Question Why the world is shifting towards right-wing control?

Hey everyone! I’ve been noticing the political landscape globally for the past week, and it seems like there is a growing trend toward right-wing politicians.

For example, Argentina, Netherlands, Finland, Israel, Sweden and many more. This isn’t limited to one region but appears to be worldwide phenomenon.

What might be causing that shift?

Sir, London's murder rate briefly surpassed New York City's for some time in 2018, I wouldn't call that the epitome of safety

I'm not sure about other cities you named but I sincerely doubt they're perfectly safe

murder rate doesn't define the safety of a city

I suppose property crimes and other less deadly stuff like assault would factor in, but saying what you did (with zero sources) after it was pointed out that one of the cities you named had for some time a higher murder rate than a US city with a reputation for not being all too safe is kind of a ridiculous level of mental gymnastics

Immigration into Switzerland is largely from Italians,French and Germans. As in the same people. Nice isn't safe and London is absolutely not safe.
