No I’m not catastrophising.

The world is slowly lurching towards a fully fascist led America, India, Hungary, Russia, Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Argentina.

Instead people are either ignorant or blaming “wokeism”* for their problems.

I have no clue what to do and this is literally a car crash in slow motion.

I’m despondent because I’m going to be crushed under the boot when the time comes and my morals get in the way of my survival instinct.

Humans are repeating the mistakes of the past. It’s just so anxiety inducing.

*Woke is a useless term promulgated by fascists to dog whistle the things they really want to hate - feminism, socialism, LGBTQIA+, immigration, brown/black people, equality and diversity.

      Wants that the concerns of people are taken seriously, but uses alt right dogwhistles like ‘immigration is a problem’ & ‘globalist are destroying this country’. Both are absolut non-problems of the common folk, but are used in line with real problems, like rising cost of living.

      You, sir, are a clown.

        Yeah thats a problem I frequently see. People arguing that we should solve “the problems” and then naming things that fascists made up and actually aren’t real problems. How does one solve a problem that doesn’t exist but people have been made to think it exists by lying fascists? Telling them that what the fascists say is a lie won’t help either cause they are not willing to accept other opinions

          Everything is becoming decentralized because it offers a fairer, more level playing field. Except in governance, where things move towards a consolidation of power under the guise of unity and progress with the net result being that the voice of the person becomes a distant cry.

      It’s not concerns, it’s fear. The problems are not automation or immigration. The problem is empoverishment.

      People fear about automation and immigration because they’re sold the idea that they must work or die, but there isn’t work for everyone. The liberals love this idea because it enslaves people to their work. Fascists love these ideas because it gives them an enemy to fight for a culture war.

      And here you have an alliance of fascists and liberals. Exactly like in the 30s.
