    about why right wing populism is rising

    Because the center bothers only to block the left, and therefore the quite valid anger at the capitalism status quo gets pushed to the right.

    Also, most European right wing parties are to the left of the US Democrats, so comparing them is pretty silly.

      Ya you guys just invented fascism and Nazism, we inspired it with Jim Crow, which was inspired by your colonies, we went on to work on our own stupid version which is on full display right now. Let’s see how Germany does with the AfD shall we??

        “you guys”?

        Buddy, I’m an American who emigrated to Spain.

        Nazism took major points from the American south - there’s a decent argument that the Redeemer governments that put in Jim Crow were the first proto-fascists.

        Let’s see how Germany does with the AfD shall we

        Yeah, Germany is once again trying to imitate the US. Its automobile sector became rapidly outdated by missing the boat on EVs . . . and so now they’re trying to push a defense sector to substitute. Pretty USA in the 1980s actually.

        The EU has some major things to fix - and German defacto leadership is one of the first, along with removing the German reflexive bootlicking of the US.

          Once again, I am just pointing out that you guys (which is you having fled the country), have your own right wing parties accumulating power under the same wealth inequality and financial levers. The USA just has a more mature version but it’s something you’re gonna get to enjoy very soon. So while you sit and point, the finger at us keep ignoring your own little homegrown shit bags, and see what happens.

            Dude, I’m in Spain. Do you think Spain is unfamiliar with the costs that right wing psychos put on the population? I assure you, it is not.

            Except nobody is ignoring them. But to claim that the idea that Vox might get a minority position in parliment while the center falls is identical to the US, where your right wing Dems are unable to stop the extreme right wing GOP from controlling the entire government, is simply to show you don’t understand what these things are.
