Germany is going to almost abolish the "solidarity tax" that benefited eastern Germany. To dumb statesmen this is probably a punishment (the east is almost all-AfD), but to the smarter ones this is accelerationism. I wouldn't be surprised if there was discreet money behind the rise of the alt right, dark enlightenment, and other things reactionary. Remember that Gladio was a set of elites that ended up using far-right elements to produce false flags against communism.

Abolished, yeah sure, they totally gonna give up on 12+ billion in taxes especially now that all those "Fachkräfte" have arrived (cuz you know all of them are going to pay soooo much income tax). They just going to rename and double it.
Why else do you think that now after its been debaded for over 20 something is "happening".
Your theory about money being behind the right is intresting, if true wonder what its supposed to acomplish, those powers dont just throw money at things.

Remember that there are moneyed people who think far ahead, in terms of generations. To them, leftism, fascism, it probably is all fashion, to be bought when the weather demands it. My guess that there is support for reactionary and overtly national socialist forums is is just that, a guess. I see punctual support for the right everywhere.
The leftist part of the US deep state today loves anti-semitism. You recognise their shills at the odd coupling of strong anti-Israel cries with strangely blue-pilled attitudes on women, for example. This one I credit to Jim and company.
Gladio was literally a few elites in each European government organising armed guerilla in case the commies would invade. Their activities eventually went right into murder of charismatic communist leaders (Belgium), bombing proles (Italy) under false (communist) flag, ... even Luxembourg got its share. The center of the network were the British and American foreign intelligence. I think I remember someone involved mentioning they were switching to Islamism as the new bogeyman, but that could be my imagination.
Israel itself has supplied weaponry to a Ukrainian government that pretty much LARPs as neo-nazis.
The French may look like pansies, but part of the army has disctreetly received Israeli training in how to contain Islamic infestation in a city environment. Behind their humanist posturing, they're regularly killing uncooperative Africans and handle their economies (who prints the monies of West Africa?).
