Let's be clear, if you're American, British, Canadian, French or now German, there's an operation at foot to promote hard right extremes and disrupt your country. True of probably most of the world, really, even if it hasn't fully taken root in your country.
Ultimately, yes, we're in this together so no matter what your anger (or smugness level) is, keep in mind nothing good comes from other-ing those on the same side of history as you.

Theres also Romania, who almost elected a pro-russian right-wing extremist, and Moldova, whose citizens have been bribed to vote against joining the EU
-
Realistically Moldova shouldn't be in the EU anyway. There are quite a few countries that have been admitted into the European Union that really shouldn't have been. Nations with economic instability (for whatever reason) joining the single market only caused problems for the single market.

Right-Wing parties are not in power in any of those countries except America. Sure there is a plan to try and promote right-wing ideologies in those countries they're always is a plan to promote right-wing ideologies it's what the right wing is for.

I'm not just referencing the growth of their parties but also stupid decisions like Brexit. And it's not necessarily just right wing, but also adversaries who benefit from our division. You can't deny the existence of Russian and Chinese bot farms.
-
If anything I would think that the UK is less likely to make right-wing decisions now than it was 10 years ago. Precisely because we got to see how much of a fuck up they were.
Existence of bot farms isn't really indicative of anything they've existed for years now long before Trump

The people posting denigrating memes and sparking those rage-filled threads are the trash of the Earth. Infighting helps absolutely nobody.

You're right. If you see the world not as a conflict between nation states but as a class war all of this makes a lot more sense. This is not to say that nation states don't matter. They are absolutely still used by the ruling class to maintain order and justify their actions as a "defense of our nation and culture". Fascism has no hard rules or ideologies. It is used to defend capitalist interests and power. It is why we are seeing the rise in far right politics in the west.
The capitalist class does not know borders; it knows class interest. Fascism is the defense of this interest in the face of capitalism internal contradictions.
