The shape of things to come, both in Europe and in the United States:

Racial abuse, discrimination and the "bad version of nationalism" that promotes exclusion and hatred are on the rise, and the media may need to be regulated to help curtail the problem, European Justice Commissioner V?ra Jourová warned today.

A "dangerous" version of nationalism is "not only visible in the rising popularity of the extreme parties" but is also evident in the political mainstream, which "accept[s] some part of this rhetoric of division," the commissioner said in a speech in Vienna, according to pre-released notes obtained by Brussels Playbook.
