Hard-right parties are now Europe’s most popular

Populism.

They managed to make low income people across the continent west vote directly against their own interests.

Because "immigrants". With such incredible promises as "banning illegal immigration".

Its a shitshow and I'm losing hope that we an recover in the next decade

the more educated people tend to vote either liberal or left

And this might be the reason. More educated, middle-class, from large cities are 'the elites', but not a significant majority. Poor, less educated people, from rural areas feel excluded in the world made by and for 'the elites'. So they are going to vote against what the elites want. And, on top of that, the opportunistic rich '1%', with means to influence politics, abuse those feelings for their own gain.

Have you not noticed that mainstream social media is full of fake accounts pushing thos narrative? There has to be a billion dollars or more poured into paid trolling on social media. Even small town facebook groups are full of fake right wing accounts. They even pretend to be leftwing and attack people for being "nazi appologists" or "tankies" there's even some accounts on here that do it. Those people are getting paid to do it.

It's also the internet fully emerging as a propaganda medium, with the biggest sites controlled by rightwing billionaires.

Except a very large portion or the conservative 25% would support the Nazis and massive amount would at least sell out their souls to them if the Nazis came in to power in governments, depending on the country.

So more like "50% against hard right and nazis and 25% undecided"

However, there are of course levels in hell and “hard-right” here

Doesn't matter. There are the insane ones and then there are the stupid ones that think they can totally be moderate while fishing for voters on the fringes of insanity without a) legitimizing the parties there and b) losing voters.

The alternative for conservative parties would be sane politics over populism. But as they are conservative, so inherently unfit to find any solutions for modern problems, they all chose to copy "hard-right" talking points and populist bullshit. And they will all canibalized the exact same way.

The difference you see isn't one of substance... just different parties in different countries running in slightly different time frames.

It's clearly the dildo on the end of a fucking machine. Look you can see the piston on the left.
