Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Where? All of your claims are still wrong when you consider the entire world not just your neighborhood.
A country where the alt right is on the rise.
A country where everything is better than 30 years ago I would assume the alt right would have probably not growth that much.
Housing cost increase, for instance, is happening in all Europe, which is one of the places of the world where the alt right is skyrocketing their electoral results.
For instance Germany, where latest elections have shown a worrying rise of AfD has this chart of house prices.

The graph shows a blimp down in 2024, but in recent data the prices are already rising again in 2026.
Also my country is not a neighborhood, it's a 50 million people place, and one of the biggest countries of the EU who might fall to an alt right government as soon as 2027. And live being much better in other countries is not something people who vote here take into consideration, they value how their own lives have been getting better or worse. Saying that "spme other country in the world" is going better have zero relevance when talking about alt right rising in specific countries.
Yet there is no country where everything is worse than 30 years ago by any objective metric.
