There are and have always been bizarre political currents in europe (like the extreme left, and the revolutionary left bombing stuff in the eighties just as an axample), but it’s not like the USA where everything catches fire at once, we’re 27+ countries and they all pull in different ways, so far right expansion is something not to take lightly, but it will not be a walk in the park subverting the EU (fascists tend to need a sort of quick power grab) even if it can happen in distinct countries.
I also believe the Kremlin is behind lots of those problems, amplifying them and sponsoring far right parties. And it seems those days will come to an end or at least be correctly countered and not welcomed with open arms like in the last 20-30+ years.
So I’m quite optimistic for the long haul, we got some 5-10 turbulent years ahead but I’m confident we’ll survive mostly.
Don’t expect to find unbiased reporting on this, the fact of the matter is someone who was likely her and her accomplices attacked and brutally beaten people who were most likely far right sympathizers going home from a Neo-Nazi-adjacent march to the brink of death.
Poor innocent everyday workers that did nothing wrong and just regular good people like you and me were going home from some gathering the purpose of which you shouldn’t worry about and please don’t look into it, were suddenly and unprovokedly attacked by some evil people for reasons you also shouldn’t look into, probably just because they’re evil, so you need to give the government more power to do violence.
The RAF engaged in a series of bombings, assassinations, kidnappings, bank robberies, and shootouts with police over the course of three decades.
Sounds quite extreme to me. I mean in their actions. Their political side was antifascism which is what everyone should be IMO but gets the extreme label when there us violence I guess.
I see Russian hands everywhere too, not just politically but in cyber attacks and industrial sabotage. The problem is the USA who already light sabotaged us as allies are turning full blown hostile under trump. Economy is stable but industry and job market are declining fast and AI will break this even more (not only a European problem though.)
But nationalism rising is what makes me more afraid as I fear countries leaving Europe under false pretense due to corrupted politicians (or controlled/blackmailed by foreign powers). I fear what is happening in the USA becoming the norm.
Please explain a bit more because I see Europe in real danger in the next decade. (Far right rising, usa, Russia, China wanting to weaken us)

Nothing organised but there are some people.

It’s very generous to call a nazis attending annual nazi march “likely far right sympathizers going home from a Neo-Nazi-adjacent march”

Are you just sealioning?
If not, one example is RAF, the Baader Meinhofen group among others but European history is full with extreme left lol.

As per wikipedia:

Don’t insult people with “sealioning” when it’s their first reply. Not everyone is an expert in German politics from 25 years ago.
Wow have you never heard of EUROPEAN far left? Russian revolution, french anarchists, the list goes on.
I’m happy to answer but you should also put a minimum effort in a question about historical geopolitics, especially if you “don’t know anything”.

Yeah I’m on your side here for sure, megabassines mega vides what a stupid idea and a waste of everything.
