You posted an outdated picture without explanation, and now you changed your own description of what point you're trying to make ("uniquely fertile ground" vs "uniquely far right"), and now you're trying to turn this around on me.
No, I don't see how an outdated picture that doesn't reflect the current reality proves or refutes anything.
For the record, again, I don't necessarily disagree with you, I don't think Germany has unique circumstances or w/e that make it especially vulnerable to far right ideology. I just think you're doing an awful job and bringing your point across.
And now I'll stop replying with multiple paragraphs to your one-line comments, obviously you're not putting much effort into them.
I must have higher standards for what constitutes proof than you have.
It's not that I disagree with your point or agree with the post you were replying to. I just don't see how your image supports or refutes any of it.
From your link: "In Europe and North America, the establishment of social liberalism (often called simply liberalism in the United States) became a key component in expanding the welfare state."
Idk, that seems compatible with most of the left-of-center spectrum, and certainly not something you would find a libertarian or conservative supporting. I can see how it's not compatible with auth-left positions, though.
Perhaps you're referring to neoliberalism, which, in my understanding, dropped all the social welfare stuff in favor of corporate welfare. In that case, I can understand how that term could be used as an insult.
In my eyes liberalism != neoliberalism. I consider myself liberal, and I despise neoliberal policies.
What PR department?
Which European countries have a more progressive policy regarding cannabis?
Vienna is certainly a great example for public housing done right, but I don't see how it's relevant to the post. As far as I'm aware, Austria's problem with right wing populism is even worse than in Germany.
