No. It’s also on the rise outside of the global West. Indonesia is slowly creeping towards fascism, over the last 20 years they’ve slowly implemented draconian laws. And this year the’ve elected a former genocidal general as president who in the past has openly said he would love to become a dictator. The Philippines after Duterte has no more freedom of press. Same in Thailand, can’t even make a joke about the monarchy without going to jail. Modi has promoted Hindu nationalism in India and stoked ethnic violence. Uganda and Nigeria has introduced stricter laws against the LGBTQ (these kind of laws are precursors to the rise of fascism) Argentina has voted in a wannabe fascist as president who is nostalgic for the days when Argentina was under dictatorial rule. Fascism is slowly on the rise across the globe.
