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?

      There’s no easier way to trigger the tankie bots than to call out Putin for being a piece of shit.

        “Anyone who doesn’t believe a foreign super villain is responsible for all of the West’s problems is a non-human and ‘triggered’”

        Literal fascist shit.

          He ordered APT groups and paid American influencers to push people to the right, essentially enabling the Trump administrations and our country’s big shift into fascism, resulting in very real issues like ICE shooting people in the streets, “deporting illegals” to concentration camps, our food becoming poisonous, the environment being destroyed in wanton fashion, idiots refusing to get vaccinations, our economy being in shambles, and our global alliances being demolished by a wannabe dictator.

          If you doubt this, I wonder why since Trump’s first order of business during his first administration was to try to end sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, which Congress then had to force him to uphold. This was, of course, after his “perfect call” with Putin that wasn’t on the record (as opposed to previous administrations keeping those records).

            If Russia has something on Trump than good on them.👍 Seems like Mamdani does too. 👍 I don’t exactly see the problem.

            Didn’t they also shitpost stuff about Bernie?

            And if they’re supporting fascists within their adversary, then they’re doing THE EXACT SAME THING AS WE ARE.
