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.

    Yeah, fascism is growing, which is not good. Another thing that is not good is that the growing counterforce to fascism seems to be almost the exact same as it was in early 1900s, i.e. somewhat radical (practically fascistic) leftism.

    Why try the same remedy again when it failed the last time?

      Radical leftism is a good thing, and isn’t fascist, nor is it anywhere close to power. When was the last time the US had a leftist president? When was the last time it had a fascist president? Case closed.

      Stop treating the left like a boogeyman, this is Enlightened Centrist nonsense.

      Go on, tell us how many elections away to obtaining absolute and permanent power the authoritarian left is - in a way that its troops will be roaming the streets rounding up undesirables.

            Yeah, I can see how that doesn’t make my comments more trustworthy. Sorry about that. I delete my account once in a while to get a vacation from Lemmy. Then come back when I get the urge to challenge my worldview.

            This place is perfect for that.

              you mean: troll other people’s worldviews?

              some people don’t find baseless arguments entertaining… but there are “debate x” subs if you really want that…

      Fellas, is it fa to be antifa?

      I don’t know how is it like in your internet bubble, but in the real world tankies are not the majority in antifa spaces.

        I’m glad to hear that. Being on Lemmy skews my view of the situation as well, I guess.

        And no, I don’t think Antifa is fascistic. Counterproductive sometimes perhaps, but not fascist.
