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.

Now I’m not political, but 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?

      Yeah, fuck that guy though. He’s a grifting charlatan who played a direct role in this topic of discussion here by helping upend civil discourse with disingenuous sophistry. Also he’s a degenerate drug addict who doesn’t follow his own rules, since he just stole really common advice and pawned it off as revolutionary ideas. You mom told you to clean your fucking room for years and you ignored her, but some failed philosphy prof gets to be daddy for you because he work a funny suit and larped as and edgy joker boi? Pathetic. If that stings cause it’s close to home as well as an accurate read on lobster king, fuck you too.

      He writes like he has just discovered a thesaurus and would like you to know he is verbose. His writing is convoluted and grandiloquent, and often wilfully ambiguous. Its difficult to tell if he has a point, much like George Galloway. I think he thinks a grandiose tone is what is most important.

        So do I. But I’m uneducated pleb and need the edge. He’s a legitimate PhD and could dispense with the verbosity and still be taken seriously. If it weren’t for the distinct lack of anything of substance to say that isn’t just more garbled attempts at clinging to the coattails of a fascist movement.

      Reactionary brain rot from a man who rotted his own brain with drugs and a medically induced coma because he was too dumb to take his doctor’s advice.

      Peterson is an idiot’s idea of a smart man. He’s even more of a dipshit than he was a decade ago, and that’s really saying something.

      Take your racist drivel somewhere else.
