinship because of shared blood, would have meant nothing to, say, a 17th century German aristocrat. The idea that a German peasant shared his blood would have been disgusting to him. It changes around late 18th century, but before that, you may as well consider aristocracy to be its own, seperate ethnicity.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/ ... parliament
The draft law — designed to stop what the government calls “manipulation of information” in the runup to elections — would allow political parties to complain about widely spread assertions deemed to be false or “implausible” and a French judge could immediately move to stop their publication.
...

And it passed:

https://www.politico.eu/article/french- ... fake-news/
Members of Emmanuel Macron’s centrist La République en Marche (LRM) party, who have an absolute majority in parliament, backed the bill along with a majority of MPs from the centrist Moderate Democrats.
I'm sure that will, in no way, be abused, at all. It'll be as trustworthy as the French police not letting French presidential aides do a little bit of hobby policing on French protesters' skulls. :clap:

Well, well, well.

Looks like higher court ruled that the judge was fucking well out of order when he railroaded Robinson without due process.

Tommy Robinson to be Released From Jail After Winning Appeal

The 35-year-old English Defence League founder was sentenced to a total of 13 months in prison but will be released later today after an appeals court found the judge who sentenced him rushed the trial and, by failing to specify exactly which part of Robinson’s live stream was problematic, denied him the opportunity to defend himself.

“It was unclear what conduct was said to comprise a breach of that order and the appellant was sentenced on the basis of conduct which fell outside the scope of that order,” the judgement read.
