Thinking russia is the cause of everything and and right wing across the world is equally if not as dumb as supporting them.

Canada mass imported nazis after the 2nd world war to rural areas because they wanted to prevent communism from spreading
But that isn’t “why now”

Because the disparity in wealth continues to grow.
People are angry but they have been conditioned (by their rulers) to be angry at the wrong things.
Neo-liberals expect unwavering loyalty from their constituency (you have to call transpeople by the gender they specify even if you disagree with their beliefs), but raising taxes on the wealthy or updating consumer protection laws is never on the table.
Since there is no party of the working class, the disenfranchised workers just flock to whatever party supports their social beliefs.
It’s why fighting the culture war is a distraction from the class war.

You’re half right. Just had to throw in an example implying you think trans rights are a belief? Gtfo of here dude. If you didn’t want to bring a culture war into the conversation, you could have left that example out entirely…
