Billionaires. They fund right-wring advocates, because tearing down establishment concepts like “rule of law”, “industrial standards”, “equality”, and so forth is very useful to the wealthy.

• Rising costs / decline in incomes
• Failing infrastructure
• Decline in education
• Repression of history
• Brainwash through social media
• Nostalgia

pieces of shit.

and elon musk.

but i repeat myself

It’s a tool used by elites to maintain control. Capitalism has always used fascism as its survival strategy of last resort.

Honestly, i genuinely believe that social media algorithms are being manipulated by billionaires to push an agenda that saves them from tax or accountability.I am centre left and try to mould fb and insta feeds by specifically flagging content i dislike or dont agree with and it keeps coming back. Some of the insane ‘stop the boats’ shit i see here in the uk from creators and bots i have never heard of or interacted with in anyway is very, very suspicious.

Big money interfering. Social media was just the latest iteration, billionaires have been buying news outlets since we had news outlets.

Life is getting shit for everyone, but it’s a lot simpler and more accessible to blame a handful of brown people for everything. When a man in a tie says the same shit you’ve been saying down the pub, it’s too easy for people to fall into lockstep with them.

Tech bros? Especially Peter Thiel. I thought this is common knowledge already.

Fear.

When people are afraid, they are less likely to help others, and want to protect their family and posessions.

It’s a two-pronged attack.

One is russia. They have “chaos campaigns” going back decades just to sow discord and cause disruption in Europe. There’s no better discord and disruption than threatening the EU as a whole.

The second is big American businesses and billionaires, because they hate how the EU presents a unified front against their bullshit and actually forces them to do things that chip into the bottom line.

Billionaires are pouring infinite money into right wing movements. They have no scruples and can pay anyone they need to get what they want done. The problem is capitalism because it creates extreme unelected power in an extremely small self interested minority. They also fund the power centers of the left to keep things from moving too far against them. Elections move on money far too much. In the end, you can’t have democracy and capitalism. Slowly capitalism always tries to swallow democracy.

Inequality and decades of painting anything left as evil communism.

Plus liberals would rather hand the reins to fascists than socialists.

American billionaires

Billionaires and democracy are not compatible systems

South African white nationalists and “centrist” politicians.

The world is complex. Humans aren’t equipped to deal with that level of complexity. Also the amount of information we are bombarded with is far beyond what we have evolved to deal with.

The right offers a simple solution.

There is one group, “the other”, that is the root cause of all your problems. Get rid of them and everything will be swanky again.

This plays on one of our earliest and most ingrained senses of survival. As a social tribal species, we are very good at noticing things that are “like us” and “normal”. “Different” and “new” was a potential threat. It literally kept our species alive against far more powerful predators and competition from like species back we we huddled together against the dark night.

Unfortunately we’re just wired that way. It takes knowledge, wisdom and a healthy dose of curiosity/wonder to overcome that. Why do you think one of the first goals of the right is to dismantle education?
