What the fuck is happening.
Poor education, social media and targeted Russian misinformation campaigns. The perfect mix
And a failing neoliberal economic model
IDK about the education bit. Finland, once famous for it, is already governing in a neoliberal-conservative-fascist coalition.
Despite what the headline sounds like, this is not a new problem and it's happening across Europe, not just these three countries.
I blame neoliberalism, lobbyism aka legal corruption, and the Austerity narrative.
I would say it mainly boils down that basic needs aren’t fulfilled anymore. Increasing costs of groceries, rent, public transport, healthcare and taxes to name a few meet decreasing investments (monetary and political will in general) in infrastructure, social housing, healthcare, pensions etc. @
besides generally whats happening, its also putin/russian funds these groups(both right wing supremecists, far-right government and politicians, TRUMP being the most blatant example) at certain times of ever few years, usually around election time. why you see sudden rise of right wingers in all countries at once. AFD (both MUSK, and putin as of recently).
its also putin/russian funds these groups
Fund, supports, pushes on SoMe. Absolutely, and I should've mentioned that. That, too, has been going on for a long time.
