  They don’t care, it’s a party that actually addresses their concerns and offers something different. Victims of Capitalism in decay always turn to populism, because they’re being ignored by the existing system. Sometimes that populism is being done by good people, sometimes its fascists, sometimes it’s both.

  In the Imperial fringes like Australia, it’s just fascism doing any kind of talking. There is no actual labour movement despite the alleged political group that has burrowed into the eponymous party, hollowed out the core, and publicly deemed anyone actually pro-labour as antisemitic. So of course the fascist party is the one that will be gaining votes.

  Because they declare that the status quo is bad, and most people will resonate with that message.

  Do people not realise, or not care?

  For most, I suspect it’s the first. Media bubbles are crazy, and that’s why it’s vital for everyone to mention these things in day-to-day life (ideally without being preachy or inflammatory).

  This is expected. Liberalism allowed right wing fascists and billionaires to construct propaganda machines, surveillance capitalism to collect all the data, and all of them to engage in targeted psychological warfare campaigns for profit.

  Fascism is capitalism in decay, and the majority are too brainwashed and uneducated to realise they’re being conned by even worse psychopaths than the current gaggle of corrupt corporate-whores.

  Its easier when theres big money, friendly porpogandists in the media, and social media slop farms backing you and keeping you’re face and latest message constantly in people’s faces.
