  • A combination of things:

    First, misinformation travels at light speed thanks to the lack of control in social media and internet.

    Then, we have a generational crisis that is causing a strong lack of confidence in the actual political class because they are seen as incapable of resolving our generation issues.

    Add to this that there is the perception of a strong migration problem (pushed by the far right).

    The far right capitalizes on all of the above.

    Also, it is treated like a cult by its followers because they thrive in environments where the intelligence is not required (it’s actually encouraged to not be intelligent and critical thinker).

    The far right is also known to be populist, and they don’t need to be held accountable for their lies because their followers act as a cult.

    If you sum this all up, you get our situation: young people voting fascism even more than boomers (look at Germany’s last election).

    It really is scary.
