@Oberyn, censorship of journalists is obvious in Russia, but in western Europe it's only hidden. Journalists are threatened to lose their job if they speak about specific subjects here too. A lot of subjects have become tabboos because nobody dares to speak about it anymore because they're afraid of consequences on their life and job. Anybody speaking against the system is fired, censored or even threatened by private milicias (Soral's an exemple, Dieudonné too, though i'll agree with you that they're both morons, I don't support them at all).
You can't speak about national pride without being insulted of being a natzi. You can't speak about imigration without being insulted of being a natzi. You just can't speak about criminality without being insulted of being a natzi. You can't speak about prisons overpopulation, about how a huge majority of those prisoners are not from european origins, about how as soon as they're released they commit crimes again, about drugs and crime networks that are completely ignored, about police not being able to do its job because the state doesn't support it. You can speak about some corruption. But not all of it because everyone knows what happens up there, you'd have to be a fool to believe politics are for honest people. Most of the corruption is ignored because the government leads the police. You can't speak about religions, whereas everyone knows muslims are doing a lot of conversions, moslty among foreigners but now even for europeans thanks to the support of all the governments that used public money to build muslim temples and financed their organisations whereas the governments let the churches being destroyed every year. I could continue for hours with specific examples of censorship but that'd be tltr.
Marine le Pen is leading the 3rd strongest party in France because both the left and the right parties are bullshit full of corrupted morons and everyone is sick of both of those parties that are slightly different but have a lot in common. Though it's mostly a reactionnary vote because people want changes and she's the only alternative atm. The censorship, the fail of the past government and the crisis help her a lot. A bit of growing nationalism and ethnical cleansing but really that might be 1% at most. People don't believe they'll ever be president, which is true, so they vote for her to vote against the system but not for her as a president as they know she'll never get elected.
