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.

      Thanks for this, reading now.

      I’ve also been busy reading the history of the rise of the Nazi party particularly the SA.

      It’s scary (scary is not a strong enough word for the combined emotions of frustration, anger, fear, anxiety) how close current USA events are replicating the original rise of Nazi Germany.

        Even current German events are replicating the rise of Nazi Germany. But many people are too blind to see…

          Yeah, it’s so sad. Before inflation and all the other shit, nobody cared about fascist, but now they’re like

          “Oh hey, that are so easy solutions to my severe Problems, I don’t care if they discriminate a minority or a group of people. Let’s vote them!”

          Just to realize that they would change nothing - they will make it worser - and install slowly but surely their fucking pervert dictatorship.

            You mean the problems the fascist just made up and actually aren’t a really problem

        It’s happening in France too. Are the fascists roaming the streets to beat leftists and Arabs in your country too?

          Only in the east and rural areas. So far.
