Abstract: Contemporary societies are becoming more unstable, and amid nostalgic feelings of lost identity and representation, some individuals are drawn to populist right-wing movements and parties. In contrast, others become radicalised and are pulled towards civil unrest. As Young ( 2007 ) describes in The Vertigo of Late Modernity, late modernity is characterised by economic insecurity, cultural upheaval, and social fragmentation, leading to alienation, mistrust, and a longing for an imagined, more orderly past. These insecurities create fertile ground for movements that seek to restore an idealised bygone era, offering clarity and a sense of belonging in a climate of uncertainty.
