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?

    You can always trust Westerners to blame all their countries problems on sinister conspiracy by evil foreigners

        Yeah man, the West’s problems are definitely the result of a hundred year old conspiracy.

          Can you not read, friend? It’s not a conspiracy, it’s a destabilisation strategy. To quote the fragment from the article I sent you:

          [The] playbook [is] nearly 100 years old. In 1923, the GPU (née KGB) founded an office dedicated to “dezinformatsiya.”

          It’s literally one of the most known global strategies on the planet, mate.

            Yeah man, the West’s problems are definitely the result of a hundred year old conspiracy “strategy”.

            Everyone knows that those dastardly Russians invented the concept of “lying” in 1923
