    I don’t fully understand German politics. But in the past decade, I’ve yet to see right wing movements bring lasting positive change to any angry or discontented country

      You say that as if any right wing movement had ever brought positive change, however short lasted.

        I fully agree with you, but just curious: what’s your opinion on the Taiwanese and South Korean governments between the 1950s and the 1990s?

      Soothing anger isnt their goal. Anger is just a tool they use to get what the want.

      Because that’s not the point. The point is to enrich the wealthy few.

      Lest we forget: “Right-wing” stems from “right-hand man”, i.e. a monarch’s yes-man most trusted advisor.

      To be fair, in 2025 it’s hard to point at any movement that achieved that, left or right wing.
