Political alliances are often explained through shared values, common interests, or a vision of the future. But what happens when none of those explanations seems entirely sufficient? Across contemporary Western politics, movements with very different beliefs have increasingly found themselves rallying around the same international cause.
Their differences are not trivial, and the question of what connects them deserves more than a superficial answer.
In my latest video, I explore this strange convergence and ask what it reveals about the direction of modern political life.
