In Europe the culture you're describing is pretty much non-existent, yet far-right parties are on the rise everywhere.
I don't think there's a causal relationship, perhaps it exacerbates the issue yes, but it's not the cause of it.
I think far-right rhetoric is just too easy to digest, a clear group of enemies is identified for you (just like it is for the people on the left you described). And digging deeper and analyzing an increasingly complex socioeconomical situation, where things interconnect on a global level, is becoming harder and harder, so the inherent tribalism in us drives us to adopt those easy answers.

- rdtsc 8y ago> far-right parties are on the rise everywhere. Wonder what is the cause then. The economy is stagnant and people are reaching for the extremes?
