far-right movements

A new book titled 'End Times Fascism' examines how supremacist groups are uniting around end-of-the-world ideas. The work, covered by NPR, explores the ideological overlap between far-right extremism and apocalyptic thinking, and how these beliefs fuel radicalization. It is drawing attention for shedding light on a growing current within extremist movements.

France's far-right National Rally made gains in the country's Senate elections, marking a further advance for the party in national institutions. The result underlines the continued rise of Marine Le Pen's movement, which has already made significant inroads in the National Assembly and European elections, and is being closely watched for what it signals ahead of future national contests.

The Washington Post reports on a woman who helped lead a far-right internet movement and was subsequently attacked and rejected by the same community she helped build. The article examines how online extremist movements often turn against prominent figures within their own ranks, and what her experience reveals about the dynamics of these groups.

European far-right movements are gaining ground by appealing to voters' feelings of loss — of status, identity and economic security — rather than simply winning them over with policy. Commentators argue that understanding this emotional root is key to explaining radicalism's rise across the continent and the growing challenge it poses to mainstream politics.
