'The Netherlands for the Dutch! Stop the immigration! Western culture is superior, Islam inferior! Mass deportations of Muslims! A million to be expelled!'
Oh, and the bleached blond hair is entirely irrelevant when all the above is monomanically shouted by a person of mixed race immigrant ancestry himself. This man suffers in no way whatsoever from any identity complex whatsoever.
I wonder - who is mad here? Louis? Or taboos in the Netherlands?
'Okay, but even if you are right, Louis - and I am certainly not convinced you are - why should it be at all relevant?'
That is a good question. Me, I'd say that this man may soon be the leader of the largest Dutch party. A party without any history and which consist of...this man alone.
So this man's personality is important. There is no difference between party and person. Nor between person and party - Wilders self-identifies with his 'mission'.
And if this man does have issues, he may actually make good on his promises. He may actually be the fanatical maniac he appears to be. His quotes may not be mere provocations. He may actually mean what he says. And act on it....
