Another common thread is reactions against immigration (legal or illegal or refugee) perceived to be beyond what's reasonable. It's not a thing that a country is entirely powerless to do something about, but big increases are, like inflation, a pretty much global phenomenon.


As the Saint Mel Brooks (MPBUH) parable went:
“Sir, The Peasants Are Revolting”
“You Can Say That Again”


As was often the case, Saint George Carlin (RIP) nailed it. "It's a big club, and you ain't in it."

It's not just the US, it's pretty much all the West countries. The people who go to Davos and WEF.

More full quote: "It's a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club. And by the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. ... The game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people -- white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on -- good honest hard-working people continue -- these are people of modest means -- continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you."
