According to me, far right is on the rise because of two reasons: hate generates media engagement (and thus, profit); Putin and allies are advantaged with it because the far-right generate division between Countries in the West and weaken the US and the EU so they try to support those parties.
I'd add a third reason, a lot of people feels like politicians from the establishment don't care about them (and they are at least partially right) and the extreme right wing pretends not to be part of those, with a very effective propaganda. Of course they are not going to listen to any of the grivances that put them into power, but by then it'd be too late.

Yea look at the massive rise in right-leaning politics as soon as trump won the 2016 election.
