Bold of you to assume this post is limited to American neo-fascism. It absolutely resonated with me here in Germany. This “civilized world” you speak of - is it here in the room with us right now?
I never got the insistence of people that “stop immigration” would be a far-right thought.
Being against immigration can have lots of reasons, primarily economical reasons. It objectively (I’d say) is a good thing that the birth rate is dropping, because that improves the socio-economic position of the people. I.e., it reduces the supply in workforce, which increases prices for labor (a.k.a. wages). And it also means that more resources are available per person, which reduces the cost of living.
Yet, many people (especially the “greens”) seem to argue that we need more workers to fulfill the demands of our economy, which, frankly, is just bullshit and plainly wrong. … and that assumed need for more workers is then used as a justification to import people, as if they were a shippable product. It’s disgusting, really. First we start a war in the middle east; then we move the people to a foreign country. It’s a double shame.
Not quite - or at least they have the best chance at recovery if (and that’s a big if) they can oust Erdoğan and his cronies.
If they manage that, Turkiye would soon be more democratic than most of the EU in its present state.

Yep
Erdoğan is poison, and has been for so damned long
It’s a beautiful country with such potential
