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.

    OP is either a bot or a right-wing troll. I suspected as much based on the language used in the post, but I replied in good faith. They claim to be “leftist” but then say that nothing bad happened under Trump or Bolsonaro or as a result of Brexit. OP is most likely intending to lull progressives into complacency by spreading “the right isn’t a threat” BS so we feel less urgency to vote.

    Corroborating evidence is that their entire post history is this thread and an AI image with racist overtones.


    ETA they’re probably a bot based on how quickly they’re replying to comments and the length of those replies.

      I was about to say the same thing. I’m not reading all that shit. This is bot generated right wing propaganda.

      I hate Trump, because I hate America as a whole and all of it’s leaders. Trump was just another American leader nothing special. He robs his people to fund a genocidal military that only exist to prop up the imperial core for the bourgeois.

      Also yes bad stuff has happened under Brexit mainly related to economy, but everyone say that immigration would be massively restricted. I saw some saying there would be genocides or large scale oppression of ethnic minorities in the UK. Not only has that not happened an ethnic minority currently rules the country.

      I admit maybe Bolsenaro was worst then I gave him credit for. I am not knowledgeable about Brazilian politics but Lula DeSilva seems to be doing great for his people and it doesn’t sound like Lula has to play a lot of damage control for Bolsenaro’s actions.

      Also what is racist about the image I posted ? It’s just a kid who happens to be black running from Alligators. I mention the kid’s race nowhere if he wasn’t black nothing would change about the image.

          I am not trolling, the point of a troll is to make people sad or angry. I fail to see how my post could possibly be interpreted as having that effect. What have I posted that could be interpreted as inflammatory ?

      If that is my goal, why am I doing it on fucking Lemmy ? A platform that is not used by many people.

      I explained my goal in the post and I will restate it here.

      I want my fellow leftist to not fall for the tricks of the bourgeois, I don’t want our movement to get derailed focusing on a far right bogyman instead of focusing on the clear and present threat of the parasitic capitalists class destroying our planet and keeping us down.
