@ZaneSelvans it's complicated because the outlying factors vary from country to country. One thing that seems to be a common denominator is degrading education. More and more places "educate" their children on what to write to pass tests. Youth find inspiration in lowly reality-show characters and not in proved heroes and public servants. Masses fall into blindly following big personalities, like the elon musk cult. Extremist, highly aggressive leaders are those who fill that profile. A possible reason for these new elites to be mostly right-wing might be due to severe inequality that helped multimillionaires increase their power to the point of challenging political democratic institutions. Again, this is a generic description. Not every society will show it identically. #rightwing #cult
