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?

    Centrist governments aren’t doing shit to fix the problems people are having because they’ve been bought by billionaires. Far right is something different and it’s pointing at “problems” that hateful morons find easy to solve. The result is a lot of people checked out of engaging with politics because it feels pointless and a lot of hateful morons checked in because there’s finally someone talking their language.
