Survey data from 14 countries, researchers found individuals dissatisfied with their lives are more likely to hold negative views on immigration and distrust political institutions.
I know that I’m dissatisfied with the proliferation of both left and right wing extremism, but the right wing variety does present much more immediate threats.
Now do a study of the link between social media use and life dissatisfaction.
“I am unhappy with _____.”
“Hi, I’m popular right wing person. Are you unhappy? Whatever it is, it’s their fault. And if you elect me, they won’t ever hurt you again.”
It’s amazing how hard it is to combat this.
It’s funny (not ha ha funny) how people don’t learn from history. There was a surge in right-wing populist sentiment in the 1930s and we all know how it ended. Having said that I understand why people lean right. Progressive governments made the normal people’s lives hard - forcing political correctness, ignoring illegal immigration and the issues caused by it, allowing petty crime go unpunished and so on. People are just tired literally fighting for their lives and are voting for populist parties that promise the good old days to return.
Which progressive government, specifically, made normal people’s lives hard? Was it the recent long-ruling center-right governments in France, Germany, and the UK? Are Italy and Poland too “politically correct” for whoever “normal people” are? Italy is famous for short-lived governments but Silvio Burlusconi was Prime Minister the longest and you could use just clips of him and make a solid training video called “Identifying sexual harassment.”
And maybe cite some statistics on crime. Europe might be the safest place in the world.

Ah yes, all those people literally fighting not to die from political correctness.
It’s interesting how people nitpick on least important things to ridicule valid argument. I was referring to ignoring crime just because the offender was the minority. But since you brought PC to the light, cancel culture has made so many good things to the people…
Clown statement…
Legal immigration is not much better:
CBO estimated that net immigration was 2.67 million immigrants in 2022, and 3.3 million immigrants in 2023, the highest in its data going back to 2000, and about triple the average rate between 2000 and 2021 (1.05 million immigrants per year).
I wonder why this would happen… What happened in 2022 that would require a large infux of slave labour?
