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.

    That’s not certain and them getting absolute power also isn’t.

    So to me it sounds a bit like the arguments that they like to use. Like:

    if we accept immigrants, they will slowly replace us and destroy the country

    Technically maybe that could happen, but there are many other things that could also happen and that you are failing to consider.

      If Modi, Trump, La Pen, Orban aren’t elected/reelected perhaps I’d change my view but I don’t have good reasons for thinking those things won’t happen.

      If you believe that if those people are elected and it won’t lead to more fascism then I’m not sure what to say.
