OppaGundamStyleThe kids are not all right-wing, data on young voters in Europe say
The youth are generally more progressive. Recently, every demographic has displayed an increase in right-wing participation. This isn’t so much of an age issue as it is a reactionary issue to educational and economic shortcomings from the last couple decades. Many right-wing populists are just really good at reaching people with distorted messaging, unfortunately.
This fits with the article’s data of young people radicalizing towards the left and the right in equal measure.
A question that doesn’t distinguish between the centre-right and the far left will show “radicalization without the average changing” as “the far right growing”.
I’m sure corporate and state media are choosing to report on growing support for the far right but not on growing support for the far left for perfectly normal reasons.
