  I think it’s more about rage bait. The far right just happens to have the best rage bait for the moderate majority.

    And any resistance to those policies is met with more rage from the right, its a self propelling cycle.

    Why isn’t class-based rage as popular, then?

    • Salvia@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Because the right censors that and feeds anti-socialist propaganda to the media so people misunderstand it and don’t try to fight it.

      because everyone thinks they are middle-class, and everyone aspires to be rich.

      very few people think improving the conditions of the working class is a worthwhile goal… the goal is to get out of the working class and feel superior to them.

      Because it’s based on reality and doesn’t pander quite as much.

  Also the fact that people with moderate views don’t tend to watch political content all that much.

    Yeah “centricism” is just privileged fascism.

  Good policy is boring. Good government is boring. A company with moderate growth targets is boring.

  Well-informed, articulate, and smart opinions… are boring.

  Keeping food in the supermarkets and having working infrastructure will definitely generate ad revenue… I mean “engagement” than threatening to kill all foreigners and LGBT people.

  “Moderates” are right-wing, just like liberals.
