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?
That is scary
When i was growing up we used to enjoy an illuminati conspiracy theory, a bunch of incredibly powerful people behind closed doors pulling the strings of society. So ya now we have that IRL and its not even happening behind closed doors. The reason why rightwing populism is up is… the people with money who create the narrative and incentive structure of society are steering us that way. There is no meaningful opposition to Facebook and Fox News slowly rotting out society.
