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.

    There are dangers of the far right that don’t require them to attain complete governmental control. They can move the Overton window. They can push the center right further from center. They can increase violence against minorities. They can put pressure on specific agenda items, either by obstructing government function, or by agreeing to cooperate on more popular agenda items in exchange.

    None of these are hypothetical. This is just what’s already happening.

      I don’t think that will ever happen at least not in America and countries in America’s sphere of influence.

      A lot of far right ideas are just to unpopular. Going back on feminism and having women be submissive ? That will never happen, LGBT rights ? 25% of Gen Z is queer they will never move that overtone window. Race ? White people are on the verge of extinction, they are losing bad. I think white people kill themselves more then they kill any minority. If they try anything rash they will just be hunted to extinction or kill themselves in shame.

        it literally already is

        so the removal of bodily autonomy and forced birth is, what exactly?

        LGBT rights ? 25% of Gen Z is queer they will never move that overtone window.

        25% of gen z is still only a tiny drop in the voting population, not to mention that being queer unfortunately doesn’t automatically make you a leftist

        Race ? White people are on the verge of extinction, they are losing bad. I think white people kill themselves more then they kill any minority. If they try anything rash they will just be hunted to extinction or kill themselves in shame.

        WOW

        I was giving you a lot of benefit of the doubt assuming good faith, but nah, fuck this “great replacement” bullshit, you’ve completely given yourself away there.

        I’m done here.

          not something the rich support, basically every big corporation supports abortion

          https://www.reuters.com/world/us/companies-offering-abortion-travel-benefits-us-workers-2022-06-24/

          I bring up Gen Z because they are the future of society, even their small vote was enough to turn the tide for Biden in 2020 and for the dems in 2022, the older generations that don’t support queer rights will be dead soon

          Lastly you accusing me of supporting the great replacement is a low blow, I am Turkish for your information and I am not to fond of white people. How was anything I said wrong ? The white population is declining is objectively true and I think that’s a good thing. White people do kill themselves a lot again that is just true white males have the highest suicide. You appeal to history a lot, what happens when white people try to oppose their will on POCs ? If never ends well. Look at Hati,Zimbabwe,South Africa and Africa more broadly,Ataturk kicking the whites out of Turkey and the Russo Japanese war.
