Hello everyone,
so I’m not actually from New Zealand, but from Europe and I’m currently very worried about the rising popularity of facism and alt-right politics in my country and europe in general. I’m very scared of experiencing physical violence and I’m now very seriously considering moving to another country before the facist parties are elected into power. One of the countries I’m considering is New Zealand, because there wouldn’t be that big of a language barrier and also because I haven’t heard of a lot of problems with facism in New Zealand. So I wanted to ask you if my judgement is correct and what the political situation regarding the alt-right is like in New Zealand.
Thank you for reading. I really appreciate your help :)
It’s funny because the right wing people I’ve met talk about socialism and leftist politics being fascist. Left wing people talk about alt right populist movements as being fascist.
That indicates a highly functional propaganda machine is controlling narratives and sowing division.
“the jews are the real nazis”
It’s a bit more mundane than that:
If we are arguing past each other, it’s pretty tough to solve any real problems.
