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?

    It started with what the Kremlin (and only the Kremlin) called a coup.

    Edit: An aside, I do enjoy these chats. Sort of hope you don’t just ghost me, and that this post doesn’t get nuked. 4 days is damn impressive. An unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. One of us claims one man and his seat of government for the past quarter century is the whole problem, and the other claims it’s half of the entire world. Where could it possibly end?
