Fascism is doing well it has become a meme, a good for consumption and an emotional world. Its dreams of violence and man fantasies find a perfect biotope on the net. Right-wing agitators create marketable emotional patterns that reach from YouTube and parliaments to the streets. They build attractive counter-realities and win elections, followers and audiences with them. From GamerGate to Halle, "great exchange" to "Corona lie" - Simon Strick examines the affective strategies of right-wing actors. Numerous analyses show how they popularise and connect feelings of endangerment for whites and men: This fascism speaks the language of the risk society and effectively manipulates democratic spaces. Distancing is not a remedy for this right-wing revolution of feelings. Right(-wing) feelings must be answered collectively and affectively.
