I would really like this to be true. At least in my country the younger population (e.g. under 25s) is moving extreme-right instead of anti-capitalism. The amount of Andrew Tate fans that apparently do not even oppose human trafficking is insane.

Are they pro corporate though?

Sometimes these right leaning people are mad and are expressing things wrong but they still are aware how most companies are abusing the system.

I was libertarian right put of high school. I was rightfully upset with what the government does. It wasn't till later I realized it was the 1% controlling it, and that was a nig problem.

These days I just want to self select into a 2000ish person commune. (Studies shoe that peoplestart viewing each other as strangersonce you approach 2000 population)

Who needs a state? Oh wait, the need is that other nation states will assault you instantly if they sense weakness. Must be a cultural issue that we cannot live in "peace" without having a massive authoritarian nightmare hovering over every aspect of our lives.

I was a card carrying libertarian until about 23-24.

20 years later I want Nordic Socialism (at the very least) & most CEOs fed into woodchippers as they would be more useful as mulch.
