In all seriousness however we really should be paying more attention to this.

France at the moment is a Canary in our Coal mine. The last couple died already and we were too stupid to pay attention (Looking at Italy and Eastern Europe and side-eyeing America).

'Strong Men' and Right-Wing is getting back into positions of power.

Why?

Because we have a lot of fairly Liberal democracies whose policies are causing more problems than they solve and creating degrees of unrest. Thats typically when people start getting upset and the loudmouths get a platform that is listened to.

Its a tale as old as time.

- Inflation is rampant
- Jobs are scarce
- Cost of living is becoming unaffordable
- Housing shortages
- Immigration is unchecked
- Homelessness is becoming a problem
- Drug epidemics
- Land Wars in Europe and Middle East

Guess what this is going to lead to? Because we've seen this show before.

And unfortunately, its real easy (not necessarily true) to point fingers at the Liberal Democracies that essentially either actively or passively allowed it to happen.

Like I said. We've seen this movie already.
