  1. Provocative: Offering simplistic solutions in an ever-complex world.

  2. Missed Opportunities: Failure to reform parliamentary and democratic institutions, as seen in Renzi's unsuccessful attempt.

  3. Post-2008 Fallout: Economic challenges exacerbated by Germany's austerity policies, evident during the Covid pandemic.

  4. Middle-Class Struggles: Ignored or worsened by neoliberal reforms, coupled with challenges of an aging society.

  5. Disinformation Game: Undemocratic players like Russia and China exploit Western disparities to destabilize opinions.

In summary, it's a confluence of economic, ecological, and political challenges ignored for years. Neoliberal and conservative leaders failed to prepare the public for these fast-approaching changes. The current era of transformation is overwhelming, with parties seeking change challenging the status quo.

Right-wing and fascist parties globally tap into the frustration, promoting a familiar narrative: "Return to simpler times by blaming refugees, migrants, trans, homosexuals, and others. We offer stability and structure." It's a playbook used a century ago and likely to resurface in the next crisis.

Yes, only that this time there is no future ahead... not many will survive the crisis and the quality of life for those who will is going to be close of the "good ol' times" when we lived in caves.
