The far right's appropriation of #Catholicism in Europe and the US, as seen in posts like this and countless others on social media, will be one of @Pontifex's greatest challenges in the years ahead. This isn't about faith; it's about money and power. #Catholicism #FarRight #SocialMedia #EU #US
This system of international far-right oligarchy should make more people angry. (translated)
Farage and Le Pen try Trump's trick of turning scandal to their advantage — The godparents of Europe’s populist far-right have both faced corruption scandal this week. Their response? Hope voters will agree the establishment is conspiring to stitch them up https://t.co/LTqx3jWv12 #Populism #Corruption #FarRight #GB #FR #US
Mary Beard, historian: There is a deeply far-right appropriation of the classics. Trump, as Hitler and Mussolini did in their day, uses the Roman Empire for his own purposes https://t.co/GXVhgMGEtd #MaryBeard #Classics #FarRight #US #IT
Europe is coming together, becoming ever more resilient. But at the member-state level, domestic politics becomes ever more volatile. That threatens to cast EU into disarray, hobbling its bid for independence, exposed to the predations of the far right https://t.co/S0jIfte0A1 #Europe #EUpolitics #FarRight #EU
French far-right leader Jordan Bardella’s romance with an Italian princess has handed critics an irresistible line of attack: hypocrisy. The National Rally’s told to be champion of the working class is getting close to the elite his party claims to oppose https://t.co/ek8oJESd0P #FrenchPolitics #FarRight #Hypocrisy #FR #IT
France’s south is testing out far-right rule— The capture of Nice reveals its potent new electoral strategy, mixing raw nativism with promises of fiscal liberalism, which marries its traditional working-class base with a liberal-minded bourgeois electorate https://t.co/uHpVhxpJ8d #FarRight #Nativism #FiscalLiberalism #FR
The dramatic Trumpification of Latin America — Much of Latin America’s new far-right copies Trump’s communication style, his positioning as an outsider, and his relentless rhetorical and legal assaults on political opponents and the press https://t.co/E9Ed7wNNAY #Trumpification #LatinAmerica #FarRight #LAT #US
23% of voters in Europe now back far-right parties, from about 10% a decade ago and roughly 5% in 1995. The proportion has grown nearly fivefold since the mid-1990s and climbed particularly steeply over the past 3 years https://t.co/LGTHO80eWA #FarRight #Europe #Politics #EU
This is not about *kings*. It’s a movement and it‘s breaking the far right’s monopoly over an alternative to the status quo by offering real change. https://t.co/9ZZ3pRJp3l #Movement #RealChange #FarRight #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedfromthetweetprovided.
Here's one way to deal with media you disagree with: dismiss them as "far right" and evade their questions as a some sort of "principled" position. But this is not just an avoidance of the questions of one media organ: it is also a disengagement from the chunk of the electorate #MediaBias #PoliticalDisengagement #FarRight
The Russian and Trump aligned far right wanted Brexit because it weakened UK and its liberal democracy. They also now want Starmer gone, for the same reasons. And the British rightwing press is helping them. Just a few years ago this wd have been regarded as treason. Now? #Brexit #FarRight #UKPolitics #RU #US #GB
As UK two-party democracy disintegrates, and voters splinter in five or six directions, the boundaries that once distinguished the center-right from the far right have collapsed as the former struggles to keep up with the rage bait of far-right influencers https://t.co/piJKVt3za5 #UKPolitics #FarRight #Democracy #UK
Very good editorial by the Guardian. Starmer needs to address the dangerous mechanism of far right violence being normalised online to then be spread on the streets. What happened in Belfast has nothing to do with protest against anything. It's racist extremism. #FarRight #Racism #OnlineViolence #GB #IE
