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.
I assume this is probably not in good faith, but answering anyway for a reminder to others
