    As an example of Russia’s threat I would like to point out that a lot of the online divisiveness that allowed Trump to win in 2016 just doesn’t exist right now, so I imagine it’s currently even better in Europe. I think without Russia, a right wing wave isn’t possible.

    And I’m not sure how you don’t think a right wing wave is an existential threat given the conditions of our planet right now, right wing governments will just exasperate exacerbate an already severe problem. (I recognize neoliberalism isn’t doing anything to fix the problems but at least it isn’t trying to make them worse.
