When I'm failing to understand is why is the world turning to the right? For the last 6 years or so things got a lot better here in the United States and around the world, the Great Recession ended, the Taliban and other militant groups lost most of their power, China was no longer a political pariah, the twilight of oil came the start of renewable energy and new technology, and even Russia achieved peace in regions like Chechnya (albeit throught force and puppet regimes). The 2000s and early 2010s had been looking up yet the world decided to smash all of it and why? It's fair to say that conservative beliefs and movements are powered almost exclusively by fear, but what's there to be afraid of? The economic uncertainty that got other conservative leaders like Ronald Reagan into power didn't exist and the fear of violence that got Bush another term doesn't exist either so it confounds me that just as we are about to get back up again the whole world decides to collectively shoot themselves in the knee.

There's a short term answer and long term answer. Long term is the slow decay of capitalist western coutnries due to the gutting of the worlds safety nets in the name of neoliberalism. It makes the people in countries that gouge like this more vulnerable to the bust times that just come with something like a capitalist economy Short term the financial collapse was massive, and while the stock market recovered, most people didn't. The lack of support systems in many countries has led to people suffering a lto and feeling like they lost something thei were promised. This anger misplaced on to people who dont look like them is whats pushing people to the far right.

I've also heard it as a response to globalism by ethnically and culturally isolated societies who believe that global cooperation is somehow an assault on them, pushing immigration bans and nationalism to "defend white heritage" and whatnot (though it can be applied to places like China and the Philippines as well who are also nationalist right-wing governments)
