    anti-establishment

    That’s a real nice way of saying “fascist”.

      saying “fascist”

      Not really, it’s more both the extreme left and right groups, that people are flocking to. There’s a clear graph in the article.

        I think it’s a bit of a false equivalence given that the fascist-adjacent right is significantly larger than the populist left.

        Sure, the weird tankies are also a problem, but it’s misleading to suggest the scale of the issues are equal.

          The only people that actually fight the Nazis are also an issue? Cause when push-comes-to-shove, liberals always side with the Nazis…

        And considering there have been declines in the extreme-left in favor of the extreme-right (for example the case of Die Linke in Germany), it’s clear that a huge chunk of voters don’t care about the difference.
