Sadly the right is on the rise everywhere and not solely due to twitter, they just give it a more visible voice

Maybe, maybe not. I guess it depends on the country. In Canada, the right is mocked into oblivion and the message is pretty fucking clear that we do not want the shit that is happening in the US to slowly creep it's way here. Really happy with the progress we've done to push these brainwashed fascists away.

Idk man, I’m in the US so my perspective is limited to media, but I do see things like the trucker convoys that make me worried that Canada has its own problems with the far right.

Oh i'm not trying to hide it, we do. But trust me, these people were mocked at, pissed on, laughed at and got humiliated. À l'instar of 40% of our population, it's tiny little 5% that mostly reside in Alberta and no one really care about their existence. Huuuuuuuuge difference with the US but we see it, we watch, we are learning.

Didn't you have a massive blockade of anti-vaxers in a major city the other year?

Have you not noticed how all the polls have put the Conservatives well in the lead for the popular vote ever since Poilievre took over and started pandering to fascists? The right is mocked online, but Poilievre stands a real chance of becoming the next Prime Minister. Canada is suffering a serious lurch to the right.

The 1930s video from America give a lot of perspective. Then we camped the Japanese but let the Germans have children summercamps????

Eh, it's ok. There's not that many of them. They're just louder.

There is a loud crazy minority and many people that like what they say or silently accept it. Some may even be ashamed to mention it.

Fear is often accompanied by shame. People are afraid and altright capitalize these fears
