What the hell is going on in Europe that's causing this recent surge in the far right? Seriously, fist Italy, then Spain, now Germany of all places.

What's going on in Europe is being flooded by propaganda and bulshit narratives 24/7, mostly via social media run by US companies.

Yep. The talking points here in Germany are almost the same as in the US a few months ago. It's the same machinery that fuels both shores.

International right-wing media like News Corp.

It's a combination of failed education and the social network hype. People here don't recognize manipulative writings from independent news anymore. The social networks additionally stir people up with their dumbed down political shows, populism and lies.
