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?

        Mate, how pathetic is this? You have historical proof, linked, all you need to do is read it, but that’s too difficult for you so you pretend like Lemmy is some kind of platform for a better sort of people? Are you twelve? :D

          I have read it, that’s how I know it’s just baseless conspiracy theory. “Proof”? Sounds like you didn’t read it, just jumped straight to being a smug dumbass.

            Out of curiosity: do you also believe that the Moon landing was fake and the the Earth is flat? :D

                You’re like the “reverse paranoid conspiracy theorist” - you don’t believe in common facts because you don’t like them. :D

                  “common facts” and then you look inside and it’s completely baseless warmed over McCarthyism.
