I just don’t see how the far right can rise or how they can win. The odds are so stacked against them. Is this something to actually be worried about ?
The reason I ask this is because I am a leftist and if your using lemmy I am going to assume you are to. I feel like this “the far right is rising” narrative is an attempt by the neo liberal establishment to trick class focused leftist into supporting the status quo as a bulwark against a far right rise.
What do you define as them “winning”? You can say that out and open neo-nazis will never make up a majority of the voting populace. But they don’t need to be a majority to do real damage, and they shouldn’t be ignored just because they’re under 51%.
Look at everything that’s been happening already. Trump. Bolsonaro. Brexit. The repeal of Roe v. Wade. The erosion of LGBT rights. These are real issues, and they will not go away if we close our eyes.
And outside of just legislation they pass, consider a more human perspective. Each and every impressionable person that gets suckered into their ideology, that they teach to hate, that’s a tragedy already. We need to do everything we can to save people from hate.
I have explained more as to why their “wins” were not cause for concern in other post, I have even addressed Trump, Bolsenaro and Brexit specifically
I also talk about the reproductive rights of women more broadly in other post.
All of these issues absolutely are cause for concern. The more I read you trying to pretend they’re not, the more I’m beginning to wonder if you’re just a fash in disguise.
