Young Europeans are seemingly getting more right wing – and at a much faster rate than Americans or Brits. So in this video we’ll explain how Gen-Z Europeans are shifting right and try our best to figure out why this might be happening.

    The youth in the USA and UK have undergone far more Left-wing social engineering from a young age all throughout their education systems and with entertainment, Media narratives, social media, etc. Their baseline assumptions have been fundamentally altered. The same goes for their assumptions concerning reality.

    None of it was natural.

    Part 2,*** See USA with problems in NY, SF, Or, WA, LA, DC, Chicago, Wi, on and on the same things, Rape, Assaults, Robbery. Auto theft, Home break ins, and those Blue Democrat liberals getting a taste of it finally. Businesses closing and moving out of state. The Illegals were mostly in southern states and the North and Congress made more liberal laws in those Blue areas and in USA. We are pushing the illegals north and they fare finding out the Truth and they will shift right this year pushing Deportation in 2025.

    PART 1 *****American Expat answer! Immigration and the lies as in the USA under Biden. It is no longer safe for women to go out alone for a walk or shopping in the city. Rape and assault covered up by Police for Liberal Government's as it was in Colon Germany. Germany changed after the facts came out and that they had been lied to. They want their country back with the safety they had without Muslims and Third world people here it want happen., and they know it! PRIME EXAMPLES= Scandinavian countries Plus Finland and Holland deporting as fast as they can.

    Europe is facing a crisis, and it’s called the African birth rate. Africa has the highest birth rate in the world, and the African population is going to double. Europeans face an existential choice. Do you want Europe to remain European, or do you want it to become African and Muslim?

  9. @philipnelson1684

    February 25, 2024 at 2:36 pm

    Reading the comments, it appears that the main reason for younger generations moving away from the establishment political parties is mass immigration. I wonder; Who initiated the mass immigration to Europe and why?

  10. @philipnelson1684

    February 25, 2024 at 2:36 pm

    The current European political establishment has become very arrogant rarely even considering concerns of their own citizens. It appears that the voters have had enough of being totally ignored. They are therefore seeking alternative political leadership .

    February 25, 2024 at 2:36 pm

    The right is also rising in Romania, where there aren’t almost no refugees( except Ukrainians but they are really close to us culturally so yeah). The right-wing party AUR being at around 25-30% and the extremely far-right SOS Romania being at about 5-7% . SOS Romania is REALLLYYY far-right on social issues ( they want to put lgbt people in reeducation camps, that is actually part of their electoral campaign ) and REALLLY far-left on economics ( they want to nationalize everything and ban foreign companies from Romania ) I’m not joking, that’s actually what is written on their governing program page… AUR is more moderate, but they are also very right wing on social issues and quite left-wing on economic issues. I would classify them as slightly more right wing than Trump on social issues and on economics they have kinda the same stance as the Nordic countries, so center-left to left-wing. Also the biggest party in Romania, PSD ( the social-democrats) that are at about 30% are also quite conservative on social issues( I would compare them to Trump in his early days as president ), and quite mixed when it comes to economics. They have some strong welfare policies, but they are also quite liberal with the taxation of big companies. They are also VERY corrupt, so that’s a big issue. The remaining parties, PNL and USR are basically irrelevant, since both of them will probably score under 15%. PNL is basically the yes-man of Brussels, and whatever they say, PNL says as well. However, on certain issues, like LGBT or the Romanian Orthodox Church they are quite conservative, being against gay marriage and pro-funding the National Church. They are also quite liberal with taxation and kinda mixed regarding welfare, but they lean to the liberal side. PNL is also SUPER CORRUPT, so yeah, that’s a big problem. The USR are EXTREMELY libertarian. They want to privatize education, the healthcare system, all of the state companies and basically, the whole infrastructure of Romania. They are also quite progressive on social issues. They are quite neutral on the matter of gay marriage, but they tend to be more progressive on lgbt policies and they are also the only party that is against funding the National Church. Their polling situation is critical, tho. At this point, if the trends stay the same, their score is expected to be under 9%. We also have UDMR, but that’s basically an ethnic party for the Hungarian minority in our country, that is also VERY corrupt.

  12. @FaraStiriRO

    February 25, 2024 at 2:36 pm

    In Romania 90% of the population are ethnic Romanians, and the remaining 10% are Hungarians, Turks and gypsies, which are historic minorities that have been here for centuries. Unfortunately, we started having immigration here as well. We have over 100.000 southeast asian foreign workers here and about 800.000 Ukrainian refugees. The Ukrainians aren’t really a problem, since they are quite close to us culturally and we both are Orthodox Christians, but they are quite arrogant. The main problem is that we have over 7000 refugees from islamic countries, and the number is rising. That is really scary. The government is saying that we won’t allow more refugees, but not many ppl believe them.

  13. @Theyorkshirepirlo

    February 25, 2024 at 2:36 pm

    For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The further left parties in power get the more they will drive people to the right. It’s equilibrium.

  16. @dankenk

    February 25, 2024 at 2:36 pm

    I have the perfect explanation: the US and the UK were the biggest opposition of communism and we’re very capitalistic and now, they say the cons of capitalism and want to be more socialist . Europe saw the cons of allegedly far right Nazism and fascism, and went far left, and now, they see the cons of being far left and Socialists, and want to be more capitalist and nationalist.

  17. @Tutel9528

    February 25, 2024 at 2:36 pm

    European left and right are far more diverse than the American and Canadian ones, for Americans and Canadians progressivism means left wing while conservatism mean right wing.It's not that simple here.We have tens of different variants of economic and social right/left.

  18. @brunotrindade3509

    February 25, 2024 at 2:36 pm

    Amazing video, as always!
    Just one comment though. To contrast illegal migration being the main issue between young europeans to a small percentage of young americans being in favor of Trump's wall.. One (american) can very well be against illegal immigration in the US as a whole (similar to young europeans) and not be in favor of the wall, as that's just a.. yea, lack of better word, stupid idea lol

    I'm a German-Brazilian immigrant based in Ireland, and I will say at least what I see here. There's a common association of (far) right wing with people that just happen to have that political view and are just a problem to society. People use the 'far right' loosely to refer to trouble makers in general, people that not only start protests against immigration but also loot shops and stores while at it, being violent and so on.
    That misconception, along with the Trumps, Bolsonaros and Mileis of the present time are tarnishing what it is to just have a reasonable right wing political view on things, specially from an economic point of view.

    Cause they are tired of the bullshit. High taxes, crime, mass migration. Why is anyone shocked?

  24. @Adrian-Sko

    February 25, 2024 at 2:36 pm

    EU's open doors' imigration policy is by far the biggest reason, young people are turning to the right. It's mostly young people who have to deal with immigrants on a daily basis, in school, in low-paying jobs, in the clubs etc. They see their behavior and massive cultural differences, that make it impossible to coexist and shift to the right wing parties who are the only ones addressing these issues. It really saddens me, that the EU's crazy policies over migration, might be the death of it.

    I also believe there is another social aspect. Back in the days, being progressive, caring about the climate or being anti-religious, were not in the mainstream. Young people flocked to progressive policies, because they were anti-establishment, nowadays, it's the opposite. Conservative ideas are the ones that aren't in the mainstream, hence why young people are turning away from progressive ideas who are now in line with mass-culture, government policies etc. Young people tend to go against the norm, and since progressive ideas have become the norm now, they're looking opposite. Pretty weird.

  25. @stevensibbet5869

    It's the electoral system

  26. @user-lf4vj6qq8q

    February 25, 2024 at 2:36 pm

    Because immigration in America works, and is mostly communities who assimilate. Immigration to Europe is mostly Muslims, and many are Islamist in their politics and refuse to assimilate. There you go, simple.

  27. @AyRCee

    February 25, 2024 at 2:36 pm

    British. ive been central all my life till this year. Im on the right side now. Im sick of lefts ideologies and they can't see immigration is tareing this beautiful land up. Im racist because i want to keep my culture. You dont need gas to kill. just brain wash the youth to cut up their bodies by promoting transgender at a age where your a adolescent but not fully a man or woman Yet intellectually. Right is fully banned so of course we would be fully left because we have to look very hard for unbiased news now days or we would be like mainland Europe. Srompt oit the left 💪

  28. @whywouldyoucare

    February 25, 2024 at 2:36 pm

    Lets not pretend we dont all know what drives these rises…people always use this word Immigration crisis. But that isnt actually in any way the case. It isnt really immigration but WHT KIND of immigration was pushed in Europe for the past 30 years. Young people are bearing the brunt of the conflict with the Middle east happening in the entire social structure of the European union and the UK. Theyre the one that SEE the changes. That have to live them every day. THe settled grown ups in europe drive to work in cars theyre seperated almost enitrely from the actual changes happening. And of course economic factors drive the reactionism that then leads to young people feeling like they "need to do something" about it.
