npub1r9jrhg4d249sn7z7pyunpsa9zcdr7rjtg90x3w3e78a7jrp7wadsvw4h54 (npub1r9j…4h54) npub1zl8j5tfhnhmyyy438vkkmf8n8kfzueu9uwpn55yufslr7h7x4nrqzapnyf (npub1zl8…pnyf) I don't think that I'm generalizing. It's just become hard to ignore the patterns at work here, if the same patterns keep repeating across different countries and different elections.
These patterns are mostly rooted in the far right's ability of identifying and "hacking" well-known sociological and psychological mechanisms.
The mix of us-vs-them rhetoric, keeping populations uneducated and angry, and making sure that they keep hating anything they're unfamiliar with rather than understanding them and interacting with them, has become such a trademark of 21st century far-right politics that everybody, from Wilders, to Orban, Salvini, Trump, Putin, Le Pen, Farage, AfD, PiS, have simply to leverage that textbook again and again.
They will keep winning or representing a continuous threat on our political systems until we either use their own weapons against them (which would suck IMHO), or we make sure that enough people have access to good education and develop critical skills (which is unlikely to bear fruit until the next ~20 years), or we try and target the issues of polarization and voter apathy with something along the lines of the Australian model (which probably won't fix all the problems, but it may fix some of them: Australia is basically the only Western country that hasn't been threatened by far-right forces also thanks to its political system that naturally neutralizes the extremes).
