I will be talking about western europe specifically as i am from here and the rise of the far-right really is a problem here and generally around the imperial core. Younger people tend to be quite incusive and non-racist as they grow up with immigrants from around the world with a few exceptions ofcourse but there is a general insecurity about the future among not only adults but also students which the far-right love to use to lurk especially the young, insecure and impressionable people into their movements. “its the immigrants who take our jobs, its the muslims who blablabla” all excuses for capitalisms failure as you all already know. I personnaly dont witness much hate for immigrants in my homecountry as it is a small country with a lot of immigration for long time but it has developed more of a white supremacist movement as the majority of people and older immigrants are from europe unlike the more nationalist-people forward parties like the AFD and the Brothers of Italy i would say. No significant leftist uprisings in any sight here, with luck you will see some Antifa/ Anarchist stickers on poles and that would be the most radical thing you could see…atleast in western europe.
I see anime bumper stickers once in a while. -American
I live in a red county of a battleground state, but not much of a battle imo. More like theatre. Cutting your puppet strings lands you in jail, impoverished etc. The left is just liberals here. If you aren’t out for your own self interest you are ostracized. It’s surreal even though I have been a part of it my entire life. Helping people is largely frowned upon in my area. My partner works at a wawa. She’s got some co workers who are constantly punching down, “looLook!, that person is probably on foodstsmps, gross”…you work at a damn gas station and you are probably on food stamps too. 🙄
They even uphold some principal in the name of wawa Inc. Taking petty theft as a personal affront “that’s like stealing from our paychecks!” Wtf
The racism is just so ingrained. I don’t even know.
