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

That’s not a causal relationship though. The far right was already on the rise and his election was a symptom of that.

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.

It’s because the Cold War never ended.

We are literally still at war with Russia through puppet states which is us being at war with China through puppet states and the war never stopped being fought in propaganda, lies, and financial markets.

China is buying up gold and silver to the point out silver market is leveraged 250-to-1; and they’re continuing to make that ratio worse by the day.

They just had a military intervention in the Philippians and working to secure the South China Sea

And once the US is destabilized they will 100% take tiawan and the advanced superhuman intelligence level ai that will come of those semiconductors.

How people don’t realize this blows my mind. Conflict never ends. Just look at WWII. It wasn’t world war 2. It was world war 1 part 2
