It’s been reported that in the German elections, a far right party has made ‘significant gains’.

In the UK (at least before the scandals) Reform UK seems to have had a significant boost and has even surpassed the right-wing Conservative Party in some polls/predictions.

Even France, one or two years ago, was threatened with a far-right government due to the French far right party gaining a lot of support.

It feels like in the last few years, the far-right has exceeded itself and had a surge in popularity. Is this the case? And if so, wtf is fuelling it?

    Yet you use the same techniques you complain and cherry pick the data. Sure the share of overall wealth is down but the share still goes further due to technological advancements. Also the world doesn’t end at US borders FYI

      Can I use my share of the wealth to buy a presidency and a walk into the white house unelected and steal from the country?? Or do I need $1 trillion to do that? You understand what citizens united is right? The bottom 50% of this country has less political influence than one person.

        You know the world does not end at your american borders right? Your declining empire does not represent us all.

          K which shithole do you hail from I can get specific? Wealth inequality is a global problem that no one is immune to. And last I checked we’d forced out financial system upon the majority of the globe?? I’d say the decline of my country is happening right inside your country too, but you just let me know which country that is and we can discuss it more.
