    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.
