It’s been reported that in the German elections, a far right party has made ‘significant gains’.

In the UK (at least before the scandals) Reform UK seems to have had a significant boost and has even surpassed the right-wing Conservative Party in some polls/predictions.

Even France, one or two years ago, was threatened with a far-right government due to the French far right party gaining a lot of support.

It feels like in the last few years, the far-right has exceeded itself and had a surge in popularity. Is this the case? And if so, wtf is fuelling it?

I have the US tech companies bailing out the US debt bubble, and seizing control of the country on my bingo card!

    Have you seen Incorporated: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4118466/ ?

    Shows really well what it might look like. Great show, such a shame it got cancelled.

    Have you seen anything interesting recently (that's not Start Wars or Marvel)? I'm always looking for good SciFi.

    I did Apple TV last winter and I gotta say, they might be the king of sci-fi shows. But i haven't watched TV since there was snow on the ground. Pluribus, foundation, and The silo are the three I'm really excited to get a new season to watch. All the sci-fi shows i watched on there were genuinely enjoyable. I had no idea they were doing sci-fi so it felt like finding a treasure trove. Totally worth dropping the 1-2 months of subscription fees and binge watching.
