    The rise of right-wing in Europe can be directly attributed to the massive influx of right-wing conservative ideologues from the middle East pouring in.

    You might want to think on this some more, because this seems like a bad take to say the least. The people coming from the Middle East to the EU are very diverse. In fact, it’s a big pull that there’s a lot more freedom here than in their home countries. Including the freedom to e.g. be openly gay.

    Our societies have (largely informally) been segregating immigrants from the native-born citizens. We also didn’t prioritize education about e.g. Islam. This void has been abused by organizations sponsored by autocratic nations to infiltrate or societies. That’s one part of the issue.

    Another is that xenophobia is privileged in all of our brains. And a third is that over the past few decades, our societies were reshuffled to make outcomes worse for poor people.

      I completely disagree is a bad take. I think you’re overlooking the reality that a right leaning Neo-Nazi has a lot in common with a conservative islamist.

      You see it very clearly in Canada with the push to keep sex education out of classrooms being led by the far right PPC party and huge swaths of recently immigrated people from the middle East and Indian subcontinent. They use different methods but they have the same goals ultimately.
