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?

    I got you going in circles. I got you reusing the same image. I got you to escalate this to “end with nuclear war.” I got you to ignore that Putin has maintained dictatorial power for 25 years and claim I’m against democracy.

    Took me longer than I expected.

    I’m going to give you some advice. In the future if you ever want to pursuade anyone in “The West” of any sort of opinion.

    Do not assume any of us have a collective belief or understanding. With one single caveat. We are individually unique. We use democracy to agree on things. Unfortunately most people listen to emotion rather than logic.

    You give zero shits about democracy. If America is directly arming 80% of dictatorship then that makes America the LEAST democratic nation in the world

    “You give zero shits” is an insanely stupid statement in our culture. It is indicitive of mental health disorders. Because cognitively, its a defense mechanism, and to us, it clearly means the individual is projecting an assumption based on their experience and belief.
