Last time I checked, AFS was not in goverment. I would say that the "far-right" is voting more centrist now than when they first came to be, like the popular parties we have now. S doesnt support nazis anymore or work with race biology. All of this I would say is better than before, even tho I agree that some things still are a little too right-leaning right now

Last time I even heard of AFS was years ago. I have heard of NMR recently, but that was because of the excellent documentary "Omgiven av fiender" (surrounded by enemies).

Unless of course OP means that Sverigedemokraterna is "far right", or even Nazis as some here in the comments claim. I do wonder then what NMR/AFS would be. Ultra extreme far right ultra-Nazis?

Meanwhile, Austria reached step 6 in the early 2000s and is now at step 7, the Nazis are polling at number 1 with a comfortable distance to the next party.

That whole series is pretty enlightening on the process of online right wing radicalization. For young men, that is. Definitely worth your time!

It lost me when it said white liberals just want moral wins over conservatives and don't care about minorities.

By and large, they do. As an establishement, the Democrats only have a passing interest in entertaining the idea of passing legislation that would increase racial equity in any meaningful manor in the US. It's the same story in plenty of other countries too.

It's worth pointing out that "liberal" in the context of political discourse of this kind isn't the broader, more common definition of "progressive, vaguely left leaning" but liberalism or more accuratelyneoliberalism
